1. This
Palm Sunday, remembering when Jesus fulfilled THE most shocking,
and most important, prophecy ever!
Exactly
173,880 days (483 Jewish Years) after the prophecy began, Jesus
was declared the Jewish Messiah!
Jesus'
Resurrection - Proof of Christianity's Most Important Doctrine
Did you realize that God told the
Jewish people THE EXACT DAY in which Messiah was going to be revealed
to the entire nation of Israel? Furthermore, God told them 483
years before it happened, so they could not miss it! No Jewish
leader could miss is momentous event! All Jewish leaders had to
do was to sit back and wait for the clock to tick down and prepare
a proper welcome for Messiah!
We are going to study the prophecy
concerning the timing of the coming of Jesus Christ, given in
unbelievable detail 600 years before Jesus was born.
Daniel 9:24-26, "Seventy weeks
of years, or 490 years are decreed upon your people and upon your
holy city Jerusalem, to finish and put an end to transgression,
to seal up and make full the measure of sin, to purge away and
make expiation and reconciliation for sin, and to bring in everlasting
righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint
a holy of holies. Know, therefore, and understand, that from the
going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem
until the coming of the anointed one, a prince, shall be seven
weeks of years, and sixty-two weeks of years; it shall be built
again with city square and moat, but in troublous times. And after
the 62 weeks of years, shall the anointed one be cut off (killed)
and shall have nothing and no one belonging to and defending Him..."
The remaining one week is found
in verse 27, and refers to the last seven years of earth's history,
the period which we know as the "Great Tribulation".
The term "Weeks of Years"
was a common Jewish term. It meant literally seven (7) years.
The term comes from God's commandment in Leviticus 25:3-4 to farm
a piece of land for only six years, allowing it to lie fallow
for the seventh. This seven-year period came to be known as a
"week of years". Therefore, Seventy Weeks of Years was
490 Hebrew years.
Note this prophecy contains three
parts:
1. 7 Weeks of Years (49 Hebrew Years)
2. 62 Weeks of Years (434 Hebrew
Years)
3. 1 Week of Years (7 Hebrew Years)
At the precise point in history
when the 7 + 62 Weeks of Years occurred, Israel could expect Messiah
to announce Himself as Messiah. What great news!
And, history confirms that this
prophecy was fulfilled to the letter!
The Mathematics Of The
Prophecy
A. The First Seven Weeks (49 Jewish
Years)
If you study the book of Nehemiah,
you will find the account of the Jewish pilgrimage to rebuild
Jerusalem following King Artaxerxes' decree. The prophet Nehemiah
assumed charge of this rebuilding effort, which was carried out
in such extreme hardship and danger that the builders carried
swords with them as they were building the walls. Thus was fulfilled
precisely the prophecy in verse 25b,"...it shall be built
again with city square and moat, but in troublous times."
This effort began in 445 B.C. and
culminated in 396 B.C., exactly 49 years, just as foretold.
B. The Second Period (62 Weeks of
Years, 434 years)
Daniel 9:26 foretells that the "anointed
One" would come after this period and would then be killed.
This wording is understood by most conservative scholars to refer
to Jesus Christ, not at His birth, but at His presentation as
the Messiah-Prince. (2) "There were only two events in the
life of Christ when He was officially set apart. One was His baptism
and the other was His triumphal entry into Jerusalem." (3)
This latter event has become known as Palm Sunday. When did Palm
Sunday occur? "The Messiah (Jesus) came to Jerusalem on Passover
in the year A.D. 32, which was April 6." (4)
C. The two periods combined (7 +
62 = 69 Weeks of Years, or 483 Jewish years, or 173,880 days).
* When we count from March 14, 445
B.C. to April 6, 32 A.D., we have 477 years, 24 days. However,
we must deduct one year because only one year lapses between 1
B.C. and 1 A.D. This gives us 476 years, 24 days or 173,764 days.
* Then, we must add 119 days to
account for the 119 leap years during these 476 years (476 divided
by 4). Now, we have 173,883 days.
* However, there is a slight inaccuracy
in the Julian calendar when compared to the solar year. The Royal
Observatory in London calculates that a Julian year is 1/128th
of a day longer than the Jewish solar year. When we multiply 476
years times 1/128, we get three days. Subtracting three from our
figure above, we arrive at the 173,880 days. (5)
Therefore, there are exactly 69
Weeks of Years (173,880 days) between the decree of King Artaxerxes
in 445 B.C. to rebuild Jerusalem to Palm Sunday, April 6, 32 A.D.!!
God foretold to the day when Messiah would present Himself to
Israel as their Messiah-King. We see this event recorded in Matthew
21:1-11.
Now we come to the next point: God
had so wonderfully foretold to Daniel the exact day on which Messiah
was to announce Himself as King.
Jesus fulfilled this prophecy to
the day when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, while the people
proclaimed Him as their Messiah. This event is celebrated each
year as "Palm Sunday". This day was exactly 69 Weeks
of Years (173,880 days) since the decree of King Artaxerxes in
445 B.C.! All the Jewish people had to do is to keep alert and
counting, throughout the generations following Artaxerxes' decree!
Had they done this, they would not have missed Jesus as their
Messiah, would not have killed Him, and perhaps, the promises
given to Millennial Israel could have come true right then.
Jesus Himself referenced this particular
day on a number of occasions.
"Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come."
-- John 2:4 -- Strong #5610 - any definite time, point of time,
moment
"Then they sought to take him:
but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come."
- John 7:30 - Strong #5610
"These words spake Jesus in
the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands
on him; for his hour was not yet come." - John 8:20 - Strong
#5610
"And Jesus answered them, saying,
The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified."
- John 12:23 - Strong #5610
"These words spake Jesus, and
lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come..."
- John 17:1 -- Strong #5610
As you can see, each time Jesus
spoke of His "hour", He was referring to this supernaturally
precise prophecy as to when Messiah was going to be announced
to the Jewish people.
You would think that this most incredible
fulfillment of prophecy would be preached annually at some time
leading up to Palm Sunday. Yet, the apostasy of the Christian
Church is so deep and wide that very few preaches are even remotely
aware of this very important proof of God's Omnipotence and His
love for the Jewish people!
Start now informing your pastor
of this wonderful prophecy and urgently asking him to preach it
during this season!
Mac Dominick covers this
prophecy with graphic illustrations in the new DVD, Revelation,
shown below as one of the prerequisites to understanding this
study.
"REVELATION:
ARE WE IN EARTH'S FINAL HOUR?"
Volume
One: "Jesus' Warning To His 7 Churches"
Watch
Unusual Trailer
We are going to examine
areas which no other teacher has even addressed, but you should
expect this kind of in-depth valuable information from Cutting
Edge Ministries! Jesus wrote this prophetic book through John
the Apostle, addressing:
• 7 Christian Churches in Asia Minor
• 7 Prophetic Seals
• 7 Trumpet Judgments
• 7 Histories (Persons)
• 7 Bowls (Vials)
• 7 Judgments (Dooms)
• 7 New Things
Since God considers the
number Seven as His Perfect Number, we can see that God is offering
a final prophetic book which consists of 7 subjects, each of which
contains 7 events. A Divinely Perfect Book in all ways!
A few of the points we will cover in Volume
1 include:
-
The Rapture of the Church true or
false?
-
Will the Antichrist be Islamic?
-
How do we understand Islamic eschatology?
-
Who is ISIS, and will ISIS conquer
the Middle East?
-
What is the true bloodline of the
Antichrist?
-
What is the fate of Russia?
-
How can the stars fall to earth from
heaven?
-
Was there any prophetic significance
to Nazi Germany?
-
Can we find the USA in the Book of
Revelation?
We will teach the Book of
Revelation in a survey format that will mingle a traditional,
contextual approach to the book with a digression to apply these
teachings and prophecies to cover the influence (or lack of influence)
of the events we see taking place right before our eyes.

Russian FM Lavrov "insists" that the Kurds be invited
to the Syrian Geneva Peace Talks.
President
Bush's "News Middle East Map" of 2006 carves a Kurdish
State out of several nations!
NEWS BRIEF: "Russian
FM Lavrov: Kurds must be invited to Geneva peace talks to
preserve Syria’s integrity", Russia
Today News, 14 March 2016
"Moscow strongly insists that
the Kurds be invited to the the upcoming Syrian peace talks in
Geneva, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said ... 'We believe
that the process, which starts in Geneva, must necessarily include
the Kurds ... The minister also stressed that Russia will press
the UN not to “surrender to ‘ultimatums’ and
invite the Kurds to the table of the negotiation process right
from the start'.”
Over the past several hundred years,
the Kurds (Ancient Medo-Persians) have been a most oppressed people.
since these Kurds have been spread so wide over the Middle East,
a number of nations have been guilty of murdering them: Turkey,
Syria, and Iraq have been the most guilty.
However, as the map below shows,
a new Kurdish State will be carved out of the Middle East.
This "New Pentagon
Map of the Middle East" was printed in the American Armed
Forces Journal in their June, 2006, issue. When furor erupted
in the capitals of nations throughout the region -- including
from American Islamic allies -- over what this map depicted, the
White House quickly and officially distanced itself from it. However,
the damage was done, because foreign leaders knew all about new
strategy of forcing all nations of the world into the cashless
society, a strategy covered in the book, "The Pentagon's
New Map", published in 2004, authored by Thomas M. Barnett,
strategic researcher and professor at the U.S. Naval College,
and Illuminati extraordinare!
As you can see, this map depicts
Iraq being split into three distinct nations:
a) "Free Kurdistan" in
northern Iraq
b) Sunni Iraq in the south-western
sector
c) Shia or Shi'ite Iraq in the south-eastern
sector, with Basra as the capital
About six weeks before President
Bush ordered the invasion of March 20, 2003, Cutting Edge posted
an article in our Daily News Updates charging that President Bush's
secret plan was to split Iraq into the three nations, which the
map now depicts. Of course, the White House immediately denied
that splitting Iraq into three nations was even contemplated!
Obviously, for the Kurds to receive
this new country -- Free Kurdistan -- both Turkey and Iran are
going to have to relinquish significant territory! Turkey will
be forced to give up some land on her Eastern border with Iraq,
while Iran will have to forfeit some of her land on her Western
border with Iraq. In this past year, since this map was made public,
Turkey's pro-American, pro-Western military has undergone a great
transformation
Turkey will resist giving up territory
to the Kurds the most as she has been fighting the Kurds for decades.
But, now that Russia has joined the United States in calling a
Syrian Peace Conference, the time for redrawing the entire Middle
East Map may be close at hand!

3. West
Virginia follows the trend in Gun Ownership, allowing Concealed
Carry without a permit.
Total gun
confiscation will not be possible until Antichrist is on the scene
and uses the controversial "technological solution"!
NEWS BRIEF: "West
Virginia legalizes concealed carry without a permit",
Fox News, March 8, 2016
"The West Virginia legislature
successfully overturned the veto of Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s
veto on Saturday in a bipartisan effort to enact permitless gun
carry in the state. Beginning June 5, anyone
over age 21 who can legally possess a firearm will be allowed
to carry it concealed on their person without having to obtain
a permit. West Virginia has long allowed permitless open carry
but, like most states, required a permit to carry a concealed
firearm. With the new law the state will become the eighth in
the nation to implement what gun rights activists call 'constitutional
carry'.”
With every new public shooting comes
calls from Liberal activists and their politician mouthpieces
for new Gun Control Laws. And, every time this scenario plays
out, more American realists buy guns and ammunition. Further,
alternate media has done a very good job raising the teaching
of history that no Absolute Dictatorship has ever existed in a
country where private citizens owned their own guns.
Given the fact that over 100 million
Americans own over 300 million guns, how are New World Order leaders
going to ever seize them? The death toll amongst the soldiers
sent to confiscate these private guns is so high as to be prohibitive.
Some estimates of the death toll run as high as 10 million.
High technology from D.A.R.P.A.
may provide the answer.
The
fact is very plain. Just as this Illuminati Card demonstrates,
Gun Control is one of the actions the Illuminati intends to take
in order to implement their New World Order, a.k.a. the Kingdom
of Antichrist.
At some point, the government will
move to neutralize armed citizens and seize their guns. We believe
two factors will allow the Illuminati to successfully remove arms
from the clenched hands of determined American citizens.
1) Troops removing the weapons will
be foreign. The Russian Communist experience under Lenin proved
that national troops cannot be counted upon to be brutal to their
own people. However, foreign troops had no trouble being incredibly
brutal to the citizenry targeted by the Elite for subjugation.
Therefore, the Plan calls for foreign troops to be introduced
to American soil in order to implement the new division of this
country into "Military Patrol Zones" (Read full details
in NEWS2079,
entitled, "President Bush Invents Yet Another Reason He Could
Impose Martial Law Under Military Rule")
2) DARPA is feverishly working on
an implantable chip known as M.M.E.A. -- MULTIPLE MICRO ELECTRODE
ARRAY -- which can make all persons in a particular locality,
like a large city, go to sleep, as long as they had been implanted
with an M.M.E.A. chip. (For full details read
NEWS1875b). Once all people in a city were put to sleep, it
would be easy for foreign troops to enter their property and seize
their guns.
Of course, we know that the implementation
of the "Mark of the Beast" awaits the Tribulation Period,
when the False Religious Prophet forces all mankind to take this
implantable "Mark" (Rev 13:16-18). Thus, gun owners
may not need to fear gun seizure until Antichrist is on the world
scene.
