Chapter 9 The Prediction of Christ’s First and Second Coming
“This is what the Lord says, When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my gracious promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” Jeremiah 29:10-11
Lesson 1: God has great timing
“The Lord, the God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone of his people among you—may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.” 2 Chronicles 36:232
Nehemiah lead the people in rebuilding the wall in a miraculous 56 days, but rebuilding the entire city continued for a full 49 years 7 X 7 = 49
Notice: 457 B.C. to 408 B.C. = 49 years or “seven sevens” (7 X 7)
The great timing continues as Gabriel says in Daniel 9:25-26 62 X 7 = 434 The streets of Jerusalem were completed by 408 B.C. 434 years from 408 B.C. is 27 A.D. –which is the exact time Jesus began his public ministry
