Daniel 9:24-27

Dan. 9:24   “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. ²⁵ “So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. ²⁶ “Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. ²⁷ “And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

Jerusalem

Adonai,

You are the Ancient of days, seated on Your throne in Your holy, heavenly temple, exalted on high, clothed in splendor and majesty. Your sovereignty rules over all. You raise up rulers and You depose them to accomplish Your good will and pleasure. You determine the epochs of time.

You alone have the power to breathe prophecy into existence, and to fulfill it, just as it is written, revealing Your divine nature and eternal power. You direct the hearts of kings like channels of water, directing them wherever You desire. The mind of man plans his ways, but You determine his steps. You cause even what is intended for evil to be used for good. For You cause all things to work together for good, to those who love You, to those called according to Your purpose.

You are the source of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. What can be known is made known by You, the Creator, Author of truth, Revealer and Fulfiller of prophecy. You know the beginning and the end, for You are the Author of both. You are a God of clarity, not confusion. A God of order, not chaos. A God of truth, not illusion. A God of heavenly wisdom, not worldly folly. All who seek You find You when they seek You with all of their hearts.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
