What would be the use in praying if you are not going to listen to what God says?

Of course you then take those actions that God tells you to take in prayer.

adconline,

Here is my definition of prayer:

Communicating with God and God telling you what actions to take.

This is why I say prayer alone will help.

Prayer is listening to God about what actions to take.

Obedience (actions) is then following what you heard in prayer.

TayoD,

I'll just start with number 1 and we can go from there:

The seventy weeks:

69 weeks:

Dan 9:25  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.

70th week:

Dan 9:26  And [size=16pt]after [/size] threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Notice the bible does not teach that the Messiah was cut off in the 69th week as many Christians are told.

The 70th week has to be past because it was [size=16pt]only after [/size] the 69th week that the Messiah cut off.

Dan 9:27  And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

The next verse shows what Jesus did.

Confirmed the ccovenant

1. Confirmed the covenant.

Cut off in the midst of the week

2. Jesus preached for 3 and half years.

Desolation for the Jews

3. Refers to the Jews loss for not accepting their Messiah

Order of End Time Events:

70 weeks for the Jews. Daniel 9: 25, 26, 27 This is past

Times of the Gentiles. Luke 21:24 This is past

The Tribulation. Luke 21:25 This is current

The Great Tribulation Luke 21:27 This is Future
