THE MAN-CHILD, FIRST-FRUITS, OFFERING

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” [Matthew 24:21] This Great Tribulation is within a 7 year Period in the last days which immediately precedes Jesus Christ, the Messiah’s Return to Earth to take possession of His Kingdom here and restore Israel to glory. This time frame comes from Daniel having “understood by books the number of years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.” That 70 years’ judgment of God on Israel was nearly complete when Daniel humbly and fervently contemplated Israel’s restoration, for which God gave him “…skill and understanding”. But the visions were not only of the limited restoration, but of the last days’ great restoration, with its players and events. They touched on the Messiah’s first Coming, and skipped over 2000 years until His Second Coming, with Israel’s complete restoration following. This is specifically to be understood in 70 weeks of seven years each, and that after the last 7 year period, with the determined desolation, then only would Israel finally be restored in earthly preeminence. (Daniel 9:2,22,24)

That last 7 year period, wherein is desolation, starts with a covenant or pact between Israel and the great influential End Time prince discovered later to be the Anti-Christ. He is seen in Daniel 9:27 & 12:11. “And he (the last days’ prince) shall confirm the (7 year) covenant…” This prophetic word of that last days’ covenant with this prince/beast is in harmony with Isaiah’s prophetic word, “Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people (in the last days) which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; (a pact with those who are supernaturally connected with Death and Hades, as they come up from Hades/the bottomless pit) when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.…” [Isaiah 28:14-15] Now returning again and finishing Daniel 9:27… “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.…” Christ says the last days’ great tribulation like never before then comes on Jerusalem. This is in the midst, that is to say 3 ½ years from the beginning of the covenant, and will last 3 ½ years, which corresponds with Revelation 11:1-2. “And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles (Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled Luke 21:24): and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months (3½ yrs).”

Daniel’s prophecies lay the groundwork for all Scriptural last days’ prophetic understanding. As Jesus confirms in that same discourse of Matthew 24 in the signs of His Return, He refers to Daniel’s recording of the last days event… “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of (or leading to desolation (destruction), spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place…” [Matthew 24:15] Abomination followed by destruction on Jerusalem is a signal of His imminent Return. Scripture repeatedly establishes this event occurring at the 3 ½ year period of Daniel’s last 7year period. The Book of Revelation expounds that last 7 year period from the 4th Chapter to the first of the 20th Chapter. And as Daniel defines that period as two 3 ½ year time frames divided by the prince’s breaking of that covenant, so John, being of the same Spirit, amplifies it, in that he connects the first 3 ½ years with the ministry of the Two Prophets. “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.” (3 1/2 years) So it will be that when the covenant prince/anti-Christ emerges and breaks the covenant, he kills the Two Witnesses. “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them...
