John observes that many people, preoccupied with their own view of end times, have unfortunately imported difficulty into these verses that was not intended by the Lord when speaking with the prophet Daniel. John Alley’s message begins with an overview of Daniel Chapter 9:24-27, before focusing on verse 24 in particular.
Oh, and did I mention this prophecy is wrapped in an exact timeframe so your people can know when all this is going to go down? Amazing! But then this promise turns dark, tainted by war, desolation and the end of all you’ve ever known. Imagine being visited by an angel and receiving a promise foretelling a future king who would liberate your people and usher in an entirely new kingdom-a new way of life-free from the crushing burden of sin, shame and guilt.
