=== Cyrus, Anointed to Build (03:05) ===

[00:00:00]  So I go into the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks, and we go through it carefully, but in a way that the average layperson can understand.
[00:00:08]  And we teach them about the prophecy.
[00:00:12]  And Pastor Jim, I'm telling you that they have all the furniture ready today.
[00:00:17]  And I asked Rabbi Haim Richmond, who is the executive director of the Temple Institute, I said, okay, Rabbi, I want to know something.
[00:00:24]  If your government calls you today and says, we just got a deal, build the temple, how long will it take you?
[00:00:32]  He said, we have estimated that we can do it within 12 months with modern technology.
[00:00:37]  The Bible teaches it will be done during the first three and a half years of the final seven.
[00:00:43]  And they have the architectural drawings.
[00:00:45]  I've seen the architectural drawings with my own eyes.
[00:00:47]  Is that why they've asked Trump to help build it?
[00:00:50]  Actually, Jews have asked Trump to please help us build our temple.
[00:00:53]  Yeah, because they compare him to Cyrus.
[00:00:55]  Right.
[00:00:56]  Cyrus, you know, in the Old Testament, when the Jews were down in Babylon, because they've been carried away because of their backsliding.
[00:01:05]  Well, Cyrus overthrew the government of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar.
[00:01:10]  And when Cyrus came to power, Jeremiah prophesied to Judea and said, You're going to go into captivity for 70 years.
[00:01:17]  And if you go willingly, I'll bless you in your captivity.
[00:01:21]  But if you resist, you'll be destroyed.
[00:01:24]  Well, listening to him preach was Daniel, three Hebrew children, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Mordecai.
[00:01:32]  And they went willingly.
[00:01:33]  When Nebuchadnezzar came, they were in their first wave.
[00:01:35]  Well, where did they end up?
[00:01:36]  They end up high in the governments of Babylon at that particular time.
[00:01:42]  Well, then, when the 70 years was up, Daniel said, I understood by reading the books the 70 years prophesied by Jeremiah the prophet.
[00:01:49]  It says that in the book of Daniel.
[00:01:51]  And he said, so I set my face to fast and pray.
[00:01:54]  And he began to fast and pray, and God answered his prayer.
[00:01:57]  You know the way he answered his prayer?
[00:01:59]  He got him thrown in the lion's den.
[00:02:02]  Now, sometimes we don't like our prayers answered that way.
[00:02:05]  Right, right, right.
[00:02:06]  But he got thrown into the lion's den, but just for one night, because Darius did not approve of this, but he couldn't change the law.
[00:02:16]  And so he comes down early in the morning and pulls Daniel out of the lion's den.
[00:02:19]  Now, Darius was co-ruler with Cyrus.
[00:02:23]  They were the ruler of the Medes and the Persians.
[00:02:25]  Well, if you've got a guy in your room that lived a night through the lion's den and you personally pulled him out, are you going to go introduce him to your co-ruler?
[00:02:34]  You know you're going to.
[00:02:36]  I am sure that Daniel met Cyrus and he said to Cyrus, Well, you know you're in the prophecies of our scriptures.
[00:02:44]  Cyrus said, Me?
[00:02:47]  Yeah, Isaiah 44.
[00:02:49]  It says, Cyrus, thou art the Lord's anointed, and you will say unto the house of the Lord, thou shalt be built.
[00:02:55]  And Daniel told him how that the temple was destroyed because of Israel's backsliding.
[00:02:59]  But after 70 years, we're going to go back.
[00:03:01]  And Cyrus said, Done.
[00:03:03]  All the Jews can go back starting tomorrow.
