Daniel 12:11 says that from the time the daily is stopped or put aside, there will be 1290 days. Thisword "daily" is "tamiyd" and it simply means "daily" or "continual" - something that happens everyday(daily). Daniel 9:27 tells us that the sacrifice and offering will be stopped. Everyday, people line up atthe Church of the Nativity to bow down at the grotto and offer thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ forcoming to the earth to be a sacrifice for their sins and to give them eternal life. This is a sacrifice ofpraise and offering of thanksgiving being offered to the Lord. On March 22, 2013, this daily sacrificeof praise and offering of thanksgiving was stopped when Mr. Obama came to the grotto and did notoffer thanks to Jesus for what he has done. Rather, Mr. Obama went there to proclaim to God that theworld is now looking to him as the peacemaker and to defy the Lord Jesus Christ. On March 22, 2013,no offering of thanksgiving or sacrifice of praise was made to the Lord from this spot. This happenedexactly 1260 days after Mr. Obama was chosen as the Nobel Peace Prize winner on the 7 th day ofTabernacles. Since Mr. Obama had not done anything up to that point to usher in peace, it must beassumed that the award was being given in the hope that he would become the peacemaker for theworld.26
I am fully aware of the traditional teaching of how the end-times will play out, and also aware thatprobably over 90% of Christians believe a scenario that goes something like this: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Rapture</strong> willhappen. Christians will be taken from the earth. Right after the <strong>Rapture</strong>, a 7-year peace treaty will besigned by the Antichrist and Israel, allowing Israel to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. Animalsacrifices will start daily when this temple is built. In the middle of the 7 years of Tribulation, theAntichrist will ride into Jerusalem (probably on a white horse) and sit in this Temple and tell the worldthat he is God and stop these animal sacrifices. When this happens, the Jewish people need to flee tothe mountains because this is the abomination and desolation will take place. Three and a half yearslater, Jesus will return to earth on a white horse with all the <strong>Rapture</strong>d saints who have been partying inheaven for 7 years. We will then rule and reign with Christ for 1000 years.You know, when Jesus came the first time, people also had pre-conceived ideas of how everythingwould play out. John 7: Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Somesaid, ―He is a good man.‖ Others replied, ―No, he deceives the people.‖ But no one would sayanything publicly about him for fear of the leaders…At that point some of the people ofJerusalem began to ask, ―Isn‘t this the man they are trying to kill? Here he is, speakingpublicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that heis the Messiah? But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one willknow where he is from.‖You see, the Jewish people were expecting a King, like David, who would save them from the Romansand establish Israel as the most powerful nation in the world. After all, their God was the One andOnly true God, and He had chosen Israel to represent Himself to the nations. This Jesus, He wasn’tdoing anything the way they had expected, so they were so confused. And very few believed.Prophecies are rarely, if ever, fulfilled in the way we expect them to be. <strong>The</strong> Lord gets all the glorywhen He fulfills prophecies in a way that no one is expecting. <strong>The</strong> disciples’ eyes were only openedAFTER Jesus had risen from the dead, even though Jesus had told them many times that he would bekilled in Jerusalem and raise from the dead on the third day. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, andforever. Do we really expect that He will do it differently this time? Do we think it will be so obviousthat everyone can see it? No, He will choose to open the eyes of those whom He chooses, those whoare not so set in their preconceived interpretations of the prophecies that they are willing to listen andhear what the Spirit is saying.2 <strong>The</strong>ssalonians 2:3-4 – ―Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that DAY will not comeuntil the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to27
