Subject: 70 Weeks of Daniel
Threescore means 60 or 60 years and we know that in Gods Word he refers to time in days, weeks, months,
and years but isn't exactly that time frame. I think God only wants us to know the season of the events that will
be the end of this Earth Age. Like in Mark 13:32 he says "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no,
not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." We could look at this literally and it would
fit, but look at the deeper meaning. What is the "day", the Lords Day, which you should know was Seven
Years in the scripture we are about to read in Daniel but got shortened to 5 months in Mark 13:20, and
Rev. 9:5. What is the "hour", the Hour of Temptation, Rev. 3:10, also refers to the 5 month period. So
obviously Seventy Weeks or Years are not just 490 years (7 x 70) but is a season of time.
Daniel 9:24
24. 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.
Comment: We know that at the end of the seventy weeks it is the end of this Earth Age. Thy holy city is
Jerusalem (Mount Zion) which is now under Muslim control and called the Dome of the Rock. Click to read
about this in the encyclopedia.
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.
Comment: In 538 BCE, after fifty years of Babylonian captivity, Persian King Cyrus the Great invited the Jews
to return to Judah to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple. Construction of the Second Temple was completed in
516 BCE, during the reign of Darius the Great, seventy years after the destruction of the First Temple. These
dates are given in the encyclopedia but in the Companion Bible the date to restore the Temple is 454 BC and
completed in 405 BC,
49 years or seven sevens (7 x 7). The reason for the 110 year gap is because some kings may have been in
power for only a month or two, but it is considered one King year, if you go through the Old Testament you will
find many kings were in power in Jerusalem for only a few months.
I happen to agree with Bullinger (Companion Bible).
26. 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.
Comment: So the commandment to restore the Temple was 454 BC unto the Messiah the Prince be cut off or
crucified is 29 AD.
So here is the break down: seven weeks + threescore and two weeks (7 + 60 + 2) = 69 weeks.
Now who are the people of the prince (lower case), these are none other than the Kenites who basically run
the Global community. When have they destroyed the "city and the sanctuary", well its going on right now, you
see God set up a people (Zionist) their in Jerusalem and they got taken over by heathens (Muslims), from 637
AD until now, 1371 years.
We know that God promised Noah he would never flood the Earth again with water, but as it is written in Rev.
12:15-16, he will let Satan flood the Earth or people with his lies, claiming to be God, 2Thess. 2:4.
Of course the war mention is both spiritual and literal. We have been at war with Muslim terrorists ironically.
27. 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.
Comment: Finally we come to the last week or the seventieth week or the last seven years, which is shortened
to 5 months. Now he says in the midst of the week, which is half of the
5 months, which is 2 1/2 months, the sacrifice and the oblation will cease, This is when Satan actually
appears in the sight of men claiming to be God and the worship of the true Christ ends because they think
Satan is God. This is yet future and many events will transpire to mark this time period and no one can set a
date like some have tried and have made fools of themselves.
If you simply watch the world around us and read scripture it falls into place after the fact not before. For
example, we are starting to have problems with Russia, Iran and ironically the Republic of Georgia (Caucasus
Mountains) where we get our racial identification as Caucasians.
Never before have these events transpired so I would say, be patient God knows what He is doing.
