The shepherde has shown you over ten times already... so o boy here we go again.
You showed no biblical truths I'm afraid.
Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy is a countdown until the Christ and the antichrist.
No its not. In the Bible there is the 2300 day/ year prophecy which was given to Daniel in vision. This is the longest time period prophecy in the Bible and it is the one that comes to the end of time.
"And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed” (
Daniel 8:14). The cleansing of the sanctuary means judgement and I explained it in greater detail according to the Bible in my
Heavenly Temple/Sanctuary thread. The sanctuary shall be cleansed in the end time period.
In
Daniel 9:24 the angel Gabriel explained to Daniel that 70 weeks/490 years were to be cut off, measured off, or appointed for God's people.
"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." To anoint the most holy means it was the beginning of Jesus' earthly ministry and He did that with His baptism.
This 490 year period was cut off from the the 2300 years mentioned in Daniel's vision. We know this because the Bible shows us that the 70 weeks are
“determined” or
“given” by God to His people. It shows us that the 70 weeks/490 years, are part of a longer time period. They are part of the 2,300 years of Daniel 8. So therefore the 490 years and the 2300 years have the same beginning. When was the beginning of the 2300 year time period? The angel Gabriel told Daniel in
Daniel 9:25,
"Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, Even in troublesome times." God's people were in captivity in the Persian empire at this time. The decree was made in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes. I'll leave the dates out of this for now.
Its important to note that the angel told Daniel in
verse 25,
"That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;" Those are 69 weeks altogether to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah who is obviously Jesus. Its not talking about His second coming here. Now 69 weeks in literal years is 483 years. That leaves 1 week or 7 literal years.
Gabriel continues to explain to Daniel what will happen in the middle of the last week in
verses 26 and 27.
"And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” Messiah being cut off is Jesus' crucifixion. The middle of 7 years is 31/2 years. Jesus's ministry on earth lasted 31/2 years and He was crucified. Bringing an end to sacrifice and offering means that Jesus' death had brought an end to the Jewish sacrificial system because that system was always about Jesus' death. He was now the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.
"who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself" (
Hebrews 7:27).
The last 31/2 days/years of the 70-week/490 year time period ends when Stephen is stoned to death. The Jews had collectively as a nation rejected God for the final time. All throughout the 490 year period they had rejected prophets and finally Christ. Jesus had told them before His crucifixion that the gospel was going to be preached to another nation (Gentiles) and they were no longer God's chosen people (
Matthew 21:43). They were no longer a special people. After Stephen's stoning, Jesus’ apostles and followers began to take the Gospel to the Gentiles. Paul, the one who consented to the stoning of Stephen, became the apostle to the Gentile world. Israel ceased to be the recipient of God’s truth.
2300 minus 490 leaves us with 1810 years. What does the Bible say about those remaining years. The vision Daniel had in chapter 8 is not only about the 2300 years. Gabriel told him,
"Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end. ... I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation. ... Therefore seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future” (
Daniel 8:17, 19, 26). Gabriel asserted that the 2,300-year vision involved events in the end time
NOT the 70 weeks/490 years. So we come back to the beginning,
“For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed” (
Daniel 8:14). As I said above I explained this in more detail in another thread but the sanctuary being cleansed means judgement. Its the day of atonement except in the heavenly temple it lasts longer. There is a judgement going on in heaven right now since we are living in the end time and have been for hundreds of years because the 1810 years ended about 300 years ago. That is why when Jesus returns the second time He will already know who is saved and who isn't.
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work” (
Revelation 22:12). This is truth of the Bible but it does need careful study with the help of the Holy Spirit. God bless.
