Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

Praise Him! Praise Him? Praise the everlasting King. Praise Him for His grace and favor To our fathers in distress; Praise Him, still the same for ever, Slow to chide and swift to bless: Praise Him! Praise Him! Glorious in His faithfulness. Father-like He tends and spares us; Well our feeble frame He knows; In His hands He gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes: Praise Him! Praise Him! Widely as His mercy flows. Angels in the height, adore Him; Ye behold Him face to face; Sun and moon, bow down before Him; Dwellers all in time and space, Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise with us the God of grace. Henry Francis Lyte

A DC AIRPORT AGENT SHOWS WHY OUR COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE! A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) called to make reservations, ''I want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York. ''I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?'' 'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man. After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." ''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!'' So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo, do you?'' The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''

(Dan 9:24-25) 03/28/10 The King Matthew 23:37-38 Daniel 9:24-26 (Mat 16:20) Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. (Matt 8:4; 9:30; 17:9) (Mk 7:36; 8:26, 30; 9:9) (Lk 5:14; 8:56; 9:21) (Luke 19:40) And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. (Luke 19:42) Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. (Luke 19:44) And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. (1 Pet 2:12) Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. (Phil 4:19) But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Psa 37:4) Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (Prov 3:6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Psa 37:23) The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. (Psa 91:7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. (Psa 91:10) There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. (Psa 91:11) For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. (Matt 23:37) and ye would not! (Matt 23:38) Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. (Joel 3:14) Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. (Deu 30:15) See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; (Deu 30:19) I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Mat 23:37-38) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. (1 Pet 5:7) Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (Psa 119:68) Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. (Psa 103:5) Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. (Psa 104:28) That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. (Psa 84:11) For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
