It seems lately that everyone is focused Iran, Russia and now this new invasion of Russia into Georgia and this leads the commentators to World War 3. I would like to depart for the time being from these issues and focus on Daniel 9:25 and the Messiah instead. Daniel 9:25; "Know therefore and understand (yes, God is asking us to understand, to listen up), that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks (49 years), and threescore and two weeks (434 years): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (70 A.D.). Let's break it down...
The commandment to rebuild was given in Nehemiah 2:1-8 in 444 B.C. One week is 7 years, therefore 7 weeks equal 49 years or 7x7= 49 years. Threescore and two weeks, 62 weeks and 62x7=434 years.
Moving on... Now we need to convert for a Biblical calendar.
Wrapping it up... Prophetical calculations of time in God's word are divinely given and accurate. Even with slight variations in our lunar and Julian calendars, Messiah's crucifixion can be accurately narrowed down to within a ten year period in the first century. According to God's word, Messiah has to have been crucified already. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been historically documented as happening within this very time period. Most scholars agree that the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem was given in 444 B.C. Adding the exact number of years stated in Daniel chapter 9 brings us to A.D. 32, give or take a few years depending on the calendar you use. Well, there you have it, God's word is accurate down to the very period on the page! We have a sure testimony in God's word and can rely on it for every issue we might find ourselves faced with in this life. Have a problem? Have a concern? Need help? Turn to the Lord He loves and cares about you! To all of you who have prayed and are still praying for my Mom, thank you! I will keep you informed...
Because, in truth, because they have misled my people, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace; and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear whitewash on it. Say to those who smear whitewash on it that it shall fall. (Ezekiel 13:1-16 / NRSV) This Month's Headlines... Signs in the heavens...

Here "Many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. - Mic 4:2 "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy." Psalm 137:5,6
