THE BOOK OF DANIEL
CHAPTER 9
SEVENTIETH WEEK PREDICTION
70 WEEKS PROPHECY ON THE 70 WEEKS OF DANIEL STORY
Great to have you back! As we continue in our studies of
the prophesies of the Prophet Daniel, let me remind you that as we
learned before, these chapters are not in chronological order. Chapters
7 and 8 took place before Chapter 6, and now, Chapter 9 reverts back to
the first year of the reign of Darius.
If you recall, way back in the first
chapter of Daniel, that God bestowed the gifts of wisdom, knowledge and
skill upon Daniel. He starts off this writing by saying that he
discovered in the book of Jeremiah the prophet, that He (God) would
accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. In other
words, the captivity in Babylon would last for seventy years.
|
Jeremiah 29:10
For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be
accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good
Word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. |
Daniel, saddened in his spirit about
this, fasted and prayed, asking for mercy from God upon Israel,
confessing the sins of his forefathers as well as his own generation and
asking to be delivered as they were once delivered out of Egypt. Daniel
offers a very eloquent prayer to God, asking Him to let His anger be
turned away and to again cause His face to shine upon Jerusalem and His
sanctuary which lay in ruins.
Before Daniel ended his prayer, the
Angel Gabriel again appeared to him and told him that when he began
praying, Gabriel was commanded to show him a vision and make him
understand it, because Daniel was greatly beloved. The vision is just four verses long, but the message in it is enormous.
Let's take a look:
|
Daniel 9:24-27
Seventy weeks
are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to
finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to
make reconciliation for iniquity,
and to bring in everlasting righteousness,
and to seal up the vision and prophecy,
and to anoint the most Holy.
Know therefore and
understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to
restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street
shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
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. 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. |
SEVENTIETH WEEK TIMELINE
70 WEEKS PROPHECY ON THE 70 WEEKS OF DANIEL INTERPRETATION
The term "week" is being used to describe
a 7 year period. So, 70 weeks is equal to 490 years in the vision that
Daniel had.
|
Daniel 9:25
Know therefore and
understand, that from
the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build
Jerusalem unto the
Messiah the Prince shall be
seven weeks,
and
threescore and two weeks:
the street shall be built again, and the wall,
even in troublous times. |
So, we must find the date that the
commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem occurred as to have a
starting point of the 490 years.
|
Nehemiah 2:1-7
And it came to pass in the
month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king,
that wine was before him: and I took up the
wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not
been beforetime sad in his presence. Wherefore
the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance
sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing
else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore
afraid, And said unto the king, Let the king
live for ever: why should not my countenance be
sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed
with fire? Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make
request? So I prayed to the God of Heaven. And I said unto the
king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found
favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest
send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres,
that I may build it.
And the king said unto me, (the queen also
sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey
be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the
king to send me; and I set him a time. Moreover
I said unto the king, If it please the king, let
letters be given me to the governors beyond the
river, that they may convey me over till I come
into Judah;
And a letter unto Asaph the
keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to
make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to
the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house
that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to
the good hand of my God upon me. |
SEVENTIETH WEEK IS THE END TIMES
70 WEEKS PROPHECY ON THE 70 WEEKS OF DANIEL WARNING
The
twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king
was 445 BC.
The Angel told Daniel, that from the
DATE of the order to rebuild Jerusalem, until the arrival of the long
awaited Messiah would be 69 of the 70 weeks (483 years). So, the Angel
predicted to Daniel that from 445 BC to this Messiah would be 483
years.
There are 360 days in a Jewish year. Based on
this, it is 483 years or 173,880 days from the order to rebuild
Jerusalem until this long awaited Messiah ... When one does the math, it
is astonishing to find that the time period ends
the exact day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem, just days before His
crucifixion and resurrection proving Jesus is the Messiah!
Quite awesome ... But, remember, this study is
called the 70th week of Daniel.
We just found out 69 of those weeks (483 years) has past. BUT ... A
total of 70 weeks or 490 years was predicted by the Angel in Verse 24,
to bring in everlasting righteousness
and anoint the most Holy. Since we discovered that it was only 483 years
from the order to rebuild Jerusalem, to the day Jesus entered Jerusalem,
that leaves this extra week, or 7 year period. What's up with this 70th
Week?
There is a simple explanation for this.
The Bible makes it clear that when Jesus was crucified and resurrected,
that Israel's "time clock" stopped and it now began a time period known
as the "Time of the Gentiles."
"TIME OF THE GENTILES"
|
Luke 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led
away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden
down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles
be fulfilled ... |
There is a time period mentioned in
the Bible known as the "Time of the Gentiles" ... It is the period of
time which is after Jesus' death but before the End Times which is a
time where Gentiles (individuals from any nation other than Israel) have
been given the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Savior ... It is
believed that the "Time of the Gentiles" would be the same amount of
time as the Jewish time period. If we look at the C-O-O-L Bible Timeline
...
... We see that Abraham who was called
by God to become the Father of God's chosen people, was born around 2000
AA. If God's chosen people of that time period got from 2000 AA until
4000 AA which is 2000 years then that would suggest that 2000 years
would be given as the Time of the Gentiles as well.
In short, the Jewish people received a certain amount of time to choose
God, but chose their selfish ways instead and then Jesus was sent from
Heaven, but the Jewish people did not accept Him as Lord. Their time
period stopped. The Bible says that at this time all other nations and
races (Gentiles) would receive the same amount of time (2000 years) to
accept the Lord.
SEVENTIETH WEEK CONCERNS
70 WEEKS PROPHECY ON THE 70 WEEKS OF DANIEL DANGER
When the "Gentiles" time period ends, it will bring about the last
"week" or seven year period that we spoke of earlier. This 7 year period
of time is called ...The End Times.
It is interesting that in the book of
Revelation, the Antichrist reigns terror for 3½ years (Chapter 13) ...
The two witnesses prophecy for 3½ years (Chapter 11) ... AND, the
woman in the wilderness is hidden for 3½ years (Chapter 12) ... Is it
not coincidental that 3½ years is exactly half of 7 years?
It is obvious that the
End Times
are
split into two, 3½ year periods (the 7 remaining years from the 490
years). There will be an End Times
period for the Gentiles, then a gathering and "Rapture" of those
believing Christians.Then an End Times
period for the Israelites and a gathering and a "Rapture" for the Jewish
believers and those who became Christians during the second 3½ years.
|
Daniel 9:26-27
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. 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.
|
SEVENTIETH WEEK IS COMING
70 WEEKS PROPHECY ON THE 70 WEEKS OF DANIEL FALSE PEACE
This prophecy tells of "the people of
the prince that shall come" (Antichrist's empire) "confirming a
covenant" (deal or treaty) with Israel for 7 years, but will break the
covenant in the "midst" of the 7 years and set out to destroy Israel.
This simply means that many countries will "confirm" or agree with a
peace treaty made between Israel and another country and then break the
deal during the 7 year time period.
Coincidentally, MANY so called "peace
treaties" have been made between Israel and Palestine and other Muslim
nations brokered by the United States, United Nations and others. All
nations are involved and affected. Israel surrendered land to the
Palestinians (which God told them to NEVER do) as to obtain peace with it's
neighbors. It did NOT work.
|
Leviticus 25:23
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for
ye are strangers and sojourners with me. |
As they always have ... They disobeyed
yet ANOTHER of God's commands.
If so, beware any peace treaty made with Israel. This Seventieth Week Bible study on the 70 Weeks prophecy about the 70 weeks of Daniel story reveals that there is an event coming that brings on the End Times. Don't be scared. Be Prepared.
