Did not imply Christians offer sacrifice. You jumped the gun a bit fast and misread me. And this was not the main point of the post .Only to share insight of
Daniel 9:27 kjv.
Hosea 14:2
Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
Romans 12:1
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
I mentioned that this is a prophetic figure of speech, like used in Revelation.
So in a spiritual sense.. Sacrifice was done by the Levitical Priests. But the believer offered up the best they had to God.
But today, Christians sacrifice their love and acceptable service to God.
The Lords Passover, which is called communion today is also symbolic of Christ sacrifice and He instructs Christians to take the unleavened bread and wine every Passover and Pentecost
(as often as they met).
Much Like Ezekiel 40- 48 is about The Lords Day yet uses animal sacrifice as a illustration for the spiritual. Since flesh and blood cannot inherent Gods Kingdom and all are changed at that time.
Likewise Daniel is using language that is symbolic the timeline and subject dictates its a illustration.
The Daily sacrifice in this sense then is faith in Christ. Which we live daily. Not just one day of the week or one day of the year. If belief is said to stop its because of the subject, Satan standing in the hearts of Christians claiming to be what he's not ( Christ is the temple ) But Satan will claim to be.
So daily sacrificed stopped in prophetic language, but in plain language its called The Great Apostasy 2 Thessalians 2.
- Anti in Greek means (instead of). So instead of Christ, first comes Satan claiming to be. This is all anti means. It can mean apposed if as individuals. But Satan himself being the subject matter, comes disguised as an angel of light. Specifically as Christ.
- Visually seeing is already explained, in Revelation 13. And 2 Thessalians 2. But the subject aims to warn the believer from apostasy, and the crux of the matter is the heart. The warning involves beliefs. Its already established Satan appears to the world with quite a show. But this is not the main focus of the entire teaching around it. But to avoid deception.
- There is no 3rd temple mentioned anywhere in scriptures. But Christ is the temple Satan wants to sit in, basically in the hearts and minds of the people he becomes head of Christians. And that is an abomination and idolotry and adultery in the highest degree.
Jerusalem is the geo location.
A genuine believer would be The Elect and they have to know what Gods word says. If they believe in mans words then they wont weather this storm. Rapture for example teaches they dont have to even worry about Revelation. Thus Gods word is supplanted by traditions of men and that teaching is very popular. It teaches all Christians to worship and fall before the first one that appears claiming to be Christ. And in this, most of the worlds Christians are deceived. And they were very well Christians. Up until that point. Revelation is clear. Christ is giving the warning to the churches. Are they listening? I think not. There is a reason Christ is very dire about this warning and revealing Revelation.
To go back and illustrate the figure or analogy Daniel used before,
Ezekiel 40-48 is during The Lords Day ( Rev 20 ).
There is no flesh and blood. Yet animal sacrifice is used as illustration;
for the Spiritual work The Elect do during this time of a thousand years tending to the people and work of God. So the mind must make the connection this is illustration and update it for the time its about. The Lords Day.
Ezekiel 40:
9 Thus saith the Lord God; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord God, and they shall bear their iniquity.
13 And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
14 But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord God:
Finally someone else around here not taking some of these things in a literal sense.
