Daniel 9:27 and Daniel 12:11-12

[JLB]

Hi David
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease

The He is Jesus.

for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

I do not believe that a seven year tribulation begins with the Antichrist making a peace treaty with Israel, rebuilding a temple, starting animal sacrifices all over again and then breaking the deal half way through the seven years.

For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

I'm sorry to say this because many good Christians think this will happen. While people are watching for temples to be built or specific wars in the middle east all that has to happen is Rev. 7:

“Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”

The he puts an end to sacrifice and offering.

The he is associated with the abomination of desolation.

The he is the prince who is to come.

How does the Scripture define antichrist.
Same question said a bit differently :
Where is antichrist described in the Bible?
What is the Biblical description of antichrist. ?

The Bible never defines just one Antichrist, but says even now there are many, 1 John 2:18. We have to remember that Satan is a created spirit and needs to work through others in order to build his literal kingdom here on earth. This will be a political, economic and a religious power that will sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north which is Jerusalem and cause the greatest falling away from truth, which is an abomination of desolation unlike any other.

Jesus said those who will endure in the faith of Christ unto the end the same shall be saved. Satan said, I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God (other ruling powers) I will sit also upon the Mount of the Congregation in the sides of the north (Jerusalem). I will ascend above the clouds, I will be like the Most High, Isaiah 14:12-15.

2Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Hi DW, thank you for response.
I am confused of what you're saying here though.
You're (surprised) he's breaking the peace?? 1 Thess 5:3.
This is the Antichrist we are talking about, the father of lies John 8:44.

Hi DRS

I don't think that the "he" in Dan 9:27 is referring to the Antichrist. I don't think the tribulation is seven years long. Dan 9:27 could be reworded like this:

And Jesus shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week Jesus shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease

Jesus caused the sacrifice and the oblation to cease when He died for us on the cross. I know this might not be the popular view in prophecy books but remember when the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split in Matthew 27:51? That was Dan 9:27 in action. The curtain separated the Holy of Holies, where God was, from the rest of the temple where men were. The Herod temple was 40 cubits high, close to 60Ft and the curtain was 4" thick. I guess they could get a new curtain and keep the sacrifice and the oblation thing going but it would seem sort of foolish.
The main thing we have to do is to figure out if the 70th week is finished because that is the only place I know of where people get the seven year tribulation idea from. If the tribulation is 1335 days in duration, we might have a way to get a rough idea when it will start.

Could you show me a scripture from the New Testament where the sacrifices in the temple ceased to be performed by the Jews after Jesus was crucified?

Nothing has happened in this world sense the New Testament was put together. Is that what you believe JLB? Can you show me a scripture in the NT that says animal sacrifices are still being done in the temple?

My discussion concerns the sacrifices ceasing at the cross.

That Jesus is the "he' in Daniel 9:27, and that he caused the sacrifices to cease at the cross.

Can you see that this is what I am discussing?

What you posted has no bearing on the discussion of Jesus making the sacrifices cease at the cross. None!

It is totally off topic.

The fact is sacrifices did not cease at the cross.

The fact is sacrifices continued for almost 40 years since the cross.

The fact is a The Third Temple is about to be rebuilt and sacrifices are about to resume!

There goal is to rebuild the Temple, but that has been their goal for many years now as they even have the corner stone, but are continued denied access of following through. Do you think it could be a possibility that since Jesus was made the final offering for sin as He hung on the cross for the Jew and Gentile, Galatians 3:27-29, that this will never come to be. There is no scripture that says a third Temple will be built as scripture maintains that God's third and final temple is the Church itself as in being the Bride of Christ. If a third Temple is ever built it will not be without any relation to God or His purpose, Matthew 24:1,2.

According to Daniel 9:27 the 70th seven began with Christ baptism in AD 29 and three years later at the end of the first half of the 70th seven sacrifices and offering ceased because Christ hung on the cross as he was the final sacrifice that fulfilled the law. From the giving of the law in 458BC when Ezra went to establish the law, or to rebuild the Spiritual city right up to the cross were the first 69 sevens. The 70th seven is from the time of the cross until Jesus comes and gathers his bride as they prepare to stand in the Holy place until the overspreading of abominations he will make desolate, or make an end to all that would not repent. Antichrist (son of perdition) will take its throne, but not in a Temple built by hands, but his throne will be that of a political, economic and religious power as the new world order will, and even now is being established, Rev 13:11-18, which will cause everyone to have to bow down to its power and those who refuse will be persecuted even to death as this is the meaning of the mark of the beast as being the actions of our hands and the thoughts of our mind as being marked as a child of God or a child of this world in whom we bow down to and trust.

They have be planning and discussing the building of the Temple since the 90's.

However scripture teaches us about the timing.

And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 2 Thessalonians 2:6

Yes they have been planning this for years, but will never come to be as the temple that is mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:6 is that temple (not actual temple, but control) of power that the son of perdition will take as trying to be like God in all His power thinking himself higher than God. The withholding is that of the son of perdition (man of sin) who causes a great falling away from truth and will be exposed and then the day of the Lord will come.

The abomination of desolation Daniel spoke of was literal of the destruction of Jerusalem and prophetic of the destruction of those who are in Christ when the son of perdition sets up his ruling power as then there will be great tribulation (not a so called 7 year Great Tribulation which is not found in scripture) as never seen before or ever will be for this abomination will usher in the day of the Lord as there will be a falling away from truth as never has been before or ever will be.

Mat 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 is s reference to the literal Temple in Jerusalem.

The false Christ goes to this Temple and proclaims he is the Messiah (God).

The motto of the Jews that are involved in this effort to rebuild the Temple is:
IF WE BUILD IT, HE WILL COME.

I don't know what Temple you are referring to but the only one that the false Messiah will be reveled from is the Temple in Jerusalem.

This Temple is about to be rebuilt.

This is speaking of Gods heavenly sanctuary (Temple) that the son of perdition will try and rule from just as the king of Babylon, Isaiah 14:13-14, and the king of Tyre, Ezekiel 28:2, aspired to set their thrones in heaven. The son of perdition (man of lawlessness) will also boast that he is the possessor of Gods heavenly sanctuary, Rev 13:6 as he sets his kingdom up in that of a political, econonmic and religious power (NWO) as this will be set up in Jerusalem.

It's very unlikely that it is a real Temple, but being used metaphorically since Christ has done away with the OT Temple, John 2:19-22. Temple in the NT means we the Church and not a building made of stone, Eph 2:19-22; 1Peter 2:5.

Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Satan was the one who claimed himself to be his own god and his kingdom (which is a lesser magnitude than Gods) is that of this world and who he works through in order to claim that he will sit in the seat of God (or rise above God and sit in His heavenly seat) and also sit upon the mount of the congregation in the sides of the north (Jerusalem).

Rev 13 the beast that rises from the sea is the son of perdition that the dragon (Satan) gives power to. The son of perdition will set up a type of temple (not an actual temple) sanctuary government kingdom of nations on the sides of the north meaning taking over the seat of Jerusalem in that of a political, economic and religious power (NWO).

The Temple in the OT was the sanctuary of God here on earth as God from His heavenly throne (sanctuary) worked through those He chose to be His servants (priest) here on earth. In the NT Jesus spoke of the temple being his body and that he is the chief cornerstone, John 2:19-22. Eph 2:19-22; 1Peter 2:5. We who are in Christ indwelled with the Holy Spirit are now that temple of God not made of stone built by hand, but built of the foundation of Christ being our cornerstone, 1Cor 6:19; 2Cor 6:16. We are of the heavenly sanctuary where Gods seat is from above as we reign with Christ here on earth.

There is no purpose or reason why an actual Temple would have to be built for the veil has been torn from top to bottom, Matthew 27:51, and God no longer is in a Temple of stone built by hands.

I thought I made myself clear on that. Heavenly sanctuary is a metaphor for what type of sanctuary or another word would be kingdom that Satan is setting up through the son of perdition as he makes all nations become one nation under the leadership of Satan as Satan gives him power to do so. The building itself is not significant as God will not be dwelling there as Gods throne is in the third heaven where no man has ever gone to nor could go to. What is being set up is here on earth and will be in Jerusalem as Jerusalem has always been the Holy City of God here on earth even though it has been taken captive many times throughout history by the enemy.

Let them build a third Temple and do sacrifices there as none of it will ever be blessed of God as God has given His only begotten Son (Jesus) who was made the final blood offering sacrifice for sin. The temple will not stand in the day of the Lord as even it will be thrown down stone by stone.

Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Heb 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Heb 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Could you show me a scripture from the New Testament where the sacrifices in the temple ceased to be performed by the Jews after Jesus was crucified?


JLB

And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.

This to me says it all. This was Dan 9: 27 in action. Imagine the scene the priests must have seen when this thick giant curtain tore from top to bottom, I bet it was loud. Sure they got another curtain and kept on doing animal sacrifices for 37 more years but it was all for nothing. Their sacrifices were no longer an atonement for sin. It would be just as ridiculous if they built a new temple today and started sacrificing animals again. Can you just imagine the look on Jesus' face after what He did for us? Only God makes the decree to build temples or to sacrifice animals for the atonement of sin.


The motto of the Jews that are involved in this effort to rebuild the Temple is: IF WE BUILD IT, HE WILL COME.


That's not what God said to king David. Remember when David wanted to build the temple and God said Solomon would instead? Remember when Gabriel said " and to anoint a most holy place", this was God mandating the building of the temple. He decrees the details of their construction and He decrees the destruction of them. This time He put a seal on the location of the old temple called the Dome of the Rock to make sure we wouldn't do anything stupid like try to build another one. I heard that some guys are trying to find the Arc of The Covenant so that they can have it ready to put in the "new" temple. I don't think they're gonna find it:

Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.


The big danger with the doctrine of a rebuilt temple is that it lulls us into a false sense of security. People think nothing can happen prophetically if there is no new temple. While people are watching for wars in the middle east, redevelopment of the Roman empire, reappearance of the red heifer or a rebuilt temple they might find themselves blind sided by the start of The Great Tribulation.


For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.


Paul also said this:


Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.


I think that the Antichrist will be Satan himself and that he won't need a rebuilt temple to sit in to fulfill this verse. Remember the Devil also said this:


"I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation".


I think that the Antichrist will travel around making appearances to groups of people:


"So, if they say to you, look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it". "He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men".


I imagine many people will come just to see him call fire down from the sky. When he claims to be God I bet many of the congregation will bow their heads to him in worship. Smart guys like you and me won't be fooled.

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.
