https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 2 * BOOK 82 TRIBULATION PROPHECY - 2 Daniel 9:25 –11:31 Okay, it’s always so good to have everybody in again this afternoon for program number 2. I guess you’ve all had your refreshments, and we can get back to work again. Go right back to Daniel chapter 9, and we’ll pick up where we left off in the last lesson. Just in case there’s a new listener or two, we’re a simple verse-by-verse Bible study. I want people to understand that. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we seem to keep the majority satisfied, anyway. Once in a while somebody will call or write and they think they’ve got me trapped. But you know what the problem usually is? They’ve misunderstood me. And I can show what the Book says and they see it. And I say you thought you had me, but you didn’t. So anyway, it makes it interesting. Okay for those of you here in the studio, we’re in Daniel, once again, chapter 9. Let’s just go back where we left off after verse 26, that after those total of 483 years from Nehemiah’s decree to go back and rebuild the city, that would take us up to A.D. 29 and the time of the crucifixion. All right, the point I just have to keep driving home—remember now what this verse says, that this man anti-Christ, the prince that shall come—he’s called various things throughout Scripture. He’s called the son of perdition, that wicked one, and so forth. He will have to come out of what at one time was the Roman Empire. And I will never deviate from that, because that’s what it says: this prince that’s coming will come out of the empire that will destroy Jerusalem and the Temple, which was the Roman Empire in A.D. 70. Now don’t forget, Daniel is writing clear back here in 500 and some B.C. It’s still in the time of the Mede and the Persian Empire. So, it’s going to have to fall under the Greek Empire. The Greeks are going to run for a couple of hundred years before the Romans come in, but Daniel’s got it all straight already. And that’s the miracle of Scripture. All right, now then, the prince that shall come—we’ll follow him down into verse 27. And when he makes his appearance, the first thing he will do—in fact, I maintain that this is what will open the seven-year clock. The clock will start ticking those final years when this prince that’s coming, this man anti-Christ, will make a treaty in the Middle East. All right, let’s look at it, verse 27. Daniel 9:27a “And he shall confirm (or bring about) the covenant (or a treaty) with many for one week (seven years):…” Now, like so many portions of Scripture, I think God gives us credit for having a little bit of brain, that we can look at some of these things and put it together even though it doesn’t say it word-for-word. If he’s going to make a treaty with many, with our understanding now of the whole Middle East scenario, who are the many? Jews and Palestinians or Arabs. You can’t make a treaty with just one side in agreement. You have to have both sides agree. All right, so looking at the scenario that we have in the Middle East right now as I speak, you’ve got Israel surrounded by fifty times their own number of the Arab world. It’s the bone of contention that’s got the whole world all wrapped up in it. Everybody wants to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians or the Arabs. It isn’t going to happen until this guy does it. All right, now how will the anti-Christ bring about a peace treaty that will satisfy Israel sitting there in that little strip of land, and at the same time satisfy the fifty million Muslim Arabs? Well, it’s going to have to be a supernatural God-thing. There isn’t a man on earth that would be able to bring those two factions together. No way. Now, they can talk—what do they call it? The Pathway or whatever, and they get this one and that program and this and that, hey, listen, none of it is going to work. Even after Obama met with Netanyahu here a few weeks ago—well, you see, on the surface they like to make the world think that there’s hope. No, there isn’t. Because, number one: Israel will never, never, never agree to let those four, five, six hundred-thousand Arabs that left in 1948 come back. See, that’s what the Arab world holds—they cannot have peace unless Israel agrees to let all these so-called displaced Arabs come back into the land of Israel. Well, Israel can’t do that. If they would let six or seven hundred-thousand Arabs come back in within their borders, then they would lose their majority. There’d be more Arabs in Israel than Jews. So, it’ll never happen. So, there isn’t a man on earth that can bring about a peace in the Middle East as we understand peace. But, when this man appears, he’s going to accomplish it. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
