God Bless you Mr. Steve Gregg.
This is such a straightforward interpretation and explanation. No magical unannounced gaps. No pulling in of seemingly random interpretations of other passages. A plain and straightforward reading, with clear, straightforward reading of NT passages that record their fulfillment. Steve connected the OT & NT for me years ago, and it was amazing. This should have been easy, but the dispensationalists made it cloudy with their gobbledygook. I knew they didn't make sense, but I was at a point where I thought I I'd never understand much of prophecy.
I have a good friend who is Historic Premillennial and he says a lot of the same things as the Dispensationalists do. It's all wrong! I have come to despise all forms of premillennialism. I'm grateful for Steve Gregg's straightforward teaching on eschatology!
Amen, my brother. You are a great teacher of the word of God
Amen 🙏!
Next lecture: The 70 Weeks of Daniel, Part 2 - ruclips.net/video/Vzvk0c384Ck/видео.html
Agree respectfully, Steve. Fully fulfilled. If anything resembles dispensation it is a dual prophecy which may be interpreted using those first 7 weeks, which everyone ignores and to which an entire set of dualities (not ambiguities) seem to relate. On the time scale you present the anointed one after 7 weeks is Joshua, the High Priest. On another scale he may be the Mesiah, in which case the first 7 weeks equal the presented 70 weeks., with 63 yet to come. After all we do expect Christ to come a second time and we should find that in the prophesies too.
Yes, so many different understandings, each with a part of the truth. Allow me to share my current understanding. This perspective is aligned with the biblical narrative arc, proves the divine origin of the book of Daniel regardless of its date of authorship, and gives hope to the many struggling with their faith today. Think of the 70 sevens as a series of riddles that will each require a specific key to unlock their time elements of past, present, future. The first thing to consider is that the prophecy at its deepest and most profound level does not require that each successive verse be a continuation in non interrupted linear time, nor does it require each seven to be understood as a solar year.
In a nutshell, the two outside verses describe the allotted time of the children of Israel and then the allotted time of the children of the promise. The two middle verses describe the messiah that allows the two groups to merge into one, Jeremiah 31:31-37.
Verse 24 - Time period of the Jewish people, beginning at Mt Sinai to the consummation.
Verse 25 - The decree to the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The decree being found in Jeremiah 30:17-18
Verse 26 - The granting of letters to rebuild the wall to the crucifixion of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Nisan 445BC - Nisan 30AD
Verse 27 - Time period of the children of promise, from the promise to Abraham to the consummation.
Verse timing keys as I understand them to be.
Verse 24 - 70 sevens - each sevens being a Jubilee Cycle of 49 years.
Verse 25 - 7 sevens - each sevens being an 83 year period consisting of 7 orbital cycles of Jupiter, 49 cycles total.
Verse 26 - 62 sevens - each sevens representing 7 heliacal risings of Jupiter, 434 heliacal risings total.
Verse 27 - 1 seven - the seven representing the week of time containing 3920 years, each day consisting of 70 periods of the 8 year Earth/Venus cycle.
Please know that the ancients measured time by observing planetary cycles.
"Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name." Praise God!
Tldr: The 70 Weeks of Daniel were fulfilled by our Messiah's baptism, preaching, death and resurrection. There is no gap between the 69th and 70th week.
Daniel 9:26a says Jesus would die AFTER the 69 weeks was over so His ministry is IN the 70th week thus debunks an unfulfilled 70th week needing to be fulfilled still. Also the word cease in Hebrew in verse 27 is the word Shabat or Sabbath proving the pronoun ‘he’ in verse 27 is the Messiah putting the sacrifices to rest, not in any way speaking the he is a future antichrist. The pronoun he must point BACK to a noun and that leaves the Messiah and/or Titus. Jesus obviously
1. Put to rest the sacrifices by the sacrifice for himself. And
2. Came back with the armies of the Romans with Titus (Matthew 22:7) to destroy Jerusalem thus putting an end to the abominationS (plural) that the unsaved Jews were committing by going back to animal sacrifices and making sure they could never do it again. This happened again in AD 363.
I think Daniel 9:24-27 is very easy to interpret if it wasn’t for most of us having been brainwashed into dispensational theology when we were young Christians in Bible school. So glad the Lord brought me out of it and saw the murderous heart many teachers had instilled into my soul with their secular zionism. Dispensationalism really is a cult and i am not afraid to call it that anymore. Next to the denial of Jesus’ divinity, it is the most satanic doctrine ever brought into the church. Few are willing to call it that but all one has to do is look at the fruit since it came out..
Incorrect interpretation of Daniel 9:27,Christ is the one that fulfilled it.
@@hopenavajo1391 that is what I said. He fulfills all things.
Notice the prophecy is for THY people. Who were Daniel’s people? The Jews.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and ….
The end of the oikemune (age) in Matthew 24 was the end of the Jewish age but more accurately the old Mosaic covenant was done away with at the cross. Gentiles and Jews that are IN Christ are ONE people now. That prophecy was fully fulfilled by 3.5 years after Jesus rose from the dead.
If you read Bible commentaries by great teachers pre-1830 you will see they say some of the same things. There is NO antichrist or third temple mentioned in this passage. This was made up in the early 1800’s and is only taught and believed by western nation churches.
@@sacredcowtipper1378 so where is the other 3.5 years,when was it fulfilled. The destruction of Jerusalem occured in a.d. 70 by the Roman empire under General Titus.
@@hopenavajo1391 did you read my other comments. I explain that. Please read my other comments. From the resurrection of Jesus to the END OF PREACHING TO THE JEWS FIRST THROUGHOUT JUDEA WHICH WOULD HABE TAKEN ABOUT 3-4 YEARS ENDED THE 490 years. Remember the prophecy was 1. To the Jews, and 2. The gospel was to be preached to them first. Some put the stoning of Stephen at the end of last 3.5 years but I believe Stephen was stoned about a year or so after the resurrection. I believe when God called Peter to go the Gentiles by going to Cornelius was the end of the 70th week. We cant time it perfectly, the last 3.5 years but the reason I hold to that is for certain reasons.
1. Peter was the head pastor in Jerusalem. He established the church there. Jesus told him what? PETER DO YOU LOVE ME? FEED MY SHEEP. no
doubt he was the pastor/apostle. 3,000 were added to the church on the day of pentecost and they needed discipled.
2. James the brother of Jesus took over the church in Jerusalem when Peter began going to the Gentiles.
3. It was a common practice as you can see throughout the epistles and book of acts for apostles to go into an area, preach, win souls, and then stay for a season for a year or two to disciple the people and go back again to see how they were doing.
That is why I hold to the 490th year being completed when Peter went to Cornelius. The church in Jerusalem was established at that point.
Please read my other comments for more.
God bLess.
@@sacredcowtipper1378 you don't need to explain it,the other 3.5 were fulfilled by the disciples to preach to the lost sheep of Israel,starting at Jerusalem,Judea and Samaria. Three thousand Jews were converted after Peter's preaching. After the powerful preaching of Stephen,the Sanhedrin plugs it's ears and decided to stone Stephen and the rejection of the Gospels. The probation for the Jews ended in the fall of a.d. 34
So Romans 11 makes more sense in light of Daniel 9; "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins."...
WE 'the believers in Christ Jesus' are the Israel of God, through the tree [earthly Israel by way of Jesus] that Messiah came through but only with belief by faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah of both the Jews & the nations [whole world].
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6
@@MattKingsley-zy7dn No where does Paul call the church ‘the Israel of God’. Saved Jews are the Israel of God.
@@LifeandLifeMoreAbundantly Read your bible again from cover to cover.
Romans 9:6-7 " Not as though the word of God had taken no affect. For they are not all Israel which are of Israel."
Galatians 3:27-29
"For as many of you have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free. There is neither male and female for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if you be Christ's then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise."
The believers in God & Jesus Christ & His promises are the 'Israel of God'.
These are the true bride & the true Israel.
Christ the head - the bride the body.
Ephesians 5:22-33
The bible is one story His-story & it's about the believers verses non believers, where ever one is from or born.
Genesis 3:15 is about the 'woman' & her seed & the serpent & his seed.
The woman = faithful believers from Adam to the last person to be saved. Her SEED is Christ. Galatians 3:16
This was before the flood- before the nation of earthly Israel existed. 1st age.
verses The serpents seed = all non believers & non saved.
Matthew 13 & the parables of the Kingdom of heaven - wheat & tares - all kinds of fish
The field is the world/kosmos not just the ancient people of the promise. 2nd age.
Was Adan & Eve of Israel?
Was Enoch & Methuselah & Noah of the land of Israel?
Was Abraham of the nation of Israel?
Was Rahab the harlot of Jericho of Israel?
Yet she is mentioned in the hall of faith in Hebrews 11
God changed Jacob's name to Israel = people of God before there was an earthly nation.
God chose that nation to become a special people to represent Him on this earth.
Until Jesus Christ who is & was the promised SEED. 3rd age.
God chose that people & nation to bring about the Messiah of the world but only accepted the repentant believers.
It does not matter where or who you are from today. If you accept or reject Jesus Christ it is on that person & there are no longer any special people or nation unless you are born again by the Holy Spirit.
The true spiritual 'Israel of God' are the faithful believers in Jesus Christ.
One is either a sheep or a goat, this is not by birthright, this is by belief & faith.
When Moses wandered in the wilderness for 40 years it was because of the un-belief of the ones in the camp [the assembly], they all died off, they never entered the promised land.
Why?
Because of there un-belief.
But the next generation did enter the earthly promised land of Israel flowing with milk & honey with Joshua.
The earthly represents the true spiritual & just as there was once a promised land on this physical earth there is now a promised land in the kingdom of heaven.
An eternal land flowing with milk & honey but no longer on this earth.
This kingdom of heaven is outside of space & time but exists within our space & time for this current world until the last day, the day of the resurrection. John chapter 6
Read Matthew 23
Matthew 23:33 "You, snakes you brood of vipers how can you escape the damnation of Gehenna.?"
Jesus was talking to the scribes & pharisees from the pure line of the ancient Hebrew nation.
Deuteronomy chapters 28-32
Blessings & curses if they obeyed or disobeyed.
There are no true pure bloodline ancient Hebrew people of today. We are all intermixed.
Matthew 13:44
The Kingdom of heaven is likened unto a woman which hid 3 measures of meal until the whole was leavened.
3 ages.
We are presently in the Messianic reign of King Jesus. This current planet is destined to be burned up at the appearance of the King of kings & the resurrection of the just & the unjust.
2 Peter chapter 3
It's not about a 'so called special people'.
It's about a special Savior who came trough those ancient people of the old covenant.
You cannot stand before the King of Glory at the great white throne judgment and say; "But Jesus I have a special name that I call myself, therefore I am worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven."
"Depart from me all you workers of iniquity..." Matthew 7:23
Not possible.
For with out 'FAITH' it is impossible to please God.
@@MattKingsley-zy7dn If the separation began in the garden then why are you defining yourself as the Israel of God? Sounds like Israel is just a bump in the road of history.
And how do you explain modern Israel? Looks like Gods prophecy’s about them is happening right before our eyes. It certainly doesn’t look like He’s done with them.
Israel dominates the news across the globe; it’s not going to go away you know; it’s only the beginning.. of Jacobs trouble.
Based on Hebrews 12:22-24, the Messiah’s death in Daniel 9:26 cannot be separated from the New Covenant fulfilled by His blood at Calvary. See the words "church" and "mount Sion" and "new covenant" and "Jesus" and "blood" in the passage.
Are we supposed to believe the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel to reveal the timeline of the Messiah who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and then the angel failed to even mention the New Covenant. Or, is the covenant with the many in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the many in Matthew 26:28? The 1599 Geneva Bible is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America, before John Darby showed up on our shores about the time of the Civil War. What was the earlier understanding of Daniel 9:27 found below in the notes of the 1599 Geneva Bible?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan 9:27 And he shal confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate.
Daniel 9:27
And he (a) 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 (b) cease, (c) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
(a) By the preaching of the Gospel he affirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles.
(b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection.
(c) Meaning that Jerusalem and the sanctuary would be utterly destroyed because of their rebellion against God, and their idolatry: or as some read, that the plague will be so great, that they will all be astonished at them.
------------------------------------------------
During recent years many New Covenant scholars have examined Daniel chapter 9 from a New Covenant perspective. Did Christ fulfill the summary found in Daniel 9:24? Is it about the New Covenant fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary?
Dan 9:24 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.
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (These two verses are quoted from Jeremiah 31:31-34.)
Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Act 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
The death of the Messiah is found in Daniel 9:26, and there are only two possible singular antecedents for the word “he” in the next verse. Those antecedents are either Christ or Titus, who was the prince of the people that destroyed the temple during 70 AD.
Dan 9:26 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.
Dan 9:27 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.
Is the “he” in Daniel 9:27 the “Messiah”, or “the prince” of the people that destroyed the city and the sanctuary in verse 26? If we used “the people of the prince” it would not be a singular “he”.
Does the author of the Book of Hebrews connect the New Covenant with the Messiah’s death found in Daniel 9:26, in the verse below?
Heb 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (NKJV)
Verse 26 also says the Messiah would be cut off “after” the 69 weeks. If I agree to paint your house “after” 69 weeks, it will not be painted until the 70th week, or after. Is there a “gap” of almost 2,000 years between the 69th week and the 70th week, or was it fulfilled during the first century when the Gospel was preached “first” to the Jews?
We know there is a time period when the Gospel was taken “first” to the Jews, as the Apostle Paul said in the verse below.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
Can we find a time period of about seven years when the Gospel was taken “first” to Daniel’s people during the first century? If we can, we have good evidence that the 70th week of Daniel has already been fulfilled.
Did Christ command His disciples to take the Gospel only to Israel in the passage below?
Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
Is the time period when the Gospel was preached “first” (Rom. 1:16) to the Jews in the passage above, confirmed in the passage below?
Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Act 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
In the passage above Luke confirms the fact that the Gospel of Christ was preached throughout the land of Israel after the baptism which John preached. Here again, we have a text which reveals a time period when the Gospel was taken “first” to the Jews, as Paul said in Romans 1:16.
Bible scholars have looked at the number of Passover celebrations in the Gospels and have estimated Christ’s earthly ministry to have lasted about three and one half years. Was the Gospel taken “first” (Rom. 1:16) to the Jews for a period of about three and one half years during the period of time revealed in the Gospels?
In Galatians 1:14-18 Paul reveals he did not go up to see Peter until about 3 years after his conversion. During that time the Gospel continued to be taken almost exclusively to Daniel's people, before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles.
Watch the RUclips video on Daniel 9 by Dr. Kelly Varner.
Thank you for this comment.
I have a question(s).
Why did the apostles continue to take the gospels “almost exclusively” to the lost sheep of Israel after Matthew 28:19 ?
“Go therefore and make disciples in ALL nations”
What scriptures, can be found, that show us that the disciples (other than Paul) were teaching Gentiles ?
And, are there any scriptures (other than Paul’s writings) that show us the gospel to the Gentiles?
I ask because Christ gave this command to the 11 apostles, after his resurrection, but we only see 2 apostles, in later scripture, teaching Gentiles???
And then later Paul???
Thank you kindly, in advance, for your time to answer.

In Romans 1:16 the Apostle Paul said the Gospel went "first" to the Jews. This time period is found in Matt. 10:5-7, and Acts chapter 2, and Acts 10:36-38, and Galatians 1:14-18 where Paul revealed he went up to see Peter about 3 years after his conversion. This was the 70th week of Daniel. After that Peter took the Gospel to the house of Cornelius and then Paul took the Gospel to the Gentile world.
@@Come2besealed
Romans Chapter 11: In its New Covenant context... There is no Plan B of salvation outside of the New Covenant Church in this passage. Plan A is found in verses 23 and 24.
In Romans 1:16 Paul said the Gospel was taken "first" to the Jews. This time period can be found in Matt. 10:5-7, and Acts 10:36-38, and Gal. 1:14-18. Many try to claim God never gave the Jews a chance to accept Christ, so there must be some Plan B of salvation before or during the Second Coming of Christ. Romans 1:16 proves they are wrong, since Paul said the Gospel went "first" to the Jews. Many ignore the fact that Peter addressed the crowd as "men of Judea", and as "men of Israel", and as "all the house of Israel" on the Day of Pentecost, when about 3,000 Israelites accepted the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. The Gentiles were not grafted in until several years later. This passage proves Paul was right about the Gospel being taken "first" to the Jews.
Were all of the Israelites "partially" hardened in Romans 11, or were part hardened and another part were not hardened? The answer is found in the "remnant" of Romans 11:5.
Paul reveals two different groups of Israelites in Romans 9:6-8. There is an Israel of the promise, and an Israel of the flesh. This is part of the context of Romans 11.
Paul speaks about the "remnant" of Israel in Romans 9:27. This is also part of the context of Romans 11.
Paul starts Romans 11 with two different groups of Israelites. In verse one Paul reveals he is still an Israelite, even after his conversion. Then Paul refers to two different groups of Israelites during the time of Elijah. There were the Baal worshippers, and there was the faithful "remnant". In verse five Paul says there is also a faithful "remnant" of Israelites during his time. This must be the Israelites who have accepted Christ, as on the Day of Pentecost.
Paul uses the two olive trees as a symbol of the New Covenant Church made up of believing Israelites, and believing Gentiles grafted together into the same tree. The unbelieving Israelites have been broken off but can be grafted back in through faith in Christ in verses 23-24.
Verse 26 is the problem for many modern Christians. What does the verse actually say, and how is it changed by many in the modern Church.
I have heard two of our nations famous preachers say the following.
"And then all Israel will be saved..."
I have heard another say the following.
"And all Israel will be saved..."
What does God's Word, recorded by the Apostle Paul actually say?
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
The English word "so" is translated from the Greek word "houto", which is an adverb of manner, instead of an adverb of timing. Some have changed the word from "so" to "then", in order to change the meaning of the verse.
How will all of the "remnant" of Israel from Romans 9:27 be saved? The answer is found in the verses that precede verse 26 and are found below.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Paul quoted from the OT in referring to the Deliverer coming out of Sion to pay for sin. Did this happen at Calvary, or will Jesus die again for His people in the future?
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Verse 28 can only be understood by looking at how Paul started the passage. He started with two different groups of Israelites and he ends the passage in the same way. There are two different groups of "they" in verse 28. One group of "they" reject Christ and are the enemies of God, and another group of "they" are the election which accept Christ through hearing the Gospel and faith.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Based on Luke 21:24b-28, the times of the Gentiles comes to fullness at the Second Coming of Christ. This agrees with what Paul said in Romans 1:16 about the Gospel going “first” to the Jews.
@@SpotterVideo Yes, The Good News , and as Jesus Himself proclaimed "the kingdom is near/is at hand" proves how The Good News was proclaimed first to the Jews.
But, The Good News is for "both" the jew and gentile of 1st importance, being for "both" The Good News is The Power of God unto Salvation for those who believe.
See "both" in the greek in Romans 1.
See 1 Corinthians 15 of 1st/primary importance.
See the reconciliation in Ephesians 2.
Peter was the Apostle to the Gentiles. There are only 12 Apostles even to the end time of the new city. Rev 21:14.
Matthias replaced Judas. Acts 1
The Church at Ephesus was praised for testing Paul and finding him a liar. Rev 2:2
There is no record of anyone appointing Paul an Apostle. He appointed himself.
Paul admits Satan can appear as light. At least one thing he said was true.
Satan is clever and intelligent. He infiltrated the Church via Paul.
Many thousands of Jews were converted before Paul came on the scene. When he did, the Jews identified him as false because he was turning people away from obeying the Torah.
Paul admits to lying. He said he used cunning and deceit. He said one thing to Jews and another to Gentiles. He contradicted our Messiah and even himself. He twisted Scriptures.
Today most people do not obey Covenant Torah law because of Paul. They follow Paul instead of our Messiah.
Why were saints in the middle ages unclear on the endtimes? "and And I (Daniel) heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." Daniel 12
In contrast, John was told in Revelation 22:10, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near."
@@SteveGreggVideos Both are true; I trust you are okay with that, being that The Lord wanted both those scriptures written.
@@LifeandLifeMoreAbundantly Yes, both are true because the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy was far off (several hundred years), while the fulfillment of Revelation was within a couple years.
@@SteveGreggVideos We don’t see it that way; it seems plain as day to some that the Bible prophecies are unfolding before our eyes.
Was Jesus's ministry 3.5 years? It was referred to as "about a year" in ancient documents. Was it forced into 3.5 years by dispensationalists? Where is all the missing time in the new testament if it was 3.5 years?
Steve, what is a good English translation of the Septuagint?
www.matthew713.com/petersen/call/2016062305
I use the one on Bible Hub. It's called Brenton's I believe.
Is it possible that Jesus ministry only lasted one feast (moed ) cycle.
I haven't really done a study on that but have wondered about it.
Jesus' ministry lasted the 3 1/2 years as the book of Luke testifies in chronological order.
1x 7 week months, 62 week years, 1x week century’s = 1week plus 62 weeks plus one week. People have been failing to recognises each division represents another order of magnitude.
Add in the fudge factor of Cyrus /Persia, and no matter how you cut it it comes to the time when the word of God was becoming mangled by Rome. This mangling could be the misery foretold.
Dispensationalism likes the 360 day year calendar to enable the use of artaxerxes 2nd decree to come up with 173880 days etc...just thinking outloud here..isnt that time frame bogus?? because the hebrew calendar adds 2 week periods to the end of their calander every few years to put it back on pace with the the solar calander,,does anyone reading this follow me ?? Or does dispensationalism use the added weeks when trying to establish the 360 day calander..if they dont add the two week periods to the 490 year cycle of 360 days each..it would become failed logic at that point
I [Jason, who run this channel] have always wondered how a 360 day year could possibly work. In 18 years, you'd be off by a whole 90 days - a whole season off. I've never looked into it though.
@SteveGreggVideos I heard Michael Heiser talk about this several years ago. There were 2 different solar calenders. They knew the year was 365 days. They would add days in throughout the year. I'm not sure how the did that, or by what method they determined to add days, but they had a method of balancing it.
The dead sea scrolls found in the Qumran Caves...those people separated over the disagreement with the solar calendar.
@@Beetmagnet Thank you. So the dispensational lunar year argument is really not legit.
@SteveGreggVideos It's not remotely credible. That is the Robert Anderson idea that he put forth in his book The Coming Prince. If memory serves me he was positing a solar calendar. There are a few scholarly articles about the calendars, but it's been so long since I referenced them...I don't recall the lookup info.
The only way we will ever know the exact starting date for the 490 years is if someone digs up something new in an archeological site, or if time travel is invented.
Dispensationalism comes at it from a logical, mathmatical Western way of thinking, and it doesn't fit the near Eastern mode of writing. I don't see the type of chronological precision that some Dispensationalists claim. I see it more with theological precision. Some theologians claim that it was more of a symbolic time. For instance, the time in captivity was only 66 years and not 70. But the number 7 and 70 was theologically significant to the people of Israel, and the covenant.
I have never seen an accounting for the extra days. And of the 2 solar calenders, I haven't seen where they pick one or the other. That calender issue is a pit of despair. It cannot be solved. I looked into it years ago...bought a bunch of books...got frustrated, and left off from the issue. I know how it turned out.

Dan 9:24 Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your
* people and your holy city
* to finish transgression,
* to put an end to sin,
* to atone for wickedness,
* to bring in everlasting righteousness,
* to seal up vision and prophecy and
* to anoint the Most Holy Place.
So, if I understand you correctly, these things are have not been fulfilled, and will be 2000 years in the future?
They were fulfilled to that nation & that holy city 2000 years ago.
I can appreciate trying to look at scripture without bringing anything to the text and trying to see what you interpret. However, when you said God's righteousness is everlasting you lost me. It feels like you're trying to find anything to make it work. I'm not entirely done yet but Im really looking for what you tie the last week and he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. My guess is going to be something to do with the temple and destruction in 70AD.
Obviously, Jews have also came up with an interpretation to satisfy their needs. So its doable.
The Lord is at work Israel is being took to the courts for genocide now if you're understanding the Spirit of Prophecy it's the land which GOD is speaking of - Zechariah 14: (2); Ezekiel 38: (8), so I better understood Jesus' prophecy in Luke 21:(24) which is plain to see today the nationality that's over there isn't the covenant people, the Lord reveals so in the book of Matthew 23: (38) telling them their house meaning the Temple and their worship within it has been left desolate - Matthew 24: 1(2) and Jesus told His disciples that the Temple would be destroyed - 70 week prophecy had pass when Cyrus the great gave Ezra the order to rebuild the temple before Jesus' first coming and after His death vs26 of Daniel 9 and the Messiah shall be cut off - the crucifixion and Life cause now The Son of GOD is the Eternal High Priest King to come in His FATHER'S Glory. So the Zionist and all those who reject the Spirit of Prophecy which is the Lord - Revelation 19: (10 ) I'd rather not say yet I'll say their like a broken off branch from the vine.
Yep a broken off branch that has been replaced by Gentiles who boast about them being broken off and instead of making them jealous they basically just took over and are declaring a new sheriff is in town and they better smarten up if they want to find their place in their Own Natural ROOT
Instead God is doing a new thing and the Natural Roots are being replaced by the spiritually grafted in gentiles… it sounds like another spiritual genocide to me but what do I know ? When will you people go to the false Israel to make them jealous so they come back?
Or do you not have to because the world will get rid of them and why bother because wasn’t that why no one wanted them after the Holocaust?
… so in effect they were blinded so we could be spiritually grafted into the Natural Root that being Israel but not In a physical sense because God has already moved on From Physical Israel and the Spiritual Israel will be established where? In America? I hear many say God will restore America and use her to usher in the New Jerusalem where even the Angels will leave other countries because America is more important and worth fighting for over all other nations.. and all those other nations should pray their Angels leave them alone and go fight for America.
Future Third Temple in Israel - Revelation 11
1 "And there was given me(John) a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city(Jerusalem) shall they tread under foot forty and two months(3 1/2 years).
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth..."
That was the current temple standing in Jerusalem when Revelation was written.
@@SteveGreggVideos Hmm, another unique point of view to you. And the two witnesses, who/when are they?
Aside, all Christian teachers I’ve heard, who study end-times, see the Great Tribulation as last 3 1/2 years, or the second half of the 70th week of Daniel.
@@LifeandLifeMoreAbundantly The two witnesses is the church (see verse 4). John measured the second Temple which was still standing which would later be destroyed by the Gentiles along with Jerusalem (verse 2).

Arguments for a Late Date (A.D. 96)
As external evidence they point to the early church writers like Iraneus (Against Heresies 5.30.3), Victorinus of Pettau (Apocalypse 10.11), Eusebius (Ecclesiastical History 3.17-18), Clement of Alexandria (Quis Dives Salvetur 42), and Origen (Matthew 16.6) who all agree John wrote during the time of Domitian.1
Several of the churches addressed in the first three chapters had historical circumstances that do not match an early date for Revelation.
Several of the churches addressed had lost their ardor for Christ, and heresies had infected others. Churches usually do not lose their ardor or find heresies in their first generation.2
John calls Laodicia rich, but an earthquake almost leveled the city in A.D. 60. The city took many years to rebuild its wealth.
The church at Smyrna was not founded until A.D. 64, so it cannot have endured for a long time (as Revelation 2:8-11 seems to imply) if only three years old.3
The emperor worship described in chapters 13-20 matches best with Domitian.4 Though some earlier emperors proclaimed themselves gods, Domitian took the title "Lord and God," usurping kyrios a title of Christ.5
The use of "Babylon" as a code word for a city in Revelation points to Rome. Though early daters say Babylon refers to Jerusalem, 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, and The Sibylline Oracles all refer to Rome as Babylon. Jews and Christians linked the cities together because both powers had sacked the holy city.6
The Pauline epistles refer to several heretical groups but never to the heresies plaguing the churches of Asia Minor, the Nicolatians.
@@msudlp that’s not what the scriptures say in Rev 11.
Shalom! We are in the final 7. Soon the 144000(Remnant Bride), will be sealed. The AC, that 'wicked prince', is in Israel. He will seek to destroy them. Psalm 119 is a time frame for the end of days. The final 7 letters represent the 70th. Week, the 7 year Trib. Ayin, first of the 7, means eye, thus behold, and points to Rev. 6. Here is Wisdom - 70 years - 70 weeks of years - 7 year Trib- 49-50. 50 is the final 7.
You are totally brainwashed. How can you put a timed prophecy on hold? And exclude Jesus from the time of the prophesy? Typical Jewish fable.
