DISCOVER THE BIBLICAL PATTERN SURROUNDING CYRUS-TRUMP AND THE PREDICTIONS MADE BY PROPHETS A YEAR BEFORE HIS

SURPRISING ELECTION VICTORY.

Donald Trump’s election shocked the world, but there were a handful of voices who boldly stepped out and risked their reputation to say what they saw coming. None put more on the line as a voice in the wilderness than Lance Wallnau. At the height of the “Access Hollywood” scandal, just weeks before the election, Lance doubled down and explained to 3.5 million people how the devastating update was serving God’s purpose to humble the candidate before being promoted to the Presidency. His book “God’s Chaos Candidate” – released 7 weeks before the election - became an instant Best Seller describing in detail the current crisis in America’s unravelling and Donald Trump’s role as a modern-day Cyrus to fix it.

Understanding This Moment America has been on an accelerated decline, like a vehicle careening over a cliff. This unravelling has been conspicuous to Christians for the last two decades. Oddly enough this loss of ground occurred at the same time that many ministries experienced growth. What happened? While we sought revival and talked about a Great Awakening the Progressive Left aggressively and successfully discipled America through college classrooms (43% of professors are Marxist) news media, entertainment, legislation and judicial and political activism. The church focused on spiritual activity and they focused on the pragmatic takeover of institutions. This sustained pattern of public persuasion combined with well funded coordinated activism produced a dominant alternative worldview that unraveled the foundations of Western civilization. In a word, they were smarter and more committed to persuading people than we were. I remember the moment all this came into clarity for me. It was on February 18, 2017, I was speaking in Colorado Springs at an event hosted by my friend, Lou Engle. It was billed as a Daniel 2:22 conference. Lou promised it would be a unique event, saying: “This is more than a conference. It is a summit of divine intelligence to hear the Lord release divine strategy on where to go from here. We need prayer fires to burn with divine intelligence like never before in a new day of justice and revival in America.” A DIVINE PATTERN EMERGED BEFORE MY EYES As I stood on Lou’s platform it came to me like a heavenly download. God’s “divine strategy,” when unfolded, would follow a Biblical pattern laid out in the journey of Israel and a ruler named Cyrus. This pattern involves five stages – and we’ve already hit the halfway point! But, before I talk about the future let’s take a look at what I’ve said so far. In 2015 I published 11 predictions about Trump…

Page 7: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

Prediction Number 1: The 45th President of the United States will be an Isaiah 45 ruler “The 45th President of the United States will be an Isaiah 45 ruler and he will be likened to King ‘Cyrus.’ I believe the only person that fits this description is Donald Trump.” – Lance Wallnau

After Donald Trump made his surprising announcement about moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, liberal magazines, “Vox,” “Salon,” and “The Daily Beast’ were making fun of the “Cyrus Trump” prediction. That ended when the Jerusalem Sanhedrin minted a Trump-Cyrus coin in celebration the U.S. Embassy move. Donald Trump's profile is superimposed over King Cyrus on one side and the third temple on the other. It's called the “temple coin.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke at the White house: “I want to tell you that the Jewish people have a long memory, so we remember the proclamation of the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in Babylon can come back and rebuild our temple in Jerusalem.”

“And we remember how a few weeks ago, President Donald J. Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital,” Netanyahu continued. “Mr. President, this will be remembered by our people through the ages.”

Page 8: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

Both Cyrus and Trump made decrees that coincided with the cycle of 70’s that scripture so often employs with regard to Israel. Isaiah prophesied 100 years before Cyrus was born and called him by name. Another Prophet, Jeremiah prophesied 70 years of Babylonian domination of the Jewish people (Jeremiah 29:10). Cyrus stepped into history right on schedule and inaugurated the end of that 70-year era with a single proclamation. Note the curious phenomena of the 70-year cycles. On May 14, 1948, the independent state of Israel was proclaimed as British rule came to an end. 70 Years later Donald Trump decreed an end to the debate over Jerusalem’s status as capital of Israel and moved the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In the Bible a matter is especially confirmed when repeated. When Joseph understood that Pharaoh’s dream was doubled he said: “And the doubling of Pharaoh’s dream means that the thing is fixed by God…” (Gen 41:32) This applies to Cyrus Trump. On March 21, 2019 Donald Trump reversed decades of U.S. policy Thursday by endorsing permanent Israeli control of the disputed Golan Heights, saying the area seized from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war is “of critical strategic and security

Page 9: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

importance” to Israel. It puts the United States at odds with most U.S. allies and the United Nations.

The Israeli leader referred to Trump as "my dear friend Donald," and likened him to leaders of the past.

"In the long sweep of Jewish history there have been a handful of proclamations by non-Jewish leaders on behalf of our people and our land. Cyrus the Great, Lord Balfour, President Harry S. Truman, and President Donald J. Trump," Netanyahu said.

There it is. A two-fold witness.

Prediction Number 2: The Wrecking ball

“Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness.” – Lance Wallnau

When Saul of Tarsus was converted he was told: “It is hard to kick against the pricks.” The prick was a sharp stick used to prod the movement of oxen or cattle. The wise rabbi Gamaliel cautioned that opposition to the early church may be a mistake, saying: “… if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God." (Acts 5:39) Hollywood, Media and the Entertainment elites have made an open display of hostility to the Trump Presidency, sparing no opportunity to berate and deride him whether on Broadway, Oscar’s, Emmy’s, or Tony Award shows. The problem with this is that 50 million Americans don’t like being told they are stupid and morally defective and the feedback has come home loud and clear as liberal award shows bombed in ratings. Even as box office sales suffered the real story about Hollywood shifted to Harvey Weinstein,

Page 10: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

Kevin Spacy, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Mark Halpern and many others. Anti Trump news media outlets have likewise suffered a massive loss of credibility as they continue to crusade against the President. Analysis shows that media (apart from MSNBC and CNN) is negative about Trump 93% of the time.

• President Obama presided over the worst economy since 1947 and Donald Trump has presided over the greatest economic performance since 1967. Record low unemployment for blacks and Hispanics is not celebrated by media in it’s 24/7 pursuit to cripple his presidency, yet Trump’s approval ratings continue to hover around 41-44% according to CBS and 47-50% according to Rasmussen. Their inability to destroy him is a point of exasperation in a town like Washington where politicians fear the wrath of media.

• Overall 62% of people say their trust in traditional media has

decreased because of fake news (R 75%; D 50%; I 62%). The “wrecking ball” is gradually making the crooked places straight, or failing that, making the crooked places look crooked.

Prediction Number 3: “He Will Undo the Belts of Kings.” Regarding Trump’s foreign policy, Isaiah 45:2 describes Cyrus as someone who “will undo the belt of kings.” What does this mean? In Hebrew language it describes undoing the military capacity of his adversaries. on April 13, 2018 U.S. warships launched 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian base. In that moment world leaders recalculated their willingness to test the new President’s resolve. We are watching Isaiah 45:2 in Trump’s trade policies with China as they attempt massive intellectual property theft and economic warfare against the United States. He has enacted tariffs other administrations ignored. Likewise, Trump has drawn a line with North Korean and Iran.

Page 11: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

Prediction Number 4: “His advisors will determine his success or failure.” Sen. Jeff Session made an error in “recusing” himself and stepping aside from his role in protecting the President. The story behind the Democrat-funded Russian Dossier and the collusion of FBI and CIA intelligence agencies is now becoming public knowledge. The other advisor who not only hurt but betrayed Donald Trump was James Comey. Comey was in fact working behind the scenes with former Obama Intelligence leader James Clapper (who worked at CNN) in setting the President up to review the Russian Dossier so that Clapper could signal Jake Tapper at CNN to break the story. Trump’s team is now getting stronger. The addition of Mike Pompeo and John Bolton to his foreign affairs team provides him with what he needs to solidify his strength as a wrecking ball “to make the crooked mountains straight.” (Isa 45:3) Prediction Number 5: “His success will be dependent on the unity of the church, the support of its leaders and its power in prevailing prayer.” His electoral success is actually due to Christian turnout and he knows it. In 2016, 23 million new voters showed up that were not calculated in traditional categories. These are called SAGECONS: spiritually active governmentally engaged conservatives, as described by George Barna in his book “The Day Christians Changed America.”

Page 12: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

Prediction Number 6: The President will seemingly produce “chaos” in order to initiate a new “order.” Putting these words together it describes an unorthodox style of creating the outcome you want by discovering new possibilities in the chaos. The word is: “Chaordic” leadership. Trump, like Lincoln and Churchill is a leader placed by providence into a position in the midst of a historic national crucible. This will manifest alongside an economic “reset”.

• There are two sides to the American economy. On one hand Wall Street wealth recovery is historic. The same data is clear regarding record unemployment, new jobs, projected GDP and the message to South Korea, the E.U. and NATO regarding the need to contribute to their own defense.

• The weakness of both Republicans and Democrats in regard to U.S.

debt management is shocking. Trump himself warned America in 2014 that when debt hits 22 Trillion dollars the country will be in a crisis. We are hitting this critical debt zone now – and Trump has no backing to deal with it. What is tragic is the fact that with just a little discipline in spending, the American economy is strong enough to expand its restraint on rogue nations and lift millions out of poverty. By not managing debt and in fact increasing national debt, selfish politicians put the entire nation and world at risk. When this bubble bursts it will be the end of America as we have known it.

Prediction Number 7: “Common Grace” Vessels rising. Trump is a “common grace” vessel who comes into office like Lincoln, viciously maligned, misunderstood and underestimated. Like Lincoln he will know the Lord through divine encounter experienced in the crucible of his service in America’s cultural unravelling. “Common Grace” is a theologian’s term formed during a time when secular mayors and magistrates needed Protestant teachers to explain what was expected of them as Protestantism spread. Common grace is the enablement God gives secular magistrates and leaders to restrain evil and promote the public good.

Prediction Number 8: A Demonic Leadership Backlash

Page 13: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

I predicted that the chaos that will manifest against Trump after his election will be nothing less than a demonic backlash against him because of a spirit of lawlessness reacting to his authority and the anointing on him as a “common grace” ruler. This unhinged behavior began on day #1 at Trumps Inauguration.

Prediction Number 9: All of this will be done for the sake of God’s People Isaiah says of Cyrus, “For Jacob My servant’s sake, and Israel My elect, I have called you by your name.” (Isa 45:4.) Cyrus was raised for the sake of God’s people. Donald Trump is in office for many reasons, not the least of which is the vulnerability of Israel and Christians. Secure Americans do not realize that 80% of the Christian world is living under moderate to extreme persecution and suppression from their governments. Iran is set on the destruction of Israel and the United States but because of Donald Trump’s leadership it is only willing to use proxy nations in its bid for power.

On May 3, 2018 the President signed an Executive Order to establish a “White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative” for revitalizing the poorest parts of America with a special focus on inner city black communities thru the “Urban Revitalization Coalition.”

Prediction Number 10: The Years of the Clashing OF Swords The years 2017 thru 2019 are the Hebrew Years 5777 thru 5779. As the election approached I saw for the first time the curious connection between the Hebrew year and it’s meaning in light of current events. In Hebrew each

Page 14: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

number has a meaning and the number seven speaks of swords. The election was 5777 and I heard the Lord say that America was entering a era of the clashing of swords… a war of words… a battle of utterance and ideas and influence. The earthly battle is so increasingly intense because people can be influenced by spirits. Principalities and angels are colliding in a great cosmic contest to remove the United States as a global power preserving the present world order. What is spiritual warfare all about? It is a contest to see which version of reality is going to prevail. Both Heaven and Hell seek to materialize on earth. Evil rulers unleash hell and righteous rulers restrain it.

Prediction Number 11: Fault Lines in The Church By 2020 the division among evangelicals regarding Trump will expose a fault line in the church. The result will redefine kingdom leadership for the next decade – and advance some voices that have been hidden. The Washington Post, on April 18, 2018, described a gathering of approximately 50 evangelical leaders meeting behind closed doors to discuss the future of evangelicalism amid concerns that their movement had become too closely aligned with President Trump. On October 31st, 2017 the church passed the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. The American church will experience a clashing of swords between the religious spirit and the Holy Spirit and this will ignite a vigorous debate about the role of the church in politics. The subject will shift when it is seen that the issue really is the churches role in law, media, economics, education, justice and government. Are we called to make disciples in nations or of nations? The theology over the actual existence of Sheep and Goat nations will be hotly debated. BACK TO THE STORY --- AS I STOOD ON LOU’S PLATFORM IN COLORADO SPRINGS, A DIVINE PATTERN SUDDENLY OPENED UP BEFORE ME. It came to me like a heavenly download. God’s “divine strategy,” when unfolded, would follow the pattern involving Cyrus in the Bible.

Page 15: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

It is MANIFEST CLEARLY in this 5-phase historic sequence:

1.) Jeremiah - the Prophetic voice! Jeremiah prophesied a 70-year captivity. After 70 years, Cyrus came to power and issued a decree authorizing the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their house of worship. The Cyrus ruler, Donald Trump, took office the same year Israel celebrated its 70-year anniversary as a modern nation state.

2.) Daniel - the Intercessor! Daniel took Jeremiah’s prophecy to

intercessory prayer and engaged principalities in a battle that shifted circumstances in alignment with the prophecy. Likewise, Lou Engle and multitudes of intercessors prayed and fasted intensely for God to intervene in America and He did in a manner nobody expected.

3.) Cyrus - the disruptive Ruler! Cyrus, an outsider to the Jewish

community, came into power during Israel’s captivity to Babylon and became a friend to God’s people. Donald Trump, an outsider to the evangelical world, came into office and became a friend to God’s people. Trump was not the deliverer the Christian community expected God to use. Back in February 2017 Christians were looking for a candidate like Mike Pence, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson or Marco Rubio, but God had a different idea.

4.) Zerubbabel and Ezra: the Spiritual Reformers! Zerubabbel represented the first wave of God’s remnant people responding to the work of God. Ezra the Levite followed as a church Reformer who rose up to educate, mobilize and activate a remnant to rebuild the spiritual house – “as one man!” (Ezra 3:1)

5.) Nehemiah the Civic Restorer - who built a wall! Nehemiah

followed Ezra and scholars believe Ezra wrote both the book of Ezra and Nehemiah. He rose up inside the secular power structure in the court of Artaxerxes as the kings trusted cupbearer. Building on the work of Ezra, Nehemiah went to work restoring the walls and gates. He did this to restore the sovereignty and security of the Jewish nation.

Page 16: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

The pattern visible in 1-5 is obvious, even though it is hidden in plain sight.

THE NEXT STAGE God has given us a window of mercy. If we were sufficiently united, we could see a national “reset” for America. The questions being asked are: “Should we see Donald Trump as a temporary reprieve? A momentary stay of execution allowing a brief season of reviving?” Those who think this way quote Ezra 9:8 “And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God…” We are stalled at steps 4 and 5. God has begun an amazing shift in America, but the people remain confused and bitterly divided. In spite of all Trump has done, and endured, evangelicals are still uncomfortable with his tweets! The next stage is where Zerubbabel mobilizes, Ezra teaches, and the Remnant aligns so that Nehemiah shows up and builds. I see this as a window of great opportunity linked with catastrophic consequences if we miss it.

Page 17: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

This moment calls for a focus on what needs to be done now and how the front lines advance so that revival and reformation can actually happen. The church has entered unchartered waters. Reformation is a re-forming of the wineskin to meet the need! Let’s start by identifying the remnant. Daniel intercessors played a major role in the election of Donald Trump. As intercessors fasted and prayed and pressed through in spiritual warfare God moved on a company of 25 million Christian believers who turned up and voted in an unanticipated last-minute surge. George Barna, the statistician, categorized this group as a demographic missed by other pollsters. He calls them SAGECONS – “Spiritually Active Governmentally Engaged Conservatives”. I believe God used this SAGECON group to stop the progressive unravelling of Judeo Christianity in the West. Overnight they showed up as a remnant that won the electoral college. What is amazing is the fact that they were uncoordinated yet SAGECONS voted in 83% agreement! Three things need to occur. The SAGECONS (24 million) and other parts of the church must be freshly educated, mobilized and activated. 61% of SAGECONS want their church to be more involved in politics and government, preparing their people to take an active and intelligent part in the process. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of Pastors (some estimate as low as 2.6%) are comfortable having this conversation. Once the 2018 midterms were passed a tense two-year period has begun and will culminate in a Presidential contest more intense than any other in American electoral history. If this Cyrus is to stay in power the Ezra’s and Nehemiah’s will need to emerge. Only then can community transformers be identified and unleashed to do their work. It is during this stage that the harvest of 75.4 million Millennials will be at the center of the Lord’s harvest work. Campuses and national media will be the epicenter of this battle – and we need to be ready. “In the multitude of people is the king's glory; but in the lack of people is the ruin of a prince.”

Page 18: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

(Proverbs 14:28) Our great need at this time is for UNITY and PERSEVERANCE. When the time came for Elisha to conclude his life and ministry, the king of Israel, Joash, came to him in desperation seeking a miracle of prophetic deliverance for the nation. The old Prophet told the King to shoot an arrow through a window. Then he told the king to take the arrows and "Strike the ground," and he struck it three times and stopped. The Bible says something interesting at this point: “So the man of God was angry with him and said, ‘You should have struck five or six times, then you would have struck Aram until you would have destroyed it. But now you shall strike Aram only three times.’ " (2 Kings 13:19) The walls of Jericho have fallen flat around us, and the arrow of deliverance has been shot. Now is the time to advance, go forward and smite the arrows on the ground five or six times. The name Joash is taken from the Hebrew name ׁשָאֹוי (Yo'ash) which meant both "fire of YAHWEH" and "YAHWEH has given". The words “fire” and “God has given” aptly describe Donald Trump. God has given a fiery leader. He will help us if we can smite the arrows with determination. Consider what this verse tells us. God gave Israel a breakthrough. The leader had faith enough to seek divine intervention but for some reason he did not maximize the opportunity YAHWEH had given! Let that not be said of us. Will we fail to smite the arrows? Will we settle for merely 2 more years or press into Gods provision for 5 or 6 years of intervention that could save and transform the nation? “You should have struck five or six times!” We must seize this moment and bring together the streams of the river of God to heal the corrupted parts of America or we will miss the moment and witness the collapse of the Judeo-Christian West and with it a domino-like collapse of religious liberty around the world. American decline is not inevitable. We can change the course, but it will require the right ALIGNMENT.

SHEEP NATIONS AND GOAT NATIONS

Page 19: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

This is a 2019-2020 window. The people who have been praying and preparing for revival need to hear the sound of the trumpet. Now is the time to awaken the understanding, mobilize the remnant and activate this remnant for impact. Believers need to understand how to build their own “sustained pattern of public persuasion” to “occupy” and not give up ground all around them in the culture war that rages. America still has an unfinished assignment in the earth. God is doing a new thing and that thing involves the discipling of nations not just the evangelizing of masses. The Last Days is going to be a battle of voices and kingdoms contending for the destiny of nations. According to Jesus, nations will become aligned for or against Him. They will be either sheep or goat nations. “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” (Mathew 25:31-32) What is a Sheep Nation? What exactly is a sheep nation? At its root a Sheep Nation is simply defined by the way a nation treats the people connected to Jesus. When speaking of Sheep nations Jesus said: “As you have done to the least of these you have done to Me.” A Sheep nation is a nation that is not hostile to the people of God: Christian and Jew. They do not persecute the followers of Jesus. Goat nations and goat systems are animated by an anti Christ spirit, a disposition to resist, harass and silence the move and people of God. In the end there will be just two types of nations: “Sheep nations” and “Goat nations.” (Mathew 25) We live in the period when these nations are being formed and global Christian leaders are seeking guidance. They look to America. We are the world leaders in church growth and training for revival, signs and wonders. We know how to build big ministries but are less skilled in actually transforming culture around us. God is moving in “mercy’ toward us at this moment in history. If America goes down prematurely the church in these emerging Sheep nations will experience increased persecution. We need time. We need to solidify what God has done. The Christian community is the key to this. We are part of a global move of God and it involves revival and reformation of nations.

Page 20: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

Here is an important distinction. Revival involves a personal encounter with God. Revival is personal – Reformation is institutional. Revival is for God’s people. It is a grass roots phenomenon. It impacts the spiritual environment. In a sense, it brings power for change from the outside in, or the bottom up. Reformation works from the other end and changes culture from the top down. We are at a tipping point. Though God intervened to interrupt our American unravelling it was done in a manner that was unexpected. The Christian community is still confused and disoriented in terms of what happened and how to advance in the face of it. It’s as if the walls of Jericho have fallen down and the encircling tribes of Israel are standing in place, dumbfounded, because there is no organizational core that is leading. Many of us have believed for the last decade that a revival of some sort or an outpouring was coming that would culminate in a great end time harvest. Looking more closely we began to see that the harvest may be different and perhaps even bigger than we imagined. The Lord Jesus was promised Nations as His inheritance (Psalm 2:8). You are part of that. Remember this pattern.

Page 21: Dr. LanceWallnauPROPHECIES.pdfof the great King Cyrus the Great — Persian King,” Netanyahu told Trump. “Twenty-five hundred years ago, he proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in

You are living in an exciting moment of history. True, we are divided and many are distressed, but even this period of trouble is consistent with what Daniel was shown when he prayed to see Jeremiah’s 70-year promise fulfilled. When the angel Gabriel broke through to Daniel he said he had come to give the great intercessor insight into what God was doing. You can read all this in Daniel 9: 20-25. When the prophet was shown the future he not only saw Israel returning to the land he saw Nehemiah’s wall project completed and saw the coming of Messiah. There is a special insight I want you to see. Note these words – “the street shall be built again and THE WALL, EVEN IN TROUBLESOME TIMES.” (Dan 9:25) Nehemiah was building in the face of fierce opposition. Take courage. Times of trouble and times of distress don’t stop Gods people from finishing their assignment. America isn’t forsaken. We will pull together and get the job done, even if it’s done in a “troublesome” time.
