Allegiance to the King: God’s Perfect Messiah and God’s Perfect (70 week) Plan

Allegiance to the King
Daniel 9:20-27
God’s Perfect Messiah and God’s Perfect (70 Week) Plan

Daniel 9 records Daniel’s prayer of confession for Israel’s sin and his plea for restoration after the 70 years of exile prophesied by Jeremiah. While Daniel was praying, God sent the angel Gabriel to give him a response to his prayer request.

Gabriel gives Daniel, Israel, and us today a blueprint of what is to come in the future in the arrival of the Messiah.

Notice in the text how God spoke to Daniel, what Israel was to be looking forward to in the arrival of the Messiah, and what it means for us today:
