7 marks of a right heart before God part 2 by JC Ryle

A right heart is a BROKEN and CONTRITE heart (Psalm 51:17). It is broken off from pride, self-conceit, and self-righteousness. Its former high thoughts of self are cracked, shattered, and shivered to atoms. It thinks itself guilty, unworthy, and corrupt. Its former stubbornness, heaviness, and insensibility have thawed, disappeared, and passed away. It no longer thinks lightly of offending God. It is tender, sensitive, and jealously fearful of running into sin (2 Kings 22:19). It is humble, lowly, and self-abased, and sees in itself no good thing.

19 since your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become an object of horror and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I have indeed heard you,’ declares the Lord.” -nasb

19 Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people—that they would become a curse<b=">b</a>"> and be laid waste—and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I also have heard you, declares the Lord. niv

Summary:

There is going to be a rise of a political ruler belonging to a 10 nation European confederation of some sort that will broker a peace deal for Israel but it is a false peace. It is when this false peace occurs will sudden destruction of the day of the Lord happen.

Scripture:

1 Thessalonians 5

3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. -nkjv

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. -kjv

3 While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction will come upon them like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. -nasb

3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. -niv

Question from Listener:

I pray that the Holy Spirit will help you enlighten my understanding. As I teach scripture, I taught Daniel, the book of Daniel, several times and I teach out of the New King James normally but I discovered that in Daniel 9:26, a phrase that I use to point to Messiah, Messiah shall be cut off but not for Himself, that phrase "but not for Himself" is not in the Holman Christian Standard, is not in the NIV and any of them.

Summary:

In NKJV, Daniel 9:26 reads

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

In KJV,

26 And after 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.

In NASB,

26 Then after the sixty-two weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.

In NIV,

26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.

In HCSB,

26 After those 62 weeks the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the coming prince will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come with a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations are decreed.

In Hebrew, the meaning is unclear.

"Not for himself" denotes substitution

"Nothing" means the Messiah is left destitute
