https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 82 THE LAST MESSAGE TO DANIEL - 2 Daniel 11:32 - 12:13 Okay, once again it’s good to have everybody back. You had your coffee break. We’ll pick right up where we left off in our last thirty minutes, and that’ll be in Daniel chapter 12 and verse 1. For those of you joining us on television, again, how we thank you for your letters. My goodness, the descriptive letters that we get of how you watch the program and how you make the coffee and how the dog gets excited, the canary gets excited—we get all these descriptions of people watching our program. But the main thing is they’re learning, and that’s all we can ask. We just got back from a long trip, and it is the same every place we go, “I watch you every morning.” Well, when they watch every day, then that tells me they’re interested. If they just watch now and then, ah, they’re just filling in time. So for those of you out there, again, we just appreciate you so much for your prayers, your financial help, and, of course, your letters. Okay, back into Daniel. Daniel 12:1a “And at that time (In other words, we’re dealing with this final seven years.) At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble,…” Now, I’m glad we looked at those two portions back in Jeremiah and Zechariah in the last half hour. How a time of trouble it is indeed going to be for the Nation of Israel. It will be-- Daniel 12:1b “…such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered,…” All right, now before we go and see what the Lord Jesus Himself said about it, turn back with me to Psalms chapter 2. While you’re doing that, I’m going to put a makeshift, shortened-up timeline on the board. I’ll put it over here hopefully where you can get it on the camera. Remember that we’re coming up out of the Old Testament with all of these prophecies concerning all this, and, of course, it led up to His rejection after three years. Then according to all these Old Testament prophecies—see, that’s what I have to constantly remind when I use this timeline. This is the Old Testament timeline. Then Christ would ascend back to Glory according to Psalms 110 verse 1, where it says “come sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.” Well, you see, shortly after that, these seven years were supposed to open up divided in half—three-and-a-half and three-and-a-half—and then that would trigger the Second Coming of Christ. Not the Rapture but the Second Coming of Christ. Now you see, when you look at it in this light, you have to ask the question then, so far as we’re concerned, what’s missing? Well, the Church Age! This calling out of the Gentiles. Well, why? Well, you see, the Church Age was totally unknown to all biblical writers except the Apostle Paul. Now, people don’t like that, and I say it carefully. But it’s a fact. That’s why Paul is always saying “Behold, I show you a mystery.” A secret. Well, who kept it secret? God did! And you all know Deuteronomy 29:29 by now, “The secret things belong unto the LORD our God, and those things which are revealed belong unto us.” What’s the word revealed mean? Something that’s been kept secret has now been revealed. All right, so the Church Age is still a secret. All through these Old Testament prophecies you won’t see any sign of it whatsoever. This is the format. Now, have you got Psalms chapter 2? We’ve used it thousands of times, I think, in the last years, but here it is again. Down to verse 4, when mankind, Jew and Gentile, Romans and Israel, have rejected the Messiah—they’ve crucified Him. Psalms 2:4 “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.” Then verse 5, after they have rejected Him. Psalms 2:5 “Then shall he speak unto them (That is the human race, but Israel in particular, because they are the most responsible.) then shall he speak unto them in his (What?) wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.” But, what’s going to follow in verse 6? The King—the King and the Kingdom, that part of Scripture, like I say all the time, most of Christendom knows nothing of. That after Christ has been crucified, rejected, ascended up to Glory, He’s going to wait whatever time He knows it’s going to take until the Tribulation is ended, and He will return and set up His Kingdom. All right, now then, stop at Daniel chapter 12 once again, because if you’re like me, you’ve already forgotten what we talked about two minutes ago. Daniel 12 verse 1, the last half of the verse. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
