The prophet Daniel made a prediction that the Messiah would confirm the covenant with His people for one week, but would be cut off in the middle of that time period (Dan 9:26,27). Yahshua's ministry to the house of Israel had lasted three and a half years, but there was still a small period of time during which the Gospel of salvation would be preached to the Israelites.

With great power and glory, the blessed hope given to us by the Messiah's sacrifice was to be taught in Judea, and that time period is the focus of this study.
