The ultimate answer to prayer is the return of Jesus Christ. “Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God,” Daniel 9:20 The prayer Daniel prayed is in verses 1-19 of Daniel 9.

“…yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering.” Daniel 9:21 The answer to prayer comes at the soonest possible hour appropriate, not according to our expectations but according to the plan of God. In fact, Jesus Christ comes back at the end of this world’s system, when lawlessness abounds, and tribulation is in every city around the world. The day ends at midnight and Jesus returns inside of 11:59pm.

Recognizing answer to prayer is to understand God’s plan through Jesus Christ. “And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.” Daniel 9:22 As an answer to Daniel’s prayer, Gabriel was sent to give Daniel an understanding of the plan of God. As followers of Jesus Christ, the answer to our prayers is to understand what God has planned for us and this world through Jesus Christ. In this chapter of Daniel, that plan is revealed.

“At the beginning of your supplications the word went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision:” Daniel 9:23 As soon as we speak the very first word of prayer, the prayer has already been answered. God loves us very much, so He wants us to understand the visions of the Bible and the plan He has for us and the world, and to understand the mission of His Son Jesus Christ.

Our prayers are already heard in the ears of Jesus Christ as written, “Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.”

Jesus Christ prays for us because we don’t know how to pray as we should, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

Revelation 5:8 and also Romans 8:26

The revelation of God’s hand working in the world.

A period of “Seventy weeks” is given for us to get ready for Christ’s return. “Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, 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.” Daniel 9:24

1. “Seventy weeks” relates to the time from when Jesus Christ died on the Cross to make atonement for sin until His return.
2. The period of the atonement for sin (“Seventy weeks), is the window of opportunity to put an end to transgressing against God and to make an end of sins. Transgression is to deny God, to discard Jesus Christ, and to trample on the Holy Spirit.
3. For those “Seventy weeks,” it’s necessary to reconcile to God through Jesus Christ by the remission of sin.
4. When we come to Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, we are given the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the guarantee of eternal life to come and verification of everlasting righteousness.
5. To “seal up vision and prophecy” is the fact that the coming of Jesus fulfilled every prophecy of the Bible concerning the coming Messiah. It is finished. Also, we are seeing end time prophecy being fulfilled with the presence of the global government, the presence of the image of the beast, and the mark of the beast. The global government of the beast operates through the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, and does. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through a person, and people are being synchronized to the mark of the beast.
6. These are the days to anoint the Most Holy, which can only be done through Jesus Christ. We are the temple of the Most Holy, and to anoint the Most Holy is to allow our body to be the home of the Holy Spirit. We are living in the days when the global government wants to make our body the place of the image of the beast, “…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4

Also, during the time of Daniel’s prayer, the Israelites would soon be released from their captivity (within “70 weeks) under the reign of Cyrus. They would need to make everything right with God and return to serving Him as before their captivity.

People are restored to God through Jesus Christ and His followers. “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times.” Daniel 9:25

1. Jesus Christ brought the command to restore humanity to a relationship with God. That happens by the remission of sin which makes our body the home of the Holy Spirit.
2. The Messiah the Prince (Jesus Christ) returns when the command to come to God through Jesus Christ has been completed. In a sense, the “seven weeks” is the ministry of Jesus Christ while He was on the earth, and the “62 weeks” would be the ministry of His Apostles and all of His followers until He comes back. For “sixty-two weeks” the Gospel of Christ is shared on this earth.
3. The Gospel Street has been built by the testimony of Jesus Christ and the wall has been built against sin and rebellion against God.
4. The Gospel of Jesus Christ continues to be shared even in these troublesome times. These are times when the existence of God is blasphemed, the need for Jesus Christ is discarded, and the Holy Spirit trampled on.

Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the first temple of God, and the second temple was built after he was dethroned. The second Temple of God was rebuilt after Daniel but was built through troublesome times. It started with grassroots violence against the builders to the point where the builders had to set up armed guards to continue the building (Nehemiah 4). There was also Opposition to rebuilding the Temple of God involving infiltrating the ranks of the builders to sabotage the construction. Legal channels were also used to protest against the construction and letters were sent to the governor to protest (Ezra chapter four, with a copy of the letter). The builders also secured a legal letter from the governor verifying the right to rebuild the temple (the whole letter is copied in Ezra chapter 5).

The sanctuary of God is being destroyed by the “people of the prince.” “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined.” Daniel 9:26

1. The Messiah, Jesus Christ, was cut off when the New Global Order was established immediately after WW2 (as described in Daniel 8). It brought the thing which forms what a person thinks, feels, says and does to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through people. It synchronizes people to the mark of the beast. For “sixty-two weeks,” from the time of the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ up to WW2 (about 20o0 years), the Gospel was free to spread around the world.
2. The “prince” is the beast who establishes the global government of the beast. The “people of the prince” are the masses around the world who allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them.
3. The “people of the prince” are worldwide and destroying the city of Jerusalem (Israel) by protesting against the government of the State of Israel. Even the Israeli citizens themselves are rioting against their own government. Not to mention the laws passed against the government of Israel in the United Nations, and the hostilities facing the State of Israel from countries in the Middle East. On top of that, the United States will not stand with the State of Israel against the agenda of the global government. However, the USA does stand with the “democratic” Israeli rioters who allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them.
   
   The “people of the prince” are destroying the sanctuary of God, the human body. They are doing that by embracing the thing that forms what they think, feel, and do to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They have no need for the human spirit which mixes with the Spirit of Christ. As written, “…he opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that it is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click for a post on the “man of sin”.
   
   The masses around the world deny the existence of God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and trample on the Holy Spirit. That’s obvious by all the protests and riots around the world demanding their “democratic” rights, which brings conformity to the agenda of the global “democratic” society of the beast. In America, the Gospel of Christ is no longer in the churches, it’s obvious by the laws being approved that the government has tossed out Christianity, the educational system has tossed aside the teachings of the Bible etc.

The abomination that makes desolate fills the world. “Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.” Daniel 9:27

1. The “prince” confirms a peace treaty for many people for a very short time. This is the global government of the beast making promises to create a “honeymoon” period with people and nations around the world. Nothing they say can be taken at face value, for example, the killing of the unborn in called, “Reproductive Rights,” the promotion of the LGBQT+ community is done through the, “Respect for Marriage Act,” and the elimination of Christianity is done through the “democratic” society.
2. The “prince” betrays those who entered into a treaty with it half-way through the terms of the contract agreement. It would be like tumultuously ending a relationship with a spouse half-way through the honeymoon. In other words, once the global government has everyone signed onto its global constitution, and it gets everything it wants relating to power and authority, it begins its betrayals.
   
   Presently the United Nations is promoting itself to be everything everybody could ever want. It even promotes interfaith holidays and collaboration, including Christianity. However, we know that the United Nations intends to be the cure all for religious and political boundaries through the empowerment of the entity giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. In fact, this entity is the one that exalts itself above every political party, every religion, etc., This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click for a post on the “man of sin”
   
   The true colors of the “prince” are already showing in nations around the world as belief in God is scoffed at, the Gospel of Christ is thrown to the ground, and the Holy Spirit is stepped on.
3. On the wing of abominations will be one which makes completely desolate. An abomination is an intense dislike, disgust, or hatred for something. That abomination is against belief in God, and it completely desolates the Spirit of Christ. It hates Jesus Christ because He brings the remission of sin to make us the home of the Holy Spirit. By making the human soul desolate of the Spirit of Christ, it is able to make the human body the home of the entity giving people their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors.
   
   Instead of acknowledging the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, the world government and its global culture considers everything to be human instincts and incurable. They embrace humanism which is the fig leaf worn by those who serve the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say. Humanism is “...an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.”
   
   The faith of the global culture for bringing an earthly Garden of Eden is in the entity that has power over physiology to be able to give people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity enables the image of the beast to speak and live through people as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. They detest the human spirit and conscience and intends to desolate the Spirit of Christ. Spiritual faith and belief are disgusting to the masses of the global culture, and they are filled with hatred and despise towards the Gospel of Christ.
