If the Second Coming of Christ is still in our future, then Jesus lied and both he and the Prophet Daniel were false prophets!
Strong words? Perhaps, but only if one does not take the plain sense meanings of the Lord Jesus and the Prophet Daniel at face value.
Dr. Kelly Birks demonstrates from direct exegesis of the text of Dan. 9: 24-27, how we can know that the Lord Jesus and Daniel pointed to Christ's Second Coming within the lifetimes of his first century disciples. When the Lord Jesus stated in the Olivette Discourse, "This generation shall not pass until all these things be fulfilled", Christ was simply following the prophetic structure of the 70th Week of Daniel as it pertained to his initial coming and glorious Second Coming during the time of the three and a half -year siege upon the city and people of Jerusalem from AD 66- 70. 206 pages, paper, bibliography.

About the Author
AUTHOR PROFILE
Dr. Kelly Nelson Birks was born in Downey, California in 1957, and grew up in the quiet suburb of Montebello located in Los Angeles County. Growing up in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), he was regenerated at about ten years of age and water baptized at about the same time. After graduation from high school, (a fact that still amazes him) Dr. Birks spent some time studying at East Los Angeles Junior College. A suggestion from his pastor was what sent him off to Bible College. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in pastoral theology from L.I.F.E. Bible College in Los Angeles. Several years as a pastor in both the assistant and senior levels followed.
After moving to Denver, Colorado, Dr. Birks and his family received a call to come and pastor the Evangelical Friends Church in Omaha, Nebraska. Over the years, Dr. Birks earned a Th.M. (Master of Theology) in biblical studies and a doctorate in ministry and biblical studies. Dr. Birks' Ph.D. dissertation was on the prophecy of Daniel's Seventy Weeks entitled, The Consummation of the Christ.
Dr. Birks' wife's name is Brenda. They have four children and two
grandchildren. Over the years, Dr. Birks has had much interdenominational
experience in Charismatic, Pentecostal, and conservative circles. He was
originally ordained into the ministry under the International Church of the
Foursquare Gospel. He subsequently served in Pentecostal, Charismatic,
Quaker, and independent churches. As a result of coming into the truths of
the reformed faith, Dr. Birks is presently serving Messiah Church in
Omaha, Nebraska where he and his family make their home.
