The Supposed Last Week Of The Earth, Part VI

Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city [Jerusalem], to finish and put an end to transgression, to seal up and make full the measure of sin, to purge away and make expiation and reconciliation for sin, to bring in everlasting righteousness (permanent moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) to seal up vision and prophecy and prophet, and to anoint a Holy of Holies. Daniel 9:24


Daniel was also told that prophecies and prophets would be sealed at the end of the seventy weeks. We are told in the Bible that heaven and earth will fade away, but the Word of our Father never will, Mark 13:31. When Jesus returns there will be a thousand years left until the new heaven and the new Jerusalem are brought into being, Revelation 21:2. Don’t you think that we will be talking about this upcoming event, or in other words prophesying about this wonderful event, during Millennial Reign of Christ? So clearly prophecies will not be done away with when Jesus returns, they are however sealed, and what they are sealed with is the Holy Spirit.


"Now He which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." 2 Corinthians 1:21-22


In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:3


In Galatians 2:20 we are told that we are crucified with Christ and never the less we live, yet it is not us who lives, it is Christ in us Who lives. We are told in Colossians 3:3 that we are dead and are life’s are hid with Christ in God. We are shown that we are new creatures in Christ and that all old things have passed away for us, 2 Corinthians 5:17. The Holy Spirit tells us that we are now more than conquerors through Christ, Romans 8:37. Christ is our Father’s anointing and His anointing is the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit has already been given to us and He has already sealed us.
