I now view the 70th Week of Daniel as fulfilled in the first Advent of Jesus, and that The Antichrist is mentioned in Daniel 9 only possibly in being the Abomination alluded to. Which contrary to many translations is not set up by the same person who confirms the Covenant and stops the Daily Sacrifice.
But I think maybe the 70th Week has End Times relevance only in that an Antichrist will seek to claim he's The Messiah. Though I do not view that scenario the same way Chris White does. Though that could just be me seeking an excuse to not do all the work that changing the URL of this Blog would entail.
Here is my 2 cents. I definitely agree that the covenant is the Mosaic covenant - Daniel 9 and specifically Dan 9:11 reference it multiple times over. And it has eschatological meaning insomuch as Jews need it to verify the antichrist as their messiah.
ReplyDeleteRead Dan 9:24-27 in a purely futurist sense and it will be completely clear: there is the 'call to restore Jerusalem'. This started the end time clock right here and is commemorated with the natl holiday, Jerusalem Day in Israel.
(28 Iyyar, 5727 or June 7, 1967)
25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.
7 '7's is the coming of the anointed one (antichrist) and after 62 weeks the antichrist will receive his mortal head wound. 7 '7's is 49 years, and 62 weeks are literal weeks.
Imo, Putin is the modern Cyrus, and Trump is the modern Zerubabbel (hence the Russian 'hacking scandal', Russia/ cyrus is 'installing' the puppet governor Zerubabbel). Both are involved in rebuilding the 3rd temple. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/78372/bin-exclusive-sanhedrin-asks-putin-trump-build-third-temple-jerusalem/
On June 7, 2016 (49 years later)the Israeli chief rabbi went on TV to say that the temple should be rebuilt.
Also, Netanyahu was meeting with Putin same day.
49 years later, June 7, 2016, the Republican primaries end and Trump is the nominee officially. After 62 weeks, Aug 15, 2017, Trump will receive his mortal head wound (the 'anointed one is 'cut off'). the people of the prince to come = the false prophet's army.
At the end of the 69 weeks from June 4, 2016 (28 Iyyar) is Yom Kippur/ 10 Tishri. (note that there are 2 sets of time being used, the solar calendar and the Hebrew Biblical calendar - 49 years later ends June 7, 2016 on the solar calendar, but 49 years from 28 Iyyar 5727 is the solar calendar dusk June 4, 2016.) Yom Kippur is when the Mosaic covenant is read, and this is the 'covenant' that is broken in the middle of it. The antichrist & false prophet are anointed (the anointed one and the prophet is sealed in Dan 9:24) and this starts the 7 years covenant/ Mosaic covenant.
In essence, the call to restore Jerusalem starts June 7, 1967 or 28 Iyyar, 5727 49 years later (Dan 9:25's 7 '7's) comes the anointed one, start 70 literal weeks, 70 literal weeks ends with the antichrist and false prophet being anointed (often in verse 24, the word is translated as prophecy but should be rendered 'prophet'), they confirm the Mosaic covenant on Yom Kippur / 10 Tishri (which is at the end of 69 weeks)
The spine of the entire tribulation appears to go:
-Call to restore Jerusalem (the original 'Jerusalem Day') June 7,1967 (28 Iyyar, 5727)
-49 years comes the anointed ones & call to restore the temple
-after 62 weeks, the anointed one is 'cut off' (we know he gets resurrected because it's the same person that then makes the Mosaic covenant with the people later in verse 27) (August 15, 2017)
-69 weeks after the solar 49 years (Oct. 3, 2017/ 13 Tishri) starts the 1290 days,
-1290 days ends April 15, 2021 (seems to indicate taxes will be used to implement the abomination worship in the US)
-2300 days after April 15, 2021 puts us at the solar eclipse seen in Jerusalem to cap off the 10 year tribulation of Rev 2:10
I don't believe in gaps
DeleteWhere are there any gaps? The 70 weeks means many things, among which are literal 70 'weeks'/ 490 days. Which was addressed above.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe in the '70th week'/ '7 year trib' notion, it is right there starting at the Mosaic covenant which will be fulfilled at this year's Yom Kippur.
There are no days involved. They are years that begin with the Decree of Artaxerxes.
DeleteYou still haven't answered my question: where are there any gaps in what I have presented?
DeleteI'm sorry I must have misunderstood what you were presenting.
DeleteMaybe you think there is a gap between the end of the 7 year Mosaic covenant and the end of the 10 year tribulation. The gap is addressed in Matt 24 & 25
ReplyDelete45 “Who then is the faithful and wise servant,[c] whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions. 48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed,’ 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants[d] and eats and drinks with drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know 51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps[a] and went to meet the bridegroom.[b] 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
the wicked servant thinks that Jesus has been delayed! After all the events of the tribulation, then the servant thinks He's been delayed!
Also, the 10 virgins all fall asleep waiting. The kingdom of heaven has arrived (25:1) but they all fall asleep. the 5 wise virgins stay faithful, even though the kingdom has started but no Jesus is around! The 5 foolish virgins were caught in a giant head fake.
