Daniel 9
The Bible gives us a countdown to Armageddon which takes place, of course, in the valley of Megiddo, in the Holy Land, the land of Israel. It has to do with the nation of Israel.
Today, I want to give you some background about the nation of Israel, why the nation of Israel is important.

But Daniel knew better from what God had promised to Abraham, what God had promised to Isaac and Jacob, what God had promised to David, the great king of Israel. He knew that God had promised an everlasting kingdom. He knew that God had promised a great Messiah who would come and deliver the people.
So, in this prayer, he very eloquently and passionately pleads with God to reveal to him what is going to be in the last days.

Daniel 9:24 – Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make and end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophe ...
