Bible prophecy

This prophecy is in Daniel 9 v 24 to 27.

The first verse tells us what the prophecy is all about:

The Bible twice presents information using this principle:

Numbers 14 verse 34

Before we look at these remarkable predictions, we must emphasise that we are in no way supporting the politics of the nation of Israel. The Bible makes it very clear that the Jews often did not behave in the best of ways. We’re not looking at the rights and wrongs of what the Jews have done or are doing. We’re looking at fulfilments of predictions and not the politics of situations.
