You've said it to clients, and so I really need to know.

So the famous or maybe infamous prophecy of the 70 weeks of Daniel, which is an interpretive quagmire.

In Daniel 9, beginning of verse 24, 70 weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city to finish the transgression, now listen to this, to put an end to sin and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness.

to seal both vision and prophet and to anoint a most holy place.

Who alone could do that? Could any prior king, could any prior priest, even any prior prophet? No, this is a promise of the Lord Jesus.

I call this the gospel of Daniel.

This is the gospel of the covenant of grace that a contemporary of Daniel, Jeremiah promises in 31, Jeremiah 31, 31 to 33 says, This is the new covenant promise here.

Correct.

It's not a straight line, but ultimately glory is our end.

Glorious are in.

So think of Jesus and John 17 in many ways.

To understand, frankly, any of these books we're talking about, but particularly Psalms, and you mentioned Ecclesiastes, you have to understand Jesus' self-conception of suffering to glory.

Luke 24.

You can't understand anything in the Old Testament apart from Luke 24, which is why when Jesus ran into the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and he comes alongside of them and says, what are y'all talking about? which is from the MSV, the Mid-South version.

What are y'all talking about? And they say, what do you mean what we're talking about? The one upon whom we have pinned all our hopes was to be the Messiah, was crucified on a trash heap, and now our hopes are gone.

Yeah, that's right.
