Daniel 9:25-26
In our last lesson we had this same outline but I gave you all the introduction and preparation for what we are going to study today. That's why, again, we have this outline on Countdown to Armageddon because we didn't' actually get to the outline last week.
We looked mainly at verse 24 and there are several things that I saw in this verse that we needed to consider before we consider this countdown.
A countdown has to do with a time period. When we launch a space shuttle, they have a countdown. It has to do with that period of time leading up to the zero time when the launch will be made.

A period of time of seventy weeks, which are seven years, would be four hundred ninety years. We begin with 490 years and we count down from 490 down to year zero and Armageddon is going to take place. It is very clear.
We saw the period involved. We also saw the place involved and that is Israel and more s ...
