Right Side Up Again

"A period of seventy sets of years has been decreed for your people and your holy city to finish their rebellion, to put an end to sin, to atone for their guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness..." (Daniel 9:24)

Beloved, be of good cheer. Great hope for this upside-down world lies in an almost twenty-five-hundred-year-old prophecy given to a kidnapped and enslaved man around 536 B.C. God promised Daniel that one day He will set all things right side up again, putting an end to sin and ushering in everlasting righteousness!

(Fun facts: Daniel was taken into captivity as a youth in Jerusalem and carted off to Babylon in 605 B.C. When Daniel was an old man, God, through the angel Gabriel, gave him the infamous seventy-sevens prophecy near the end of seventy years of exile. I guessed 69 years to come up with 536 B.C. This prophecy of "no sin and everlasting righteousness" is yet to be fulfilled, but one day - sooner than later - it will be done through Jesus!)

Makes me wanna shout! Praise Jesus! Worthy of all worship and praise!
