WE WERE READING FROM A LITTLE JEWISH HISTORY BOOK WHEN WE CLOSED OUT THE JULY ISSUE; SO WE WILL JUST BACK UP A LITTLE AND PICK UP THE LAST PARAGRAPH WE READ: AND THEN CONTINUE ON. AS WE DEAL WITH THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL, IT IS NECESSARY THAT WE COME TO A FIXED POINT IN TIME AND AGREE, THIS IS WHERE JESUS WAS CUT OFF (CRUCIFIED). THEREFORE I FEEL THAT THIS LITTLE HISTORY ACCOUNT OF THE CRUCIFIXION HELPS ESTABLISH WHAT I ALREADY BELIEVE; SO LET US CONTINUE READING.

I want us to go back, and instead of leaving the Jews in Babylon and hurrying to the 70 weeks of Daniel, pick up the course the Jews followed and see how the ark of the covenant fit into the picture. We need to see what it symbolized. I touched on certain things earlier, to get certain things in your mind; but now we need to go back to Ezekiel, to the 11th chapter, and familiarize ourselves with the whole setting.

IN THIS MESSAGE WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH DOCTRINE WHICH HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF MANY HEATED DEBATES AND ARGUMENTS DOWN THROUGH THE AGE OF GRACE. THE DOCTRINE OF PREDESTINATION, IF LOOKED AT CORRECTLY, CAN GIVE US A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF THE PLAN OF GOD FOR MANKIND, BUT LIKE EVERY OTHER SCRIPTURAL TRUTH, IT HAS BEEN PERVERTED BY SOME WHO ARE WITHOUT REVELATION SO THAT WE HAVE TWO RIDICULOUS EXTREMES TO COPE WITH, AS WELL AS THE REVELATED STREAM WHICH RUNS RIGHT DOWN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THEM. THE BIBLE TEACHES PREDESTINATION FROM FRONT TO BACK, BUT IT MUST BE KEPT IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S FOREKNOWLEDGE.

THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF DANIEL—ARE THEY TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS LITERAL WEEKS OR A PROPHETIC PERIOD OF TIME WHEREIN GOD HAS DESIGNATED TO USE ISRAEL? HAVE ALL SEVENTY WEEKS REACHED FULFILLMENT, IF NOT WHAT PERIOD IS LEFT REMAINING? WHAT ARE THEIR MR IMPORTANCE? HOW DOES ONE DETERMINE THE BEGINNING POINT FOR THESE SEVENTY WEEKS? WHAT ROLE DID THE REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE PLAY IN THESE WEEKS AND HOW DOES THIS REBUILT TEMPLE DIFFER WITH THE ONE SPOKEN OF IN JOHN 2? WHAT ROLE DID NEHEMIAH PLAY IN THESE WEEKS? THE MESSIAH, WAS HE CUT OFF AT THE CLOSING OF THE 69TH OR 69 1/2 OR FULL 70TH WEEK? THE prince WHO BREAKS THE COVENANT WITH MANY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 70TH WEEK, ARE WE TO UNDERSTAND THIS TO BE THE TRUE CHRIST OR THE ANTI-CHRIST WHO OFFERS PEACE TO ISRAEL? WHAT TWO INDISPUTABLE REASONS MAKES IT TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGURE PROPHETIC TIME BY THE JULIAN CALENDAR? WHAT STARTLING DISCOVERY WAS MADE IN THE 16TH CENTURY BY CHRONOLOGISTS THAT UPSET THE TIME OF THE BIRTH OF CHRIST AND THREW B.C. AND A.D. TIME OFF 4-6 YEARS? HERE IS AN UNFORGETTABLE SUBJECT TO DETERMINE HOW MANY LITERAL YEARS ACTUALLY FELL BETWEEN THE REBUILDING OF THE CITY OF JERUSALEM AND THE CUTTING OFF OF THE MESSIAH. THE DISCOVERY OF TILE YEARS BETWEEN THESE TWO PERIODS WILL INDISPUTABLY DISTINGUISH TILE TRUE PROPHETIC WEEKS USED UNTIL THE TIME OF THE DEATH OF CHRIST.

Rev. James Allen, pastor of Faith Assembly Church, concludes looking at the Third Temple to one day be constructed in Jerusalem in this edition. In this edition, also learn about the Millennium and the rapture of church.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I AM JUST A HUMAN BEING. I HAVE A FRAIL MIND THAT IS JUST AS FORGETFUL AS CAN BE. BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN THE SCRIPTURES, THAT I GO TO BED WITH THEM ON MY MIND, I GET UP WITH THEM ON MY MIND. THEY NEVER LEAVE MY MIND. THEY ARE THERE CONSTANTLY, SO BY THE HELP OF THE LORD, I WANT TO DEAL WITH A LITTLE MESSAGE THAT I WILL TITLE, “SALVATION IS BY FAITH.” PRAY FOR ME.

I WANT TO GO INTO A MESSAGE WE WILL TITLE “LAW V/S GRACE,” BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN VARIOUS GROUPS WHO RECEIVE OUR MESSAGES. NATURALLY WE GENTILES HAVE NEVER LIVED UNDER THE LAW GIVEN TO MOSES, BUT WE DO HAVE RESPECT FOR IT, KNOWING IT EXPRESSES THE MIND OF GOD AS HE WAS DEALING WITH A PEOPLE WHO WERE STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO A DELIVERER. IT SETS FORTH TYPES POINTING TO THE DELIVERER THAT WAS TO COME AND IT ALLOWS US TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY GOD LOOKS AT THE THINGS WE DO, SAY AND ALLOW, BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF DOES NOT CHANGE. HIS STANDARD OF RIGHT AND WRONG, AND OF HOLINESS IN THE LIVES OF BELIEVERS REMAINS THE SAME THROUGHOUT ALL TIME. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF WHETHER WE WILLINGLY DO THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW HE IS PLEASED WITH, OR WHETHER WE ARE SUBJECTED TO A LAW THAT FORCES US TO DO THOSE THINGS. THEREFORE I ASK THAT YOU WOULD LISTEN TO, OR READ THE MESSAGE PRAYERFULLY, AND ALLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO DEAL WITH YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
