Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High… The greatest revolution time ever underwent is that which the Saviour himself wrought when He put an end to Levitical time, and introduced His own eternal sacrificial time. I. TIMES AND LAWS. What were the characteristics of the times the Saviour established? 1. Salvation. A time in which we can be accepted of God. 2. Christ's time is one of vital and final ingathering. II. THE TRIBULATION OF THE PEOPLE. "They shall be given into His hand." What a mercy it is that, if the adversary gain dominion in some measure, yet the sovereignty of God, the hand of God, will protect the people. III. THE OPPOSITE DESTINY OF THESE TWO CLASSES OF PEOPLE — THE ENEMY AND THE FRIEND. What will become of the man who knows nothing of these Christian times, that knows nothing of the law of faith, the law of liberty. The next verse says, the living God shall take away His dominion. Why are we brought under the law of faith, and thereby under the law of love, and life, and liberty, and righteousness? (James Wells.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. |
