"Seventy weeks are apportioned for your people and for your holy city, to close the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make propitiation for iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Holy of Holies." (Daniel 9:24) Daniel was such a precious saint to God because Daniel was fervent for God’s move upon the Earth. The big move of God was seeing Israel released from captivity and return to Jerusalem.(Daniel 9:1). He prayed so fervently because it seemed Israel was in no condition to go back to Jerusalem. In his exhaustion, Gabriel came to him and informed him of Gods next big moves upon the Earth. 70 weeks were appointed for the restoration of Israel. 7 weeks or 49 years would occur, and then the temple would be rebuilt. 62 weeks or 434 years would then take place until the Messiah Prince would come to Jerusalem. And that time would be marked by the crucifixion, or cutting off, of Christ. The Jewish people eventually would reject him and crucify him. The last week or seven years is the tribulation period still to come. These are all the years or weeks that God has determined to deal with the people of Israel, and restore them unto himself and his kingdom. Now there is an obvious gap between the 69th week and the 70th week. This was a Mystery to Daniel but it’s known to us as the age of grace. During all these major moves, God is looking for saints like Daniel, that he can call precious which means they are riveted to whatever God is doing. For example, during the 49 years of rebuilding the temple, what should a saint do?! They should live exclusively for the rebuilding of the temple. Now , what is God’s move today? It is the building of his real temple. It is the church the dwelling place of God. God’s move today is that believers Express Christ in anticipation of his coming. The appropriate dwelling place for God on earth today is a fellowship that is filled up with Christ expressing Him. It is so easy in these days to live for ourselves, to focus on our needs, and to become enmeshed with the cares of this life, The Lord is looking for saints, who have given over them selves to live for this Christ, to pray for this expression on the Earth in the church, and in essence to be living for God’s move upon the Earth in this age. These are Overcomers. These are precious saints in these last days. When we see what God’s move is on the earth today, and we live for it and pray for it everything else falls into place. Everything that is happening is happening for the building of God’s habitation. Your frustration, your struggles, your problems, your dead ends., And on and on and on everything is for God’s purpose, which is Christ, expressed in you, and thus in his body locally. Pray for that revelation that we might see what is the fellowship of this mystery called the church. Amen.
