              Session #7 - The 70-Weeks Prophecy- Bible Verse Hand Book 
              
            
            Session 7 The 70-Weeks Prophecy of Daniel 9:24—Six 
              Promises  
             I. OUTLINE OF DANIEL 9:1-27  
            A. Daniel’s intercessory prayer  
            1. The setting of the vision  
            1In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes (a Mede by descent), 
              who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom— 2 in the first 
              year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according 
              to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the 
              desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. (Dan. 
              9:1-2) 
            2. Daniel set his heart to seek God  
            3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and 
              petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. (Dan. 
              9:3) 
            3. Daniel’s intercessory prayer  
            4 I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed: 
            “Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant 
              of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 5 we 
              have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; 
              we have turned away from your commands and laws. 6 We have not listened 
              to your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, 
              our princes and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land. 
            7 “Lord, you are righteous, but this day we are covered with 
              shame—the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
              and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you 
              have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to you. 8 We and 
              our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, 
              LORD, because we have sinned against you. 9 The Lord our God is 
              merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; 
              10 we have not obeyed the LORD our God or kept the laws he gave 
              us through his servants the prophets. 11 All Israel has transgressed 
              your law and turned away, refusing to obey you. 
              “Therefore the curses and sworn judgments written in the Law 
              of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because 
              we have sinned against you. 12 You have fulfilled the words spoken 
              against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great disaster. 
              Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like what has 
              been done to Jerusalem. 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, 
              all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor 
              of the LORD our God by turning from our sins and giving attention 
              to your truth. 14 The LORD did not hesitate to bring the disaster 
              on us, for the LORD our God is righteous in everything he does; 
              yet we have not obeyed him. 
            15 “Now, Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt 
              with a mighty hand and who made for yourself a name that endures 
              to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. 16 Lord, in keeping 
              with all your righteous acts, turn away your anger and your wrath 
              from Jerusalem, your city, your holy hill. Our sins and the iniquities 
              of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an object of 
              scorn to all those around us. 
            17 “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your 
              servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. 
              18 Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation 
              of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you 
              because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. 19 Lord, 
              listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your sake, my God, 
              do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.” 
              (Dan. 9:4-19)  
            B. Gabriel visited Daniel  
            20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the 
              sin of my people Israel and making my request to the LORD my God 
              for his holy hill— 21 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, 
              the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight 
              about the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 He instructed me and 
              said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and 
              understanding. 23 As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, 
              which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, 
              consider the word and understand the vision: (Dan. 9:20-23) 
               
            C. The 70-weeks prophecy  
            1.Israel’s salvation and restoration: six glorious 
              promises   
            24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people 
              and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, 
              to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, 
              to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place. 
              (Dan. 9:24) 
            2. Events during the 69 weeks: Messiah came after Jerusalem 
              was restored 
            25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes 
              out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the 
              ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two 
              ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, 
              but in times of trouble. (Dan. 9:25) 
            3. Events after the 69 weeks: Messiah was killed and Jerusalem 
              was destroyed  
            26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will 
              be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who 
              will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will 
              come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations 
              have been decreed. . (Dan. 9:26) 
            4. Events during the 70th week: the Antichrist, his covenant, 
              and the Great Tribulation  
            27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ 
              In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice 
              and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that 
              causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on 
              him. (Dan. 9:27) 
            II. INTRODUCTION  
            Daniel had been studying Jeremiah’s prophecy that 
              Jerusalem would be desolate for 70 years and then restored  
            11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these 
              nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 
              12 “But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish 
              the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians,for 
              their guilt,” declares the LORD, “and will make it desolate 
              forever. (Jer. 25:11-12) 
            10 This is what the LORD says: “When seventy years are completed 
              for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring 
              you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” 
              declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, 
              plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me 
              and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek 
              me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be 
              found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you 
              back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and 
              places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and 
              will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” 
              (Jer. 29:10-14) 
            23 Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, 
              the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them 
              into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire. 
             
            28 “Take another scroll and write on it all the words that 
              were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up. 
              (Jer. 36:23, 28) 
            Seventy years:  
            10After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you 
              and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to 
              this place [Jerusalem]…12You will call upon Me and go and 
              pray to Me…13You will seek Me and find Me, when you search 
              for Me with all your heart…14I will bring you back from captivity… 
              (Jer. 29:10-14)  
            Prayer:  
            Daniel knew Isaiah’s prophecy about Cyrus, who would 
              help restore Jerusalem. Cyrus, the king of Persia, had just conquered 
              Babylon in 539 BC. 
            28 who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd 
              and will accomplish all that I please; 
              he will say of Jerusalem, “Let it be rebuilt,” 
              and of the temple, “Let its foundations be laid.”’ 
              (Isa. 44:28) 
            1“This is what the LORD says to his anointed, 
              to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of 
              to subdue nations before him 
              and to strip kings of their armor, 
              to open doors before him 
              so that gates will not be shut: 
              2 I will go before you 
              and will level the mountains; 
              I will break down gates of bronze 
              and cut through bars of iron. 
              3 I will give you hidden treasures, 
              riches stored in secret places, 
              so that you may know that I am the LORD, 
              the God of Israel, who summons you by name. 
              4 For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, 
              I summon you by name 
              and bestow on you a title of honor, 
              though you do not acknowledge me. 
              5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; 
              apart from me there is no God. 
              I will strengthen you, 
              though you have not acknowledged me, 
              6 so that from the rising of the sun 
              to the place of its setting 
              people may know there is none besides me. 
              I am the LORD, and there is no other. 
              7 I form the light and create darkness, 
              I bring prosperity and create disaster; 
              I, the LORD, do all these things. (Isa. 45:1-7) 
            III. GABRIEL: THE CALL TO SEEK UNDERSTANDING (DAN. 9:21-23) 
               
            Gabriel appeared to Daniel twice 
            16 And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, 
              tell this man the meaning of the vision.” (Dan. 8:16) 
            “The man Gabriel” indicates that he appeared in a human 
              form. The evening offering would have been at 3pm, so devout Jews 
              prayed then (Dan. 9:21) 
            21While I was speaking in prayer…Gabriel…22said, “O 
              Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.23…consider 
              the matter, and understand the vision.”   (Dan. 9:21-23) 
               
            Consider:  
            The need to seek understanding was emphasized in each of 
              Daniel’s four visions  
            16 I approached one of those standing there and asked him the meaning 
              of all this. 
              “So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: 
              19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning of the fourth beast, 
              which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with 
              its iron teeth and bronze claws—the beast that crushed and 
              devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. (Dan. 
              7:16, 19) 
            15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand 
              it, there before me stood one who looked like a man.  
              17 As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified 
              and fell prostrate. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand 
              that the vision concerns the time of the end.”  (Dan. 
              8:15, 17) 
            3 So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and 
              petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.  
            22 He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come 
              to give you insight and understanding. 23 As soon as you began to 
              pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are 
              highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the 
              vision:  
            25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes 
              out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[f] 
              the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and 
              sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets 
              and a trench, but in times of trouble.  (Dan. 9:3, 22-23, 
              25) 
             3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I 
              used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over.  
            10 A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. 
              11 He said, “Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider 
              carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for 
              I have now been sent to you.” And when he said this to me, 
              I stood up trembling. 
              12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the 
              first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble 
              yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come 
              in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted 
              me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came 
              to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 
              14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people 
              in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.”  
              (Dan. 10:3, 10-14) 
            33 “Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time 
              they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. 
             
             35 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, 
              purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will 
              still come at the appointed time. (Dan. 11:33, 35) 
             4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll 
              until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase 
              knowledge.”   
            8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, 
              what will the outcome of all this be?” 
              9 He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are 
              rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be 
              purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue 
              to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who 
              are wise will understand. (Dan. 12:4, 8-10) 
            IV. THE CERTAIN TRIUMPH OF THE MESSIAH (DAN. 7:13-14)  
            In Daniel’s first vision he saw the Messiah ruling 
              the world in the Millennium 
            13“Behold, One like the Son of Man [Jesus], coming with the 
              clouds of heaven! … 14Then to Him was given dominion and glory 
              and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve 
              Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion…” (Dan. 
              7:13-14)  
            The Millennium is a 1,000-year period in which Jesus will 
              rule this world in righteousness. 
            1 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key 
              to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2 He seized 
              the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and 
              bound him for a thousand years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and 
              locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations 
              anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must 
              be set free for a short time. 
              4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority 
              to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because 
              of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They 
              had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its 
              mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned 
              with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not 
              come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is 
              the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in 
              the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, 
              but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with 
              him for a thousand years. (Rev. 20:1-6) 
            1This is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: 
              2 In the last days 
              the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established 
              as the highest of the mountains; 
              it will be exalted above the hills, 
              and all nations will stream to it. 
              3 Many peoples will come and say, 
              “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, 
              to the temple of the God of Jacob. 
              He will teach us his ways, 
              so that we may walk in his paths.” 
              The law will go out from Zion, 
              the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 
              4 He will judge between the nations 
              and will settle disputes for many peoples. 
              They will beat their swords into plowshares 
              and their spears into pruning hooks. 
              Nation will not take up sword against nation, 
              nor will they train for war anymore. (Isa. 2:1-4) 
            6For to us a child is born, 
              to us a son is given, 
              and the government will be on his shoulders. 
              And he will be called 
              Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, 
              Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 
              7 Of the greatness of his government and peace 
              there will be no end. 
              He will reign on David’s throne 
              and over his kingdom, 
              establishing and upholding it 
              with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. 
              The zeal of the LORD Almighty 
              will accomplish this. 
              8 The Lord has sent a message against Jacob; 
              it will fall on Israel. 
              9 All the people will know it— 
              Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria— 
              who say with pride 
              and arrogance of heart, (Isa. 9:6-9) 
            1A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; 
              from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. 
              2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— 
              the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, 
              the Spirit of counsel and of might, 
              the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD— 
              3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. 
              He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, 
              or decide by what he hears with his ears; 
              4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, 
              with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. 
              He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; 
              with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. 
              5 Righteousness will be his belt 
              and faithfulness the sash around his waist. 
              6 The wolf will live with the lamb, 
              the leopard will lie down with the goat, 
              the calf and the lion and the yearling together; 
              and a little child will lead them. 
              7 The cow will feed with the bear, 
              their young will lie down together, 
              and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 
              8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den, 
              and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. 
              9 They will neither harm nor destroy 
              on all my holy mountain, 
              for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD 
              as the waters cover the sea. 
              10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the 
              peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will 
              be glorious. 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second 
              time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, 
              from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, 
              from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean. 
              12 He will raise a banner for the nations 
              and gather the exiles of Israel; 
              he will assemble the scattered people of Judah 
              from the four quarters of the earth. 
              13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish, 
              and Judah’s enemies will be destroyed; 
              Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, 
              nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. 
              14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia to the west; 
              together they will plunder the people to the east. 
              They will subdue Edom and Moab, 
              and the Ammonites will be subject to them. 
              15 The LORD will dry up 
              the gulf of the Egyptian sea; 
              with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand 
              over the Euphrates River. 
              He will break it up into seven streams 
              so that anyone can cross over in sandals. 
              16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people 
              that is left from Assyria, 
              as there was for Israel 
              when they came up from Egypt. (Isa. 11:1-16) 
            “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness 
              and who seek the LORD: 
              Look to the rock from which you were cut 
              and to the quarry from which you were hewn; 
              2 look to Abraham, your father, 
              and to Sarah, who gave you birth. 
              When I called him he was only one man, 
              and I blessed him and made him many. 
              3 The LORD will surely comfort Zion 
              and will look with compassion on all her ruins; 
              he will make her deserts like Eden, 
              her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. 
              Joy and gladness will be found in her, 
              thanksgiving and the sound of singing. 
              4 “Listen to me, my people; 
              hear me, my nation: 
              Instruction will go out from me; 
              my justice will become a light to the nations. 
              5 My righteousness draws near speedily, 
              my salvation is on the way, 
              and my arm will bring justice to the nations. 
              The islands will look to me 
              and wait in hope for my arm. 
              6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, 
              look at the earth beneath; 
              the heavens will vanish like smoke, 
              the earth will wear out like a garment 
              and its inhabitants die like flies. 
              But my salvation will last forever, 
              my righteousness will never fail. 
              7 “Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have 
              taken my instruction to heart: 
              Do not fear the reproach of mere mortals or be terrified by their 
              insults. 
              8 For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour 
              them like wool. 
              But my righteousness will last forever, my salvation through all 
              generations.” (Isa. 51:1-8) 
            17 “See, I will create 
              new heavens and a new earth. 
              The former things will not be remembered, 
              nor will they come to mind. 
              18 But be glad and rejoice forever 
              in what I will create, 
              for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight 
              and its people a joy. 
              19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem 
              and take delight in my people; 
              the sound of weeping and of crying 
              will be heard in it no more. 
              20 “Never again will there be in it 
              an infant who lives but a few days, 
              or an old man who does not live out his years; 
              the one who dies at a hundred 
              will be thought a mere child; 
              the one who fails to reach a hundred 
              will be considered accursed. 
              21 They will build houses and dwell in them; 
              they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 
              22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, 
              or plant and others eat. 
              For as the days of a tree, 
              so will be the days of my people; 
              my chosen ones will long enjoy 
              the work of their hands. 
              23 They will not labor in vain, 
              nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; 
              for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, 
              they and their descendants with them. 
              24 Before they call I will answer; 
              while they are still speaking I will hear. 
              25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, 
              and the lion will eat straw like the ox, 
              and dust will be the serpent’s food. 
              They will neither harm nor destroy 
              on all my holy mountain,” 
              says the LORD. (Isa. 65:17-25) 
            28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal 
              of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, 
              you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging 
              the twelve tribes of Israel. (Mt. 19:28) 
            6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are 
              you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 
              (Acts 1:6) 
            21 Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore 
              everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. (Acts 
              3:21) 
            V. GOD’S SOVEREIGN 70-WEEK PLAN: 490 YEARS  
            21 Then all your people will be righteous 
              and they will possess the land forever. 
              They are the shoot I have planted, 
              the work of my hands, 
              for the display of my splendor. (Isa. 60:21) 
            24“Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your 
              holy city [Jerusalem]…” (Dan. 9:24) 
               
            VI. GABRIEL DECLARED SIX PROMISES (DAN. 9:24) 
            Gabriel revealed that 70 weeks, or 490 years, were determined 
              by God to prepare Israel to receive salvation and to walk in her 
              leadership calling over the nations  
            2 In the last days 
              the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established 
              as the highest of the mountains; 
              it will be exalted above the hills, 
              and all nations will stream to it. 
              3 Many peoples will come and say, 
              “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, 
              to the temple of the God of Jacob. 
              He will teach us his ways, 
              so that we may walk in his paths.” 
              The law will go out from Zion, 
              the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 
              4 He will judge between the nations 
              and will settle disputes for many peoples. 
              They will beat their swords into plowshares 
              and their spears into pruning hooks. 
              Nation will not take up sword against nation, 
              nor will they train for war anymore. (Isa. 2:2-4) 
            24“Seventy weeks [490 years] are determined for 
              your people and for your holy city [Jerusalem], to finish 
              the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation 
              for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up 
              vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.” (Dan. 
              9:24)  
            To finish the transgression:  
            17 But Israel will be saved by the LORD 
              with an everlasting salvation; 
              you will never be put to shame or disgraced, 
              to ages everlasting.  
            25 But all the descendants of Israel 
              will find deliverance in the LORD 
              and will make their boast in him. (Isa. 45:17, 25) 
            26So all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer 
              [Jesus] will come out of Zion…” (Rom. 11:26) 
            4I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely, for My 
              anger has turned away…   (Hos. 14:4) 
            To make an end of sins:  
            21“Your people shall all be righteous; they shall inherit 
              the land forever…” (Isa. 60:21)  
            20 On that day HOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bells 
              of the horses, and the cooking pots in the LORD’s house will 
              be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in 
              Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the LORD Almighty, and all who 
              come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And 
              on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite[c] in the house 
              of the LORD Almighty. (Zech. 14:20-21) 
            To make reconciliation for iniquity:  
            14If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, 
              and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then 
              I will…forgive their sin and heal their land.   (2 Chr. 
              7:14) 
            2“In that day…I will also cause…the unclean spirit 
              to depart from the land.”  
              (Zech. 13:2) 
            To bring in everlasting righteousness:  
            2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— 
              the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, 
              the Spirit of counsel and of might, 
              the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD— 
              3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. 
              He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, 
              or decide by what he hears with his ears; 
              4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, 
              with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. 
              He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; 
              with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. 
              5 Righteousness will be his belt 
              and faithfulness the sash around his waist. (Isa. 11:2-5) 
            5“A King shall reign…and execute judgment and righteousness 
              in the earth…” (Jer. 23:5) 
            15 “‘In those days and at that time 
              I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David’s line; 
              he will do what is just and right in the land. 
              16 In those days Judah will be saved 
              and Jerusalem will live in safety. 
              This is the name by which it will be called: 
              The LORD Our Righteous Savior.’ 
            17 For this is what the LORD says: ‘David will never fail 
              to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical 
              priests ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to 
              offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.’” 
              (Jer. 33:15-18) 
            13We…look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness 
              dwells. (2 Pet. 3:13)  
            13“The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness and 
              speak no lies…” (Zeph. 3:13)  
            To seal up vision and prophecy:  
            Peter spoke of “the times of restoration of all things” 
             
            21…whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration 
              of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy 
              prophets since the world began. (Acts 3:21) 
            16Bind up the testimony,seal the law among my disciples. 
              (Isa. 8:16) 
            12 “Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre 
              and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: 
              “‘You were the seal of perfection, 
              full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. (Ezek. 28:12) 
            12“Behold, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! From His place 
              He shall branch out, and He shall build the temple of the LORD…” 
              (Zech. 6:12) 
            The Millennial Temple:  
            5…behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple… 
              7And He [Jesus] said to me, “…this is the place 
              of My throne…where I will dwell in the midst of…Israel 
              forever.” (Ezek. 43: 5-7)  
               
              14“The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory 
              of the LORD…” (Hab. 2:14)  
            2…the LORD will arise over you [Jerusalem], and His glory 
              will be seen upon you.3The Gentiles [nations] shall come 
              to your light… (Isa. 60:2-3)  
            5At this present time there is a remnant…25blindness in part 
              has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come 
              in. 26And so all Israel will be saved...  
              (Rom. 11:5, 25-26)
