HE STOPPED ANIMAL SACRIFICE. The sacrificial ministry of Temple or Tabernacle where offerings are made is over. Never again, will nor can the Lord accept such offerings. To do so would violate His WORD in the worst way. His feelings concerning the re-establishment of sacrifices under the Mosaic Law are very intense and plain. There is no house of worship that can be built unto Him that would satisfy Him. He no longer looks to a structure but to the man of a humble and contrite sprite and that one who honors His Word. A rebuilt Temple where animals were sacrificed is an abomination to Him. Now and until Jesus returns anyone offering an ox is a murderer. The person offering a lamb is like one cutting off a dogs neck. The one bringing of their harvest is offering the blood of a swine. Those burning incense are worshipping idols. The dire warning of the Lord is found here. Because they have chosen to go their owns ways, do their own thing and disregard the will of the Lord. He will do harsh things against them. They rejected His call. Wrought evil in His sight. Choosing that which greatly displeased the Lord. Dare we disregard that which He has declared pertaining to His personal feelings? To renew animal sacrifice would be paramount to trampling under foot the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God. There is just one sacrifice that is acceptable for now and forever. That is the crucified Son of God. There is none other. Isa. 66:1-3
WHO IS <HE>. The word covenant is used over three hundred times in the scriptures, in both, the Old and the New Testament. Only once is it used in reference to any covenant other than the covenant made by God for the benefit of man. Covenant in the Old testament is the Hebrew word; beriyth, covenant, confederacy or league. In the New Testament the Greek word is; diatheke, a contract, a covenant or a testament. The evidence is just a fraction off of one hundred percent
usage of the word, for the covenants of the Lord. Satan is a liar and the Father of all lies. It is not possible for him to create a covenant. If it were possible, he could never keep it. The true and only covenant is that which was confirmed by God in Jesus Christ. The covenant of blood. Heb. 13:20
ONLY THE LORD CAN CREATE AND MAINTAIN A COVENANT. The <HE> of Daniel Nine Twenty-seven can be none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. HE, CHRIST shall CONFIRM, {to be strong, prevail, be valiant or be great}, the covenant. The covenant, made by God, was CONFIRMED, ratified in Jesus Christ. Gal. 3:17 The language of the WORD is sometimes subtle but with the help of the Spirit we can surely understand its meanings. These two words COVENANT and CONFIRM belong to the work and ministry of Jesus, the Son of God and to none other. Jesus came to His own. He ministered to them for three and one half years or one half of a week. He came to the lost sheep of Israel. He confirmed the covenant with many, all who would believe in Him. One half of Daniel’s seventieth week is Judaeo, Christian history.
THE LAST HALF OF DANIELS SEVENTIETH WEEK. This is the portion that waits to be fulfilled in the end of the age. During a period of time designated as < a time, times and the dividing of a time > there will be an ultra world ruler of great power and ability. His amalgamation of nations will embrace the whole world. He is different from anything that has ever been. Three nations will resist him in his take over but they will be defeated. His authority will be absolute. Dan. 7:24 He has a big mouth. He is eloquent, persuasive and an expert at mouthing propaganda. He will persistently blaspheme the Most High God. As much as possible, he will change Holidays (especially religious) and laws (pertaining to religious freedom). Freedom will not exist under his reign. It will be BIG BROTHER PLUS. His anger, in particular will be directed toward THE SAINTS. He will seek to wear {mentally, brain wash} them out. He will have authority over them for the designated period of time. Dan. 7:25 The scripture is telling us that there will be saints who enter into the tribulation period because they did not measure up to the requirements for the bride of Christ. It is an imperative that we commit ourselves to the Lord. Following His Word to the nth degree. Being prepared against the days to come. There is an escape for the qualified.
