Time for him to grow into man

 Daniel 9: [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.

"The thing that’s keeping back the 70^th Week and the prophetic events in Daniel 9:26 is the dispensation of grace, but once our dispensation is over with, katy bar the door. When it’s over, things are going to move rather quickly.

II Thessalonians: [6] And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

“Satan has been waiting for 6,000 years to get that moment and when it comes, in the prophetic scheme where it’s time for him to have that opportunity, he’s not going to be sitting around saying, ‘Well, should I really do this or not?’ He’s going to move quickly on those things you read about in Daniel 9.

Daniel 9:27: [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.

“How do you know when the 70^th Week begins? When he confirms the covenant. The confirmation of that covenant is the moment--that’s when the clock starts ticking on that last seven years.  But prior to that there’s some things that have to take place.

“Those ten kings have to be there before the 70^th Week. There’s a political realignment that has to take place in the Middle East where those 10 kings show up and are there, and then the Antichrist comes in and takes over.

“The point is there’s things that have to take place in prophecy after the Rapture prior to the beginning of the 70^th Week. If you’ve ever thought about it, when this guy takes over he has to be a grown man in a position of power. It takes some time to grow. In other words, the Rapture takes place—where did he come from?
