Today the threat of Nuclear
and biological war seem more real then ever before. Will there be peace in our day? Can we know the future ?
|
|
Over 2500 years ago an
amazing prophecy was revealed to a Hebrew captive named Daniel in the land of
Babylon. God revealed thru the angel Gabriel the blueprints of today events. This prophecy is known as “The 70 weeks of
Daniel”.
|
|
Gabriel revealed to Daniel
how his people the Jewish People and his holy city Jerusalem would be focus
of world attention in the last days.
|
|
He revealed to Daniel that
the Jewish temple destroyed by Babylon would be rebuilt, and the coming Messiah would be rejected, following the
rejection of Messiah the rebuilt Temple would be destroyed. Then after time a
“World leader” would make a peace agreement with Israel and the world to
allow the building of a future Temple. This temple and events surrounding it
would usher in the end of the age.

|
As we move forward in time
this 35 acres of land known as the Temple mount or Mt. Moriah will become the focus of
world attention. On this spot 4000 years ago Abraham in a test of faith
would offer his son Issac as a sacrifice. One thousand years later Abraham’s
descendent, King David would purchase this spot for a future Jewish Temple.
Solomon, David’s son, would build The
Temple for the God of Israel.
|
|
|
|
Today this spot is occupied
by a building built in 1300 years ago
known as the “Dome of the Rock”. This
location Mt. Moriah is the third most
holy spot for the Islamic faith and their 1.3 billion followers. From this location the Muslims believe
Mohammed ascended into Heaven.
|
|
On the Temple Mount, Mt.
Moriah, Daniel was told by Gabriel a
future Jewish Temple would usher in the end of the age.

|
The key to understanding the
future is understanding Daniel’s 70 Weeks.
