Who denies that? Not me, but the Jews do and all the ungodly peoples.
None of those 6 tenets in Daniel 9:24 have been fulfilled. They will be when Jesus Returns. Because all of the ungodly peoples will be dead.
However, after the Millennium, Satan will be released and sin will again rear its ugly head. Then: all people will be Judged and in Eternity: all those 6 tenets will be finally fulfilled.
If you do not get what it says in Jeremiah 23:6 you will probably never understand salvation. It describes our God:
“THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
If this is not the hope of your heart life then you have bought the devil’s lie. You are looking in the wrong direction.
2 Corinthians 5:21:
"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made (or become)
the righteousness of God in him."
Our sin was imputed or accounted to Christ; His righteousness was imputed or accounted to us! God's "righteousness" has always been "everlasting righteousness" but for man to experience that personally required Calvary. There, our sin was attributed to Jesus and there His "everlasting righteousness" was attributed to us. Up until then, the penalty for our sin had not been paid. Man had not entered into the eternal reality of imputed righteousness. The cross triggered that thus making that a current reality (Daniel 9:24).
Romans 5:19-21 states:
“For as by one man's disobedience many were made (or
kathistemi or designated)
sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made (or
kathistemi or designated)
righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Experiencing God’s “righteousness” which we know is “everlasting righteousness” is something that the New Testament tells us occurs in this age. The good news for us is:
· Jesus Christ volunteered to come to earth and live a perfect life as our substitute. Basically, He lived the life that we could never live on our behalf.
· He also agreed to take our penalty in full, so that we would never have to pay for it.
· For us it to take a hold of this incredible benefit He simply asked for us to surrender our sin to Him and receive His forgiveness, His perfect righteousness, and eternal life.
All our legal or covenant responsibilities were placed upon Christ, and all His legal or covenant merits were applied to us. This work is the eternal basis of our justification by faith.
It is the imputation of Christ's righteousness that causes us to be righteous. It is not something we become of ourselves. There is a legal transaction involved in our salvation and our sanctification (or covering). A righteousness that we could never attain has been placed within us through the life of Christ. The righteousness that the believer now owns is not his own it is imputed (or accounted to him) of Christ. It is Christ within him that is his righteousness. Every other religion in the world depends on their own self-righteousness – we depend totally on Christ’s.
1 Peter 2:2-4 informs us that Christ,
“his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
If you are looking to anything other than Jesus and His shed blood at the cross for your salvation you are missing it. You are going to hell.
Please know that your confidence and hope is built exclusively upon Christ and what He wrought on our behalf. There was a perfect substitute (or representative) that took your individual place and lived the life you couldn’t and paid the price you couldn’t.
The great redemption chapter of Isaiah 53 prophesied of Christ in Isaiah 53:11-12:
"He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.”
Our sin was imputed to Christ; His righteousness was imputed to us. Christ’s perfect once all-sufficient self-sacrifice secured a full, real and perfect redemption for his own. 2 Corinthians 5:21 further says, “for he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
The righteousness that the believer owns is not his own it is imputed (or put into him) of Christ. Every other religion in the world depends on their own self-righteousness – we depend totally on Christ.
Finally, how long does that righteousness last? We get the answer in Psalm 119:142:
“Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.”
