“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven,’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”” Daniel 9:25-27 (NIV)
Many prophets in the Old Testament predicted our Lord's coming, both the first and second time. Daniel was highly esteemed, and he saw both. His prophecy is connected to the New Testament and the Book of Revelation. One seven is seven years. He saw our Lord being crucified by the end of sixty-two sevens (62 x 7= 434) years. But there is a distant “seven” (seven years) before our Lord’s return. These seven years are the so-called Tribulation in the New Testament. Based on my research, it started when the first seal was broken, and the White Horse with a plague that conquered the whole world appeared. I’m talking in the past tense because it already happened in the Spring of 2020. We discussed this in the Daily Cross, “He Is Coming Back Soon,” based on the events we have observed, our Lord’s birth year in 6 BC (See Daily Cross “6 BC”), and the 2,000 years of wait for His return to revive us (Hosea 6:2) after He left to be with the Father in 27 AD.
This distant “seven” is likely from 2020 to 2027 AD.
Our Lord also quoted Daniel that in the middle of the seven years of Tribulation, the abomination that causes desolation would happen in the Judea region, and the sacrifice and offering would be abolished. Since the above research was done in 2021 after witnessing the events of the White Horse and Revelation 13, I was thinking about what would happen in the Spring of 2022 with the Red Horse, which means war, and also what would happen in the Fall of 2023 in the Judea region because it was precisely the half-time of the Tribulation. Then we saw the war in Ukraine in the Spring of 2022 and the event of Oct. 7, 2023, in Judea and what followed.
Our Lord was right, and He said: “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!” Matthew 24:15-19 (NIV)
I will call tenants to everyone because that’s what we are, and it can help make a better point for today’s Daily Cross. The Good Landlord and His Son are in charge. Some new tenants believe in The Son and the old and new covenant, and some old tenants do not recognize The Son and only follow the old covenant. What about these old tenants who only believe in the Old Testament in the Bible? What do they see at this particular time in history? It may surprise you that they take it more seriously than many new tenants.
The old tenants believe that when the Third Temple is up and running, it will be the dawn of the Messianic Age, and they will meet their Messiah. So, they set up The Temple Institute to prepare everything for constructing the Third Temple. I have watched videos of their enormous work, which includes creating ritual vessels and garments, crafting a golden menorah and other temple furnishings, and training kohanim (priests) to perform Temple duties. They also have five Red Heifers for purification rituals before the construction starts. They created blueprints based on biblical descriptions and wanted to build the temple close to the Temple Mount. The location is the most challenging topic, as we all know the conflict of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount. It is the holy site for another group of tenants, and I will not get into details because I don’t think we have readers from that group of tenants here.
What about the five Red Heifers, then?
“The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: “This is a requirement of the law that the Lord has commanded: Tell the Israelites to bring you a red heifer without defect or blemish and that has never been under a yoke. Give it to Eleazar the priest; it is to be taken outside the camp and slaughtered in his presence. Then Eleazar the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting. While he watches, the heifer is to be burned—its hide, flesh, blood and intestines….……A man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and put them in a ceremonially clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelite community for use in the water of cleansing; it is for purification from sin.” Numbers 19:1-10 (NIV)
In September 2022, five unblemished red heifers, 11 months old, were brought to Israel from Texas. It was big news then because it was a preparation for the third Temple, and the appearance of the five unblemished red heifers was a sign. You can also check it online for this info. These are very rare red heifers that are entirely red, without a single non-red hair, without any physical defects or blemishes, and have never been used and tagged. The odd for the five is 1:250,000. According to the online info, no red heifers have ever been sacrificed in modern history by the old tenants. Only nine red heifers have been sacrificed throughout history for the past 3,500 years. These five unblemished red heifers can be sacrificed anytime during their third year of age after they reach two years and one month. If they have not been sacrificed yet, they must be sacrificed before Sept 2025, or it will pass the fourth year of age limit. This sacrifice and offering is required to build the Third Temple in the tradition of the old tenants.
I found some alternative opinions. Some believed that bringing the Red heifers sparked outrage in the other tenants. The other tenants feared the old tenants would take over and destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount to build their Third Temple. That was why the other tenants started the abomination that caused the desolation event on October 7, 2023, to stop this sacrifice just before the red heifers reached two years and one month old for the offering. I read it online in the official news from the old tenants’ vineyard.
Another sign is the old tenants' concern about the "Curse of the Eighty Years." We discussed this in the Daily Cross, “The Blessed Generation.” Their elders see 2027 as the final year for this particular prophecy since they reopened their vineyard in 1948. These are also verifiable online, and the old tenant's top elders have expressed this concern publicly.
There is also one person of interest in the picture. Daniel said: “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven,’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.“. This person was instrumental in setting up a peace treaty in the area at the start of the seven years of Tribulation. His presence will be noticeable during the final seven.
For me, our Lord is the Third Temple. He said:
“The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” But the temple he had spoken of was his body. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.” John 2:18-20 (NIV)
Our Lord did raise the Third Temple in three days!
Some think they can enforce the prophecy. The truth is The Good Landlord and His Son have everything under control. The Good Landlord and His Son do not need a man-made structure. They have a big mansion and many rooms prepared for you and me. I always say it is free will. You don’t have to agree with me. You can do your own research and pray for wisdom and a heart of discernment. Those who seek will find it.
What is the point of all these?
It has everything to do with the safety and salvation of the disciples of our Lord. The time will come, and it is already here. It is the command of our Lord to interpret the signs, and that’s what I can do: share the signs I know.
Our Lord said:
“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:26-27 (NIV)
Our Lord has warned us of these deadly traps by the enemy. When someone you trust asks you to follow them and they promise you to show you our Lord. But by His grace, you feel something is not quite right, and you suddenly remember Matthew 24:26-27….
What would you do?
