Holy Spirit is The POWER of the most High .This made Christ the Son , as Holy and Sacred . He walked among us in human form ,so that he can relate to us and work through us . At the same time ,Jesus had the Spiritual lineage of Solomon through Joseph ,the adoptive father and the lineage to Mary through Manasseh (Davids lineage ) The Core Identity is of Yahweh alone through Holy Spirit passed on to the son Jesus Christ ,An act culminating as prophesied aimed at salvation and repentance of sinners . 2.

The promises we find in Joel are about the Prophecies of Outpouring of God's Spirit , and the Salvation of those who calls upon Him (Joel 2/28-29 ,2/32a The verses also speak to us about the Promise --Receiving the gifts of prophecy and interpretation of visions & dreams by the believers who are ""Sons""(children) ,old and young both men and women I personally rejoice in the verse - "I will give you a new heart and put a new Spirit within you; which is applicable to all of us ,sinners and those humble to be repentant .the assurance of salvation of many , Noteworthy to revise the narration of Valley Of Dry Bones that will be regenerated to life ..Ezekiel 37th Chapter It can be considered as a Promise and Power of the life giving a attribute of Holy Spirit.as a Future event in the House of Israel.

The Promise is seen in the prophetic verses of Isaiah Ch-11 , 42 and 61.The first of the prophecy is that Holy Spirit will come upon the Promised Messiah ,the descendant of David 2.Yahweh assures as that He will put the Holy Spirit of God in this suffering servant (Isaiah) Jesus Christ who will be the Judge and Master of nations 3.It is confirmed that the Messiah is Annointed ,(filled with Holy Spirit from God) The Fulfillment is by the earthly life death and resurrection (the ministry )which Jesus himself confirmed in Luke 4/21

The Spirit of God is powerful .alive and ever active .In the Old Testament the Spirit of God was not universal.There was sporadic settlement of this Holy Spirt or Rauah in particular person living at a time for a particular Goal of God or Yahweh ,The primary purpose was a service that God chose for the person,The selected individual was to obey and act in power when the Spirt indwell in him,.There are narrations of many persons in OT who had this experience . The effect was a CHANGE in the way the person received as the person understood the specific comand and task he was ordained or expaected to do ,This change was a Power and Conviction to ACT or REST ,giving utmost importance to teh commander ,Yahweh.The relationship was very personal .We see that many of those with Spirit prophesed and stood strong in front of enemies ,Won battles ,Lead people closer to God and Righteousness ,,The effect is a New Heart in Obedience ,

2. (Daniel 10:12-13) Why wasn’t the angel messenger able to bring his message in a timely manner? Who resisted him? Who helped him? What does this teach us about prayer? About spiritual warfare?

Q1. (Daniel 10: 3, 7-11, 15-17) Daniel is old, but why does the vision affect him so greatly? What is the physical effect on him? What is the mental and spiritual effect on him? Why is spiritual "work" so taxing on us? Daniel at an advanced age had the vision at the appointed time ,He understood it and was moved beyond strength ,Though he later regained the strength as the battle occurs between satanic forces and the Gods angel at Daniels side ,Only Daniel saw the vision ,those who were with him were hidden by a quake.The vision was heavenly and out of the routines of the earth ,He lay face downward as a hand touched him . There was no strength in him ,his comeliness was turned to corruption and he became weak, Physical effect also included becoming dumb and he became deep asleep face downward on the ground . He was also breathless . Daniel mourned for three weeks ,fasting and not anoint or groom himself, Mentally he was alert to listen to the angel of God and he had a great empowerment spiritually soon after the visit of the messenger of God. Spiritual work is draining because we are in the presence of the almighty and the commission of a great(powerful) job is at hand , All our faculties are awake to make it perfect ,The sharing of the Word , ,and all our mind and all our souls is alerted to the Power of Lord ,

Daniel 9:24 clearly assigns this time of “70 weeks” to Daniel's people (jews)and their holy city; and it becomes a type of the position ,the gift of Jesus the messiah for the Church to know and understand Hebrews 1/1-2.., 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.

He bore the sins of the people ,and fulfilled the prophecy as the lamb of God who carries the sins of the people Rejection of Christ by Jews was the finale of apostasy of Jews though they knew a lot of laws and the commandments of Moses ,they did not see Christ as the Messiah.
