The writers of the New Testament did not write about Jesus fulfilling Dan9:24-27 because it was not revealed to them, "seal up the book..for it is not for you to know Daniel it is for an appointed time at the end of days ".....
@DavidKing-qd3sp LOL...Mark 1:15 proves the Prophet Daniel is right...Mark is simply confirming the New Covenant being fullfilled through the Life of His Messiah as stated in the 6 things GOD accomplishes through the Lufe of Jesus in Dan 9:24
@DavidKing-qd3sp God finishes the transgression by sending His Messiah to pay the penalty for Israels TRansgression of the Law...LOL...the trangression is finished at the cross...cmon..is your brain not working?
Watched this one again (3 months after my comment below ), as I am now viewing all your Daniel videos in order. ..... I definitely grasped the content better this time! And Wow!, I had forgotten your conclusion. I love it. Love your honesty. 🤗 I think that ‘because’ you conclude with “I don’t know, but neither does anyone else,” gives major credentials to your final analysis. The Dispensationalists are coming to the table with a point to prove; you simply want to decipher what the text is saying.
Appreciate that Freedom. I remember when I made that video I felt a bit disappointed that I couldn't solve everything for my audience. But the truth is this passage is plagued by a lack of candor from its interpreters. Just an honest assessment is a step in the right direction
The book of Daniel is 95% understood by scholars and the 5% which sits in the shadows can be surmised by the texts in Revelation that deal with persecution of the church . The only texts that are considered challenging are those in Daniel 11: 40-45, the rest is known. Daniel is told in 12: 4 to shut up the book and seal it until the time of the end - we are in the end since 1798.
if scripture was written for us then i would say they were written to us as any other generation..but what is your point ....few people understans daniel 9...some are really close as this person
No, He fulfilled the 69th week( 62 and 7). The 70th week is the seven year period of the Tribulation and antichrist which is still to come. There is a gap between the 69th and 70th weeks called the Church age.
Man you've got some good content, not only hours upon hours of deep study but the editing and visualization are great too. Good job, Sounds like you got some Kingdom Man in you too 😁
I appreciate the kind words. When I started this thing, and throughout the process of dropping these videos, I have not really had any way to promote it, grow it. So, I just put it out there and see what happens.
I applaud the video for making clear that there are various issues with various interpretations instead of transport a false security of the one correct interpretation.
Thank you Justin for the time to prepare an open and honest video. I believe we each have been given a little piece of understanding and no one alone has this all figured out. Perhaps a day will come when those of us interested in prophetic timing can discuss, share, and pool our collective insights and increase our knowledge in the process without letting our intellectual pride block the way. After all, any wisdom or insight we might possess comes through the grace and mercy of the Father. I will share my current understanding of Daniel 9. I believe it to be a multi layered prophecy with messages to both people of the book, the physical descendants of Abraham as well as the spiritual descendants, Christ being the bridge between the two. I believe the top layer is a historical layer measured in the cycle of Jubilee, of which there will be 70 for the Jewish people, seventy “sevens”. These are not measured from Daniel’s time forward, but are measured as in Revelation “that which was, that which is, and that which is to come, spanning from the first Jubilee in Joshua’s days to the final Jubilee. I’m assuming that what is spoken by Isaiah to King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:29 is referencing a Sabbath year followed by a Jubilee year. Sabbath year, Nisan 701 bc to Nisan 700 bc / Jubilee year Nisan 700 bc to Nisan 699 bc. If that is true, then counting back to find the start, then counting forward. 7 until an anointed one - King David, 62 more until an anointed one “governor” is cut off - Yitshak Rabin 1 left after then, the mid point quickly approaching The 1260 days of Revelation fit perfectly with the above Jubilee cycle. In fact the way I understand these 1260 days to be measured there were 1211 between the ascension of Jesus to the Jewish army taking control of the Temple Mount on 6/7/1967. Yitshak Rabin being the chief of staff of the IDF forces at that time. That left 49 days As I said, this is just one layer of Daniel 9, the Jewish historical layer. Thank you for allowing me to post this.
I appreciate the tone of your post. Decent dialogue is hard to come by on the Internet, especially when talking about books like Daniel and Revelation! The 1290 days of Daniel becomes 1260 days in Revelation. This is to conform the number to a rectangular number. I explain all this in my videos on Revelation. I recommend checking out some of my stuff from Revelation 11. Blessings
Have you given any thought to the possibility that when the unbelieving nation of Judah was let go at the end of Acts, that all of their end time prophecy was also let go? Do we ever see Paul in his post-Acts epistles reiterating the restoration of the kingdom to the (formerly) chosen people; or instead do we see Paul declare a kingdom with the name of the Son of God on it (Colossians 1:13 KJV) and not theirs? The original Jews began to die off and the Jews that established modern Israel in 1948 were the descendants of Eastern European Gentiles that chose to convert to Judaism a few centuries ago. Is it logical that God would fulfill prophecy with people that have simply co-opted the identity of the original chosen people?
I think the decree of 457ish to Ezra best fits the propecy because within the decree, Ezra is authorized to appoint magistrates and civil officers who had power to execute judgements up to death or banishment. This would restore the city as a political entity. The end of the first 7 of 7s could take us to about 410 or 409 BCE which may coincide with the death of the last Old Testament prophet, Nehemiah or Malachi. There would then be 434 years until John (27 CE?) who prepared the way and would anoint the Messiah (baptize) after the 69 weeks, in the 15 year of Tiberius, Luke 3 (depending on whether you count his 2 year co-regency beginning in 12 CE, or his sole regency in 14 CE). Christ then confirms the covenant with Israel for one week; half in person until he ends sacrifice with his crusifix, and half through his apostles until Acts 7-10: Philip baptising the Ethiopian eunuch; Stephens martyrdom; Peters dream of the unclean beasts and subsequent baptism of Cornelius; the conversion and baptism and mission of Paul primarily to gentiles. These events complete the 70th week and open the covenant to the gentiles. The destruction of the temple and city would come after the close of the 70th week as a sign to Judah that Messiah had come and as a desolation for continued abomination of blood sacrifices in a temple (house) and by a people (house) Christ had declared "desolate" on his final exit from the temple at the end of Matthew 23. And the desolation would continue until HE restores the house in Jerusalem (Malachi 3:3-4) once he has purified the sons of Levi. But I could be wrong....
.....you are right about 457 as the starting date for the decree . The 490 years tell us that Christ would be baptized in 27 Ad crucified in 31 and then the 490 end in 34 Ad with the stoning of Stephen. It also tells us that in 34 the Jews would no longer be God's chosen nation for bringing the Gospel to the world, this is also told in the parable of Mt. 21: 33-44, verse 33 says the kingdom will be taken from you...but what is more interesting is that the word determined in 9.24 means -cut off, so they were cut off from the 2300 days of Daniel 8. 14, which has the same starting date as does the 70 weeks as one is not given for the 2300. So 2300 beyond 457 tales us to 1844 Ad that is when Christ began cleansing the heavenly sanctuary otherwise known as the day of atonement or the day of judgment, so in 1844 Christ began judging the world for rewards or punishment, which means we are very near the end.
The call to rebuild Jerusalem's walls and streets came on March 14, 445 B.C. When you do the math ( converting from a prophetic year of 360 days to 365 days, and adding 116 days for each leap year, and counting 1B.C. to 1 A.D. as only one year not two) you end up at April 6th 32 A.D. when Messiah was "cut off" . Jesus made a reference to the 69th week during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem in Luke's gospel when He said " If you, even you had known what day this is and the things that make for peace...".
Thank you for this comment. A few initial thoughts. The first of which is just to highlight that 444 is an option for the walls and streets as I noted in the presentations, and thus we are unsure that 445 is correct. Also, there are other proposed starting points that may account for the data better (see the previous video in this series). One other thought concenrs the 32 AD date for the crucifixion. Most historians place it on 30 or 33 due to the perceived need, based on the gospels, to have Jesus crucified on a Passover Friday. If this is right, 32 is not a viable year.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 We actually are sure that March 14 ,445 B.C. is correct because archeologists have record of the decree written by Artaxerxes.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 According to Dr. Randall Price, the world expert on Biblical archeology the declaration came on March 14, 445 B.C....there is no question about this because they have found the records wherein the date of the declaration was recorded.
@@markanthony3275 Is Price the world expert? I read his big book on the temple in BIble prophecy. I was no aware there was any such thing as a world expert on this. If there was, I assure you he wouldn't teach at DTS. I would direct you to the Word Biblical Commentary by Goldengay. God bless and good night
The 70th week of Jesus’ ministry includes the last 3 1/2 years of His life and the 3 1/2 years that the Jews had to repent until Stephan’s stoning in 34 AD. It’s easy to figure out. Why are people having trouble figuring this out? The math all adds up.
I think the reason it doesn't strike people as so obvious is because the prophecy says the city is destroyed after the first three and a half years, and this didn't happen in the decade of Jesus' dead, and the final seven years is the sanctification of the city, which certainly didn't happen at the time of Stephen's stoning. In order for your theory to be "easy to figure out," it must have some remote correspondence with the predictions of the prophecy.
Thanks for replying. The prophecy is talking about the generation of Jesus. A generation could be up to 40 years so 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed was still within the generation of the people who heard the message.
70 weeks were determined for the Jews to turn around. They didn’t so Jerusalem was destroyed within a generation. 34 AD was the final date for Jewish probation. They turned on Stephan In one final act of rebellion thus sealing their fate. The end of the 70 weeks was 34 AD. Then the message went to the Gentiles.
@@davidjohnson3095 But 490 years was not for the Jews to turn around, but until the restoration of the temple, the city, and the forgiveness of sin, and for sealing up the prophecy of the Exile's end, as Gabriel explains in Daniel 9. How the gospel turning from Jew to Gentile has anything to do with Daniel 9 is perplexing; the prophecy itself does not mention that. It mentions, in the final week, a covenant maker being cut off at the time the temple and city are desolated, and then the city being restored and the bad guy being taken out three and a half years later. I know the Stephen view is out there, but I have a very hard time seeing its correspondence with the data in Daniel 9
It says in Daniel 9 that 490 years was given to the Jews to make reconciliation for iniquity. There is nothing in Daniel 9:24 to 27 about an evil figure. It’s all about Christ. Christ is the one who makes the covenant with many and then is crucified halfway through the final week.
I am referring to the start date of the ''rebuilding'' of Jerusalem. Nehemiah asked if he could go back because he heard that the city lay in ruins. He was given this information in the 20th year of Artexerxes which was 445 BC. Subtract 483 - 445 = 38.................but we must subtract 1 year because there is no time space between BC and AD. Jesus did not appear in 38 AD he was killed then. Just after Jesus died, this same year, Pontius Pilate was called back to Rome, by Tiberius Caesar, who actually also died the same year. Check it out.
Norman - Nehemiah's decree was not a decree it was the granting of a request by Nehemiah -all other decrees start by saying - I make a decree except for the one for 445 Bc...so 457 is the proper date
Hello Illinois, I actually covered that perspective in my previous video (I made three videos on the 490-year prophecy). It's not a perfect theory but it does have some considerable merit.
At 30.41 he quotes Neh. 2" 8 & 17 ....the texts says he granted me my request - therefore there were not 4 decrees for what is assumed to be a decree is actually a "request." The other 3 decrees start out by saying - I make a decree - so there are only 3 and the proper date for it is 457 BC...that takes you to his baptism - crucifixion and the end of the 70 week period. Any other date would put you about 10-70 years outside the time of his baptism in 27 AD...and the 490 day / years are cut off from the 2300 in Daniel 8.14....every commentator will say Christ was crucified about 30-34 Ad...but the correct date is 31...
Say, since the prophesy is about Jesus, instead of tracing Mary’s time of uncleanliness & purification it would be more appropriate to indicate that Jesus was crucified (cut off) in 33 A.D. by which time he was 40 years old.
John, my understanding is that those who see the 490 days in Jesus' infancy as indicative of Daniel 9 see it as a preamble to Jesus' adult story. They see the 490 years as culminating with him being cut off, but the 490-day chronology is meant to forecast what is eventually fulfilled by the entirety of the Christ Event.
Hello...this is very interesting and I appreciate your providing a balanced perspective showing strengths and weaknesses. You mentioned somewhen in an earlier video a good book regarding the Maccabean period. I believe you said it was fictional but historical accurate. Would you share that title again as I have not been able to find it. Thanks.
Hi Natalie, no but I should have! I have a lot to say on those topics, some of which is meant to elucidate the meaning and function of Sabbath and festivals, and some of which is meant as a corrective to the way those things are commonly taught these days. But I don't have anything on here I don't think. Come to think of it, I have one video on Torah and the angels that is a corrective to the messianic movement. But unfortunately I don't have a video that explores the topic from a more positive angle.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 thank you for your response! 🙏 yes there are o many movement who say these things are for today And I have looked very In depths from both angles and I can see how both sides believe the way they do But I know that 1 or the other is right not both of them. Lol, I guess it just boils down to the fact that everyone has and idea of salvation and what grace truly is and is not and New Cov understanding according to mans interp or God's/the Word. We must each work out our own salvation with fear and trembling thats for sure. Thank you and God Bless 🙏
Justin, I admire your ability to respond kindly to unkind comments. I will admit this Dan 9 prophecy is hard for me to align with history, and I have been watching Tubes that have it "all figured out". Your video was refreshing because you considered the possibilities rather than the "clear" answer that others comment, but they havent produced a video to explain it. I also appreciate your answering the comments, which some YT have comments turned off. this shows me you are open to discussion and perhaps solving the riddle crowd sourcing. I wonder if Isaiah's Chs 44-5 mention of Cyrus, 2chr36:22-3 words to Cyrus, Ezra 1:1-4 and 6:1-12 words to Cyrus, indicate we should "try-on" a Cyrus timeline. Also, no gaps, but what if "respectively speaking" the first 7wks. are to the rebuilt temple, then the 62 weeks are from the anointing of the temple to Messiah the Prince in some period, Holy Spirit anointing at baptism could be a specific event target . John 2:20 has some greek variations, but if 46 years to build, that is close to 49 from decree to completion? Please forgive my naiveté. also the people of the prince that will come shall destroy the sanctuary. same prince (jews involved), different prince (romans 70AD)
I appreciate the kind words. Sometimes it kind of trips me out how rude Christian viewers can be. Calm commentators are always welcome. I like your idea but if the final seven years of the timeline begins with the baptism are you going to posit a seven-year ministry of Jesus? And again, thank you for the support. As you can tell I've had a hard time getting this channel off the ground.
@@joshuapillai9814 I would have difficulty with the notion that the seven weeks refers to the renovations. I don't recall what Fredrick's view did with the sixty-two sevens or the final seven. The sixty-two sevens requires construction of the city in hard times. Jerusalem was wasted for most of the period following Jesus' generation. If Fredrick's view involves a parenthesis (sixty-two sevens pass, then the clock stops for a long time, then the seven kick in later) that will be a form of special pleading akin to Dispensationalism. Of course I am probably speaking out of hand since I do not recall the other components of that view, but regarding the first set of sevens, it seems clear to me that the order to rebuild the temple is the end of Jewish exile, not the beginning of an architectural upgrade by a king in a city that has long since been reinhabited.
I’m one of those formerly brainwashed Mid Acts dispys who wrote a novel about the “rapture” and the trib/second coming! Like E.W. Bullinger, I have recanted my work and I hope my book has not done too much damage! It does have several presentations of the saving gospel of Jesus Christ so it has some redeeming value (forgive the pun)!
@@DavidKing-qd3spYou want me to learn from a possibly demon-possessed woman that claimed she was instructed by an angel from God, first that God commanded her and her church to observe the Sabbath from 6 pm Friday to 6 pm Saturday, and then some years later the angel CORRECTED that to from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday as it was observed by the Hebrews. So who made that blunder? God or the angel? And you want me to respect the written words of a woman that was proven to have plagiarized 90% of her works? I passed a SDA booth at our State Fair a few years back and the nice young man at a table full of printed material called out to me, when he saw me perusing it, "Would you like to buy the "complete words of Ellen G. White"? I said rather loudly, "Can I just get the 10% that she actually wrote herself - it'll be easier to carry!" He got red in the face and said, "Please move along..." Then we have the little matter of her prophecies of which not a single one has ever come true. And her racist and just plain silly blunders like saying that wearing wigs causes insanity, and that black people are an "amalgamation between humans and apes." That last one has been frantically expunged from the public record but there is still plenty of evidence that she said it; it's locked in the SDA vault along with other embarrassing gaffes she made, like the time she told the women in her church that God had ordered her through the angel that modesty required all of the women (who were wearing floor length dresses already), to wear men's trousers under their skirts and she began doing so along with all the ladies in her church. They began doing it in the autumn and they probably appreciated the extra warmth in the winter and early spring, but when the weather grew very warm the slacks were increasingly uncomfortable. EGW was the first to quietly stop wearing them and the ladies in her church quickly followed, with no one, especially EGW ever mentioning it again. The silliest doctrine of all that the SDA teaches is the "Investigative Judgment," which is like the Candid Camera of religion because "When you least expect it, you're elected - but it's not your lucky day (unless you happen to be in a coma)!" Jesus chooses a random day in your life and it is on that day - and that day alone - to judge you to see if you are found worthy of receiving eternal life. And that one day decides your eternal destination no matter how good or bad your behavior is afterward! Just knowing that there's a secret day you'll be judged really keeps you on your toes, doesn't it? I'm sorry that you are caught in Ellen's web and that you are choosing not to simply place your faith in our Saviour, Jesus Christ, that he has done everything necessary to grant you eternal life as a free gift (Eph 2:8 & 9) that can never be forfeited for any reason, not even terrible sins (Eph 4:30 KJV), because part of that gift is the "forgiveness of sins," (Col 1:14 KJV). There is no judgment for those that have Christ's righteousness replacing their failing self-righteousness; we have the righteousness of God in Christ! Now isn't that better than believing someone that prophesied that Jerusalem would never be inhabited or built up again? Someone that forbid her church from eating shellfish while, according to a letter her son wrote to a friend, she closed herself into her library every Sunday afternoon and slurped oysters from the shell in secret!
@ScriptureThroughAncientEyes Thank you for the detailed video. What bible verses say that the temple is to be destroyed during the 490 year timeline as you pointed out? Thanks and keep up the good content.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 All the chronologies are incorrect because they ignore the clear proof of scripture concerning when the 490 years are to begin. They begin with the decree of King Cyrus and NOT ArtaXerxes or any other. We will prove this scripturally beyond a shadow of a doubt in the following scriptures below: *ISAIAH 44:24-28:* 24 “This is what the Lord says-your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself, 25 who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense, *26 who carries out the words of his servants and FULFILLS THE PREDICTIONS OF HIS MESSENGERS,* *who says of Jerusalem, ‘It shall be inhabited,’ of the towns of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,’ and of their ruins, ‘I will restore them,’* 27 who says to the watery deep, ‘Be dry, and I will dry up your streams,’ *28 WHO SAYS OF CYRUS, ‘He is my shepherd and WILL ACCOMPLISH all that I please;* *HE WILL SAY TO JERUSALEM, “LET IT BE REBUILT,” and of the temple, “Let its foundations be laid.”’* *ISAIAH 45:13* *I WILL RAISE UP CYRUS* in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. *HE WILL REBUILD MY CITY* and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, *says the Lord Almighty.”* *EZRA 1:1-2* *Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; AND HE HATH CHARGED ME TO BUILD HIM AN HOUSE IN JERUSALEM, which is in Judah.* RECORDED IN THE HISTORY OF JOSEPHUS WE FIND THAT CYRUS WROTE THROUGHOUT ALL HIS DOMINIONS THAT: "God almighty hath appointed me to be King of the habitable earth" AND THAT "He indeed foretold my name by the prophets, and that I should build him a House in Jerusalem which is in the country of Judea." Josephus goes on to say that, when Cyrus had heard the words of the prophet Isaiah, "He called for the most eminent Jews in Babylon and said to them that he gave them leave to go back to their own country, *and TO REBUILD THEIR CITY JERUSALEM & THE TEMPLE OF GOD."* Josephus also gives a copy of a letter written by Cyrus to governors that were in Syria which read as follows: ""King Cyrus to the Sisinnes & Sathrabuzzanes sendeth greeting. I have given leave to as many of the Jews that dwell in my country as please (to do so) to return to their own country, and *TO REBUILD THE CITY, AND TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE OF GOD AT JERUSALEM* on the same plaece where it was before." (Antiquities Book XI, Chapter 1, Section 1 & 3) The proof that the rebuilding of the city by the decree of Cyrus is so conclusive, that Prideaux (one of the leading commentators on Daniel) bluntly admits that "Jerusalem was rebuilt by virtue of the decree granted by Cyrus in the first year of his reign." Yet Prideaux rejects the decree of Cyrus as the starting point of the 70 weeks prophecy, simply because he shared the mistaken idea (for which there's NO PROOF of any kind) that 490 years wouldn't reach to the the days of Christ from the decree of Cyrus. The fact is that Prideaux admits, that to take ANY OTHER EVENT AS THE STARTING POINT, OTHER THAN THE DECREE OF CYRUS, IS TO FALSIFY THE PROPHECY. It's a choice between the clear statements of the Word of God, and the guesses of heathen historians and astronomers. This is for the benefit of those that accept the Word of God as conclusive. *It's true that in the statement of Ezra 1:1-4, the rebuilding of the City isn't specifically mentioned, but that emission HAS NO GROUNDS for assuming that the decree of Cyrus DID NOT PROVIDE FOR THE REBUILDING OF THE CITY, much less does it afford REASON FOR SETTING ASIDE THE WORD OF THE LORD SPOKEN BY ISAIAH.*
The Israelites never used a pure lunar calendar. While they were in the Holy Land the Priests would observe the barley crop and would add an extra lunar month to the year whenever the crop wasn't ripe in order to indicate the arrival of spring. They did this to make sure that Passover came after the start of spring. During the Babylonian captivity the Jews devised a 19 year cycle that added leap months on a set schedule so Passover was kept in the spring. Normal Hebrew years could be 353, 354 or 355 days (since days were added so the new moon fell on the 1st day of the week so a weekly sabbath and a Holy Day sabbath never fell back to back to give a 48 hour sabbath). But, in a leap year an extra 29 or 30 days would be added. The combination of normal and leap years in the 19 year cycle meant that 19 lunar month years would have the same number of days as 19 solar years.
Patriot, we are agreed that after adjustments are made, adding extra days to re-align the seasons, the additional days can square with a solar calendar. However, whether or not Daniel's prophecy accounts for these (extra-biblical) though necessary adjustments to the biblical calendar is debatable. The strictly solar calendar needed to sustain Enochic connections, if that is what you are commenting on, is hard to sustain. And much of what we think we know about Jewish calendrical practices in the exilic and pre-exilic periods is speculative or extrapolated on the basis of later Rabbinic texts. I don't know which specific bit of the presentation you are responding to but I regard hard claims about early Israelite calendrical practices with caution because scholars are not agreed, especially when it comes to Daniel's prophetic years as to whether leap months should be added, or precisely how they would have been rendered.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 I think that you mentioned that with the 7wk (49 yrs), that there was a follow-up video on the Jubilee, or on what some scholars have the Jubilee theory. At least that what I thought you said, but I can't quite recall myself. Sorry about that! I do believe that the 49 years serves as a 2nd witness to Daniel's 70th week as it makes no sense with the 49 yrs + 434 yrs to me. God is not the author of confusion, and would have just said 69 weeks, in my humble opinion. Also, with the mention that after 62 weeks, the anointed one is cut off. I've been working this timeline for some time. But I do think that I have the full Revelation Seals/Trumpets timeline in-terms of days determined from the Great Pyramid per Isa. 19:19-20. However, not what will transpire, nor the timing of it, although I do think that we are getting closer. I have my guesses on them, and beliefs on what the Seals/Trumpets may be. However, I do believe as we approach Christ's second coming, it will be revealed as the Holy spirit pours our prophecy on mankind. But anyhow, I digress...but I do think you've provided the most comprehensive explanation for Daniel 9, and I believe it is amazing. :-)
@@ecrusymphony Hey I watched that part of the video. I mention another video, the one on the 70 weeks as it pertains to the Jewish Revolt. This was close to the time I mention Jubilees and the solar calendar, but I did not say I had a video on Jubilees. I think you might have had a small mix up. No big deal! :) Wish I did have a video on Jubilees
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Oh sorry about the mix up on my behalf! :-( But do you think that the 49 yrs are pointing to a Jubilee as well as the Daniel timeline? I'm learning quite of bit from seeing another perspective as you tend to get caught-up with your own views. :-)
@@ecrusymphony Yes, I have three videos on the 70 weeks of years. This is the third one. On the first one I discuss Jubilee. Perhaps that is the one you heard me refer to now that I think about it. Just click on my name and go to the Daniel playlist. It is the first video on Daniel 9 :)
I started watching this thinking I was gonna really learn something now I'm more disappointed that he doesn't know either. Then I read through the entire comment section which was some real work just so I could get even more confused.😂
You are not alone! I had a friend call me on the phone the other day and say the same things about this lesson. My job here is to prevent premature confidence about Daniel 9, not to lay hold of it myself! :)
Thank you so much for the excellent teaching and the well made video. This video is exactly what I’ve been looking for as I have been searching for answers to many questions. I found your channel today, and look forward to learning from your other videos.
Mom For Freedom, I appreciate the kind words. I wanted to bring university-level biblical studies to my RUclips channel.

Also interesting to read Daniel 9 v 27 in the Septuagint and read the week is a covenant made for a many and to consider that punctuation may have been different in original text. Also to consider Jesus tie ins for Matthew 24 v 2 and verse 15.
Septuagint suggests that the present Masoretic punctuation is not right. Sep. definitely combines the forty-nine and four hundred and thirty-four years as preceding the appearance of a single anointed figure.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 M.T. could have the Anti Christian bias as you have said as in particular the flood date in Septuagint is much earlier than M.T. and matches history better. DSS seems to suggest there were older manuscripts of variance we don't know about as Josephus has an earlier flood date too.

( KJV ) 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. " In the Torah it reads " from the going forth of the word " . The English KJV reads " from the going forth of the command " which is the word. Both the Torah and the English KJV read " unto the Messiah the Prince " Which is speaking of his appearance to Israel. ( KJV ) Daniel 9: 26 : And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off " etc Note the word " after " which means after the prophecy has been fulfilled he would be cut off. Concerning why Gabriel broke down the numbers the way he did , I think you are correct in thinking that the " seven weeks " he separated as reference to Jubilee cycles which references God's calendar. I think that the God who knows the end to the beginning has revealed Gabriel's \ Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy within the very first sentence of the Torah. The book of Jubilees which God revealed to Moses is God's yearly calendar. He teaches us how he keeps track of literal years within the earthly realm. In the book of Genesis God confirms the number of years that Adam lived and teaches us his view of the patriarch's lives according to symbolic numbers \ years which to God are more important than literal years. Understanding this and also understanding that the old Testament ( Torah ) was written in God's Hebrew language which was \ is a numeric language we see that the God who knows the end to the beginning started it by writing ...... " בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים וא ת הארץ " " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth " Numeric value = 2701 2701 breaks down as 37 x 73. The number 3 represents Gods divine perfection , the number 7 represents God's divine completion. The number 37 represents God's divine perfection completed. The number 73 represents God's divine completion perfected. If we place the numbers 37 and 73 together to make the number 3773 ? The numeric value in God's Hebrew language for the word " אמת " which means " Truth " = 3773. The number 3773 breaks down as 7 x 7 x 77. I don't think these numbers are by accident , but what could they mean ? Well , God has shown us that he has a calendar. His calendar started on day \ year 1 of creation and consist of 49 year cycles. There was a 7th day of a 7th week of a 77th Jubilee cycle. It was the last year ( Jubilee year ) of the 77th cycle. 77 cycles x 49 years = the Hebrew year 3773. Did anything significant happen in the Hebrew year 3773 ? In the Hebrew year 3773 was the Roman Gregorian year 13 AD. The answer is Yes, God put on flesh and blood and was walking on the face of the earth in the Hebrew year 3773. I believe that it is clear as crystal that Yeshua was 12 years of age in the year 3773 , and it was the fulfillment of Gabriel's prophecy which he gave Daniel in Babylon , the 483 years from the word to the appearance of the Messiah to Israel. It fits like a glove. ruclips.net/video/4xGMRs-fZ7k/видео.html Traditional Christian teachings want to tells us that this could not be because of what the book of Ezra teaches us about King Cyrus decree. The Torah tells us that Gabriel told Danial that the clock to start the count down to the appearance of the Jewish Messiah would start upon the "word" given that Jerusalem would be rebuilt and the KJV Bible tells us it was upon the "command" . Neither use the word "decree" . Although God did say in advance ( Ezra ) that He would use King Cyrus to rebuild Jerusalem , I don't think God would leave it up to an earthly King ( man ) to decide when to start the count down ( clock ) to the greatest prophesy in the history of history. Could God have put the word on the lips of King Cyrus ? Of course he could , He can do anything He wants. But according to God's numbers the word was spoken in the Hebrew year 3290 ( 470 BC ) we know this because of the year which the prophecy was fulfilled was the Hebrew year 3773. Shalom ✌
Based on Matthew 10:5-7, and Romans 1:16, and Galatians 1:14-18, the Gospel was taken "first" to Daniel's people for a period of about seven years, before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles.
SpotterVideo - The best part of this video is between 35:50 and 37:07 which shows that God will "leave them without an excuse." Daniel prophesied about Messiah as the "Suffering Servant" aspect first; his "Kingship" per se was not an issue with Daniel. You are correct in that "first" God had to deal with His people, the "Children of Israel" up UNTIL the stoning of Stephen. The 490 years of "determination" were ENDED but that did not mean He would no longer establish His rule on Earth via His son the Lord Jesus Christ, which is YET to be FULFILLED. In the mean time God has been calling out a people for His name via Grace through Faith in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and his ATONING/RECONCILING work on the "tree" on Calvary.
However, the intervals betewen certain evens in Acts are not always clear. 7 years seem way to long and, anyway, it wasn't Paul who first went to the Gentiles.
@@str.77 True, but who was given the specific assignment of taking the Gospel to the Gentiles? Rom 15:15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God, Rom 15:16 that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
@@str.77 - You are correct that, "...it wasn't Paul who first went to the Gentiles." If you start counting the 70th "week" WHEN Jesus ( Messiah the Prince) first BEGAN to preach the "Gospel of the Kingdom", at 30 years of age, to the Children of Israel, for 3 1/2 years before he was "cut off", then, in Acts, the Apostles did not preach to Israel exclusively for 7 years but for only 3 1/2 years. Therefore, you are correct in saying, "...7 years seem way to long and..." Jesus fulfilled the 70th "week" Prophecy in it's totality. In the first half he was on Earth with his Apostles; in the second half he was in Heaven with his Apostles on Earth. In BOTH situations it was HE who was doing the work. Once Stephen was "stoned" the 7th "week" for the People of Israel to an end. The RESULT for the Nation was Judgement/Condemnation which was fulfilled in 67-70 A.D. The RESULT for the Gentiles was Peter being sent to the House of Cornelius, the UNCIRCUMCISED, with the "Gospel of the Kingdom". Peter did not preach "the cross of Christ" because that message had not been revealed as yet. He knew that Jesus was the Messiah but he did not know the things which would later be REVEALED to Paul by Christ. God was showing Peter that the UNCIRCUMCISED Gentiles, if they obeyed the "Gospel of the Kingdom" message, would ALSO be accepted by God, without being "Proselytes" to Judaism. However, there is no indication that Cornelius was invited to eat with the Jerusalem "Church". There was still a separation between Circumcised Jews who were "in Christ" and Uncircumcised Gentiles who were "in Christ". This SEPARATION would come to an end AFTER Jesus CONFRONTED Saul of Tarsus and trained him and revealed to him the "Gospel of the Grace of God", i.e. the RECONCILIATION of BOTH Jews and Gentiles through the blood of Christ.
Interesting how people problematises this text for many different reasons. One would start with lift up ones eyes and look at the reason why Daniel gets the prophesy in the first place and whats Gods purpose with the prophesy in verse 2.The seventy comes from the seventy years of captivity. The house of Judah were allowed to come back for a reason. The tribes of the house of Israel didnt get a second chance. why? God had a purpose. He had promised David that he should have a son on the throne for ever. It starts even earlier in Jacobs prophesy to his sons before he dies. Genesis 49:10. So to fullfill prophesy of the coming of the Messiah, which means the annointed one, he had to have the jewish people in the land under occupation of the romans. If reading carefully in Dan.9:25 the time is for the coming of the annointed one and there is no time mentioned to the destruction of the town and the sanctuary. The purpose for the annointed is to fullfill verse 24. Therefor it can not be a future event either. In the middle of the week, what if it is 3.0 years isnt it still in the middle of the week. Time times and a half time in Daniel and the revelation is a roughly timeframe but 1260 days is exact. Can it be that 490 years can be in the same way a bit roughly. Anyhow its hard to check now so long time afterwards to really be able do get the right startingtimes in history which can be truly reliable without doubt. The fortynine years may be the time it took to rebuild the basics of the town and the walls and the temple. The 62 weeks is a transportation in time. God showed me this about Daniel 9:27 He showed me Hes.36:26 and Jer.31:33. from there he took me to Dan 9:27: He shall make a firm covenant with the many for one week and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. After that he took me to Math.26:28 Luke:22:20. This did set me totally free from everything I had heard of teachings on the 70`th week of Daniel and a felt such a joy from the holy spirit when I rescieved it.
The best way to resolve this issue is by doing the calculations correctly. The prophecies of Daniel's 70 weeks. The order to restore and build Jerusalem and described by the prophets as being the order of Cyrus, who would be the liberator of Jerusalem and who would build Jerusalem, as supposedly the calculations did not match the staff forced the idea of another decree to justify the prophecy, The year of the Decree of Cyrus and traditionally dated 536 BC, pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profecia_das_setenta_semanas The problem is not in the date but in the calculations, mainly related to the last week. It is necessary to understand that the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks refers to the covenant, the city of Jerusalem, to Daniel's people, until the 7 weeks are for the rebuilding of the temple and 62 weeks are for the coming of the Messiah, the last week would be to make atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, make a repair with many for a week and in the middle of the week the anointed one would be roped. Jesus made atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, Who are Daniel's people? Abraham. Isaac, Jacob etc. A very important detail in these prophecies, which we must take into account, is the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem. To make atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem for each year of sin of the people of Daniel, it must be atoned for one day, Ezekiel chapter 4 verses 4,5, 6 and 7. The first half of the last week comprises the period of Baptism of Jesus until his death, in days this period of time has a total of 1260 days, or half of a week of 7 years, (considering a year of 360 days) as to make the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem must to atone for each year of sin of the people of Jerusalem for one day, the number of days in which Jesus made atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in this case 1260 days, are the equivalent to the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in years, we can then conclude that the sins of the people of Jerusalem were 1260 years, making the chronology from the decree of Cyrus, from 536 before Christ with a time interval of 70 years referring to the time of captivity, we will arrive at the year of 606 before Christ (536 + 70 = 606) beginning of the 70 years of Babylonian captivity, with a time interval of 1260 years, referring to the days of atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, referring to the period from Jesus' baptism to his death, we will reach the year 1866 before Christ, (606 + 1260 = 1866 BC) we will reach the pact with Abraham or the sacrifice of Isaac, Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, in the same way that Jerusalem was cut in half of a week of 1260 years. see chronology below. The testimony of Jesus and the spirit of prophecies. we can therefore conclude that half a week has a period of 1260 years, referring to the covenant with Abraham, and a seven or a week taking into account Jesus' sacrifice has a total of 2520 years, with the end of the covenant cut in half a week of 1260 years, just as Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, the period of the nations begins, or of Babylon the great and her harlots, in this case the harlots are those who came after the fall of Babylon, the Medes and the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans, with the end of this period of time and the beginning of the times of the Gentiles, or the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon the Great and her harlots. The times are as follows: one time (1260 years or half a week), 2 times or double the time (2520 years a complete week) and half a time (the other half of the week or the 42 months of times of the Gentiles, which in days are 1260 days, which taking into account the pact for a week would be the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon and her harlots. I hope to help in some way. God bless you all, amen. Further clarification follows videos and research sources.

Daniel’s 70 week prophecy or 490 years are continuous. They are not meant to be split up. No prophesy is split in the Bible. It begins with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem in 457 BC. Then it extends to Jesus‘s baptism in 27 A.D. Then to Jesus‘s death in 31 AD. The last 3 1/2 years end with Stephen’s stoning in 34 AD. That is the last chance for the Jews to repent but they do not. This is the only way the math truly works.
Even Jesus himself split up prophecy. Compare luke 4v19-21 with Isaiah 61v1-2 . Jesus stopped mid sentence and said ' this prophecy is fulfilled ', but the day of vengeance wasn't fulfilled. There you go.
Daniel 9:27 ... is speaking of the new covenant that Jesus Christ our promised Messiah confirms with many, for three and a half years of the seventieth week, (not as the unlearned, who give this covenant to the antichrist) from his anointing~baptism at the age of thirty, to his sacrifice and death, and resurrection when he was thirty three years of age, for the remission of sins. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, [G1242] which was established upon better promises. {Hebrews 8:6} For this is the covenant [G1242] that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; *I will put my laws* into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: {Hebrews 8:10} For this is my blood of the new testament, [G1242] which is shed for many for the remission of sins. {Matthew 26:28} And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, [G1242] which is shed for many. {Mark 14:24} Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament [G1242] in my blood, which is shed for you. {Luke 22:20}
32:00 The manipulation of the 483 years is usually not done by taking recourse to lunar vs. solar years but by inventing "prophetic years" of 360 years. That is wholly wrong headed as Daniel talks (weeks of) years, not individual days. The Jewish lunar calendar uses leap years so that any difference at worst can be one month.
a day in bible prophecy equals a year see Eze. 4.6 and numbers 14.34 (and Gen. 29.27)....proof that a day equals a year in bible prophecy is the fact that not all the events spoken of in the text could be fulfilled in days---such as 490 days in Dan. 9. 24-27 or 2300 days in Daniel 8.14....because we have the starting dates for such events and they span centuries. We know that Daniel 9 deals with prophetic days of years. I hope I did not misunderstand your point.
@@DavidKing-qd3sp a day in bible prophecy MIGHT equal a year. But that's not necessarily so. However, your supposed prooftext do not prove anything. -Numbers 14.34 clearly spells out that 40 days of spying will lead to to 40 days of wandering. -The same is true for Ezechiel 4.6: God tells the prophet to lie down for a day for each year. -Gen. 29.27 is totally irrelevant for this. Jacob has to serve 7 years for Rachel just as he served 7 years for Leah.
@@DavidKing-qd3sp PS. Why are you even posting this as a response to my comment above. Hardly anyone questions that the weeks in Daniel 9 are weeks of years. (I of only one guy on youtube who would think otherwise.) I certainly did not dispute this. What I did point out however that the units Daniel 9 operates in are weeks of years. It doesn't operate in individual days, which would be "minutes" in terms of the prophecy. But such minutes never appear.
@@DavidKing-qd3sp The point is that Daniel 9 tells us in which week (of years) or after how many weeks (of years) something will happen. Only once, "in the middle of the week" does the prophecy indicate when during a week something will happen. The point is that it is inadmissable to transform the 7-year-period (week of years) into so and so many days and then turn them into years of a differing length. Prophetic years do not exist and the discrepancy between lunar and solar years is dealt with by leap months inserted when necessary. Hence, we can gloss over that discrepancy. Note also that the prophecy never says: exactly at the end of the seventh year of that week something will happen. Alas, there are nitpickers that think unless the final event in the prophecy happens precisely 176,400 days after the decree was given, the prophecy isn't true.
The book of DANIEL not only has a 483-day [year?] period, but also a 2300-day period. Why? Could it be because both numbers are evenly divisible by the number 23, just as 1656 is? The Creation took 7 days (the Sabbath Day being the last thing created), and 7 days = 604,800 seconds. That number -- 604,800 -- also represents the number of DAYS from the Creation to the Flood. If you add up the number of years -- and notice that GENESIS does not use "and months and days" when calculating the times from Adam through to Noah -- it turns out that Noah was born when 1056 years had passed since Adam, and since Noah was 600 years old when the Flood struck, that means there were 1,656 years in what we could call the First Age or Antediluvian Age. Divide 604,800 by 1,656 and you get 365.2173913 days per year on average, which is 365 and 5/23rds days. Multiply that by the denominator [23] and you get 8,400 days per 23 year period = 1,200 weeks. Clearly, this 232-year period is important, as it is the key to the chronology of the first major part of GENESIS. The number of seconds in Creation Week equals the number of days in the Antediluvian Age: 604,800. The 70 Weeks prophecy has that odd 7+62=69 weeks preliminary before the final 70th Week. If we take the 69 weeks as meaning 483 years, then since 483 = 23 x 21, we can posit that the 483 years would not equal 483 x 360 = 173,880 days (figuring a prophetic year as being 360 days long), but would, instead, be 21 x 8,400 = 176,400 days long = 21 cycles of 23 years. Now, the final (i.e. 70th) 'week' might very well consist of years with an idealized number of months [say, 42], each month being 30 days long, totaling 1,260 days. Maybe. REVELATION seems to insist on such a timescale, probably allowing for the word "time" in DANIEL 12 to mean a period of time that isn't necessarily a year (whether a solar or lunisolar one). But notice, too, that DANIEL has that "2,300 evenings and mornings" prophecy [8:14]. Notice that 2,300 = 23 x 100, or (perhaps) 100 of those 23-year cycles = 840,000 days = 120,000 weeks. I can't think of a more relevant use of the number 23 than in reference to the 23-year cycle that underlies the GENESIS chronology, indicating that the author of DANIEL indeed had a 2,300-year timeline in mind. However, to insist that the 2,300-years and the 70 Weeks (of years) have to begin at the same time -- as Seventh Day Adventists do -- is unwarranted, in my opinion. If the author of DANIEL believed that the 23-year period was significant, so that 72 such cycles culminated in the Flood judgment, then a passage of an even 100 such cycles predating the culmination of the Sanctuary's Restoration seems symbolically appropriate. But that makes one wonder: when might the 2,300-year prophetic period begin, if not at the start of the 70 Weeks (as many insist)? Here's one suggestion: since the 1,656-year period [72 cycles of 23 years] ends with the Flood, perhaps the 2,300-year period [100 cycles of 23 years] begins where the last one left off . . . so that the total number of years from Creation through to the Restoration of the Sanctuary would be 1,656 + 2,300 = 3,956 years = 172 cycles = 1,444,800 days = 206,400 weeks. There seems to be little agreement, though, on when the Creation happened. The traditional Jewish Calendar dates A.M. 1 to 3761 BC, which would put the Restoration in the year AD 196; if the author of DANIEL had high hopes for that future year, however, history didn't pan out that way. Ussher's date of Creation, 4004 BC, would lead to the Restoration being in 48 BC -- which was damn near the reform of the Roman Calendar (i.e. Julius Caesar's calendar reform of 46 BC) but undoubtedly was not the intent of DANIEL. The 1,656-year period was so obviously concocted by the writer(s) of GENESIS well after-the-fact to make it seem reasonable to conclude that the end of the 2,300-year period (also a literary concoction), being a before-the-fact calculation, could only represent a hope for a Latter Day fulfillment . . . one that hasn't happened and probably will never happen, no matter when you back-date the Creation to.
No one in the New Testament mentions Daniel’s count as a proof of who Jesus was. That’s a problem. Abraham overcomes Babylon and Joseph dumond use a jubilee count of 49 years x 490 and start from the events at Sinai when they became a nation. The narrative about the end of sin, etc implies to me the 490 shabbuahs is the complete history of Israel. Might check it out. I can’t remember the whole theory right now. I don’t have my notes.
The early church, and modern translations, struggle to know where one of the sentences ends and another begins, and whether or not they should follow the Masoretic notations in dividing up those sentences. I explain this in another video. It's a very difficult text because we don't know for sure and the difference in the pointing of one word changes the substance of the prophecy. All that is to say, if it is a "plain text" then you must have discovered something about Hebrew pointing that the rest of us don't know. In which case, I am listening.
He builds his major point over 2 anointed ones but there are not 2 people being anointed - it is a person and a place, the person is Christ in verse 25, the place is the heavenly sanctuary that was anointed in 24 before Christ started His ministry, even the earthly sanctuary was anointed before usage...so this person, sincere and gifted as he is - is confused. Messiah means anointed one. Christ was anointed at His baptism. In exodus 30. 26-29 you will find references to the anointing of the earthly sanctuary before usage.
Seventy weeks are determined [cut off] upon *thy people and upon thy holy city* ...to finish the transgression, and (Jn 19:30; Col 2:13-14; Is 53:12) ...to make an end of sins, and (Jn 1:29; 1Jn 3:5; Jn 5:14; Jn 8:11; Rom 6:6-7; 1 Cor 15:3; Heb 9:26-28; Heb 10:14) ...to make reconciliation for iniquity, and (Rom 5:10; 2 Cor 5:18-19; Col 1:20-22; Eph 2:14-16) ...to bring in everlasting righteousness, and (Matt 3:15; Rom 3:21-22; Rom 8:4; 2 Cor 5:21) ...to seal up the vision and prophecy, and (Matt 3:13-17) ...to anoint the most Holy. (Jn 1:32-34; Mark 1:15; Acts 10:38; Luke 4:18; Is 61:1) {Daniel 9:24} < The context And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ("Behold your house has been left unto you desolate.") {Daniel 9:27} 7 weeks + 62 weeks + *one week* = 70 weeks, to anoint the most Holy, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, *It was necessary* that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: (for there were three and a half years remaining grace for "thy people" of the final week.) but seeing ye put it from you, and *judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life* lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. {Acts 13:46-48} To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until *the land had enjoyed her sabbaths* for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. {2 Chronicles 36:21} For 490 years, equal to 70 sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that Israel and Judah transgressed the law of God. This is why they received seventy years exiled in bondage in the land of Babylon. There was no gap in their seventy years in exil, and there is no gap in the 490 years of transgressing the law of God, and there most certainly was no gap unto the coming of the Messiah who did not come in a vacuum, but rather confirmed his covenant with many for there and a half years, and in the land of Israel's inheritance. The stoning of Steven is when probation closed on the covenant that God made with the their fathers, exactly three and a half years after Jesus Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us, and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven went out unto the Gentiles also.

The testimony of Jesus and the spirit of prophecies. we can therefore conclude that half a week has a period of 1260 years, referring to the covenant with Abraham, and a seven or a week taking into account Jesus' sacrifice has a total of 2520 years, with the end of the covenant cut in half a week of 1260 years, just as Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, the period of the nations begins, or of Babylon the great and her harlots, in this case the harlots are those who came after the fall of Babylon, the Medes and the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans, with the end of this period of time and the beginning of the times of the Gentiles, or the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon the Great and her harlots. The times are as follows: one time (1260 years or half a week), 2 times or double the time (2520 years a complete week) and half a time (the other half of the week or the 42 months of times of the Gentiles, which in days are 1260 days, which taking into account the pact for a week would be the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon and her harlots. I hope to help in some way. God bless you all, amen. Further clarification follows videos and research sources. The last week ends in the year 2026. with the time already shortened. cronologiab.blogspot.com/p/2-de-abraao-ao-exodo.html ruclips.net/video/XhtI7tyJnxc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/uhKWA28iwCI/видео.html Brazilian Portuguese
What i can't understand is why the apostles and early church leaders would not have been declaring that the 70 weeks prophecy signalled the arrival of the Messiah. Many other Old Testament propecies are marshalled in the New Testament for that purpose. Seems the wise men may have calculated that fact.
Some say that the declaration in the Gospels that "the time is fulfilled" is a reference to this very thing. As I put in the video, some think this is why his birth narrative in Luke is 490 days. The church fathers did discuss this as well.
Thanks for the reply and also for the most comprehensive video I have ever seen on this topic. Another thing I have often wondered is why such a pivotal prophecy is so hard to understand.
@@Kevin.Williams1965 Yeah, this text has earned its reputation. Several who watched this video complained to me that I did not draw up in firm conclusions, but just cut down the options. But what else could I do? Pretend? For me the only NT book that seems to have a firm view is Revelation, and it stretches the final three and a half years to cover the period from Jesus' ascension to his return. So John of Patmos is clearly playing by other rules when he reads this. Not sure any of our most intuitive or natural-feeling approaches are going to pan out or get us to where he is on this.
From my investigation of the Gospels, I cannot substantiate a three and half year ministry of Jesus. However neither do I agree with the dispensationist view. The destruction of Jerusalem is mentioned in the prophecy, but is not in the list of stated purposes given at the beginning, as far as I can tell. I can't shake the feeling, however, that the seventieth week being divided in the middle somehow relates to the three and a half years in Revelation. Sometimes I think that the first half the seventieth week was fulfilled in AD 70, and the other half in Revelation. But this requires disconnecting it from the rest of the prophecy, as the dispensationists do. I don't see a confirmed covenant anywhere. Also, you disagreed with the lunar calendar view, but in Revelation, if it has any bearing, 42 months are defined as 1,260 days.
@@Kevin.Williams1965 I agree that a 3 1/2 year ministry of Jesus is hard to defend. The only real timeline we get is in John and it is only a bit longer than two years (beginning with a passover and ending with a third passover). I'd be open to the sort of formula you just outlined, not withstanding the reservations you shared about it. As far as the calendar in Revelation, 1260 days isn't strictly lunar. A real lunar calendar would require a leap month. Daniel said 1290 and Revelation says it's thirty days less, getting rid of the leap month that would make it truly lunar. It's like John gives us a lunar calendar of 30 days, but eliminates the necessary leap month to signal that his period is not a literal three and a half years. He also has a number game going on that involves rectangular numbers at that point. I have videos on that.
I think It's only one 3.5 years. Once named 42 months , once mentioned as 1260 days. Same period different contexts. That why it's differentiated. I think Christs crucifixion was at AD 30. Then exactly 40 years (same period as Israel in the wilderness, and many other 40 year periods in scripture) to 70AD. This takes care of "final 3.5 years". The city was destroyed in +/- 64 by the fire, separate from the total destruction of the temple. Let's not confuse city with temple.
Good post. I agree it's one 3.5 year period. Revelation's use of it, however, is another thing. In Revelation 12 and elsewhere John stretches the 3.5 years to cover from the ascension to the return of Jesus, the whole church age. Daniel has no sense of the numbers working that way. John's revelation goes above and beyond Daniel's use of the numbers.
I knownthis is bout Jesus. But please explain the "anointed one" in v24 and v25. The verse indicates these are the same anointed one. Your use of "2nd" annointed in v25 is not a valid exegesis.
Hey, thanks for commenting! If we follow the Hebrew text they are two different anointed ones; if we follow the Greek text they are the same person. This video is part of a three-part series (though most folks don't watch the first two). In the introductory text I outline the differences and reasonings behind the two renderings. Be blessed.
Romans 15:8-10 KJV 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:_* [9] 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. [10] And again he saith, *_Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people._* Luke 24:44-45 KJV And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that *_all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me._* [45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Then in the very next scene of Acts Peter explains how the church is the rebuilt tent of David. And in Romans, we have the land promise confirmed to the gentile and Jewish church in 4:13
Proof the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled in the past: 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.
Excellent video! But I would add that the 7 year "end of time" ideas are not solely based off of Daniel. There are a few passages in Revelation that imply 3.5 or 7 year time periods then as well.
Yes, those are 3.5 year passages. In Revelation 12, as well as other places, John stretches the 3.5 years across the entire church age from Jesus' ascension until his return. So definitely not a part of a literal seven-year scheme. One of my most recent videos was on this. You may check it out if you like, under ten minutes.
Daniel was written hudreds of years prior to enoch, you can’t say that Daniel used lunar calendar because Enoch did, non sequeter But I agree with some of the other points. You need a stronger case for non-lunar calander by Hebrew people 600 years prior to Messiah
Thanks for the comment! Most scholars contend that this part of Daniel was written in the second century BC. This makes it contemporaneous with Enoch or, perhaps, Enoch was even a little bit earlier than Daniel.
@@estimatingonediscoveringthree Yeah I have videos discussing the issue of dating different sections of Daniel. Virtually every scholar accepts a second century bc date for this part of Daniel, including Evangelical ones. Though of course on the lay level a different assumption prevails. If some of Daniel was written at a late date this means that SOME of its material is ex eventu, written after the fact. This is not necessarily a terrible thing for those of us who believe in Daniel. Ex eventu prophecy is often joined with actual predictions of the future in Daniel. Ex eventu prophecy is a part of the writing conventions of the ancient world, and we must assume that God spoke to ancients in an ancient way, as opposed to speaking to them with our modern assumptions of how prophecy should work. For later prophets to write in Daniel's name is to say, among other things, that one is not going to write in his own name out of humility, and also to say that one's prophecy is a continuation of Daniel's earlier material on some substantial level relating to its form and content.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 so the initial writing of Daniel was edited or Daniel is not inspired writing. At what point could we receive a edited version of Daniel and say “sorry, that’s too late to be cannon” If your appealing to late amendments to scripture, your basically operating from a premise scripture is man made.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 scholars say it’s late because otherwise they would have to say it’s supernatural knowledge of the future. They don’t want to do that, so they change the timing. Which is circular in itself, since dates are derived from artifacts and events, that are logged in the annuls. Do you see the problem?
God gave Daniel the end time vision and revelation, and he couldn't understand what he heard and saw. Thus, the bible was shut in Daniel 12:4 because he couldn't comprehend what the angel that talked with him was saying, especially about a Savior who would be cut off- it didn't make any sense, and about the end of the world. He was only praying for God to remember His people in captivity, who are nearing the completion of their 70 years in captivity. It was then the 69th week year, so God sent the angel to let him know that His people were not ready, and they wouldn't be able to return to the promised land- which will reject them, as they were cast out already because of unbelief and disobedience to the law of the land. In His mercy, God was going to play His ultimate card - send His Son to finish the work and restore His people. But, they have to go through the period of the wrath of God, so to spare at least some, God ushered in the dispensation of Grace- whosoever would believe in Him, through the sacrificial death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son, and accept Him as Lord and Savior, will be spared. Thus, he was told to go rest till the time of the end when everything would've come to pass already and would then be easier to understand. The book of Revelation is the revealing or clarification of those things that Daniel couldn't understand at that time, especially that of a suffering Messiah, who will later be glorified (Benoni to Benjamin), now made manifest to him and not to the Apostle John as many thought, to whom was revealed the conclusion of the grace dispensation of the church. Daniel was referred to as "greatly beloved" Daniel 9:23, and the Apostle John often referred to himself as "the desciple whom Jesus loved ", other than that, there's no where in the scriptures where there's any reference whatsoever, to connect him to end time revelations. Thus, Daniel must have been referred to as the man greatly beloved, (like Solomon and Benjamin), rather than by his name in the manuscripts, thus, it was attributed to the Apostle John as the person to whom the vision was revealed. Could it also be possible for Daniel to be the one on the Isle of Patmos since there was a reference of him appearing again at the time of the end in Daniel 12? Jesus, as the Lamb of God, took the book that was sealed Revelation 5, and opened it physically in Luke 4:17-21, after His baptism and anointing, now filled with Holy Ghost and power, as the Messiah, to begin His ministry, as it was written of Him Psalm 40:6-8. He quoted the first part of Isaiah 61:2 because that was what He had come to fulfill. Isaiah 63:4, let us know that the second part would begin after the completion of the first part. The day of the Lord's vengeance is now upon the world. The acceptable year of the Lord is fast closing. Let's endure till the end by His grace. In Jesus' name. Luke 4:17-18, Isaiah 61:2, 63:4, 34:8; 35:4, 33:22. Psalm 91. We have no excuses. The bible will be shut again very soon, as the Holy Spirit that was sent to teach, help us understand, interpret to and lead us until the time of the end would have taken all Believers up and out of this world, thus, the bible returning to how it was in Isaiah 28:11-12; Amos 8:11-12. Everything written and revealed is unfolding. They have started to make sense as the day draws near. The whole counsel of God will be fulfilled, and then the end will come. Daniel actually needed the revelation of Jesus Christ to the Apostle John, in Revelation chapters 1-4, In order to understand the end-time prophecy God sent the angels to reveal to Him, before continuing from Revelation chapter 5 onwards, till judgment and rewards. Daniel was told not to seal the prophecy at this time, once everything already became clear, and he got the full understanding of past, present, and future events that should begin to unfold from then onwards, which he couldn't understand before, and got the book of prophecy shut until its revelation, hence the name: Revelation. Revelation 22:10. God was ready for the prophecies to begin to unfold. The next is the ushering in of "The Day of Vengeance of our God " after " the acceptable year of the Lord." Luke 4:17-20; Isaiah 61:2; 63:4. We need to be prepared!
Two points: 1). 70, 7’s are not years but heptads. The Hebrew has a word for years but it is not used here. This prophecy is based on events and not wooden time. Similarly is the prophecy of Jesus as Jonah was 3 days and nights in belly of whale. Not literally 72 hours. 2). Jesus told disciples “when you see the abomination of desolation”… it would be an event they would see. What was it? Who was it? It was the One who said He was the bronze serpent raised in the wilderness. Jesus became sin for us. Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree. Daniels prophesy ends with Christ death. It’s not about years… it’s about events.
I am okay with it not being wooden time. Of course some things will have to be explained. For example, the passage explicitly takes the 70 years of Jeremiah as its starting point. While the word "years" is not explicit in Daniel, it is in the source text Daniel depends on. If one wishes to see a development in which Daniel transforms Jeremiah's meaning that is fine. It will just have to be explained. A few other important clarifications would need to be forthcoming as well, such as the rebuilding of the city, the desecration of the sanctuary, and other predictions in this text.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Again, Jesus declared the "abomination desolation" would be seen by those he was speaking with (namely: Andrew, Peter, James and John). Note the personal pronouns used by Jesus in the discourse "you" and "your"... The death of the anointed Messiah ends in a horrid death in which he takes the abomination of sin and dies for it. This is seen in him being "bronze snake", "cursed on a tree", "made sin who knew no sin", etc. I'd implore you to look for Christology in this prophecy. Have a Christocentic view of Scripture! As our Lord declared, "They speak of me..."
@@melharness9385 I'm not bothered by this perspective. But having toyed with Daniel 9 for a long time I know that everybody cheats to make their interpretation work. I suppose my only other question would be: How does your view reckon with the 3 1/2 years of Revelation? If all of the 70 7's are completed in the Christ Event, why does John discuss the final 3 1/2 as not fulfilled after Jesus' ascension?
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Is correct. Now all you have to do is calculate the 70 weeks with the correct time intervals, taking into account Daniel's prayer about the sins of his people that would be atoned for. How is this calculation done? The prophecies of Daniel's 70 weeks. The order to restore and build Jerusalem and described by the prophets as being the order of Cyrus, who would be the liberator of Jerusalem and who would build Jerusalem, as supposedly the calculations did not match the staff forced the idea of another decree to justify the prophecy, The year of the Decree of Cyrus and traditionally dated 536 BC, pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profecia_das_setenta_semanas The problem is not in the date but in the calculations, mainly related to the last week. It is necessary to understand that the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks refers to the covenant, the city of Jerusalem, to Daniel's people, until the 7 weeks are for the rebuilding of the temple and 62 weeks are for the coming of the Messiah, the last week would be to make atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, make a repair with many for a week and in the middle of the week the anointed one would be roped. Jesus made atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, Who are Daniel's people? Abraham. Isaac, Jacob etc. A very important detail in these prophecies, which we must take into account, is the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem. To make atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem for each year of sin of the people of Daniel, it must be atoned for one day, Ezekiel chapter 4 verses 4,5, 6 and 7. The first half of the last week comprises the period of Baptism of Jesus until his death, in days this period of time has a total of 1260 days, or half of a week of 7 years, (considering a year of 360 days) as to make the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem must to atone for each year of sin of the people of Jerusalem for one day, the number of days in which Jesus made atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in this case 1260 days, are the equivalent to the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in years, we can then conclude that the sins of the people of Jerusalem were 1260 years, making the chronology from the decree of Cyrus, from 536 before Christ with a time interval of 70 years referring to the time of captivity, we will arrive at the year of 606 before Christ (536 + 70 = 606) beginning of the 70 years of Babylonian captivity, with a time interval of 1260 years, referring to the days of atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, referring to the period from Jesus' baptism to his death, we will reach the year 1866 before Christ, (606 + 1260 = 1866 BC) we will reach the pact with Abraham or the sacrifice of Isaac, Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, in the same way that Jerusalem was cut in half of a week of 1260 years. see chronology below. The testimony of Jesus and the spirit of prophecies. we can therefore conclude that half a week has a period of 1260 years, referring to the covenant with Abraham, and a seven or a week taking into account Jesus' sacrifice has a total of 2520 years, with the end of the covenant cut in half a week of 1260 years, just as Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, the period of the nations begins, or of Babylon the great and her harlots, in this case the harlots are those who came after the fall of Babylon, the Medes and the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans, with the end of this period of time and the beginning of the times of the Gentiles, or the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon the Great and her harlots. The times are as follows: one time (1260 years or half a week), 2 times or double the time (2520 years a complete week) and half a time (the other half of the week or the 42 months of times of the Gentiles, which in days are 1260 days, which taking into account the pact for a week would be the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon and her harlots.

@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 There are 3 references in Revelation of a 3 1/2 year time. Each seems to be a different context and not the same event. Why would we have to connect any of them to the fulfilled 70-7's? Because there is no wooden time element given by Gabriel but rather two major events that are like book ends (rebuild & Messiah), the prophecy is not forced into a timetable. My previous point was that the 3 days and 3 night prophecy of Jesus about Himself as an archetype of Jonah doesn't require us to find 72 hours to make it fulfilled. Gabriels prophecy ends with the death of Messiah who becomes the abomination desolation and in doing so, fulfills the promises of verse 24: To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. None of this is accomplished in a supposed 3 1/2 year tribulation. But when Jesus fulfilled all righteousness and then became sin for us, and we are now free from sin and made righteous by Him and the vision and prophecy is sealed up! DONE.
The beginning of sin, the mystery of iniquity began in Eden, Genesis 4:8-15-24. Man didn't directly commit sin, but was led by a third party- the devil in the serpent, and was made to sin against God. In God's right, He killed a third party propitiation for their sins- the sinless Lamb. Thus God, to be Righteous and Just, must be the One to provide Himself a sacrificial Lamb, to atone for the sins which the third party- Adam, had committed, to be able to Righteously judge the other third party, the devil, satan, the dragon, to finally get punished. But there has to be opportunity on both sides to prove that God is Righteous and Just in His judgment, by giving man 1000 years to prove he can eventually hold his own and not succumb to peer or outside pressure, in order to be worthy of being redeemed, ransomed, regenerated, restored and reconciled, back to God- through Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5. Then, man- Cain deliberately killed his brother, Abel, but this sin couldn't readily be judged simply because there was no preceding law about being one's brother's keeper that was to have been broken. (Thus, the whole system was destroyed by the flood, and the laws started with that Genesis 9:5-6, until finally judged and finished on the cross John 19:30) And in verse 15, a precedent was laid down for the time it would take to judge sin, 70x7 or 490 years. That generation was wiped out by the flood, but the precept remained: sin shall be avenged seventy and seven fold. (Matthew 18:21-23). This was the standard by which Israel also judged, as they also had to spend 70 sabbath years ( or 70x7= 490 years), in exile, outside of the promised land. When it was the 69th week year Daniel prayed to God, and fasted to remind Him of the imminent due date of the return of God's people to their promised land; but the sin of the Amorite was not yet full, Genesis 15:16, also, Israel was still in rebellion towards God, and the land cannot sustain rebellion- it was Holy! So, the Messiah had to come and make a way for grace and justification, and righteousness of God to be imputed, so Israel can get back their monarchy, through the house of David, and back to the kingdom of God, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, as the Son of God, and the Son of man -the promised Son of David, the king of Israel to order His Kingdom Isaiah 9:6; who would ascend His throne as God had promised him. Romans 1:3; Acts 2:30, and come to bring them back to God, Jeremiah 16:16a; Luke 19:10; Matthew 10:5. Instead, they rejected and killed Him. Thus, from then onwards, the way to God was opened to whosoever would come to Him by grace through the shedding of His blood, by grace through faith in His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection. They were given the adoption of sons and daughters into the kingdom, which hitherto, they were not permitted Ephesians 2:13; John 1:11-14, becoming heirs and joint heirs of God and the Abrahamic covenanted promises an blessing (Genesis 25:6- the representatives of his other children by Hagar and Keturah, the Kings of the East, could now access and partake of the blessing, and they showed their allegiance and faith, by worshipping Jesus Christ, as a Child!) Jesus Christ gave His life for all who would simply believe in Him as Lord and Savior, in order to keep them from the wrath of God that will be unleashed upon the Amorite, until the end. Isaiah 63:18; Daniel 8:13; Zechariah 12:3; Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2. And eventually, they will be rescued at the second coming of Christ Luke 21:13; Zechariah 14. He finished the work of salvation of the soul of man John 19:30 and this continues the "acceptable year of the Lord" which began as He took the sealed book of Daniel, 12:4, from God, as the Lamb of God, who alone is Worthy, and opened the seals Revelation 5, and fulfilled the first of the three part of Isaiah 61:2, in Luke 4:16-21, and He SHUT it again. This will run through this dispensation of preaching of the gospel of grace, (which ended the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom, which ended with the stoning of Stephen) by faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and He will return to gather His saints from the world, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15; and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father, with exceeding joy, Jude 24; with victory over sin, devil, death, hell and eternal damnation in the lake of fire and brimstone Isaiah 66:24. The second dispensation is nearly upon us, at this time Isaiah 63:4, which will usher in the tribulation period when the 70th and last year will be ushered in to finish all transgressions! Daniel 9:24. ( As the Messiah has become the sacrifice for sin, and was dead, buried and rose again from the dead! His shed blood sprinkled on the heavenly mercy seat for propitiation for sins for all who would go to God by and through Him, simply by faith! Ephesians 2:8). Then, the Lord will return the second time, complete with His body, as a new Creature resting upon the Mount of Olives Zechariah 14, to make a way of escape for the remnants of Israel Matthew 24:31. Then the battle of armageddon will ensue, and it will end up in total obliteration of this earth. Isaiah 24; Joel chapters 2 and 3, Jeremiah chapters 1-11...; 1 Peter 3 etc. This is the fullness and end, and judgment of the sin of the Amorite! Matthew 18:21-22; Psalm 75:8; 73:3-17. Then the new heaven and earth will be created after the conclusion of the millennium- to mark the expiration date of sin and death, like it was back in Eden. Now man will live out the 1000 year curse of death Isaiah 65, (Genesis 5). Then history will repeat itself when everything reaches full circle- the serpent will be released once again, Revelation 20:1-6, to tempt man as he did with Adam and Eve, those who follow him will get totally judged and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, together with hell, death, the antichrist, false prophets and all whose portion is with them Isaiah 66:24. Revelation chapters 19-22. God has perfected the end from the beginning. But as it is written-"My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge " Hosea 4:6, so, "With all thine getting, get understanding " Proverbs 4:7; Luke 24:45. Be filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, and abide in the fold, John 10, until He returns as promised, to take up His purchased possession! John 14:26; Ephesians chapters 1-2! Then He will set up His kingdom! Isaiah 9:6! Be encouraged!
Jesus Christ ate the passover on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. Matthew 25:17. He then proceeded to the Mount of Olives, where he was arrested later that night. This happened on the preparation day before the sabbath- Luke 23:54. Wednesday evening. The legalistic priests and pharisees, etc., couldn't follow Jesus Christ to the hall of judgment. He was crucified in the morning of Thursday, died at 3 pm, and was buried before the sabbath. (And the evening and the morning were the 1st day). Genesis 1:5; Luke 23:54-55. Thursday evening =1 night. Friday morning =1 day Friday evening =2 nights Saturday morning =2 days Saturday evening= 3 nights Sunday morning =3 days. He rose again from the dead. God had told Abraham that his Seed shall be a stranger in a foreign land Genesis 15:13. In due time, Moses took it upon himself, being the prince of Egypt, and leaning on his own intellectual prowess Acts 7:22-30. He didn't know that one cannot do the work of the Spirit in the flesh Galatians 3:3-6, thus he started his ministry 10 years earlier, without being fully equipped and girded with all necessary means to fulfill it. He found himself a fugitive, living with an unreasonable father-in-law, who made him take over the work of keeping sheep, which had been done, thitherto, by his daughters. This gave Moses ample time to reflect and become meek. He even told God that he was a stammerer. He finally got to his end, for him to embrace God's beginning for him- reluctantly though it was. This added extra 40 years to the time of the captivity in Egypt. Another example is Jeremiah 28:13. God told Jeremiah to make a yoke of wood, but he was disdained by the prophet Hanniah, who believed that God had only spoken to him and not to Jeremiah, who wasn't a prophet, but of the priests Jeremiah 1:1. He broke the yoke of wood, but God changed it into a yoke of iron, which further intensified Israel's punishment in captivity . Jeremiah 28:1-17. God's word is immutable. When we dishonor or disobey His word, even if we repent, the punishment must be administered as it is written. Thank God for Jesus Christ, who lives to intercede for us before the Father, and also by His blood and the Holy Spirit. Romans 7:26-39
If Jesus didn't fulfill the 70th week, then Moses 70 weeks weren't fulfilled, nor the prophecies of the minor and major prophets, nor the Apostles, and we could no longer regard them as prophets, including Jesus! God forbid! Let God be true and every man a liar! And we would all be false witnesses! Moses and the prophets foretold the destruction of the temple, and Jacob's Trouble, being scattered into all nations. Did these events happen, NO! Not if the 70th week didn't happen!
The Coming Prince, chapter 7: “The question remains, whether any precedent for this can be discovered in the mystical chronology of Israel's history. According to the book of Kings, Solomon began to build the temple in the 480th year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt. (1 Kings 6:1) This statement, than which none could, seemingly, be more exact, has sorely puzzled chronologers. By some it has been condemned as a forgery, by others it has been dismissed as a blunder; but all have agreed in rejecting it. Moreover, Scripture itself appears to clash with it. In his sermon at Pisidian Antioch (Acts 13:18-21) St. Paul epitomizes thus the chronology of this period of the history of his nation: forty years in the wilderness; 450 years under the judges, and forty years of the reign of Saul; making a total of 530 years. To which must be added the forty years of David's reign and the first three years of Solomon's; making 573 years for the very period which is described in Kings as 480 years. Can these conclusions, apparently so inconsistent, be reconciled? If we follow the history of Israel as detailed in the book of Judges, we shall find that for five several periods their national existence as Jehovah's people was in abeyance. In punishment for their idolatry, God gave them up again and again, and "sold them into the hands of their enemies." They became slaves to the king of Mesopotamia for eight years, to the king of Moab for eighteen years, to the king of Canaan for twenty years, to the Midianites for seven years, and finally to the Philistines for forty years. [4] But the sum of 8 +18+ 20+ 7+ 40 years is 93 years, and if 93 years be deducted from 573 years, the result is 480 years. It is obvious, therefore, that the 480 years of the book of Kings from the Exodus to the temple is a mystic era formed by eliminating every period during which the people were cast off by God. [5] If, then, this principle were intelligible to the Jew in regard to history, it was both natural and legitimate to introduce it in respect of an essentially mystic era like that of the seventy weeks.”
I would suggest that when you use this analytic approach and single out these four verses from Daniel 9 separately from all other prophecies found in Daniel as well as NT predictions, which give Daniel context. Missing these connections is like losing the plot to one of the greatest mysteries ever or the greatest detective story . One must consider the entire landscape of God's future plans for a redeemed mankind. Remember, Jesus himself quote Daniel 9: 27 in his famous Mat.24 sermon on the signs that proceed His Second Coming. Also, although this speaker had done some great research, he seemed to have neglected other essential connections with Daniel 7, 11, and 12 which refer to the Antichrist and time of great trouble found in Daniel 12. The complete picture is highly complex but also simple. Just start in Daniel 9.24, and see this as Gods overview or abstract of His mighty plan for man.
Using my Decimal Timeline. I calculated and believe that the First Adam was instantly created as a 30.124 years old man on 3970.5051 BC.... Jesus the Second Adam started His 3.5 years Ministry when He was baptized at the age of 30 years old (Luke 3:23) on 27AD precisely 4,000 solar years of 365.25 days a year on the 7000 years timeline. Time difference between Biblical and solar years was extended from biblical mid point of when Jacob was born, counting from day First Adam was created was precisely 2096 biblical years. I used the conversion factor of 0.9...... by dividing 360days by 365.25 and used the conversion factor multiple 2069 Biblical Year. The difference which is 30.124 years as time to compensate for age of First Adam, then establish the True count of 7000 years plan of God as at 30.124 years back. This marks the birth of JESUS at about 2 BC and so He was crucified on 31 AD to fulfill Daniel 9:27, that the Messiah was cut off. The crucifixion of Jesus. I believe Rapture shall be on 2027 AD in this calculation, but it can be earlier. If earlier, the date i believe Rapture may happen is May 19, 2024. The Second coming of Christ Jesus as Judge is going to be highly likely on the Feast of Trumpets in the good year of the Lord 2034. Or if second coming shall be on 2031, then the Rapture high watch day is 19th May 2024, that is using the Sign of Jonah Jesus gave go this wicked and adulterous generation as i understood from the Holy Bible. Know that a 1000 Biblical Year of 360 days shall be passed before Satan is released for 10 days only or for 3.5 years depending on when the Rapture takes place on either of this two days. AFTER in prison in the bottomless pit for 1000 biblical years, Satan will be lossed to try the Israelites and other nations' population born during the millennium period. Those who fall to satan, fire falls on them and devour them and at great white throne judgement are cast into the Lake of Fire after the False Prophet and Antichrist and Satan. The for next 5 days is the second resurrection of the damned to appear before the great white throne judgement of God to face the final verdict before they are cast into the Lake of Fire. In the next 7 days of the Feast of Tabernacles, God shall destroys the old earth and the heaven and create a new Heaven and a new Earth. Finally on the 8th day of Feast of Tabernacles the Alpha and the Omega (Lord Jesus Christ) ends the 1000 Biblical Years of Reign on earth with His kings, lords and priest is over, and commence the eternal reign in the blizz and tranquility of the New Earth and the New Heaven therein indwell the souls of the saved for all Eternity.

The period of Christ's infancy described here as 490 days is actually only 487 days as lunar months are not all 30 days but alternately 29 and 30. Also, Luke never gives a total - hence it is is misleading to say that he makes a point about 490 days.
"Misleading" is a strong word. This idea has circulated in the scholarly literature for a while, and is not at all original to me, but to make that assertion because Luke does not give a total is an uncompelling retort. He might expect his audience to do some counting, as various other biblical (and other ancient) authors do. And I am always a bit puzzled when someone makes a strong claim about how the months were reckoned. There are numerous theories and ideas based upon primary literature, usually from well after the time in question such as from the rabbis, and at the end of it all we do not know exactly how the days were reckoned because we don't know whose system Luke followed. Moreover, there are other examples of months being reckoned from a lunar perspective which do not fit your claim. Consider the book of Revelation, which treats 42 months as 1,260 days. If your point of alternate days must stick in Luke, then why doesn't it work in Revelation?
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Maybe the word is too strong, but there is no basis for the claim. The number can only be reached by adding several periods, some of which again are not clearly spelled out. This way, the "6 months of 30 days" can creep in when Luke says no such thing. (If he did equate 6 months with 180 days, one could accept the symbolism but he doesn't say.) We actually can tell how the months were reckoned as the Jews didn't use a solar calendar but a lunar-solar calendar (as did most peoples at the time - the Roman's being the exception) with actual lunar months. A lunar month is 29.5 days long, hence the alternating lengths. I see no reason for to deviate from this.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Revelation is steeped in symbolism. Yes, it equates 1260 days with 42 months, leading to a symbolic month of 30 days. I can accept that as symbolism, though not for actual calculation (as those claiming "prophetic years" do, thereby turning 483 years into 477 years). The difference to Luke is that Luke makes no such equation and isn't engaging in apocalyptic symbolism. He just gives a straightforward account.
@@str.77 The interpretation, which I got from Goldingay's commentary and he got from another source, could potentially be wrong and it wouldn't hurt my feelings. If Luke equated it with 180 days, permitting th e whole process to add up to 490 days, well that would thematically match his point of Jesus as fulfillment. And it does strike me as strange that this story has the angel Gabriel, just as the 490-day prophecy is delivered by Gabriel. There are not many Gabriel passages in the Bible. I admit I did not read the source that Goldingay draws this from ("cf. Dan 9; Laurentin, Luc, 45- 63, following Burrows, Infancy, 41- 42") but I did read TONS of literature on the calendrical arguments hanging on the passage, and none of them raised your alternate days objection. If you got something to shoot my way send it to justinspr@yahoo.com
@@str.77 I wonder how much Luke's infancy narrative, steeped in the language of the OT fulfillment and subject as it is to ancient modes of history, is really a "straightforward account." After all, some of Luke's dates seem to be altered to make symbolic points, such as with the dating of the census and the seeming exaggeration of Caesar taxing the whole inhabited world. My point is simply that parable, symbolism, metaphorical story-telling, whatever you want to call it, creeps into the gospels at various points. These are not biographies in the modern sense. Luke's genealogy of 77 generations is clearly symbolic, though it would appear so straightforward at first glance. My point is simply that we can't withhold symbolic categories from Luke just because he is not apocalyptic, and because he does not openly signal that he is engaging symbolism. He does not announce his intentions in the genealogy either, and it holds more symbolism than just its numbers.
That's right. This is actually the third video in this series on Daniel 9. Daniel extends the 70 years of the Babylonian exile in Jeremiah 25 and Jeremiah 29 to 70 x 7.
+Justin Sproles im sorry friend. I remember in some video you said the whole earth is now Israel (or was it Jerusalem?) And you proved it biblically somehow, can you tell it to me again? i cant remember it nor find the video . pls
I think you are referring to the way the book of Revelation uses Jerusalem. In that book, the local city of Jerusalem which persecuted and killed Jesus has become a global persecution system killing the followers of Jesus. The video under Revelation 11 on the two witnesses.
Thanks so much for your video presentations. I know how much time goes into this sort of thing, and it's very much appreciated. One of the sticking points you mention with regard to a Messianic fulfillment of the 70 Weeks Prophecy has to do with the fact that Jerusalem was not destroyed after Christ died. As you observe, however, the issue of Jerusalem's destruction is also a problem for the Greek view. Either way, nothing seems to line up. This suggests to me that the solution lies with a different approach. In your video on Antiochus and the Antichrist, you mention that, at some point, the angel's discussion of Antiochus switches over to a discussion of the end-time Antichrist, as the events the angel describes do not conform to what we know of the history of Antiochus. I suggest that something similar is going on here in the 70 Weeks Prophecy. The destruction of Jerusalem is not said to happen at the mid-point of the 70th Week, only some time after that, although the wording of the passage seems to run all of the associated events together, making it seem as if they happen simultaneously (just like with Antiochus and Antichrist). For this reason, the destruction of Jerusalem can be viewed as a consequence of Messiah being cut off, but does not necessarily have to occur immediately. I also think the same is probably true where "the wing of abominations" portion of the passage is concerned. We're dealing with a mixing of ideas here. In light of this, I would suggest the last part of the 70 Weeks Prophecy could be reordered to connect related ideas and read this way: "Then after the sixty-two weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing...And he will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering." "and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined....and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, will be poured out on the one who makes desolate.” (NASB) Some might argue that this is a stretch, but if the angel who revealed the prophecy of Antiochus and the Antichrist pulled an abrupt switch in his imagery, Gabriel may have done the same thing with the 70 Weeks Prophecy. In relation to "anointing the most holy place," I would refer to your Revelation video on the passage where John is told to measure the temple and those who worship in it. In that video, you argue that the innermost portion of the temple represents the church in the presence of God, and I think you're probably right. If so, this would fit well with the 70 Weeks Prophecy in that, after his baptism and presentation to Israel, Jesus began to call out his church and gave his apostles authority to minister with power. Here, we have the "most holy," the inner sanctum ministering under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which then came upon them permanently at Pentecost (falling around "the midst of the week" when Christ had put an end to the offerings via the sacrifice of himself). Opinions differ on how and when the 70 Week would have ended in a Messianic fulfillment model, but I think those who argue that it ended with the martyrdom of Stephen are probably correct. It's no coincidence that, after this event, Jerusalem (which is the focal point of the 70 Weeks Prophecy) ceases to be the focal point of the book of Acts. Intense persecution breaks out and the church is scattered. The Ethiopian Eunuch is converted, the apostle Paul (the apostle to the gentiles) is converted, and Cornelius and his family are converted. There is a very clear shift from Jerusalem and the Jews to the gentiles of the nations at this point. Anyway, those are some thoughts I wanted to share. Thanks again for your efforts, and God bless.
You've clearly put a lot of thought into these things. Whatever the solution is for the 70 weeks, it probably does involve a conception that does not so neatly cluster chronological events, but instead permits some lapses of time between events as you suggested. I must say I'd find the Stephen perspective more convincing if LUke had some allusion or echo of the Daniel passage in his narration of Stephen's martyrdom. On the other hand, whatever happens to Jerusalem and the temple in this text is probably prophetically transferred onto the church, and the Stephen perspective would cover that base. I'll think more about it. Thanks for watching these videos! You are right: they take a ton of time. A buddy of mine asked me how much time I put into my video on Jesus and the animal kingdom. When I said over thirty he was shocked. He thought it was about ten hours, which he esteemed to be a big investment. After learning the real number he had a whole new appreciation for the project.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 I wish there was some clear New Testament reference to it as well. Jesus mentions the Abomination of Desolation, of course, but in such a way that it doesn't seem to fit clearly with any of the more likely scenarios, and then we have that cryptic remark "Let the reader understand." That's just it; we don't understand. There could be some sort of dual fulfillment here, as you've suggested, but it's difficult to discern the pattern. Then again, I can't think of any other prophecies that have a dual fulfillment where this is actually indicated in the original prophecy. If Jerusalem and the temple have in fact been transferred to the church, then perhaps the great falling away is the Abomination of Desolation in the church age. The command to flee would then make sense given Jesus' statement about believers being hated for their witness as "the love of most grows cold," but it would require an identifiable trigger event. The only other thing I can add here is that I still favor the Roman explanation for the legs of iron in the vision of Nebuchadnezzar's statue. I've thought for a long time that the Great Harlot of Revelation must be the church at Rome, which effectively left Christ and entered into an adulterous relationship with Imperial Rome, merging with it and taking on the characteristics of an empire. It's interesting to me that the Harlot boasts, "I sit as a queen and I am not a widow and will never see mourning" (Revelation 18:7). When Imperial Rome (that is, political Rome) died, the Roman Church continued on, effectively ruling as a religious empire (sitting as a queen whose husband has died, but now, rather than missing and mourning her dead spouse, she proudly rules in his place). She is called Mystery Babylon, which may make the Roman Church seem improbable at first (given that the Babylonian system is older than Rome), but if the Roman Empire and its political/religious/idolatrous system was the successor state to Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon, then the merger of Rome with the Christian church would represent the merger of the church with the Babylonian system, making this hybrid one and the same entity. In your series on Daniel 9, you mentioned that the feet of iron mixed with clay seems to represent political intermarriage. If we view this spiritually, perhaps this represents a merger of church and state/Christian and pagan. In the ancient world, marriages were expected to be religious as well as political unions; it was expected that a bride would not only support her husband politically but also worship his gods. The joining of the Roman Church with Imperial Rome resulted in such a mixture. If this is correct, then Rome never truly fell because the emperor's adulterous wife (as it were) continues to reign. The Roman Church is a shadow of its former self, but, interestingly, the Vatican is still a political entity and still wields enormous political influence. Perhaps, as we get closer to the return of the Lord, Rome will once again begin to persecute the faithful, and will be part of the Antichrist system that is destroyed at the coming of the Kingdom (the stone that strikes the statue on its feet). I'm not a rabid, Jesuit-conspiracy anti-Catholic or anything; this just makes sense to me. God bless!
When all is said and done not even the Holy Spirit is going to force people to use their brain cells and the proof of this is that 99% of Christendom believe there is a gap between the 69th and 70th week/seven😂.
God is omniscient. He knows everything. He prepared a body for His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to come and feel in the flesh, all what man is going through, while He Himself remains sinless, meaning, He doesn't indulge in sin. So, He eventually was condemned as a sinner- study Mark 14:51, the story of the naked young man. That was the reason Jesus's sweat were like drops of blood, when He got to the last sin He had to deal with that would condemn Him to shame, torture and consequently, a cursed death on the cross- simply because He was set up in the middle of the night, as He prayed, in the garden of Gethsemane, to be doing stuff the laws condemned with penalty of death, by stoning, but was cranked up to become dead on the cross. Judas kissed him, not a peck in the cheek but a full blown kiss, in order to set him up, but he didn't know his act was just a distraction, the people that hired him, already prepared a worse scenario- using the young guy that fled into the night naked. Mark 14:51-52. Jesus Christ refused to tattle on him, nor did he ask them to go get him to speak for him, because He came for the very reason, to die for the undeserved, who, if and when they come to this realization, would immediately repent and accept the cleansing power of the blood that bought them. He even became their high Priest, who is touched by the feeling of their infirmity, understanding where they come from, but hoping they will come to Him and cast it all on Him, and take His Rest! He already made that call!!! Will you answer, will you imagine what they must have done to him, with such a charge, in that day and age? All just to make atonement for every sin conceivable, including what you're struggling with at this moment! Give it all to Him! Being mad at the preacher will not assuage your guilt and self- condemnation, and self torture and self hatred and self judgment. He already did it all- for YOU!!! Which of these religious leaders who abbet them ever promised to pray to God for them. How can the blind lead the blind? Anyone that has encountered God by the preaching of the gospel of salvation by grace through faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and still remain unconcerned and unrepentant, has already forfeited his mercy, and grace that bought him from the devil, who has the power of sickness, afflictions, terror, oppression, death and the grave. No escaping him. Let the love of God for you, in Christ Jesus, constrain you to listen, receive, accept, confess, believe and abide in His love, justification from all your sins, past, present and future, And live the new life purchased by the shedding of His blood, and by imputting God's righteousness that declared you "faultless, blameless ", before the presence of God, with whom you have to give an account, whether you like it or not! No excuses on that day, for God will definitely be Just and Righteous when He metes out judgment, and all mouths will be quiet!
GOD CONFIRMED JESUS DISCIPLES WORD WITH SUPERNATURAL SIGNS/WONDERS/MIRACLES JUST LIKE GOD DID FOR JESUS FOR 3 1/2 YEARS.THE SECOND 3 1/2 YEARS ENDED WHEN PETER VISITED CORNELIUS HOME AND THE GENTILES COULD THEN BE SAVED.SO THE COVENANT--THE NEW TESTAMENT-WAS CONFIRMED BY ALL THOSE MIRACLES/SIGNS AND WONDERS GOD DID FOR JESUS AND FOR HIS DISCIPLES.
Personally for me sometimes history after Bible prophecy shows fulfillment of difficult passages. The destruction of the Temple does not have to fall within the 70 weeks as the subject of verse 26 is the Messiah following on from verse 25. Covenants are generally made through Gods anointed, and this reads better in the Septuagint for me slightly. Christ death annulled the need for animal sacrifice but the Temple was still standing at this point. Luke 21 v 6-7 and verse 20-24 let us see how The Temple destruction does not have to fit into the 69th week but the reference to Abomination of desolation/Titus and future Muslim armies that planted the Dome of the Rock let's us see fulfillment.: 70thweekofdaniel.com I have not checked out Ribera fully but this rings true. The Ezekiel 29 v 12 prophecy is one I believe is staggered but not the 70th week.
I snooped around on the link. Just a quick response. A seven-year ministry of Jesus is hard to support biblically. Some scholars have made the case that in Mark's Gospel it could be less than a year. In John it looks like it's a little over two years (three Passovers). Seven years will be incredibly difficult to deduce from the Gospels. 34 AD as the death of Christ is also hard to come by. In v. 26, whether LXX or MS, the city has to be destroyed at the end of the 62 weeks. Without becoming super-symbolic and fanciful, it will be hard reckon that part of the prophecy. --- I'm glad this guy gives it a shot. I'm glad he doesn't superimpose a gap between the sixty-two weeks and the final week. But ultimately his scheme has loopholes like any other.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Yes, I don't think he is saying Christ has a 7 year ministry. From my understanding just that he is cut off at 69.5 weeks with the other half being the period left before the Jews as a majority rejected Christ with the stoning of Stephen. Also if Christ died at 33 and started his ministry at 30 then this might bear true if he was say 6 mths through his 33rd year.
Hey Hebrews, I took this quote from the link you shared. It's the one that led me to think he was saying a seven-year ministry: "The truth is that Messiah and His Disciples fulfilled the 70th week of Daniel, from 27-34 A.D., when they confirmed with the Jews for 7 years that He is the promised Messiah, who ratified the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Passover Lamb."
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Ah, OK, no, that would just be when 70th week has finished. I have always understood that Jewish priests start their ministry at 30 and that Christ died at 33 or 33.5. At 33.5 would have been when he died and his blood was the new covenant confirmed, he died or was cut off in the midst of a week, the remaining 3.5 of the last week would have been for the Jews as a whole to accept in my opinion.
Hebrews, on my Revelation playlist I show that John, in several places, understands the final 3 1/2 years to be the church age, from the Ascension to the Parousia. In my video on Revelation 13 called "Killing Christians" you can get a run-down of how it works. Anyhow, I've enjoyed the talk.
The millennium is the end of the cycle of the end of sin. Man had a thousand years curse the day Adam and Eve disobeyed God. A day is like a thousand years. The oldest man was Methuselah, he lived 969 years, and the last Adam lived 30 years as the Son of man, a human- Jesus Christ, then He was filled with the Holy Spirit, to become the Son of God 100%God and 100% man, just like the first Adam, who was created flesh and God breathed into his nostrils, to have 100% God in 100% man. Thus, when the mystery of iniquity is dealt with, after the 70th week year of Israel, then the whole world will be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ. This will usher in the kingdom of God, for which Jesus Christ came to preach to Israel, before the gospel of grace- for both Israel and the gentiles, because they rejected their King. The scriptures are going back in cycles, we're now in Genesis 6, 11 and 47.It is like going back to the garden of Eden Isaiah 65; Genesis 5, when man will have to live out the whole 1000 years curse, which ends the wages of sin- death, which ends the cycle of creation, until the new heavens and the new earth is established, where there's no more sin and death. Then the judgment and rewards, abd the institution of mandatory pilgrimage to the New Jerusalem, and then, the Sabbath will be observed, signifying the end of work of both Creation and Redemption of the lost soul of man. Isaiah 66. Every nation will worship God, because there will no longer be evil or Satan present. All have been judged and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone- including death, hell, satan, the antichrist and his false prophets and those that bare his mark. The world will be as God in tended it right from the beginning, after the old earth and the heavens are completely destroyed by fire. 2 Peter 2:10-13; Isaiah 65:17; 66:,15-16, 22; 30:30;9:5 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Joel 2:10;; Nahum 1:5; Zephaniah 1:15-28; 3:8: Ezekiel 32:7-9; Revelation 20:1; Revelation 20:9-11, etc.
Revelation and Daniel will vary a bit on their handing of times, time, and half a time. I discuss this at length in my videos on Revelation 11 and 12. Specifically, John has rounded off the number to accommodate his use of "rectangular numbers."
@@DavidKing-qd3sp In fact, Genesis establishes that sun and moon are the means by which to measure time and festivals. Hence, the only legitimate month is a lunar month alternating between 30 and 29 days. That is, as long as the physical lunar month lasts roughly 29 1/2 days. It is okay to use round, symbolic numbers e.g. in apocalypses, but not in actual time measurement.
@@str.77 ..........opinions are always interesting but facts appeal more to me - read the 30 day for a month in the story of the flood - think you will find it in Genesis 7 and 8 ...
Once again i type the crucifixtion has nothing to do with daniel 9. This scripture talk of end of time that already happen once and we are at the last year of the 70 weeks.
Except that John and Revelation compare Christ's death to the desecrated temple, known from Daniel. They also talk about his death as the arrival of the end of days.

Jesus Christ is the high priest of our profession. Hebrews 3:1; 4:4. He is also the King of Israel, the Son of David. He is the Lampstand, the Two Olive Trees. He pours from Himself into the two branches. Everything comes from Him, because the last king and priest of Israel both came short: Joshua, the son of Josedech - the high priest, was clothed in filthy garments Zechariah 3, because the sin of the people hadn't been dealt with in all the 69 week year in captivity, thus, according to the laws of cleansing, he shouldn't be ministering, but instead, he should die, for his sins and those of the people Leviticus chapters 5, 14, 14 and 17, and Zerubbabel, the seed of David, and the governor of Israel Zechariah 4. Revelation 1:12-13. So, the accuser came to make sure that he dies, to show the righteousness of God. God had to now take it upon Himself to bear these sins, and got him a change of robes, thereby imputting His own righteousness to him, and consequently the people- unworthy though they were, as a "brand plucked out of fire". Zechariah 3:2; Malachi 3:6. God had to send His angels because He wasn't dealing directly with Israel until the prophesy of the advent of the Messiah was fulfilled, then the Holy Spirit would come. God will only return to them at the start of the 70th week year, as their God, to complete the mystery of iniquity and usher in the millennium. Therefore, the two witnesses are Joshua the high priest, and Zerubbabel, the governor Jeremiah 30:21, until the fallen tabernacle of David is raised up again, and the King returns Amos 9:11; Jeremiah 30:9. Thus, they can only rule and minister by the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus Christ at baptism to make Him the Son of God after being the Son of man for 30 years of His life. When the Holy Spirit returns with the saints, He goes back to the Father, in the Son, to make the Godhead complete, until the whole world is reconciled, back to God and He makes all things new again. The angel ignored Zechariah's query about the two olive Tree's, because he should know who they were since the whole prophecy given to him was solely about these two. Moreover, the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah were not concluded. Like the book of Daniel was shut, they would be continuing when the time comes. Israel will continue from where they left off to enter the 70th week year that completes the end of the occupation of the Amorites, when their cup is full to be judged. Luke 21:24; Genesis 15:16 (Still to be fulfilled).
Please do not just take my words as fact, or simply disregard them outright due to preconceived notions, but rather pray in earnest to God, asking for the help of the Holy Spirit to guide you unto all truth & understanding, and diligently search the holy scriptures. God bless and be with you all as you search for the truth of what is to come, as God does not want us to be in darkness, but rather to glory in the light of His truth. Additionally, I highly recommend watching, to answer questions based on the clear words of holy scripture, rather than the thoughts, opinions, & preconceived notions of man, the Revelation series found on the framingtheworld RUclips channel in order to gain insight & dispel the error of man's ways. Isaiah 55:8-9 King James Version (KJV) 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version (KJV) 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 1260 days of tribulation/abomination of desolation followed by 75 days of great tribulation, & the anti-christ continues in power for 1260 days/after the 6'th seal, sun & moon darkened, Jesus comes in the clouds with power & great glory to gather His elect. The dead in Christ rise first, then us who remain follow/after the 7'th seal, there are 1215 days of God's wrath, followed by the destruction of the great whore & Babylon, then the battle of Armageddon. The beast & false prophet are cast into the lake of fire, & Satan is bound in hell until the 1000 years are up/Jesus sets up his 1000 year reign/after the 1000 years are up, satan is lossed a little while to deceive many, then the battle of Gog & Magog ensues & satan is cast forever into the lake of fire where the anti-christ & false prophet are/the earth & heaven fled away from God's face,death and hell are cast into the lake burning with fire. After this is great white throne judgement of the dead & whoever is not found in the book of life is cast into the lake burning with fire/the new heaven & new earth, after which, the city of new Jerusalem descends from God out of heaven, and the marriage supper of the Lamb. Revelation 22:20-21 King James Version (KJV) 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
That’s all from a Dispensational point of view. That’s not biblical. That is a man-made explanation of scripture. The 1260 years was the period of papal persecution From 538 AD to 1798 SD.
@@davidjohnson3095 First off, please READ my comment if you're going to comment on it. But more important, read your Bible, and don't take my word for anything. Like scripture says "let God' be true, and every man a liar". My comment is not, and I am most definitely not a dispensationalist, I run the other way from that crap.
If you think that Satan is bound in Hell for 1,000 years and Jesus sets up a kingdom on Earth for 1,000 years then that is Dispensational teaching. Or if you think that there will be a 7 year tribulation period that is Dispensational teaching as well.
Scripture does say Jesus had a 7 year ministry to the Jews from 27 Ad to 34 AD. For 3.5 years he personally preached to the Jews and in the person of his disciples he preached to the Jews for another 3.5 years. And that was the 70th week of Daniel 9. In Mt . 15.22 Christ said He was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and in Mt. 10. 5-6 He told His disciples - not to go to the Gentiles but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel...so again, you misunderstand scripture. The last week of the 70 weeks involved the ministry of Christ to the Jews and that of the disciples....so you leave no viewer with certainty because you yourself have no certainty of understanding. and the reason you find problems is because you don't understand the prophecies---what you believe to be facts are wrong....the gospel could not go to the gentiles until the 490 years ended in 34 AD with the stoneing of Stephen in acts 7
I appreciate your comments on this video, but, quite frankly, your tone stinks. Justin has clearly spent hours researching the subject and presents the multiplicity of views out there. I appreciate that, so I can better understand the other positions, and enter discussions with others who may hold a differing view. He's one of the few I will listen to, because of his approach!
@@MrsBSHignite ...........I am not sure if my comments were harsh but he needed to tell his view and not just several possibilities. The correct starting date was 457BC and Nehemiah's request was a request and not a decree as stated by the other 3. But I will consider what you have said - thanks.
Daniel 9 has nothing to do with Antiochus Epiphanes....he ruled from 175-163 BC , Jesus was 27 AD for His anointing at His baptism, so definitely not Antiochus, that view is a Jesuit view proposed by Preterists.
I have three videos on Daniel 9 shifting through the Antiochus and the Antichrist perspectives, their strengths and weaknesses. I also have an Antiochus vs Antichrist video on Daniel 11.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 I have a book that gives over 40 reasons why A. E. is not in Daniel ...but read my comments on why there are not 2 persons anointed in daniel 9...one is the sanctuary in verse 24 the other is christ in 25.the heavenly sanctuary had to be anointed before Christ ministered there , same with the earthly....so Dan. 9 is all about christ...see Exodus 30. 26-29 for anointing of sanctuary before usage.
Justin, I can share with you the total interpretation of Daniel 9. 24-27.....or go on line and listen to a scholars view....william shea/daniel 9........it is precise and correct
there are not 2 persons anointed in Daniel 9...it is all about Christ....when the text in verse 24 talks about - anointing, it is speaking of the most holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary, every sanctuary was anointed before usage, so when Christ went to heaven to serve as our high priest according to Hebrews 8.1-3, that sanctuary was anointed...but in verse 25 it is speaking about Christ personally being anointed at His baptism by John.....SO---you can see where this presenter has gone wrong...few people understand Daniel or Revelation...And I assume much of what he will say is totally wrong - but those who are not well versed will accpet what he says as bible truth---
Justin, why don't you present your personal view rather than several potential views as that would be more beneficial to people.....but I have to say, from what I hear you say here - you do not understand the book of Daniel and especially Daniel 9. I have to acknowledge that you are a gifted person but you have acquired the wrong facts and that is what you are presenting. I will listen to your views on Revelation....because I have never met a person on these sites that understand Daniel and Revelation. You say all views have weaknesses but that is not logical because the book of Revelation is a "Revelation" and Daniel 12: 4 says the book of Daniel was only sealed till the time of the end - we are pass that particular time....we have entered the time of the end. So, what can I say - you present possibilities but I remember the scripture that said of Jesus - He spoke as one having authority for He had the facts of truth.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 In a book called -selected studies on prophetic interpretation by William H. Shea he has 28 pages of why Antiochus is not the little horn of Daniel 8. I will also check later to see if I can find more material on that subject. But I hope you noticed my point on Daniel 9. 24 where the phrase "anoint the most holy relates to the heavenly sanctuary and not to a person - but in 25 it does refer to Christ for Messiah means anointed one. And every temple was first anointed before being used. But William Shea is a scholar - you would enjoy his video on daniel 9. 24-27.

He came as a Hebrew speaking Hebrew to Hebrews. He does not have a Greek word name. His Father has a Hebrew name. He has a Hebrew name. His name is not Jesus. His name is not Jesus Yashua. Nor Yashua Jesus. The word Jesus is not a transliteration of a translation - that's a deception shell game. It is to insult Him to call Him by a word other than His name. His name is Yashua. The Father's name, singular-name, has been RnR d 6,827 times in the canonized Books, Yod Hey Vav Hey - Yahavah, being removed and replaced with "the Lord". Acts 4: 12, Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name given under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. HalleluYah!, Yashua is the Son of Yahavah.
The NT isn't written in Hebrew, so they were using the Greek name ιησους. Joshua's name had already been transliterated this way for hundreds of years so we know it was a standard transliteration. Epitaphs throughout Galilee were written in Greek so we know many Galileans knew, and even preferred, Greek. Jesus uses Greek terms, like "hypocrite" - the Greek word for actor, so he probably has familiarity not just with Greek terms, but with the Greek theater. Jesus likely had his conversation with Niocdemus in Greek since, as is well known, that conversation cannot be succesfully backtranslated into Hebrew or Aramaic. He probably developed Greek when he worked at at Sephoris a few miles from Nazareth. The whole Hebrew vs. Greek thing is a fringe movement. It is laughted at in universities and language schools.
there are 2 anointed ones....one is a person meaning Christ the other is the temple in heaven which is to be anointed..Messiah means anointed ...the most holy in 24 is the temple ---Christ is the anointed one in verse 25...before Christ could start his priestly ministry in heaven that temple had to be anointed...Read the book "Daniel" by William Shea

Hello Sir, @scripturethroughancienteye1509, I see why you fight so much against the rapture (pretrib) and the 7-year period being in the future. I pray the LORD guides you in the correct path and that you don’t start the next Christian cult. As I told you before, if you are honest and love God please reconsider your stance, seek the truth regardless of pre-conceived ideas. With this video you are fighting against Jesus’ own words ☹ ☹. You say no one in the NT ever refers to the last week being in the future. So sad buddy. JESUS DOES!!! Mathew 24:15 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” You know that there is only two places where Daniel mentions the abomination of desolation. In both instances it is the last week of Daniel’s 70th week. That is Daniel 9:27 “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.” And Daniel 11:31-37: “31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. 32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits…. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” Please note that in Daniel 11 this is talking about the time of the end as well “40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him:” Please note as well that Jesus in Mathew 24:15-21 tells you that this abomination of desolation stands in the holy place at the time of the end, in THE FUTURE!!! “21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” I know you are confused making the 70th week in the past implying it happened already. You are saying that Jesus is the antichrist!!!!! Any Christian that believes the last week in the 70 weeks in about Jesus is stating that Jesus is the antichrist!! Can’t you read plainly that Daniel tells you in Daniel 9:26-27 that after the Messiah is cut off (that is Jesus dies) in 26 first half of the verse, then in the second half of the verse after the comma is another prince (that is the antichrist) that comes to defile the sanctuary? “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. 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…” In Daniel 11 Daniel expounds and tell you how evil this second prince is, that is the antichrist!!! Not Jesus!!! The one that takes away the sacrifice is not Jesus it is the evil one!!! Jesus even tells you the same in Mt 24:15 that the antichrist will defile the sanctuary in the FUTURE in the time of the END. The Church fathers from the 1st and 2nd century also tell you the same thing I am telling you: Irenaeus a disciple of the disciples of JOHN the apostle in his book “against the heresies” tells you in his book that Mat 24:15 is in the FUTURE in the reign of the antichrist says “Daniel TOO” confirming that this was for the FUTURE in the end and continues in the same passage to tell you that Paul also confirmed this is in the FUTURE so that after he declares himself to be god (a false god) he will reign for 3.5 years: “and it shall be given into his hands unto a time of times and half a time, i.e., for three years and six months, wherein at his coming, he shall reign upon the earth. And of him again the Apostle Paul also in the 2nd to the Thessalonians announcing at the same time also the cause of his coming, saith thus:[* ]And then shall the unrighteous one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of His Mouth and destroy with the presence of His coming; whose coming is after the working of Satan…” Irenaeus explains this plainly to you in early 100’s AD: “and will sit in the Temple of God, beguiling those who adore him, as though he himself were Christ.][* Wherefore Daniel saith again, ]And the holy place shall be desolated: and sin is given for sacrifice, and righteousness is cast down upon earth, and he practised, and it prospered. And Gabriel the Angel explaining his vision said of this same Being[ e];[* ]And in the last time of their Kingdom shall arise a King very stubborn in countenance”… Ireneaus tells you the one that takes the sacrifice away is the antichrist in the middle of the last week: “And he proceeds to signify the duration of his tyranny, in which time the Saints shall be exiled, who offer to the Lord a pure Sacrifice.[* ]And in half the week, saith he, the sacrifice and the drink offering shall be taken away, and into the Temple [shall come] the abomination of desolation, and even to the completion of the time shall a completion be given over the desolation; now the half of the week is three years and six months.” Irenaeus tells you the same words that I have been trying to tell you in all my previous comments in your past videos that you are ignoring and instead trusting in your Church Historians that you hang out with, Irenaeus says: “For if the Lord gave His approbation to Daniel’s predictions about the end,[* in the words, ]When ye shall see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of by Daniel the Prophet; (now to Daniel the Angel Gabriel made an exposition of the visions:” Irenaeus the bishop of Smyrna to whom the apostle John wrote the letter of Revelation to says again about revelation: “Chap. XXVI. § 1. Again, yet more expressly, hath John the Lord’s Disciple in the Apocalypse signified concerning the Last time, and the 10 Kings which shall be therein, among whom will be parted the Empire which now reigneth: expounding the 10 horns which were seen by Daniel:” Then in Revelation 11: 2,3, 7,11 you will learn if you read that the two witnesses preach the gospel for 3.5 years before the antichrist reveals himself as this false god and begins his reign. He then kills the two witnesses and then in verse 12 the two witnesses are raptured up to heaven. But then again because you only believe in one final rapture in the second coming you won’t call this rapture in 11:12 a rapture will you? There are different raptures, many not just one, this one 11:12 is just one of them and the whole period of this one week at the end is 7 years. Jesus, Daniel, Paul, John and all the first century church fathers (the real ones not heretics like the roman-Egyptian so called church fathers 300-400 AD). Note, even though they corrupted everyone to believe in a post trib rapture I am not saying they weren’t saved, I don’t know, if they truly accepted the LORD Jesus as LORD and Savior they were, this only God knows. I could write you a book but will you even try to hear Jesus' words in Mat 24:15? Jesus told you there that Daniel's 70th week is in the future!!!! You know Tovia Singer agrees with you that it was in the past. You know why? because he knows Hebrew and no one that knows Hebrew will say that the prince that takes away the sacrifice in the middle of the week is the Messiah, that is the antichrist!!!! Isn't it a shame that Tovia Singer agrees with your timeline that the last week is not in the futre? He says that because he rejects Jesus. So, do you see that by preaching/teaching what you teach you are rejecting Jesus in a sense? I don't know if you will recant of your teachings about this topic, I am just so sad about how many people come in here saying how great your material is as if they have been enlightened. So Sad.
You wrote a lot here. I'll respond briefly with three points. 1. I used to be a pre-trib rapture man. The fact that I have changed my mind shows I am capable of going against my preconceived notions. 2. I do not suggest that language pertaining to the Daniel's final week doesn't show up in the NT - It's just ALWAYS the final 3.5 years, not a final seven. The passage you mentioned, Mat 24:15 is the start of the final 3.5 years. 3. Revelation is especially interesting because the final 3.5 years begins at Jesus' crucifixion in Revelation 12, and lasts until the second coming. I have other videos on this. John says he's already in the tribulation (1:9), and things that Daniel says won't happen until the final 3.5 years are things John describes as already happening (such as the unsealing of the book in Revelation 5, for example). This is why Revelation ends in contrast to Daniel when John is told not to seal up the book. Daniel is told that it is sealed until the time of tribulation. John isn't supposed to seal it up because tribulation began with the suffering of Jesus, and continues with all the saints throughout the age.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 you are right in one thing here buddy. That in mt 24:15 Jesus is referring the last half of the week as I wrote above. My point is that Jesus is making a reference to Daniel 9:27 that is the 70th week where in the middle of the week the antichrist confirms a covenant for this week and in the middle he ends the sacrifice!! Daniel 11:30 and in explains in more detail that the Antichrist is the one that ends the sacrifice! In the end time! So you see Jesus is telling you Daniel’s 70th week is in the future! It’s easy bro. Try not to see me as someone to fight off, read the references I’m giving you. You are skimming through with a made up mind. Moreover revelation 11:2-3, tell you that the two witnesses preach for 3.5 years before the antichrist comes in v.7 to kill them. V14 this happens before the third woe. After the third woe is from 11:14 and on… I’m the reign of this antichrist that is the last 3.5 years. You say the last 3.5 years begins at Jesus crucifixion. That is blasphemy you are saying Jesus is the antichrist there buddy!!! You are claiming Jesus is the one at the middle of the week in Daniel’s 70th week. This is what I’m asking you to reconsider. You can’t be this naive!! I got so mad at Tovia Singer two years ago when he put out a video saying Christian’s teach Jesus is the one that causes the sacrifice to end in Daniel’s 70th week. He laughed at how ignorant Christians are because it is plain that this is the antichrist! But now with you I see why he says these things.
@@WordLogos You keep telling me what my views are on the 70th week. Not so! I think Jesus is the desecrated temple at the middle of the week, a status in which his church share until the end of the age (hence the NT's concern with the final 3 1/2 years and never with the full 7). "Tear down this temple and in three days I will raise it up again." When Jesus is crucified the blood and water that come out of his side reveals he is the temple at the end of Ezekiel, a well-known interpretation. He is the violently desecrated temple. Jesus continually is referenced in Johannine literature as the endtime temple. As is the church. I have a short video on Why Revelation 11:1-2 does not teach a literal temple, dropped it about a month ago. If you watch that I will continue to discuss. Otherwise we will talk past each other because you won't understand my view.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 I’ll watch your video, I do listen carefully to all who oppose the word of God. Your view still contradicts Daniel 9:27 and Mt 24:15 Jesus said the antichrist will defile the temple in the future at the time of the end when in v24 there will be great tribulation such as never was nor will be!! This refutes your view completely. Because you are saying the antichrist killed Jesus (desecrated the temple) at the crucifixion. No Jesus said that the antichrist defiled the temple in the future, in the beginning of the great tribulation! Ireneaus explains it better than me, he said in 2 th. Paul says that beginning of the middle of the week happens when this antichrist sits in the temple of God and claims to be God. Listen to yourself you are saying the antichrist already sat on the temple of God at the crucifixion! I will watch you Mr video tonight. But you missed my point on 11:2-3 as well. God tells you there is 3.5 years before the antichrist rises up from the bottomless pit. It’s easy language bro. Why do you not understand? He rises up from hell to the Earth and kills the two witnesses!!! You agree there is 3.5 years after this guy shows up why can’t you see the 3.5 years before he comes in plain language in rev11:2-3?
@@WordLogos The beast in Revelation is a transhistorical figure. Sometimes he is described with the language of Nero, who persecuted Christians; sometimes with the language of Domitian, who persecuted Christians. He is not one figure at one time. He is a sequence of figures who culminate in the final antichrist. The beast in Daniel is a sequence of empires and their kings. John mixes different empires from different periods into one beast. Why? Because he wants you to know the same beast, the same seed of Satan, opposes God throughout the ages - he just takes on different political forms. The Greeks, Romans, Ottoman Empire, Nazis, USSR, ISIS - whatever - they are all the same beast until the end of the age. Even the figure in Daniel 11 has his first appearance in Antiochus Epiphanes, the most common reading of Daniel 11 (I have a video on that called Antiochus or Antichrist), and he prefigures the antichrist. So yes, the beast has been around a long time, since well before Jesus' birth, and he will continue to be until the end. This is why John combines different symbols from different ages into a single transhistorical beast.
The writers of the New Testament did not write about Jesus fulfilling Dan9:24-27 because it was not revealed to them, "seal up the book..for it is not for you to know Daniel it is for an appointed time at the end of days ".....
mark 1.15 proves you wrong

And Wow!, I had forgotten your conclusion. I love it. Love your honesty. 🤗 I think that ‘because’ you conclude with “I don’t know, but neither does anyone else,” gives major credentials to your final analysis. The Dispensationalists are coming to the table with a point to prove; you simply want to decipher what the text is saying.
Appreciate that Freedom. I remember when I made that video I felt a bit disappointed that I couldn't solve everything for my audience. But the truth is this passage is plagued by a lack of candor from its interpreters. Just an honest assessment is a step in the right direction
The book of Daniel is 95% understood by scholars and the 5% which sits in the shadows can be surmised by the texts in Revelation that deal with persecution of the church . The only texts that are considered challenging are those in Daniel 11: 40-45, the rest is known. Daniel is told in 12: 4 to shut up the book and seal it until the time of the end - we are in the end since 1798.
God gave us Daniel to understand and not to be uncertain about it
@@DavidKing-qd3spGod gave Daniel to his chosen people; the scriptures were written for us but not to us.

Daniel 9:26 tells you plainly that Jesus fulfilled the 70th week.
No, He fulfilled the 69th week( 62 and 7). The 70th week is the seven year period of the Tribulation and antichrist which is still to come. There is a gap between the 69th and 70th weeks called the Church age.

Most excellent. Definitely meat to chew on and continued prayers for wisdom. **** Daniel 12:10 ...but the wise shall understand. Maranatha!
Thank you Justin for the time to prepare an open and honest video. I believe we each have been given a little piece of understanding and no one alone has this all figured out. Perhaps a day will come when those of us interested in prophetic timing can discuss, share, and pool our collective insights and increase our knowledge in the process without letting our intellectual pride block the way. After all, any wisdom or insight we might possess comes through the grace and mercy of the Father.
I will share my current understanding of Daniel 9. I believe it to be a multi layered prophecy with messages to both people of the book, the physical descendants of Abraham as well as the spiritual descendants, Christ being the bridge between the two.
I believe the top layer is a historical layer measured in the cycle of Jubilee, of which there will be 70 for the Jewish people, seventy “sevens”. These are not measured from Daniel’s time forward, but are measured as in Revelation “that which was, that which is, and that which is to come, spanning from the first Jubilee in Joshua’s days to the final Jubilee.
I’m assuming that what is spoken by Isaiah to King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:29 is referencing a Sabbath year followed by a Jubilee year. Sabbath year, Nisan 701 bc to Nisan 700 bc / Jubilee year Nisan 700 bc to Nisan 699 bc. If that is true, then counting back to find the start, then counting forward.
7 until an anointed one - King David,
62 more until an anointed one “governor” is cut off - Yitshak Rabin
1 left after then, the mid point quickly approaching
The 1260 days of Revelation fit perfectly with the above Jubilee cycle. In fact the way I understand these 1260 days to be measured there were 1211 between the ascension of Jesus to the Jewish army taking control of the Temple Mount on 6/7/1967. Yitshak Rabin being the chief of staff of the IDF forces at that time. That left 49 days
As I said, this is just one layer of Daniel 9, the Jewish historical layer.
Thank you for allowing me to post this.
I appreciate the tone of your post. Decent dialogue is hard to come by on the Internet, especially when talking about books like Daniel and Revelation!
The 1290 days of Daniel becomes 1260 days in Revelation. This is to conform the number to a rectangular number. I explain all this in my videos on Revelation. I recommend checking out some of my stuff from Revelation 11. Blessings
Have you given any thought to the possibility that when the unbelieving nation of Judah was let go at the end of Acts, that all of their end time prophecy was also let go? Do we ever see Paul in his post-Acts epistles reiterating the restoration of the kingdom to the (formerly) chosen people; or instead do we see Paul declare a kingdom with the name of the Son of God on it (Colossians 1:13 KJV) and not theirs? The original Jews began to die off and the Jews that established modern Israel in 1948 were the descendants of Eastern European Gentiles that chose to convert to Judaism a few centuries ago. Is it logical that God would fulfill prophecy with people that have simply co-opted the identity of the original chosen people?
Totally forgot Gabriel shows up for Daniel and Jesus. Great presentation.
Yeah it's an interesting connection considering both Gabriel annunciations have this 490 aspect.
I think the decree of 457ish to Ezra best fits the propecy because within the decree, Ezra is authorized to appoint magistrates and civil officers who had power to execute judgements up to death or banishment. This would restore the city as a political entity. The end of the first 7 of 7s could take us to about 410 or 409 BCE which may coincide with the death of the last Old Testament prophet, Nehemiah or Malachi. There would then be 434 years until John (27 CE?) who prepared the way and would anoint the Messiah (baptize) after the 69 weeks, in the 15 year of Tiberius, Luke 3 (depending on whether you count his 2 year co-regency beginning in 12 CE, or his sole regency in 14 CE). Christ then confirms the covenant with Israel for one week; half in person until he ends sacrifice with his crusifix, and half through his apostles until Acts 7-10: Philip baptising the Ethiopian eunuch; Stephens martyrdom; Peters dream of the unclean beasts and subsequent baptism of Cornelius; the conversion and baptism and mission of Paul primarily to gentiles. These events complete the 70th week and open the covenant to the gentiles. The destruction of the temple and city would come after the close of the 70th week as a sign to Judah that Messiah had come and as a desolation for continued abomination of blood sacrifices in a temple (house) and by a people (house) Christ had declared "desolate" on his final exit from the temple at the end of Matthew 23. And the desolation would continue until HE restores the house in Jerusalem (Malachi 3:3-4) once he has purified the sons of Levi. But I could be wrong....
.....you are right about 457 as the starting date for the decree . The 490 years tell us that Christ would be baptized in 27 Ad crucified in 31 and then the 490 end in 34 Ad with the stoning of Stephen. It also tells us that in 34 the Jews would no longer be God's chosen nation for bringing the Gospel to the world, this is also told in the parable of Mt. 21: 33-44, verse 33 says the kingdom will be taken from you...but what is more interesting is that the word determined in 9.24 means -cut off, so they were cut off from the 2300 days of Daniel 8. 14, which has the same starting date as does the 70 weeks as one is not given for the 2300. So 2300 beyond 457 tales us to 1844 Ad that is when Christ began cleansing the heavenly sanctuary otherwise known as the day of atonement or the day of judgment, so in 1844 Christ began judging the world for rewards or punishment, which means we are very near the end.
The call to rebuild Jerusalem's walls and streets came on March 14, 445 B.C. When you do the math ( converting from a prophetic year of 360 days to 365 days, and adding 116 days for each leap year, and counting 1B.C. to 1 A.D. as only one year not two) you end up at April 6th 32 A.D. when Messiah was "cut off" . Jesus made a reference to the 69th week during His triumphal entry into Jerusalem in Luke's gospel when He said " If you, even you had known what day this is and the things that make for peace...".
Thank you for this comment. A few initial thoughts.
The first of which is just to highlight that 444 is an option for the walls and streets as I noted in the presentations, and thus we are unsure that 445 is correct. Also, there are other proposed starting points that may account for the data better (see the previous video in this series). One other thought concenrs the 32 AD date for the crucifixion. Most historians place it on 30 or 33 due to the perceived need, based on the gospels, to have Jesus crucified on a Passover Friday. If this is right, 32 is not a viable year.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 We actually are sure that March 14 ,445 B.C. is correct because archeologists have record of the decree written by Artaxerxes.
@@markanthony3275 Yes but the dating of it was uncertain, two-year window. Unless something changed in the last few years
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 According to Dr. Randall Price, the world expert on Biblical archeology the declaration came on March 14, 445 B.C....there is no question about this because they have found the records wherein the date of the declaration was recorded.
@@markanthony3275 Is Price the world expert? I read his big book on the temple in BIble prophecy. I was no aware there was any such thing as a world expert on this. If there was, I assure you he wouldn't teach at DTS.

The 70th week of Jesus’ ministry includes the last 3 1/2 years of His life and the 3 1/2 years that the Jews had to repent until Stephan’s stoning in 34 AD. It’s easy to figure out. Why are people having trouble figuring this out? The math all adds up.
I think the reason it doesn't strike people as so obvious is because the prophecy says the city is destroyed after the first three and a half years, and this didn't happen in the decade of Jesus' dead, and the final seven years is the sanctification of the city, which certainly didn't happen at the time of Stephen's stoning. In order for your theory to be "easy to figure out," it must have some remote correspondence with the predictions of the prophecy.
Thanks for replying. The prophecy is talking about the generation of Jesus. A generation could be up to 40 years so 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed was still within the generation of the people who heard the message.
70 weeks were determined for the Jews to turn around. They didn’t so Jerusalem was destroyed within a generation. 34 AD was the final date for Jewish probation. They turned on Stephan In one final act of rebellion thus sealing their fate. The end of the 70 weeks was 34 AD. Then the message went to the Gentiles.
@@davidjohnson3095 But 490 years was not for the Jews to turn around, but until the restoration of the temple, the city, and the forgiveness of sin, and for sealing up the prophecy of the Exile's end, as Gabriel explains in Daniel 9. How the gospel turning from Jew to Gentile has anything to do with Daniel 9 is perplexing; the prophecy itself does not mention that. It mentions, in the final week, a covenant maker being cut off at the time the temple and city are desolated, and then the city being restored and the bad guy being taken out three and a half years later. I know the Stephen view is out there, but I have a very hard time seeing its correspondence with the data in Daniel 9
It says in Daniel 9 that 490 years was given to the Jews to make reconciliation for iniquity.
There is nothing in Daniel 9:24 to 27 about an evil figure. It’s all about Christ. Christ is the one who makes the covenant with many and then is crucified halfway through the final week.
I am referring to the start date of the ''rebuilding'' of Jerusalem. Nehemiah asked if he could go back because he heard that the city lay in ruins. He was given this information in the 20th year of Artexerxes which was 445 BC. Subtract 483 - 445 = 38.................but we must subtract 1 year because there is no time space between BC and AD. Jesus did not appear in 38 AD he was killed then. Just after Jesus died, this same year, Pontius Pilate was called back to Rome, by Tiberius Caesar, who actually also died the same year. Check it out.
I discuss this view at the thirty-minute mark.
Norman - Nehemiah's decree was not a decree it was the granting of a request by Nehemiah -all other decrees start by saying - I make a decree except for the one for 445 Bc...so 457 is the proper date
@@DavidKing-qd3sp I think not king david
I read an opinion that the first 49 years supposedly marks the end of the OT Canon, with the writings of Ezra / Nehemiah.
Hello Illinois, I actually covered that perspective in my previous video (I made three videos on the 490-year prophecy). It's not a perfect theory but it does have some considerable merit.
At 30.41 he quotes Neh. 2" 8 & 17 ....the texts says he granted me my request - therefore there were not 4 decrees for what is assumed to be a decree is actually a "request." The other 3 decrees start out by saying - I make a decree - so there are only 3 and the proper date for it is 457 BC...that takes you to his baptism - crucifixion and the end of the 70 week period. Any other date would put you about 10-70 years outside the time of his baptism in 27 AD...and the 490 day / years are cut off from the 2300 in Daniel 8.14....every commentator will say Christ was crucified about 30-34 Ad...but the correct date is 31...
Say, since the prophesy is about Jesus, instead of tracing Mary’s time of uncleanliness & purification it would be more appropriate to indicate that Jesus was crucified (cut off) in 33 A.D. by which time he was 40 years old.
John, my understanding is that those who see the 490 days in Jesus' infancy as indicative of Daniel 9 see it as a preamble to Jesus' adult story. They see the 490 years as culminating with him being cut off, but the 490-day chronology is meant to forecast what is eventually fulfilled by the entirety of the Christ Event.
Hello...this is very interesting and I appreciate your providing a balanced perspective showing strengths and weaknesses.

Do you happen to have any videos on the sabbath and the feasts of the LORD?
Hi Natalie, no but I should have! I have a lot to say on those topics, some of which is meant to elucidate the meaning and function of Sabbath and festivals, and some of which is meant as a corrective to the way those things are commonly taught these days. But I don't have anything on here I don't think. Come to think of it, I have one video on Torah and the angels that is a corrective to the messianic movement. But unfortunately I don't have a video that explores the topic from a more positive angle.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 thank you for your response! 🙏 yes there are o many movement who say these things are for today And I have looked very In depths from both angles and I can see how both sides believe the way they do But I know that 1 or the other is right not both of them.

We must each work out our own salvation with fear and trembling thats for sure. Thank you and God Bless 🙏
Justin, I admire your ability to respond kindly to unkind comments. I will admit this Dan 9 prophecy is hard for me to align with history, and I have been watching Tubes that have it "all figured out". Your video was refreshing because you considered the possibilities rather than the "clear" answer that others comment, but they havent produced a video to explain it. I also appreciate your answering the comments, which some YT have comments turned off. this shows me you are open to discussion and perhaps solving the riddle crowd sourcing. I wonder if Isaiah's Chs 44-5 mention of Cyrus, 2chr36:22-3 words to Cyrus, Ezra 1:1-4 and 6:1-12 words to Cyrus, indicate we should "try-on" a Cyrus timeline. Also, no gaps, but what if "respectively speaking" the first 7wks. are to the rebuilt temple, then the 62 weeks are from the anointing of the temple to Messiah the Prince in some period, Holy Spirit anointing at baptism could be a specific event target . John 2:20 has some greek variations, but if 46 years to build, that is close to 49 from decree to completion? Please forgive my naiveté. also the people of the prince that will come shall destroy the sanctuary. same prince (jews involved), different prince (romans 70AD)
I appreciate the kind words. Sometimes it kind of trips me out how rude Christian viewers can be. Calm commentators are always welcome.
I like your idea but if the final seven years of the timeline begins with the baptism are you going to posit a seven-year ministry of Jesus?
And again, thank you for the support. As you can tell I've had a hard time getting this channel off the ground.
@@joshuapillai9814 I would have difficulty with the notion that the seven weeks refers to the renovations. I don't recall what Fredrick's view did with the sixty-two sevens or the final seven. The sixty-two sevens requires construction of the city in hard times. Jerusalem was wasted for most of the period following Jesus' generation. If Fredrick's view involves a parenthesis (sixty-two sevens pass, then the clock stops for a long time, then the seven kick in later) that will be a form of special pleading akin to Dispensationalism.
Of course I am probably speaking out of hand since I do not recall the other components of that view, but regarding the first set of sevens, it seems clear to me that the order to rebuild the temple is the end of Jewish exile, not the beginning of an architectural upgrade by a king in a city that has long since been reinhabited.
the Prince of the people is Christ - the Jews are the people who destroy the city through their rebellion
I’m one of those formerly brainwashed Mid Acts dispys who wrote a novel about the “rapture” and the trib/second coming! Like E.W. Bullinger, I have recanted my work and I hope my book has not done too much damage! It does have several presentations of the saving gospel of Jesus Christ so it has some redeeming value (forgive the pun)!
you are very much confused - sad to say ...read the book the great controversy by E.G. White and get your theology on track
@@DavidKing-qd3spYou want me to learn from a possibly demon-possessed woman that claimed she was instructed by an angel from God, first that God commanded her and her church to observe the Sabbath from 6 pm Friday to 6 pm Saturday, and then some years later the angel CORRECTED that to from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday as it was observed by the Hebrews. So who made that blunder? God or the angel?
And you want me to respect the written words of a woman that was proven to have plagiarized 90% of her works? I passed a SDA booth at our State Fair a few years back and the nice young man at a table full of printed material called out to me, when he saw me perusing it, "Would you like to buy the "complete words of Ellen G. White"? I said rather loudly, "Can I just get the 10% that she actually wrote herself - it'll be easier to carry!" He got red in the face and said, "Please move along..."
Then we have the little matter of her prophecies of which not a single one has ever come true. And her racist and just plain silly blunders like saying that wearing wigs causes insanity, and that black people are an "amalgamation between humans and apes." That last one has been frantically expunged from the public record but there is still plenty of evidence that she said it; it's locked in the SDA vault along with other embarrassing gaffes she made, like the time she told the women in her church that God had ordered her through the angel that modesty required all of the women (who were wearing floor length dresses already), to wear men's trousers under their skirts and she began doing so along with all the ladies in her church. They began doing it in the autumn and they probably appreciated the extra warmth in the winter and early spring, but when the weather grew very warm the slacks were increasingly uncomfortable. EGW was the first to quietly stop wearing them and the ladies in her church quickly followed, with no one, especially EGW ever mentioning it again.
The silliest doctrine of all that the SDA teaches is the "Investigative Judgment," which is like the Candid Camera of religion because "When you least expect it, you're elected - but it's not your lucky day (unless you happen to be in a coma)!" Jesus chooses a random day in your life and it is on that day - and that day alone - to judge you to see if you are found worthy of receiving eternal life. And that one day decides your eternal destination no matter how good or bad your behavior is afterward! Just knowing that there's a secret day you'll be judged really keeps you on your toes, doesn't it?
I'm sorry that you are caught in Ellen's web and that you are choosing not to simply place your faith in our Saviour, Jesus Christ, that he has done everything necessary to grant you eternal life as a free gift (Eph 2:8 & 9) that can never be forfeited for any reason, not even terrible sins (Eph 4:30 KJV), because part of that gift is the "forgiveness of sins," (Col 1:14 KJV). There is no judgment for those that have Christ's righteousness replacing their failing self-righteousness; we have the righteousness of God in Christ!
Now isn't that better than believing someone that prophesied that Jerusalem would never be inhabited or built up again? Someone that forbid her church from eating shellfish while, according to a letter her son wrote to a friend, she closed herself into her library every Sunday afternoon and slurped oysters from the shell in secret!
@ScriptureThroughAncientEyes Thank you for the detailed video. What bible verses say that the temple is to be destroyed during the 490 year timeline as you pointed out? Thanks and keep up the good content.
Dan 8:11; 9:26
And I appreciate the kind words.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 All the chronologies are incorrect because they ignore the clear proof of scripture concerning when the 490 years are to begin. They begin with the decree of King Cyrus and NOT ArtaXerxes or any other. We will prove this scripturally beyond a shadow of a doubt in the following scriptures below:
*ISAIAH 44:24-28:*
24 “This is what the Lord says-your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself,
25 who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense,
*26 who carries out the words of his servants and FULFILLS THE PREDICTIONS OF HIS MESSENGERS,*
*who says of Jerusalem, ‘It shall be inhabited,’ of the towns of Judah, ‘They shall be rebuilt,’ and of their ruins, ‘I will restore them,’*
27 who says to the watery deep, ‘Be dry, and I will dry up your streams,’
*28 WHO SAYS OF CYRUS, ‘He is my shepherd and WILL ACCOMPLISH all that I please;*
*HE WILL SAY TO JERUSALEM, “LET IT BE REBUILT,” and of the temple, “Let its foundations be laid.”’*
*ISAIAH 45:13*
*I WILL RAISE UP CYRUS* in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight.
*HE WILL REBUILD MY CITY* and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward, *says the Lord Almighty.”*
*EZRA 1:1-2*
*Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; AND HE HATH CHARGED ME TO BUILD HIM AN HOUSE IN JERUSALEM, which is in Judah.*
RECORDED IN THE HISTORY OF JOSEPHUS WE FIND THAT CYRUS WROTE THROUGHOUT ALL HIS DOMINIONS THAT:
"God almighty hath appointed me to be King of the habitable earth" AND THAT "He indeed foretold my name by the prophets, and that I should build him a House in Jerusalem which is in the country of Judea."
Josephus goes on to say that, when Cyrus had heard the words of the prophet Isaiah, "He called for the most eminent Jews in Babylon and said to them that he gave them leave to go back to their own country, *and TO REBUILD THEIR CITY JERUSALEM & THE TEMPLE OF GOD."*
Josephus also gives a copy of a letter written by Cyrus to governors that were in Syria which read as follows:
""King Cyrus to the Sisinnes & Sathrabuzzanes sendeth greeting. I have given leave to as many of the Jews that dwell in my country as please (to do so) to return to their own country, and *TO REBUILD THE CITY, AND TO REBUILD THE TEMPLE OF GOD AT JERUSALEM* on the same plaece where it was before." (Antiquities Book XI, Chapter 1, Section 1 & 3)
The proof that the rebuilding of the city by the decree of Cyrus is so conclusive, that Prideaux (one of the leading commentators on Daniel) bluntly admits that "Jerusalem was rebuilt by virtue of the decree granted by Cyrus in the first year of his reign."
Yet Prideaux rejects the decree of Cyrus as the starting point of the 70 weeks prophecy, simply because he shared the mistaken idea (for which there's NO PROOF of any kind) that 490 years wouldn't reach to the the days of Christ from the decree of Cyrus.
The fact is that Prideaux admits, that to take ANY OTHER EVENT AS THE STARTING POINT, OTHER THAN THE DECREE OF CYRUS, IS TO FALSIFY THE PROPHECY. It's a choice between the clear statements of the Word of God, and the guesses of heathen historians and astronomers. This is for the benefit of those that accept the Word of God as conclusive.
*It's true that in the statement of Ezra 1:1-4, the rebuilding of the City isn't specifically mentioned, but that emission HAS NO GROUNDS for assuming that the decree of Cyrus DID NOT PROVIDE FOR THE REBUILDING OF THE CITY, much less does it afford REASON FOR SETTING ASIDE THE WORD OF THE LORD SPOKEN BY ISAIAH.*
you are wrong the date is 457 ......................................@@ruahfire7566
The Israelites never used a pure lunar calendar. While they were in the Holy Land the Priests would observe the barley crop and would add an extra lunar month to the year whenever the crop wasn't ripe in order to indicate the arrival of spring. They did this to make sure that Passover came after the start of spring. During the Babylonian captivity the Jews devised a 19 year cycle that added leap months on a set schedule so Passover was kept in the spring. Normal Hebrew years could be 353, 354 or 355 days (since days were added so the new moon fell on the 1st day of the week so a weekly sabbath and a Holy Day sabbath never fell back to back to give a 48 hour sabbath). But, in a leap year an extra 29 or 30 days would be added. The combination of normal and leap years in the 19 year cycle meant that 19 lunar month years would have the same number of days as 19 solar years.
Patriot, we are agreed that after adjustments are made, adding extra days to re-align the seasons, the additional days can square with a solar calendar. However, whether or not Daniel's prophecy accounts for these (extra-biblical) though necessary adjustments to the biblical calendar is debatable. The strictly solar calendar needed to sustain Enochic connections, if that is what you are commenting on, is hard to sustain. And much of what we think we know about Jewish calendrical practices in the exilic and pre-exilic periods is speculative or extrapolated on the basis of later Rabbinic texts. I don't know which specific bit of the presentation you are responding to but I regard hard claims about early Israelite calendrical practices with caution because scholars are not agreed, especially when it comes to Daniel's prophetic years as to whether leap months should be added, or precisely how they would have been rendered.

( KJV ) 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. "
In the Torah it reads " from the going forth of the word " . The English KJV reads " from the going forth of the command " which is the word.
Both the Torah and the English KJV read " unto the Messiah the Prince " Which is speaking of his appearance to Israel.
( KJV ) Daniel 9: 26 : And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off " etc
Note the word " after " which means after the prophecy has been fulfilled he would be cut off.
Concerning why Gabriel broke down the numbers the way he did , I think you are correct in thinking that the " seven weeks " he separated as reference to Jubilee cycles which references God's calendar.
I think that the God who knows the end to the beginning has revealed Gabriel's \ Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy within the very first sentence of the Torah.
The book of Jubilees which God revealed to Moses is God's yearly calendar. He teaches us how he keeps track of literal years within the earthly realm. In the book of Genesis God confirms the number of years that Adam lived and teaches us his view of the patriarch's lives according to symbolic numbers \ years which to God are more important than literal years.
Understanding this and also understanding that the old Testament ( Torah ) was written in God's Hebrew language which was \ is a numeric language we see that the God who knows the end to the beginning started it by writing ......
" בראשית ברא אלהים את השמים וא ת הארץ "
" In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth "
Numeric value = 2701
2701 breaks down as 37 x 73. The number 3 represents Gods divine perfection , the number 7 represents God's divine completion. The number 37 represents God's divine perfection completed. The number 73 represents God's divine completion perfected.
If we place the numbers 37 and 73 together to make the number 3773 ?
The numeric value in God's Hebrew language for the word " אמת " which means " Truth " = 3773.
The number 3773 breaks down as 7 x 7 x 77.
I don't think these numbers are by accident , but what could they mean ?
Well , God has shown us that he has a calendar. His calendar started on day \ year 1 of creation and consist of 49 year cycles. There was a 7th day of a 7th week of a 77th Jubilee cycle.
It was the last year ( Jubilee year ) of the 77th cycle. 77 cycles x 49 years = the Hebrew year 3773. Did anything significant happen in the Hebrew year 3773 ?
In the Hebrew year 3773 was the Roman Gregorian year 13 AD.
The answer is Yes, God put on flesh and blood and was walking on the face of the earth in the Hebrew year 3773.
I believe that it is clear as crystal that Yeshua was 12 years of age in the year 3773 , and it was the fulfillment of Gabriel's prophecy which he gave Daniel in Babylon , the 483 years from the word to the appearance of the Messiah to Israel. It fits like a glove.

Traditional Christian teachings want to tells us that this could not be because of what the book of Ezra teaches us about King Cyrus decree. The Torah tells us that Gabriel told Danial that the clock to start the count down to the appearance of the Jewish Messiah would start upon the "word" given that Jerusalem would be rebuilt and the KJV Bible tells us it was upon the "command" . Neither use the word "decree" . Although God did say in advance ( Ezra ) that He would use King Cyrus to rebuild Jerusalem , I don't think God would leave it up to an earthly King ( man ) to decide when to start the count down ( clock ) to the greatest prophesy in the history of history. Could God have put the word on the lips of King Cyrus ? Of course he could , He can do anything He wants. But according to God's numbers the word was spoken in the Hebrew year 3290 ( 470 BC ) we know this because of the year which the prophecy was fulfilled was the Hebrew year 3773.
Shalom ✌
Based on Matthew 10:5-7, and Romans 1:16, and Galatians 1:14-18, the Gospel was taken "first" to Daniel's people for a period of about seven years, before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles.
SpotterVideo - The best part of this video is between 35:50 and 37:07 which shows that God will "leave them without an excuse." Daniel prophesied about Messiah as the "Suffering Servant" aspect first; his "Kingship" per se was not an issue with Daniel. You are correct in that "first" God had to deal with His people, the "Children of Israel" up UNTIL the stoning of Stephen. The 490 years of "determination" were ENDED but that did not mean He would no longer establish His rule on Earth via His son the Lord Jesus Christ, which is YET to be FULFILLED. In the mean time God has been calling out a people for His name via Grace through Faith in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ and his ATONING/RECONCILING work on the "tree" on Calvary.
However, the intervals betewen certain evens in Acts are not always clear. 7 years seem way to long and, anyway, it wasn't Paul who first went to the Gentiles.
@@str.77 True, but who was given the specific assignment of taking the Gospel to the Gentiles?
Rom 15:15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,
Rom 15:16 that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
@@str.77 - You are correct that, "...it wasn't Paul who first went to the Gentiles." If you start counting the 70th "week" WHEN Jesus ( Messiah the Prince) first BEGAN to preach the "Gospel of the Kingdom", at 30 years of age, to the Children of Israel, for 3 1/2 years before he was "cut off", then, in Acts, the Apostles did not preach to Israel exclusively for 7 years but for only 3 1/2 years. Therefore, you are correct in saying, "...7 years seem way to long and..."
Jesus fulfilled the 70th "week" Prophecy in it's totality. In the first half he was on Earth with his Apostles; in the second half he was in Heaven with his Apostles on Earth. In BOTH situations it was HE who was doing the work. Once Stephen was "stoned" the 7th "week" for the People of Israel to an end. The RESULT for the Nation was Judgement/Condemnation which was fulfilled in 67-70 A.D. The RESULT for the Gentiles was Peter being sent to the House of Cornelius, the UNCIRCUMCISED, with the "Gospel of the Kingdom". Peter did not preach "the cross of Christ" because that message had not been revealed as yet. He knew that Jesus was the Messiah but he did not know the things which would later be REVEALED to Paul by Christ.
God was showing Peter that the UNCIRCUMCISED Gentiles, if they obeyed the "Gospel of the Kingdom" message, would ALSO be accepted by God, without being "Proselytes" to Judaism. However, there is no indication that Cornelius was invited to eat with the Jerusalem "Church". There was still a separation between Circumcised Jews who were "in Christ" and Uncircumcised Gentiles who were "in Christ". This SEPARATION would come to an end AFTER Jesus CONFRONTED Saul of Tarsus and trained him and revealed to him the "Gospel of the Grace of God", i.e. the RECONCILIATION of BOTH Jews and Gentiles through the blood of Christ.
Interesting how people problematises this text for many different reasons. One would start with lift up ones eyes and look at the reason why Daniel gets the prophesy in the first place and whats Gods purpose with the prophesy in verse 2.The seventy comes from the seventy years of captivity. The house of Judah were allowed to come back for a reason. The tribes of the house of Israel didnt get a second chance. why? God had a purpose. He had promised David that he should have a son on the throne for ever. It starts even earlier in Jacobs prophesy to his sons before he dies. Genesis 49:10. So to fullfill prophesy of the coming of the Messiah, which means the annointed one, he had to have the jewish people in the land under occupation of the romans.
If reading carefully in Dan.9:25 the time is for the coming of the annointed one and there is no time mentioned to the destruction of the town and the sanctuary. The purpose for the annointed is to fullfill verse 24. Therefor it can not be a future event either. In the middle of the week, what if it is 3.0 years isnt it still in the middle of the week. Time times and a half time in Daniel and the revelation is a roughly timeframe but 1260 days is exact. Can it be that 490 years can be in the same way a bit roughly. Anyhow its hard to check now so long time afterwards to really be able do get the right startingtimes in history which can be truly reliable without doubt. The fortynine years may be the time it took to rebuild the basics of the town and the walls and the temple. The 62 weeks is a transportation in time.
God showed me this about Daniel 9:27 He showed me Hes.36:26 and Jer.31:33. from there he took me to Dan 9:27: He shall make a firm covenant with the many for one week and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. After that he took me to Math.26:28 Luke:22:20. This did set me totally free from everything I had heard of teachings on the 70`th week of Daniel and a felt such a joy from the holy spirit when I rescieved it.
The best way to resolve this issue is by doing the calculations correctly.
The prophecies of Daniel's 70 weeks. The order to restore and build Jerusalem and described by the prophets as being the order of Cyrus, who would be the liberator of Jerusalem and who would build Jerusalem, as supposedly the calculations did not match the staff forced the idea of another decree to justify the prophecy, The year of the Decree of Cyrus and traditionally dated 536 BC, pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profecia_das_setenta_semanas The problem is not in the date but in the calculations, mainly related to the last week.
It is necessary to understand that the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks refers to the covenant, the city of Jerusalem, to Daniel's people, until the 7 weeks are for the rebuilding of the temple and 62 weeks are for the coming of the Messiah, the last week would be to make atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, make a repair with many for a week and in the middle of the week the anointed one would be roped.
Jesus made atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, Who are Daniel's people? Abraham. Isaac, Jacob etc. A very important detail in these prophecies, which we must take into account, is the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem. To make atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem for each year of sin of the people of Daniel, it must be atoned for one day, Ezekiel chapter 4 verses 4,5, 6 and 7. The first half of the last week comprises the period of Baptism of Jesus until his death, in days this period of time has a total of 1260 days, or half of a week of 7 years, (considering a year of 360 days) as to make the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem must to atone for each year of sin of the people of Jerusalem for one day, the number of days in which Jesus made atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in this case 1260 days, are the equivalent to the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in years, we can then conclude that the sins of the people of Jerusalem were 1260 years, making the chronology from the decree of Cyrus, from 536 before Christ with a time interval of 70 years referring to the time of captivity, we will arrive at the year of 606 before Christ (536 + 70 = 606) beginning of the 70 years of Babylonian captivity, with a time interval of 1260 years, referring to the days of atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, referring to the period from Jesus' baptism to his death, we will reach the year 1866 before Christ, (606 + 1260 = 1866 BC) we will reach the pact with Abraham or the sacrifice of Isaac, Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, in the same way that Jerusalem was cut in half of a week of 1260 years. see chronology below. The testimony of Jesus and the spirit of prophecies. we can therefore conclude that half a week has a period of 1260 years, referring to the covenant with Abraham, and a seven or a week taking into account Jesus' sacrifice has a total of 2520 years, with the end of the covenant cut in half a week of 1260 years, just as Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, the period of the nations begins, or of Babylon the great and her harlots, in this case the harlots are those who came after the fall of Babylon, the Medes and the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans, with the end of this period of time and the beginning of the times of the Gentiles, or the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon the Great and her harlots. The times are as follows: one time (1260 years or half a week), 2 times or double the time (2520 years a complete week) and half a time (the other half of the week or the 42 months of times of the Gentiles, which in days are 1260 days, which taking into account the pact for a week would be the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon and her harlots. I hope to help in some way. God bless you all, amen. Further clarification follows videos and research sources. The last week ends in the year 2026. with the time already shortened.

Daniel’s 70 week prophecy or 490 years are continuous. They are not meant to be split up. No prophesy is split in the Bible. It begins with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem in 457 BC. Then it extends to Jesus‘s baptism in 27 A.D. Then to Jesus‘s death in 31 AD. The last 3 1/2 years end with Stephen’s stoning in 34 AD. That is the last chance for the Jews to repent but they do not. This is the only way the math truly works.
Amen, I can agree with that.
Even Jesus himself split up prophecy. Compare luke 4v19-21 with Isaiah 61v1-2 . Jesus stopped mid sentence and said ' this prophecy is fulfilled ', but the day of vengeance wasn't fulfilled.
There you go.
Daniel 9:27 ... is speaking of the new covenant that Jesus Christ our promised Messiah confirms with many, for three and a half years of the seventieth week, (not as the unlearned, who give this covenant to the antichrist) from his anointing~baptism at the age of thirty, to his sacrifice and death, and resurrection when he was thirty three years of age, for the remission of sins.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, [G1242] which was established upon better promises.
{Hebrews 8:6}
For this is the covenant [G1242] that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; *I will put my laws* into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
{Hebrews 8:10}
For this is my blood of the new testament, [G1242] which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
{Matthew 26:28}
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, [G1242] which is shed for many.
{Mark 14:24}
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament [G1242] in my blood, which is shed for you.
{Luke 22:20}
32:00 The manipulation of the 483 years is usually not done by taking recourse to lunar vs. solar years but by inventing "prophetic years" of 360 years. That is wholly wrong headed as Daniel talks (weeks of) years, not individual days. The Jewish lunar calendar uses leap years so that any difference at worst can be one month.
a day in bible prophecy equals a year see Eze. 4.6 and numbers 14.34 (and Gen. 29.27)....proof that a day equals a year in bible prophecy is the fact that not all the events spoken of in the text could be fulfilled in days---such as 490 days in Dan. 9. 24-27 or 2300 days in Daniel 8.14....because we have the starting dates for such events and they span centuries. We know that Daniel 9 deals with prophetic days of years. I hope I did not misunderstand your point.
@@DavidKing-qd3sp a day in bible prophecy MIGHT equal a year. But that's not necessarily so.
However, your supposed prooftext do not prove anything.
-Numbers 14.34 clearly spells out that 40 days of spying will lead to to 40 days of wandering.
-The same is true for Ezechiel 4.6: God tells the prophet to lie down for a day for each year.
-Gen. 29.27 is totally irrelevant for this. Jacob has to serve 7 years for Rachel just as he served 7 years for Leah.
@@DavidKing-qd3sp PS. Why are you even posting this as a response to my comment above. Hardly anyone questions that the weeks in Daniel 9 are weeks of years. (I of only one guy on youtube who would think otherwise.) I certainly did not dispute this. What I did point out however that the units Daniel 9 operates in are weeks of years. It doesn't operate in individual days, which would be "minutes" in terms of the prophecy. But such minutes never appear.
@@DavidKing-qd3sp The point is that Daniel 9 tells us in which week (of years) or after how many weeks (of years) something will happen. Only once, "in the middle of the week" does the prophecy indicate when during a week something will happen.
The point is that it is inadmissable to transform the 7-year-period (week of years) into so and so many days and then turn them into years of a differing length. Prophetic years do not exist and the discrepancy between lunar and solar years is dealt with by leap months inserted when necessary. Hence, we can gloss over that discrepancy.
Note also that the prophecy never says: exactly at the end of the seventh year of that week something will happen.
Alas, there are nitpickers that think unless the final event in the prophecy happens precisely 176,400 days after the decree was given, the prophecy isn't true.
The book of DANIEL not only has a 483-day [year?] period, but also a 2300-day period. Why? Could it be because both numbers are evenly divisible by the number 23, just as 1656 is?
The Creation took 7 days (the Sabbath Day being the last thing created), and 7 days = 604,800 seconds. That number -- 604,800 -- also represents the number of DAYS from the Creation to the Flood. If you add up the number of years -- and notice that GENESIS does not use "and months and days" when calculating the times from Adam through to Noah -- it turns out that Noah was born when 1056 years had passed since Adam, and since Noah was 600 years old when the Flood struck, that means there were 1,656 years in what we could call the First Age or Antediluvian Age.
Divide 604,800 by 1,656 and you get 365.2173913 days per year on average, which is 365 and 5/23rds days. Multiply that by the denominator [23] and you get 8,400 days per 23 year period = 1,200 weeks.
Clearly, this 232-year period is important, as it is the key to the chronology of the first major part of GENESIS. The number of seconds in Creation Week equals the number of days in the Antediluvian Age: 604,800.
The 70 Weeks prophecy has that odd 7+62=69 weeks preliminary before the final 70th Week. If we take the 69 weeks as meaning 483 years, then since 483 = 23 x 21, we can posit that the 483 years would not equal 483 x 360 = 173,880 days (figuring a prophetic year as being 360 days long), but would, instead, be 21 x 8,400 = 176,400 days long = 21 cycles of 23 years.
Now, the final (i.e. 70th) 'week' might very well consist of years with an idealized number of months [say, 42], each month being 30 days long, totaling 1,260 days. Maybe. REVELATION seems to insist on such a timescale, probably allowing for the word "time" in DANIEL 12 to mean a period of time that isn't necessarily a year (whether a solar or lunisolar one).
But notice, too, that DANIEL has that "2,300 evenings and mornings" prophecy [8:14]. Notice that 2,300 = 23 x 100, or (perhaps) 100 of those 23-year cycles = 840,000 days = 120,000 weeks. I can't think of a more relevant use of the number 23 than in reference to the 23-year cycle that underlies the GENESIS chronology, indicating that the author of DANIEL indeed had a 2,300-year timeline in mind. However, to insist that the 2,300-years and the 70 Weeks (of years) have to begin at the same time -- as Seventh Day Adventists do -- is unwarranted, in my opinion. If the author of DANIEL believed that the 23-year period was significant, so that 72 such cycles culminated in the Flood judgment, then a passage of an even 100 such cycles predating the culmination of the Sanctuary's Restoration seems symbolically appropriate.
But that makes one wonder: when might the 2,300-year prophetic period begin, if not at the start of the 70 Weeks (as many insist)? Here's one suggestion: since the 1,656-year period [72 cycles of 23 years] ends with the Flood, perhaps the 2,300-year period [100 cycles of 23 years] begins where the last one left off . . . so that the total number of years from Creation through to the Restoration of the Sanctuary would be 1,656 + 2,300 = 3,956 years = 172 cycles = 1,444,800 days = 206,400 weeks.
There seems to be little agreement, though, on when the Creation happened. The traditional Jewish Calendar dates A.M. 1 to 3761 BC, which would put the Restoration in the year AD 196; if the author of DANIEL had high hopes for that future year, however, history didn't pan out that way. Ussher's date of Creation, 4004 BC, would lead to the Restoration being in 48 BC -- which was damn near the reform of the Roman Calendar (i.e. Julius Caesar's calendar reform of 46 BC) but undoubtedly was not the intent of DANIEL. The 1,656-year period was so obviously concocted by the writer(s) of GENESIS well after-the-fact to make it seem reasonable to conclude that the end of the 2,300-year period (also a literary concoction), being a before-the-fact calculation, could only represent a hope for a Latter Day fulfillment . . . one that hasn't happened and probably will never happen, no matter when you back-date the Creation to.
No one in the New Testament mentions Daniel’s count as a proof of who Jesus was. That’s a problem. Abraham overcomes Babylon and Joseph dumond use a jubilee count of 49 years x 490 and start from the events at Sinai when they became a nation. The narrative about the end of sin, etc implies to me the 490 shabbuahs is the complete history of Israel. Might check it out. I can’t remember the whole theory right now. I don’t have my notes.
Common understanding is the verbatim in English. Not 2 messiahs, but the rebuilding of Jerusalem, followed by the coming Messiah. Plain text.
The early church, and modern translations, struggle to know where one of the sentences ends and another begins, and whether or not they should follow the Masoretic notations in dividing up those sentences. I explain this in another video. It's a very difficult text because we don't know for sure and the difference in the pointing of one word changes the substance of the prophecy.
All that is to say, if it is a "plain text" then you must have discovered something about Hebrew pointing that the rest of us don't know. In which case, I am listening.
He builds his major point over 2 anointed ones but there are not 2 people being anointed - it is a person and a place, the person is Christ in verse 25, the place is the heavenly sanctuary that was anointed in 24 before Christ started His ministry, even the earthly sanctuary was anointed before usage...so this person, sincere and gifted as he is - is confused. Messiah means anointed one. Christ was anointed at His baptism. In exodus 30. 26-29 you will find references to the anointing of the earthly sanctuary before usage.

{Daniel 9:24} < The context
And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ("Behold your house has been left unto you desolate.")
{Daniel 9:27}
7 weeks + 62 weeks + *one week* = 70 weeks, to anoint the most Holy, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy.
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, *It was necessary* that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: (for there were three and a half years remaining grace for "thy people" of the final week.) but seeing ye put it from you, and *judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life* lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
{Acts 13:46-48}
To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until *the land had enjoyed her sabbaths* for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
{2 Chronicles 36:21}
For 490 years, equal to 70 sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that Israel and Judah transgressed the law of God.
This is why they received seventy years exiled in bondage in the land of Babylon.
There was no gap in their seventy years in exil, and there is no gap in the 490 years of transgressing the law of God, and there most certainly was no gap unto the coming of the Messiah who did not come in a vacuum, but rather confirmed his covenant with many for there and a half years, and in the land of Israel's inheritance.
The stoning of Steven is when probation closed on the covenant that God made with the their fathers, exactly three and a half years after Jesus Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us, and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven went out unto the Gentiles also.

No prophecy is of any private interpretation.
Was the covenant made with Abraham or with the Gentiles? or with both? for how long ?
What i can't understand is why the apostles and early church leaders would not have been declaring that the 70 weeks prophecy signalled the arrival of the Messiah. Many other Old Testament propecies are marshalled in the New Testament for that purpose. Seems the wise men may have calculated that fact.
Some say that the declaration in the Gospels that "the time is fulfilled" is a reference to this very thing. As I put in the video, some think this is why his birth narrative in Luke is 490 days. The church fathers did discuss this as well.
Thanks for the reply and also for the most comprehensive video I have ever seen on this topic. Another thing I have often wondered is why such a pivotal prophecy is so hard to understand.
@@Kevin.Williams1965 Yeah, this text has earned its reputation. Several who watched this video complained to me that I did not draw up in firm conclusions, but just cut down the options. But what else could I do? Pretend? For me the only NT book that seems to have a firm view is Revelation, and it stretches the final three and a half years to cover the period from Jesus' ascension to his return. So John of Patmos is clearly playing by other rules when he reads this. Not sure any of our most intuitive or natural-feeling approaches are going to pan out or get us to where he is on this.
From my investigation of the Gospels, I cannot substantiate a three and half year ministry of Jesus. However neither do I agree with the dispensationist view. The destruction of Jerusalem is mentioned in the prophecy, but is not in the list of stated purposes given at the beginning, as far as I can tell. I can't shake the feeling, however, that the seventieth week being divided in the middle somehow relates to the three and a half years in Revelation. Sometimes I think that the first half the seventieth week was fulfilled in AD 70, and the other half in Revelation. But this requires disconnecting it from the rest of the prophecy, as the dispensationists do. I don't see a confirmed covenant anywhere. Also, you disagreed with the lunar calendar view, but in Revelation, if it has any bearing, 42 months are defined as 1,260 days.
@@Kevin.Williams1965 I agree that a 3 1/2 year ministry of Jesus is hard to defend. The only real timeline we get is in John and it is only a bit longer than two years (beginning with a passover and ending with a third passover). I'd be open to the sort of formula you just outlined, not withstanding the reservations you shared about it.
As far as the calendar in Revelation, 1260 days isn't strictly lunar. A real lunar calendar would require a leap month. Daniel said 1290 and Revelation says it's thirty days less, getting rid of the leap month that would make it truly lunar. It's like John gives us a lunar calendar of 30 days, but eliminates the necessary leap month to signal that his period is not a literal three and a half years. He also has a number game going on that involves rectangular numbers at that point. I have videos on that.
I think It's only one 3.5 years. Once named 42 months , once mentioned as 1260 days. Same period different contexts. That why it's differentiated. I think Christs crucifixion was at AD 30. Then exactly 40 years (same period as Israel in the wilderness, and many other 40 year periods in scripture) to 70AD. This takes care of "final 3.5 years". The city was destroyed in +/- 64 by the fire, separate from the total destruction of the temple. Let's not confuse city with temple.
Good post.
I agree it's one 3.5 year period. Revelation's use of it, however, is another thing. In Revelation 12 and elsewhere John stretches the 3.5 years to cover from the ascension to the return of Jesus, the whole church age. Daniel has no sense of the numbers working that way. John's revelation goes above and beyond Daniel's use of the numbers.
I knownthis is bout Jesus.
But please explain the "anointed one" in v24 and v25.
The verse indicates these are the same anointed one.
Your use of "2nd" annointed in v25 is not a valid exegesis.
Hey, thanks for commenting!
If we follow the Hebrew text they are two different anointed ones; if we follow the Greek text they are the same person. This video is part of a three-part series (though most folks don't watch the first two). In the introductory text I outline the differences and reasonings behind the two renderings. Be blessed.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509ah okay. I didnt watch your vide whole, it was discussed
Romans 15:8-10 KJV
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:_*
[9] 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.
[10] And again he saith, *_Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people._*
Luke 24:44-45 KJV
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that *_all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me._*
[45] Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Then in the very next scene of Acts Peter explains how the church is the rebuilt tent of David. And in Romans, we have the land promise confirmed to the gentile and Jewish church in 4:13
Proof the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled in the past:
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.
yes He does. imo.
Excellent video! But I would add that the 7 year "end of time" ideas are not solely based off of Daniel. There are a few passages in Revelation that imply 3.5 or 7 year time periods then as well.
Yes, those are 3.5 year passages. In Revelation 12, as well as other places, John stretches the 3.5 years across the entire church age from Jesus' ascension until his return. So definitely not a part of a literal seven-year scheme. One of my most recent videos was on this. You may check it out if you like, under ten minutes.
Daniel was written hudreds of years prior to enoch, you can’t say that Daniel used lunar calendar because Enoch did, non sequeter
But I agree with some of the other points. You need a stronger case for non-lunar calander by Hebrew people 600 years prior to Messiah
Thanks for the comment! Most scholars contend that this part of Daniel was written in the second century BC. This makes it contemporaneous with Enoch or, perhaps, Enoch was even a little bit earlier than Daniel.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 that logic would bring Daniels prophecy into question if it was a late ammendment
@@estimatingonediscoveringthree Yeah I have videos discussing the issue of dating different sections of Daniel. Virtually every scholar accepts a second century bc date for this part of Daniel, including Evangelical ones. Though of course on the lay level a different assumption prevails.
If some of Daniel was written at a late date this means that SOME of its material is ex eventu, written after the fact. This is not necessarily a terrible thing for those of us who believe in Daniel. Ex eventu prophecy is often joined with actual predictions of the future in Daniel. Ex eventu prophecy is a part of the writing conventions of the ancient world, and we must assume that God spoke to ancients in an ancient way, as opposed to speaking to them with our modern assumptions of how prophecy should work. For later prophets to write in Daniel's name is to say, among other things, that one is not going to write in his own name out of humility, and also to say that one's prophecy is a continuation of Daniel's earlier material on some substantial level relating to its form and content.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 so the initial writing of Daniel was edited or Daniel is not inspired writing. At what point could we receive a edited version of Daniel and say “sorry, that’s too late to be cannon”
If your appealing to late amendments to scripture, your basically operating from a premise scripture is man made.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 scholars say it’s late because otherwise they would have to say it’s supernatural knowledge of the future. They don’t want to do that, so they change the timing. Which is circular in itself, since dates are derived from artifacts and events, that are logged in the annuls. Do you see the problem?
God gave Daniel the end time vision and revelation, and he couldn't understand what he heard and saw. Thus, the bible was shut in Daniel 12:4 because he couldn't comprehend what the angel that talked with him was saying, especially about a Savior who would be cut off- it didn't make any sense, and about the end of the world. He was only praying for God to remember His people in captivity, who are nearing the completion of their 70 years in captivity. It was then the 69th week year, so God sent the angel to let him know that His people were not ready, and they wouldn't be able to return to the promised land- which will reject them, as they were cast out already because of unbelief and disobedience to the law of the land. In His mercy, God was going to play His ultimate card - send His Son to finish the work and restore His people. But, they have to go through the period of the wrath of God, so to spare at least some, God ushered in the dispensation of Grace- whosoever would believe in Him, through the sacrificial death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His Only Begotten Son, and accept Him as Lord and Savior, will be spared.
Thus, he was told to go rest till the time of the end when everything would've come to pass already and would then be easier to understand.
The book of Revelation is the revealing or clarification of those things that Daniel couldn't understand at that time, especially that of a suffering Messiah, who will later be glorified (Benoni to Benjamin), now made manifest to him and not to the Apostle John as many thought, to whom was revealed the conclusion of the grace dispensation of the church.
Daniel was referred to as "greatly beloved" Daniel 9:23, and the Apostle John often referred to himself as "the desciple whom Jesus loved ", other than that, there's no where in the scriptures where there's any reference whatsoever, to connect him to end time revelations. Thus, Daniel must have been referred to as the man greatly beloved, (like Solomon and Benjamin), rather than by his name in the manuscripts, thus, it was attributed to the Apostle John as the person to whom the vision was revealed. Could it also be possible for Daniel to be the one on the Isle of Patmos since there was a reference of him appearing again at the time of the end in Daniel 12?
Jesus, as the Lamb of God, took the book that was sealed Revelation 5, and opened it physically in Luke 4:17-21, after His baptism and anointing, now filled with Holy Ghost and power, as the Messiah, to begin His ministry, as it was written of Him Psalm 40:6-8. He quoted the first part of Isaiah 61:2 because that was what He had come to fulfill. Isaiah 63:4, let us know that the second part would begin after the completion of the first part.
The day of the Lord's vengeance is now upon the world. The acceptable year of the Lord is fast closing. Let's endure till the end by His grace. In Jesus' name. Luke 4:17-18, Isaiah 61:2, 63:4, 34:8; 35:4, 33:22. Psalm 91.
We have no excuses. The bible will be shut again very soon, as the Holy Spirit that was sent to teach, help us understand, interpret to and lead us until the time of the end would have taken all Believers up and out of this world, thus, the bible returning to how it was in Isaiah 28:11-12; Amos 8:11-12. Everything written and revealed is unfolding.
They have started to make sense as the day draws near.
The whole counsel of God will be fulfilled, and then the end will come.
Daniel actually needed the revelation of Jesus Christ to the Apostle John, in Revelation chapters 1-4, In order to understand the end-time prophecy God sent the angels to reveal to Him, before continuing from Revelation chapter 5 onwards, till judgment and rewards.
Daniel was told not to seal the prophecy at this time, once everything already became clear, and he got the full understanding of past, present, and future events that should begin to unfold from then onwards, which he couldn't understand before, and got the book of prophecy shut until its revelation, hence the name: Revelation. Revelation 22:10.
God was ready for the prophecies to begin to unfold. The next is the ushering in of "The Day of Vengeance of our God " after " the acceptable year of the Lord." Luke 4:17-20; Isaiah 61:2; 63:4.
We need to be prepared!
Two points: 1). 70, 7’s are not years but heptads. The Hebrew has a word for years but it is not used here. This prophecy is based on events and not wooden time. Similarly is the prophecy of Jesus as Jonah was 3 days and nights in belly of whale. Not literally 72 hours.
2). Jesus told disciples “when you see the abomination of desolation”… it would be an event they would see. What was it? Who was it? It was the One who said He was the bronze serpent raised in the wilderness. Jesus became sin for us. Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.
Daniels prophesy ends with Christ death. It’s not about years… it’s about events.
I am okay with it not being wooden time. Of course some things will have to be explained. For example, the passage explicitly takes the 70 years of Jeremiah as its starting point. While the word "years" is not explicit in Daniel, it is in the source text Daniel depends on. If one wishes to see a development in which Daniel transforms Jeremiah's meaning that is fine. It will just have to be explained.
A few other important clarifications would need to be forthcoming as well, such as the rebuilding of the city, the desecration of the sanctuary, and other predictions in this text.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Again, Jesus declared the "abomination desolation" would be seen by those he was speaking with (namely: Andrew, Peter, James and John). Note the personal pronouns used by Jesus in the discourse "you" and "your"... The death of the anointed Messiah ends in a horrid death in which he takes the abomination of sin and dies for it. This is seen in him being "bronze snake", "cursed on a tree", "made sin who knew no sin", etc. I'd implore you to look for Christology in this prophecy. Have a Christocentic view of Scripture! As our Lord declared, "They speak of me..."
@@melharness9385 I'm not bothered by this perspective. But having toyed with Daniel 9 for a long time I know that everybody cheats to make their interpretation work.
I suppose my only other question would be: How does your view reckon with the 3 1/2 years of Revelation? If all of the 70 7's are completed in the Christ Event, why does John discuss the final 3 1/2 as not fulfilled after Jesus' ascension?
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Is correct. Now all you have to do is calculate the 70 weeks with the correct time intervals, taking into account Daniel's prayer about the sins of his people that would be atoned for. How is this calculation done?
The prophecies of Daniel's 70 weeks. The order to restore and build Jerusalem and described by the prophets as being the order of Cyrus, who would be the liberator of Jerusalem and who would build Jerusalem, as supposedly the calculations did not match the staff forced the idea of another decree to justify the prophecy, The year of the Decree of Cyrus and traditionally dated 536 BC, pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profecia_das_setenta_semanas The problem is not in the date but in the calculations, mainly related to the last week.
It is necessary to understand that the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks refers to the covenant, the city of Jerusalem, to Daniel's people, until the 7 weeks are for the rebuilding of the temple and 62 weeks are for the coming of the Messiah, the last week would be to make atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, make a repair with many for a week and in the middle of the week the anointed one would be roped.
Jesus made atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, Who are Daniel's people? Abraham. Isaac, Jacob etc. A very important detail in these prophecies, which we must take into account, is the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem. To make atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem for each year of sin of the people of Daniel, it must be atoned for one day, Ezekiel chapter 4 verses 4,5, 6 and 7. The first half of the last week comprises the period of Baptism of Jesus until his death, in days this period of time has a total of 1260 days, or half of a week of 7 years, (considering a year of 360 days) as to make the atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem must to atone for each year of sin of the people of Jerusalem for one day, the number of days in which Jesus made atonement for the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in this case 1260 days, are the equivalent to the sins of the people of Jerusalem, in years, we can then conclude that the sins of the people of Jerusalem were 1260 years, making the chronology from the decree of Cyrus, from 536 before Christ with a time interval of 70 years referring to the time of captivity, we will arrive at the year of 606 before Christ (536 + 70 = 606) beginning of the 70 years of Babylonian captivity, with a time interval of 1260 years, referring to the days of atonement for the sins of Daniel's people, referring to the period from Jesus' baptism to his death, we will reach the year 1866 before Christ, (606 + 1260 = 1866 BC) we will reach the pact with Abraham or the sacrifice of Isaac, Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, in the same way that Jerusalem was cut in half of a week of 1260 years. see chronology below. The testimony of Jesus and the spirit of prophecies. we can therefore conclude that half a week has a period of 1260 years, referring to the covenant with Abraham, and a seven or a week taking into account Jesus' sacrifice has a total of 2520 years, with the end of the covenant cut in half a week of 1260 years, just as Jesus was cut in half of a week of 1260 days, the period of the nations begins, or of Babylon the great and her harlots, in this case the harlots are those who came after the fall of Babylon, the Medes and the Persians, the Greeks and the Romans, with the end of this period of time and the beginning of the times of the Gentiles, or the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon the Great and her harlots. The times are as follows: one time (1260 years or half a week), 2 times or double the time (2520 years a complete week) and half a time (the other half of the week or the 42 months of times of the Gentiles, which in days are 1260 days, which taking into account the pact for a week would be the other half of the week that was cut off by Babylon and her harlots. I hope to help in some way. God bless you all, amen. Further clarification follows videos and research sources. The last week ends in the year 2026. with the time already shortened.

@@scripturethroughancienteye1509
There are 3 references in Revelation of a 3 1/2 year time. Each seems to be a different context and not the same event. Why would we have to connect any of them to the fulfilled 70-7's? Because there is no wooden time element given by Gabriel but rather two major events that are like book ends (rebuild & Messiah), the prophecy is not forced into a timetable. My previous point was that the 3 days and 3 night prophecy of Jesus about Himself as an archetype of Jonah doesn't require us to find 72 hours to make it fulfilled. Gabriels prophecy ends with the death of Messiah who becomes the abomination desolation and in doing so, fulfills the promises of verse 24:
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy.
None of this is accomplished in a supposed 3 1/2 year tribulation. But when Jesus fulfilled all righteousness and then became sin for us, and we are now free from sin and made righteous by Him and the vision and prophecy is sealed up! DONE.
Daniel was written hudreds of years prior to enoch
The beginning of sin, the mystery of iniquity began in Eden, Genesis 4:8-15-24.
Man didn't directly commit sin, but was led by a third party- the devil in the serpent, and was made to sin against God. In God's right, He killed a third party propitiation for their sins- the sinless Lamb. Thus God, to be Righteous and Just, must be the One to provide Himself a sacrificial Lamb, to atone for the sins which the third party- Adam, had committed, to be able to Righteously judge the other third party, the devil, satan, the dragon, to finally get punished. But there has to be opportunity on both sides to prove that God is Righteous and Just in His judgment, by giving man 1000 years to prove he can eventually hold his own and not succumb to peer or outside pressure, in order to be worthy of being redeemed, ransomed, regenerated, restored and reconciled, back to God- through Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5.
Then, man- Cain deliberately killed his brother, Abel, but this sin couldn't readily be judged simply because there was no preceding law about being one's brother's keeper that was to have been broken. (Thus, the whole system was destroyed by the flood, and the laws started with that Genesis 9:5-6, until finally judged and finished on the cross John 19:30)
And in verse 15, a precedent was laid down for the time it would take to judge sin, 70x7 or 490 years.
That generation was wiped out by the flood, but the precept remained: sin shall be avenged seventy and seven fold. (Matthew 18:21-23).
This was the standard by which Israel also judged, as they also had to spend 70 sabbath years ( or 70x7= 490 years), in exile, outside of the promised land.
When it was the 69th week year Daniel prayed to God, and fasted to remind Him of the imminent due date of the return of God's people to their promised land; but the sin of the Amorite was not yet full, Genesis 15:16, also, Israel was still in rebellion towards God, and the land cannot sustain rebellion- it was Holy!
So, the Messiah had to come and make a way for grace and justification, and righteousness of God to be imputed, so Israel can get back their monarchy, through the house of David, and back to the kingdom of God, by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, as the Son of God, and the Son of man -the promised Son of David, the king of Israel to order His Kingdom Isaiah 9:6; who would ascend His throne as God had promised him. Romans 1:3; Acts 2:30, and come to bring them back to God, Jeremiah 16:16a; Luke 19:10; Matthew 10:5. Instead, they rejected and killed Him.
Thus, from then onwards, the way to God was opened to whosoever would come to Him by grace through the shedding of His blood, by grace through faith in His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection.
They were given the adoption of sons and daughters into the kingdom, which hitherto, they were not permitted Ephesians 2:13; John 1:11-14, becoming heirs and joint heirs of God and the Abrahamic covenanted promises an blessing (Genesis 25:6- the representatives of his other children by Hagar and Keturah, the Kings of the East, could now access and partake of the blessing, and they showed their allegiance and faith, by worshipping Jesus Christ, as a Child!)
Jesus Christ gave His life for all who would simply believe in Him as Lord and Savior, in order to keep them from the wrath of God that will be unleashed upon the Amorite, until the end. Isaiah 63:18; Daniel 8:13; Zechariah 12:3; Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2.
And eventually, they will be rescued at the second coming of Christ Luke 21:13; Zechariah 14.
He finished the work of salvation of the soul of man John 19:30 and this continues the "acceptable year of the Lord" which began as He took the sealed book of Daniel, 12:4, from God, as the Lamb of God, who alone is Worthy, and opened the seals Revelation 5, and fulfilled the first of the three part of Isaiah 61:2, in Luke 4:16-21, and He SHUT it again. This will run through this dispensation of preaching of the gospel of grace, (which ended the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom, which ended with the stoning of Stephen) by faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and He will return to gather His saints from the world, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15; and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father, with exceeding joy, Jude 24; with victory over sin, devil, death, hell and eternal damnation in the lake of fire and brimstone Isaiah 66:24.
The second dispensation is nearly upon us, at this time Isaiah 63:4, which will usher in the tribulation period when the 70th and last year will be ushered in to finish all transgressions! Daniel 9:24.
( As the Messiah has become the sacrifice for sin, and was dead, buried and rose again from the dead! His shed blood sprinkled on the heavenly mercy seat for propitiation for sins for all who would go to God by and through Him, simply by faith! Ephesians 2:8).
Then, the Lord will return the second time, complete with His body, as a new Creature resting upon the Mount of Olives Zechariah 14, to make a way of escape for the remnants of Israel Matthew 24:31.
Then the battle of armageddon will ensue, and it will end up in total obliteration of this earth. Isaiah 24; Joel chapters 2 and 3, Jeremiah chapters 1-11...; 1 Peter 3 etc.
This is the fullness and end, and judgment of the sin of the Amorite! Matthew 18:21-22; Psalm 75:8; 73:3-17.
Then the new heaven and earth will be created after the conclusion of the millennium- to mark the expiration date of sin and death, like it was back in Eden. Now man will live out the 1000 year curse of death Isaiah 65, (Genesis 5).
Then history will repeat itself when everything reaches full circle- the serpent will be released once again, Revelation 20:1-6, to tempt man as he did with Adam and Eve, those who follow him will get totally judged and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, together with hell, death, the antichrist, false prophets and all whose portion is with them Isaiah 66:24. Revelation chapters 19-22.
God has perfected the end from the beginning. But as it is written-"My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge " Hosea 4:6, so, "With all thine getting, get understanding " Proverbs 4:7; Luke 24:45. Be filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, and abide in the fold, John 10, until He returns as promised, to take up His purchased possession! John 14:26; Ephesians chapters 1-2!
Then He will set up His kingdom! Isaiah 9:6!
Be encouraged!
Jesus Christ ate the passover on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. Matthew 25:17. He then proceeded to the Mount of Olives, where he was arrested later that night.
This happened on the preparation day before the sabbath- Luke 23:54. Wednesday evening.
The legalistic priests and pharisees, etc., couldn't follow Jesus Christ to the hall of judgment.
He was crucified in the morning of Thursday, died at 3 pm, and was buried before the sabbath. (And the evening and the morning were the 1st day). Genesis 1:5; Luke 23:54-55.
Thursday evening =1 night.
Friday morning =1 day
Friday evening =2 nights
Saturday morning =2 days
Saturday evening= 3 nights
Sunday morning =3 days.
He rose again from the dead.
God had told Abraham that his
Seed shall be a stranger in a foreign land Genesis 15:13.
In due time, Moses took it upon himself, being the prince of Egypt, and leaning on his own intellectual prowess Acts 7:22-30.
He didn't know that one cannot do the work of the Spirit in the flesh Galatians 3:3-6, thus he started his ministry 10 years earlier, without being fully equipped and girded with all necessary means to fulfill it.
He found himself a fugitive, living with an unreasonable father-in-law, who made him take over the work of keeping sheep, which had been done, thitherto, by his daughters.
This gave Moses ample time to reflect and become meek.
He even told God that he was a stammerer. He finally got to his end, for him to embrace God's beginning for him- reluctantly though it was.
This added extra 40 years to the time of the captivity in Egypt.
Another example is Jeremiah 28:13. God told Jeremiah to make a yoke of wood, but he was disdained by the prophet Hanniah, who believed that God had only spoken to him and not to Jeremiah, who wasn't a prophet, but of the priests Jeremiah 1:1.
He broke the yoke of wood, but God changed it into a yoke of iron, which further intensified Israel's punishment in captivity . Jeremiah 28:1-17.
God's word is immutable. When we dishonor or disobey His word, even if we repent, the punishment must be administered as it is written.
Thank God for Jesus Christ, who lives to intercede for us before the Father, and also by His blood and the Holy Spirit.
Romans 7:26-39
If Jesus didn't fulfill the 70th week, then Moses 70 weeks weren't fulfilled, nor the prophecies of the minor and major prophets, nor the Apostles, and we could no longer regard them as prophets, including Jesus! God forbid! Let God be true and every man a liar! And we would all be false witnesses!
Moses and the prophets foretold the destruction of the temple, and Jacob's Trouble, being scattered into all nations. Did these events happen, NO! Not if the 70th week didn't happen!
The Coming Prince, chapter 7:
“The question remains, whether any precedent for this can be discovered in the mystical chronology of Israel's history.
According to the book of Kings, Solomon began to build the temple in the 480th year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt. (1 Kings 6:1) This statement, than which none could, seemingly, be more exact, has sorely puzzled chronologers. By some it has been condemned as a forgery, by others it has been dismissed as a blunder; but all have agreed in rejecting it. Moreover, Scripture itself appears to clash with it. In his sermon at Pisidian Antioch (Acts 13:18-21) St. Paul epitomizes thus the chronology of this period of the history of his nation: forty years in the wilderness; 450 years under the judges, and forty years of the reign of Saul; making a total of 530 years. To which must be added the forty years of David's reign and the first three years of Solomon's; making 573 years for the very period which is described in Kings as 480 years. Can these conclusions, apparently so inconsistent, be reconciled?
If we follow the history of Israel as detailed in the book of Judges, we shall find that for five several periods their national existence as Jehovah's people was in abeyance. In punishment for their idolatry, God gave them up again and again, and "sold them into the hands of their enemies." They became slaves to the king of Mesopotamia for eight years, to the king of Moab for eighteen years, to the king of Canaan for twenty years, to the Midianites for seven years, and finally to the Philistines for forty years. [4] But the sum of 8 +18+ 20+ 7+ 40 years is 93 years, and if 93 years be deducted from 573 years, the result is 480 years. It is obvious, therefore, that the 480 years of the book of Kings from the Exodus to the temple is a mystic era formed by eliminating every period during which the people were cast off by God. [5] If, then, this principle were intelligible to the Jew in regard to history, it was both natural and legitimate to introduce it in respect of an essentially mystic era like that of the seventy weeks.”
Very interesting.
I would suggest that when you use this analytic approach and single out these four verses from Daniel 9 separately from all other prophecies found in Daniel as well as NT predictions, which give Daniel context. Missing these connections is like losing the plot to one of the greatest mysteries ever or the greatest detective story .
One must consider the entire landscape of God's future plans for a redeemed mankind.
Remember, Jesus himself quote Daniel 9: 27 in his famous Mat.24 sermon on the signs that proceed His Second Coming.
Also, although this speaker had done some great research, he seemed to have neglected other essential connections with Daniel 7, 11, and 12 which refer to the Antichrist and time of great trouble found in Daniel 12.
The complete picture is highly complex but also simple.
Just start in Daniel 9.24, and see this as Gods overview or abstract of His mighty plan for man.
Hey buddy, thanks for commenting. This video is a part of a series in which I went through all of the passages you mentioned.
Using my Decimal Timeline.
I calculated and believe that the First Adam was instantly created as a 30.124 years old man on 3970.5051 BC....
Jesus the Second Adam started His 3.5 years Ministry when He was baptized at the age of 30 years old (Luke 3:23) on 27AD precisely 4,000 solar years of 365.25 days a year on the 7000 years timeline.
Time difference between Biblical and solar years was extended from biblical mid point of when Jacob was born, counting from day First Adam was created was precisely 2096 biblical years.
I used the conversion factor of 0.9...... by dividing 360days by 365.25 and used the conversion factor multiple 2069 Biblical Year. The difference which is 30.124 years as time to compensate for age of First Adam, then establish the True count of 7000 years plan of God as at 30.124 years back.
This marks the birth of JESUS at about 2 BC and so He was crucified on 31 AD to fulfill Daniel 9:27, that the Messiah was cut off. The crucifixion of Jesus.
I believe Rapture shall be on 2027 AD in this calculation, but it can be earlier. If earlier, the date i believe Rapture may happen is May 19, 2024.
The Second coming of Christ Jesus as Judge is going to be highly likely on the Feast of Trumpets in the good year of the Lord 2034. Or if second coming shall be on 2031, then the Rapture high watch day is 19th May 2024, that is using the Sign of Jonah Jesus gave go this wicked and adulterous generation as i understood from the Holy Bible.
Know that a 1000 Biblical Year of 360 days
shall be passed before Satan is released for 10 days only or for 3.5 years depending on when the Rapture takes place on either of this two days.
AFTER in prison in the bottomless pit for 1000 biblical years, Satan will be lossed to try the Israelites and other nations' population born during the millennium period. Those who fall to satan, fire falls on them and devour them and at great white throne judgement are cast into the Lake of Fire after the False Prophet and Antichrist and Satan.
The for next 5 days is the second resurrection of the damned to appear before the great white throne judgement of God to face the final verdict before they are cast into the Lake of Fire.
In the next 7 days of the Feast of Tabernacles, God shall destroys the old earth and the heaven and create a new Heaven and a new Earth.
Finally on the 8th day of Feast of Tabernacles the Alpha and the Omega (Lord Jesus Christ) ends the 1000 Biblical Years of Reign on earth with His kings, lords and priest is over, and commence the eternal reign in the blizz and tranquility of the New Earth and the New Heaven therein indwell the souls of the saved for all Eternity.

How did you decide that Jesus' ministry was 3.5 years long?
The period of Christ's infancy described here as 490 days is actually only 487 days as lunar months are not all 30 days but alternately 29 and 30. Also, Luke never gives a total - hence it is is misleading to say that he makes a point about 490 days.
"Misleading" is a strong word. This idea has circulated in the scholarly literature for a while, and is not at all original to me, but to make that assertion because Luke does not give a total is an uncompelling retort. He might expect his audience to do some counting, as various other biblical (and other ancient) authors do.
And I am always a bit puzzled when someone makes a strong claim about how the months were reckoned. There are numerous theories and ideas based upon primary literature, usually from well after the time in question such as from the rabbis, and at the end of it all we do not know exactly how the days were reckoned because we don't know whose system Luke followed.
Moreover, there are other examples of months being reckoned from a lunar perspective which do not fit your claim. Consider the book of Revelation, which treats 42 months as 1,260 days. If your point of alternate days must stick in Luke, then why doesn't it work in Revelation?
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Maybe the word is too strong, but there is no basis for the claim. The number can only be reached by adding several periods, some of which again are not clearly spelled out. This way, the "6 months of 30 days" can creep in when Luke says no such thing. (If he did equate 6 months with 180 days, one could accept the symbolism but he doesn't say.)
We actually can tell how the months were reckoned as the Jews didn't use a solar calendar but a lunar-solar calendar (as did most peoples at the time - the Roman's being the exception) with actual lunar months. A lunar month is 29.5 days long, hence the alternating lengths. I see no reason for to deviate from this.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Revelation is steeped in symbolism. Yes, it equates 1260 days with 42 months, leading to a symbolic month of 30 days. I can accept that as symbolism, though not for actual calculation (as those claiming "prophetic years" do, thereby turning 483 years into 477 years).
The difference to Luke is that Luke makes no such equation and isn't engaging in apocalyptic symbolism. He just gives a straightforward account.
@@str.77 The interpretation, which I got from Goldingay's commentary and he got from another source, could potentially be wrong and it wouldn't hurt my feelings. If Luke equated it with 180 days, permitting th e whole process to add up to 490 days, well that would thematically match his point of Jesus as fulfillment. And it does strike me as strange that this story has the angel Gabriel, just as the 490-day prophecy is delivered by Gabriel. There are not many Gabriel passages in the Bible.
I admit I did not read the source that Goldingay draws this from ("cf. Dan 9; Laurentin, Luc, 45- 63, following Burrows, Infancy, 41- 42") but I did read TONS of literature on the calendrical arguments hanging on the passage, and none of them raised your alternate days objection. If you got something to shoot my way send it to justinspr@yahoo.com
@@str.77 I wonder how much Luke's infancy narrative, steeped in the language of the OT fulfillment and subject as it is to ancient modes of history, is really a "straightforward account." After all, some of Luke's dates seem to be altered to make symbolic points, such as with the dating of the census and the seeming exaggeration of Caesar taxing the whole inhabited world. My point is simply that parable, symbolism, metaphorical story-telling, whatever you want to call it, creeps into the gospels at various points. These are not biographies in the modern sense.
Luke's genealogy of 77 generations is clearly symbolic, though it would appear so straightforward at first glance. My point is simply that we can't withhold symbolic categories from Luke just because he is not apocalyptic, and because he does not openly signal that he is engaging symbolism. He does not announce his intentions in the genealogy either, and it holds more symbolism than just its numbers.
The 70 weeks refers to the 70 years that was prophesied for the Babylonian captivity.
That's right. This is actually the third video in this series on Daniel 9. Daniel extends the 70 years of the Babylonian exile in Jeremiah 25 and Jeremiah 29 to 70 x 7.
36:55 so your just a theory sniper?
+Justin Sproles im sorry friend. I remember in some video you said the whole earth is now Israel (or was it Jerusalem?) And you proved it biblically somehow, can you tell it to me again? i cant remember it nor find the video . pls
I think you are referring to the way the book of Revelation uses Jerusalem. In that book, the local city of Jerusalem which persecuted and killed Jesus has become a global persecution system killing the followers of Jesus. The video under Revelation 11 on the two witnesses.
There's a hidden dragon revealed in the milk.
And there's milk hidden in the belly of the dragon.
Thanks so much for your video presentations. I know how much time goes into this sort of thing, and it's very much appreciated.
One of the sticking points you mention with regard to a Messianic fulfillment of the 70 Weeks Prophecy has to do with the fact that Jerusalem was not destroyed after Christ died. As you observe, however, the issue of Jerusalem's destruction is also a problem for the Greek view. Either way, nothing seems to line up. This suggests to me that the solution lies with a different approach.
In your video on Antiochus and the Antichrist, you mention that, at some point, the angel's discussion of Antiochus switches over to a discussion of the end-time Antichrist, as the events the angel describes do not conform to what we know of the history of Antiochus. I suggest that something similar is going on here in the 70 Weeks Prophecy. The destruction of Jerusalem is not said to happen at the mid-point of the 70th Week, only some time after that, although the wording of the passage seems to run all of the associated events together, making it seem as if they happen simultaneously (just like with Antiochus and Antichrist). For this reason, the destruction of Jerusalem can be viewed as a consequence of Messiah being cut off, but does not necessarily have to occur immediately. I also think the same is probably true where "the wing of abominations" portion of the passage is concerned. We're dealing with a mixing of ideas here.
In light of this, I would suggest the last part of the 70 Weeks Prophecy could be reordered to connect related ideas and read this way:
"Then after the sixty-two weeks, the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing...And he will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering."
"and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined....and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, will be poured out on the one who makes desolate.” (NASB)
Some might argue that this is a stretch, but if the angel who revealed the prophecy of Antiochus and the Antichrist pulled an abrupt switch in his imagery, Gabriel may have done the same thing with the 70 Weeks Prophecy.
In relation to "anointing the most holy place," I would refer to your Revelation video on the passage where John is told to measure the temple and those who worship in it. In that video, you argue that the innermost portion of the temple represents the church in the presence of God, and I think you're probably right. If so, this would fit well with the 70 Weeks Prophecy in that, after his baptism and presentation to Israel, Jesus began to call out his church and gave his apostles authority to minister with power. Here, we have the "most holy," the inner sanctum ministering under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which then came upon them permanently at Pentecost (falling around "the midst of the week" when Christ had put an end to the offerings via the sacrifice of himself).
Opinions differ on how and when the 70 Week would have ended in a Messianic fulfillment model, but I think those who argue that it ended with the martyrdom of Stephen are probably correct. It's no coincidence that, after this event, Jerusalem (which is the focal point of the 70 Weeks Prophecy) ceases to be the focal point of the book of Acts. Intense persecution breaks out and the church is scattered. The Ethiopian Eunuch is converted, the apostle Paul (the apostle to the gentiles) is converted, and Cornelius and his family are converted. There is a very clear shift from Jerusalem and the Jews to the gentiles of the nations at this point.
Anyway, those are some thoughts I wanted to share. Thanks again for your efforts, and God bless.
You've clearly put a lot of thought into these things. Whatever the solution is for the 70 weeks, it probably does involve a conception that does not so neatly cluster chronological events, but instead permits some lapses of time between events as you suggested. I must say I'd find the Stephen perspective more convincing if LUke had some allusion or echo of the Daniel passage in his narration of Stephen's martyrdom. On the other hand, whatever happens to Jerusalem and the temple in this text is probably prophetically transferred onto the church, and the Stephen perspective would cover that base. I'll think more about it.
Thanks for watching these videos! You are right: they take a ton of time. A buddy of mine asked me how much time I put into my video on Jesus and the animal kingdom. When I said over thirty he was shocked. He thought it was about ten hours, which he esteemed to be a big investment. After learning the real number he had a whole new appreciation for the project.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 I wish there was some clear New Testament reference to it as well. Jesus mentions the Abomination of Desolation, of course, but in such a way that it doesn't seem to fit clearly with any of the more likely scenarios, and then we have that cryptic remark "Let the reader understand." That's just it; we don't understand. There could be some sort of dual fulfillment here, as you've suggested, but it's difficult to discern the pattern. Then again, I can't think of any other prophecies that have a dual fulfillment where this is actually indicated in the original prophecy. If Jerusalem and the temple have in fact been transferred to the church, then perhaps the great falling away is the Abomination of Desolation in the church age. The command to flee would then make sense given Jesus' statement about believers being hated for their witness as "the love of most grows cold," but it would require an identifiable trigger event.
The only other thing I can add here is that I still favor the Roman explanation for the legs of iron in the vision of Nebuchadnezzar's statue. I've thought for a long time that the Great Harlot of Revelation must be the church at Rome, which effectively left Christ and entered into an adulterous relationship with Imperial Rome, merging with it and taking on the characteristics of an empire. It's interesting to me that the Harlot boasts, "I sit as a queen and I am not a widow and will never see mourning" (Revelation 18:7). When Imperial Rome (that is, political Rome) died, the Roman Church continued on, effectively ruling as a religious empire (sitting as a queen whose husband has died, but now, rather than missing and mourning her dead spouse, she proudly rules in his place). She is called Mystery Babylon, which may make the Roman Church seem improbable at first (given that the Babylonian system is older than Rome), but if the Roman Empire and its political/religious/idolatrous system was the successor state to Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon, then the merger of Rome with the Christian church would represent the merger of the church with the Babylonian system, making this hybrid one and the same entity.
In your series on Daniel 9, you mentioned that the feet of iron mixed with clay seems to represent political intermarriage. If we view this spiritually, perhaps this represents a merger of church and state/Christian and pagan. In the ancient world, marriages were expected to be religious as well as political unions; it was expected that a bride would not only support her husband politically but also worship his gods. The joining of the Roman Church with Imperial Rome resulted in such a mixture.
If this is correct, then Rome never truly fell because the emperor's adulterous wife (as it were) continues to reign. The Roman Church is a shadow of its former self, but, interestingly, the Vatican is still a political entity and still wields enormous political influence. Perhaps, as we get closer to the return of the Lord, Rome will once again begin to persecute the faithful, and will be part of the Antichrist system that is destroyed at the coming of the Kingdom (the stone that strikes the statue on its feet). I'm not a rabid, Jesuit-conspiracy anti-Catholic or anything; this just makes sense to me.
God bless!
When all is said and done not even the Holy Spirit is going to force people to use their brain cells and the proof of this is that 99% of Christendom believe there is a gap between the 69th and 70th week/seven😂.
God is omniscient. He knows everything. He prepared a body for His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to come and feel in the flesh, all what man is going through, while He Himself remains sinless, meaning, He doesn't indulge in sin. So, He eventually was condemned as a sinner- study Mark 14:51, the story of the naked young man. That was the reason Jesus's sweat were like drops of blood, when He got to the last sin He had to deal with that would condemn Him to shame, torture and consequently, a cursed death on the cross- simply because He was set up in the middle of the night, as He prayed, in the garden of Gethsemane, to be doing stuff the laws condemned with penalty of death, by stoning, but was cranked up to become dead on the cross.
Judas kissed him, not a peck in the cheek but a full blown kiss, in order to set him up, but he didn't know his act was just a distraction, the people that hired him, already prepared a worse scenario- using the young guy that fled into the night naked. Mark 14:51-52.
Jesus Christ refused to tattle on him, nor did he ask them to go get him to speak for him, because He came for the very reason, to die for the undeserved, who, if and when they come to this realization, would immediately repent and accept the cleansing power of the blood that bought them. He even became their high Priest, who is touched by the feeling of their infirmity, understanding where they come from, but hoping they will come to Him and cast it all on Him, and take His Rest! He already made that call!!!
Will you answer, will you imagine what they must have done to him, with such a charge, in that day and age? All just to make atonement for every sin conceivable, including what you're struggling with at this moment! Give it all to Him!
Being mad at the preacher will not assuage your guilt and self- condemnation, and self torture and self hatred and self judgment. He already did it all- for YOU!!!
Which of these religious leaders who abbet them ever promised to pray to God for them. How can the blind lead the blind?
Anyone that has encountered God by the preaching of the gospel of salvation by grace through faith in the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and still remain unconcerned and unrepentant, has already forfeited his mercy, and grace that bought him from the devil, who has the power of sickness, afflictions, terror, oppression, death and the grave. No escaping him.
Let the love of God for you, in Christ Jesus, constrain you to listen, receive, accept, confess, believe and abide in His love, justification from all your sins, past, present and future, And live the new life purchased by the shedding of His blood, and by imputting God's righteousness that declared you "faultless, blameless ", before the presence of God, with whom you have to give an account, whether you like it or not! No excuses on that day, for God will definitely be Just and Righteous when He metes out judgment, and all mouths will be quiet!
GOD CONFIRMED JESUS DISCIPLES WORD WITH SUPERNATURAL SIGNS/WONDERS/MIRACLES JUST LIKE GOD DID FOR JESUS FOR 3 1/2 YEARS.THE SECOND 3 1/2 YEARS ENDED WHEN PETER VISITED CORNELIUS HOME AND THE GENTILES COULD THEN BE SAVED.SO THE COVENANT--THE NEW TESTAMENT-WAS CONFIRMED BY ALL THOSE MIRACLES/SIGNS AND WONDERS GOD DID FOR JESUS AND FOR HIS DISCIPLES.
Personally for me sometimes history after Bible prophecy shows fulfillment of difficult passages. The destruction of the Temple does not have to fall within the 70 weeks as the subject of verse 26 is the Messiah following on from verse 25. Covenants are generally made through Gods anointed, and this reads better in the Septuagint for me slightly. Christ death annulled the need for animal sacrifice but the Temple was still standing at this point. Luke 21 v 6-7 and verse 20-24 let us see how The Temple destruction does not have to fit into the 69th week but the reference to Abomination of desolation/Titus and future Muslim armies that planted the Dome of the Rock let's us see fulfillment.:

I have not checked out Ribera fully but this rings true.
The Ezekiel 29 v 12 prophecy is one I believe is staggered but not the 70th week.
I snooped around on the link. Just a quick response. A seven-year ministry of Jesus is hard to support biblically. Some scholars have made the case that in Mark's Gospel it could be less than a year. In John it looks like it's a little over two years (three Passovers). Seven years will be incredibly difficult to deduce from the Gospels. 34 AD as the death of Christ is also hard to come by. In v. 26, whether LXX or MS, the city has to be destroyed at the end of the 62 weeks. Without becoming super-symbolic and fanciful, it will be hard reckon that part of the prophecy. --- I'm glad this guy gives it a shot. I'm glad he doesn't superimpose a gap between the sixty-two weeks and the final week. But ultimately his scheme has loopholes like any other.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Yes, I don't think he is saying Christ has a 7 year ministry. From my understanding just that he is cut off at 69.5 weeks with the other half being the period left before the Jews as a majority rejected Christ with the stoning of Stephen. Also if Christ died at 33 and started his ministry at 30 then this might bear true if he was say 6 mths through his 33rd year.
Hey Hebrews, I took this quote from the link you shared. It's the one that led me to think he was saying a seven-year ministry: "The truth is that Messiah and His Disciples fulfilled the 70th week of Daniel, from 27-34 A.D., when they confirmed with the Jews for 7 years that He is the promised Messiah, who ratified the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Passover Lamb."
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 Ah, OK, no, that would just be when 70th week has finished. I have always understood that Jewish priests start their ministry at 30 and that Christ died at 33 or 33.5. At 33.5 would have been when he died and his blood was the new covenant confirmed, he died or was cut off in the midst of a week, the remaining 3.5 of the last week would have been for the Jews as a whole to accept in my opinion.
Hebrews, on my Revelation playlist I show that John, in several places, understands the final 3 1/2 years to be the church age, from the Ascension to the Parousia. In my video on Revelation 13 called "Killing Christians" you can get a run-down of how it works. Anyhow, I've enjoyed the talk.
The millennium is the end of the cycle of the end of sin.
Man had a thousand years curse the day Adam and Eve disobeyed God.
A day is like a thousand years.
The oldest man was Methuselah, he lived 969 years, and the last Adam lived 30 years as the Son of man, a human- Jesus Christ, then He was filled with the Holy Spirit, to become the Son of God 100%God and 100% man, just like the first Adam, who was created flesh and God breathed into his nostrils, to have 100% God in 100% man.
Thus, when the mystery of iniquity is dealt with, after the 70th week year of Israel, then the whole world will be destroyed at the second coming of Jesus Christ. This will usher in the kingdom of God, for which Jesus Christ came to preach to Israel, before the gospel of grace- for both Israel and the gentiles, because they rejected their King. The scriptures are going back in cycles, we're now in Genesis 6, 11 and 47.It is like going back to the garden of Eden Isaiah 65; Genesis 5, when man will have to live out the whole 1000 years curse, which ends the wages of sin- death, which ends the cycle of creation, until the new heavens and the new earth is established, where there's no more sin and death. Then the judgment and rewards, abd the institution of mandatory pilgrimage to the New Jerusalem, and then, the Sabbath will be observed, signifying the end of work of both Creation and Redemption of the lost soul of man. Isaiah 66.
Every nation will worship God, because there will no longer be evil or Satan present. All have been judged and cast into the lake of fire and brimstone- including death, hell, satan, the antichrist and his false prophets and those that bare his mark.
The world will be as God in tended it right from the beginning, after the old earth and the heavens are completely destroyed by fire.

Good grief, man. 360 day years are easily justified from the book of Revelation (time, times, and half a time; forty two months; 1260 days).
Revelation and Daniel will vary a bit on their handing of times, time, and half a time. I discuss this at length in my videos on Revelation 11 and 12. Specifically, John has rounded off the number to accommodate his use of "rectangular numbers."
the days in a month are also established in Genesis 7. 11, 24 & 8.4....so 30 days in a bible month
@@DavidKing-qd3sp In fact, Genesis establishes that sun and moon are the means by which to measure time and festivals. Hence, the only legitimate month is a lunar month alternating between 30 and 29 days. That is, as long as the physical lunar month lasts roughly 29 1/2 days. It is okay to use round, symbolic numbers e.g. in apocalypses, but not in actual time measurement.

Jesus Christ is the high priest of our profession. Hebrews 3:1; 4:4.
He is also the King of Israel, the Son of David.
He is the Lampstand, the Two Olive Trees. He pours from Himself into the two branches. Everything comes from Him, because the last king and priest of Israel both came short: Joshua, the son of Josedech - the high priest, was clothed in filthy garments Zechariah 3, because the sin of the people hadn't been dealt with in all the 69 week year in captivity, thus, according to the laws of cleansing, he shouldn't be ministering, but instead, he should die, for his sins and those of the people Leviticus chapters 5, 14, 14 and 17, and Zerubbabel, the seed of David, and the governor of Israel Zechariah 4. Revelation 1:12-13.
So, the accuser came to make sure that he dies, to show the righteousness of God.
God had to now take it upon Himself to bear these sins, and got him a change of robes, thereby imputting His own righteousness to him, and consequently the people- unworthy though they were, as a "brand plucked out of fire". Zechariah 3:2; Malachi 3:6.
God had to send His angels because He wasn't dealing directly with Israel until the prophesy of the advent of the Messiah was fulfilled, then the Holy Spirit would come. God will only return to them at the start of the 70th week year, as their God, to complete the mystery of iniquity and usher in the millennium.
Therefore, the two witnesses are Joshua the high priest, and Zerubbabel, the governor Jeremiah 30:21, until the fallen tabernacle of David is raised up again, and the King returns Amos 9:11; Jeremiah 30:9.
Thus, they can only rule and minister by the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus Christ at baptism to make Him the Son of God after being the Son of man for 30 years of His life. When the Holy Spirit returns with the saints, He goes back to the Father, in the Son, to make the Godhead complete, until the whole world is reconciled, back to God and He makes all things new again.
The angel ignored Zechariah's query about the two olive Tree's, because he should know who they were since the whole prophecy given to him was solely about these two. Moreover, the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah were not concluded. Like the book of Daniel was shut, they would be continuing when the time comes. Israel will continue from where they left off to enter the 70th week year that completes the end of the occupation of the Amorites, when their cup is full to be judged. Luke 21:24; Genesis 15:16 (Still to be fulfilled).

Additionally, I highly recommend watching, to answer questions based on the clear words of holy scripture, rather than the thoughts, opinions, & preconceived notions of man, the Revelation series found on the framingtheworld RUclips channel in order to gain insight & dispel the error of man's ways.
Isaiah 55:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
1260 days of tribulation/abomination of desolation followed by 75 days of great tribulation, & the anti-christ continues in power for 1260 days/after the 6'th seal, sun & moon darkened, Jesus comes in the clouds with power & great glory to gather His elect. The dead in Christ rise first, then us who remain follow/after the 7'th seal, there are 1215 days of God's wrath, followed by the destruction of the great whore & Babylon, then the battle of Armageddon. The beast & false prophet are cast into the lake of fire, & Satan is bound in hell until the 1000 years are up/Jesus sets up his 1000 year reign/after the 1000 years are up, satan is lossed a little while to deceive many, then the battle of Gog & Magog ensues & satan is cast forever into the lake of fire where the anti-christ & false prophet are/the earth & heaven fled away from God's face,death and hell are cast into the lake burning with fire. After this is great white throne judgement of the dead & whoever is not found in the book of life is cast into the lake burning with fire/the new heaven & new earth, after which, the city of new Jerusalem descends from God out of heaven, and the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:20-21 King James Version (KJV)
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
That’s all from a Dispensational point of view. That’s not biblical. That is a man-made explanation of scripture. The 1260 years was the period of papal persecution From 538 AD to 1798 SD.
@@davidjohnson3095 First off, please READ my comment if you're going to comment on it. But more important, read your Bible, and don't take my word for anything. Like scripture says "let God' be true, and every man a liar". My comment is not, and I am most definitely not a dispensationalist, I run the other way from that crap.
If you think that Satan is bound in Hell for 1,000 years and Jesus sets up a kingdom on Earth for 1,000 years then that is Dispensational teaching. Or if you think that there will be a 7 year tribulation period that is Dispensational teaching as well.
Scripture does say Jesus had a 7 year ministry to the Jews from 27 Ad to 34 AD. For 3.5 years he personally preached to the Jews and in the person of his disciples he preached to the Jews for another 3.5 years. And that was the 70th week of Daniel 9. In Mt . 15.22 Christ said He was only sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and in Mt. 10. 5-6 He told His disciples - not to go to the Gentiles but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel...so again, you misunderstand scripture. The last week of the 70 weeks involved the ministry of Christ to the Jews and that of the disciples....so you leave no viewer with certainty because you yourself have no certainty of understanding. and the reason you find problems is because you don't understand the prophecies---what you believe to be facts are wrong....the gospel could not go to the gentiles until the 490 years ended in 34 AD with the stoneing of Stephen in acts 7
I appreciate your comments on this video, but, quite frankly, your tone stinks. Justin has clearly spent hours researching the subject and presents the multiplicity of views out there.

Daniel 9 has nothing to do with Antiochus Epiphanes....he ruled from 175-163 BC , Jesus was 27 AD for His anointing at His baptism, so definitely not Antiochus, that view is a Jesuit view proposed by Preterists.
I have three videos on Daniel 9 shifting through the Antiochus and the Antichrist perspectives, their strengths and weaknesses. I also have an Antiochus vs Antichrist video on Daniel 11.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 I have a book that gives over 40 reasons why A. E. is not in Daniel ...but read my comments on why there are not 2 persons anointed in daniel 9...one is the sanctuary in verse 24 the other is christ in 25.the heavenly sanctuary had to be anointed before Christ ministered there , same with the earthly....so Dan. 9 is all about christ...see Exodus 30. 26-29 for anointing of sanctuary before usage.
Justin, I can share with you the total interpretation of Daniel 9. 24-27.....or go on line and listen to a scholars view....william shea/daniel 9........it is precise and correct
Both translations are wrong. Get a king James, the verses are not even similar. This is another victim of textual criticism nonsense.
I used to be KJV only. I appreciate that translation, especially considering the limited tools available to the translators. Blessings.
there are not 2 persons anointed in Daniel 9...it is all about Christ....when the text in verse 24 talks about - anointing, it is speaking of the most holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary, every sanctuary was anointed before usage, so when Christ went to heaven to serve as our high priest according to Hebrews 8.1-3, that sanctuary was anointed...but in verse 25 it is speaking about Christ personally being anointed at His baptism by John.....SO---you can see where this presenter has gone wrong...few people understand Daniel or Revelation...And I assume much of what he will say is totally wrong - but those who are not well versed will accpet what he says as bible truth---
Justin, why don't you present your personal view rather than several potential views as that would be more beneficial to people.....but I have to say, from what I hear you say here - you do not understand the book of Daniel and especially Daniel 9. I have to acknowledge that you are a gifted person but you have acquired the wrong facts and that is what you are presenting. I will listen to your views on Revelation....because I have never met a person on these sites that understand Daniel and Revelation. You say all views have weaknesses but that is not logical because the book of Revelation is a "Revelation" and Daniel 12: 4 says the book of Daniel was only sealed till the time of the end - we are pass that particular time....we have entered the time of the end. So, what can I say - you present possibilities but I remember the scripture that said of Jesus - He spoke as one having authority for He had the facts of truth.

But I hope you noticed my point on Daniel 9. 24 where the phrase "anoint the most holy relates to the heavenly sanctuary and not to a person - but in 25 it does refer to Christ for Messiah means anointed one.

What part of the video are you referring to?
He came as a Hebrew speaking Hebrew to Hebrews. He does not have a Greek word name.
His Father has a Hebrew name.
He has a Hebrew name.
His name is not Jesus.
His name is not Jesus Yashua. Nor Yashua Jesus.
The word Jesus is not a transliteration of a translation - that's a deception shell game.
It is to insult Him to call Him by a word other than His name.
His name is Yashua.
The Father's name, singular-name, has been RnR d 6,827 times in the canonized Books, Yod Hey Vav Hey - Yahavah, being removed and replaced with "the Lord".
Acts 4: 12, Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name given under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
HalleluYah!, Yashua is the Son of Yahavah.
The NT isn't written in Hebrew, so they were using the Greek name ιησους. Joshua's name had already been transliterated this way for hundreds of years so we know it was a standard transliteration. Epitaphs throughout Galilee were written in Greek so we know many Galileans knew, and even preferred, Greek. Jesus uses Greek terms, like "hypocrite" - the Greek word for actor, so he probably has familiarity not just with Greek terms, but with the Greek theater. Jesus likely had his conversation with Niocdemus in Greek since, as is well known, that conversation cannot be succesfully backtranslated into Hebrew or Aramaic. He probably developed Greek when he worked at at Sephoris a few miles from Nazareth. The whole Hebrew vs. Greek thing is a fringe movement. It is laughted at in universities and language schools.
there are 2 anointed ones....one is a person meaning Christ the other is the temple in heaven which is to be anointed..Messiah means anointed ...the most holy in 24 is the temple ---Christ is the anointed one in verse 25...before Christ could start his priestly ministry in heaven that temple had to be anointed...Read the book "Daniel" by William Shea
I just put it on my wish list. The next time I pick this topic up I'll check it out and let you know my thoughts.

Hello Sir, @scripturethroughancienteye1509, I see why you fight so much against the rapture (pretrib) and the 7-year period being in the future. I pray the LORD guides you in the correct path and that you don’t start the next Christian cult. As I told you before, if you are honest and love God please reconsider your stance, seek the truth regardless of pre-conceived ideas. With this video you are fighting against Jesus’ own words ☹ ☹. You say no one in the NT ever refers to the last week being in the future. So sad buddy. JESUS DOES!!! Mathew 24:15 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” You know that there is only two places where Daniel mentions the abomination of desolation. In both instances it is the last week of Daniel’s 70th week. That is Daniel 9:27 “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.” And Daniel 11:31-37: “31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits…. 37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” Please note that in Daniel 11 this is talking about the time of the end as well “40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him:”
Please note as well that Jesus in Mathew 24:15-21 tells you that this abomination of desolation stands in the holy place at the time of the end, in THE FUTURE!!! “21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”
I know you are confused making the 70th week in the past implying it happened already. You are saying that Jesus is the antichrist!!!!! Any Christian that believes the last week in the 70 weeks in about Jesus is stating that Jesus is the antichrist!! Can’t you read plainly that Daniel tells you in Daniel 9:26-27 that after the Messiah is cut off (that is Jesus dies) in 26 first half of the verse, then in the second half of the verse after the comma is another prince (that is the antichrist) that comes to defile the sanctuary? “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.
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…” In Daniel 11 Daniel expounds and tell you how evil this second prince is, that is the antichrist!!! Not Jesus!!! The one that takes away the sacrifice is not Jesus it is the evil one!!! Jesus even tells you the same in Mt 24:15 that the antichrist will defile the sanctuary in the FUTURE in the time of the END. The Church fathers from the 1st and 2nd century also tell you the same thing I am telling you: Irenaeus a disciple of the disciples of JOHN the apostle in his book “against the heresies” tells you in his book that Mat 24:15 is in the FUTURE in the reign of the antichrist says “Daniel TOO” confirming that this was for the FUTURE in the end and continues in the same passage to tell you that Paul also confirmed this is in the FUTURE so that after he declares himself to be god (a false god) he will reign for 3.5 years: “and it shall be given into his hands unto a time of times and half a time, i.e., for three years and six months, wherein at his coming, he shall reign upon the earth. And of him again the Apostle Paul also in the 2nd to the Thessalonians announcing at the same time also the cause of his coming, saith thus:[* ]And then shall the unrighteous one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of His Mouth and destroy with the presence of His coming; whose coming is after the working of Satan…” Irenaeus explains this plainly to you in early 100’s AD: “and will sit in the Temple of God, beguiling those who adore him, as though he himself were Christ.][* Wherefore Daniel saith again, ]And the holy place shall be desolated: and sin is given for sacrifice, and righteousness is cast down upon earth, and he practised, and it prospered. And Gabriel the Angel explaining his vision said of this same Being[ e];[* ]And in the last time of their Kingdom shall arise a King very stubborn in countenance”… Ireneaus tells you the one that takes the sacrifice away is the antichrist in the middle of the last week: “And he proceeds to signify the duration of his tyranny, in which time the Saints shall be exiled, who offer to the Lord a pure Sacrifice.[* ]And in half the week, saith he, the sacrifice and the drink offering shall be taken away, and into the Temple [shall come] the abomination of desolation, and even to the completion of the time shall a completion be given over the desolation; now the half of the week is three years and six months.”
Irenaeus tells you the same words that I have been trying to tell you in all my previous comments in your past videos that you are ignoring and instead trusting in your Church Historians that you hang out with, Irenaeus says: “For if the Lord gave His approbation to Daniel’s predictions about the end,[* in the words, ]When ye shall see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of by Daniel the Prophet; (now to Daniel the Angel Gabriel made an exposition of the visions:”
Irenaeus the bishop of Smyrna to whom the apostle John wrote the letter of Revelation to says again about revelation: “Chap. XXVI. § 1. Again, yet more expressly, hath John the Lord’s Disciple in the Apocalypse signified concerning the Last time, and the 10 Kings which shall be therein, among whom will be parted the Empire which now reigneth: expounding the 10 horns which were seen by Daniel:”
Then in Revelation 11: 2,3, 7,11 you will learn if you read that the two witnesses preach the gospel for 3.5 years before the antichrist reveals himself as this false god and begins his reign. He then kills the two witnesses and then in verse 12 the two witnesses are raptured up to heaven. But then again because you only believe in one final rapture in the second coming you won’t call this rapture in 11:12 a rapture will you? There are different raptures, many not just one, this one 11:12 is just one of them and the whole period of this one week at the end is 7 years. Jesus, Daniel, Paul, John and all the first century church fathers (the real ones not heretics like the roman-Egyptian so called church fathers 300-400 AD). Note, even though they corrupted everyone to believe in a post trib rapture I am not saying they weren’t saved, I don’t know, if they truly accepted the LORD Jesus as LORD and Savior they were, this only God knows.
I could write you a book but will you even try to hear Jesus' words in Mat 24:15? Jesus told you there that Daniel's 70th week is in the future!!!! You know Tovia Singer agrees with you that it was in the past. You know why? because he knows Hebrew and no one that knows Hebrew will say that the prince that takes away the sacrifice in the middle of the week is the Messiah, that is the antichrist!!!! Isn't it a shame that Tovia Singer agrees with your timeline that the last week is not in the futre? He says that because he rejects Jesus. So, do you see that by preaching/teaching what you teach you are rejecting Jesus in a sense? I don't know if you will recant of your teachings about this topic, I am just so sad about how many people come in here saying how great your material is as if they have been enlightened. So Sad.
You wrote a lot here. I'll respond briefly with three points.
1. I used to be a pre-trib rapture man. The fact that I have changed my mind shows I am capable of going against my preconceived notions.
2. I do not suggest that language pertaining to the Daniel's final week doesn't show up in the NT - It's just ALWAYS the final 3.5 years, not a final seven. The passage you mentioned, Mat 24:15 is the start of the final 3.5 years.
3. Revelation is especially interesting because the final 3.5 years begins at Jesus' crucifixion in Revelation 12, and lasts until the second coming. I have other videos on this. John says he's already in the tribulation (1:9), and things that Daniel says won't happen until the final 3.5 years are things John describes as already happening (such as the unsealing of the book in Revelation 5, for example). This is why Revelation ends in contrast to Daniel when John is told not to seal up the book. Daniel is told that it is sealed until the time of tribulation. John isn't supposed to seal it up because tribulation began with the suffering of Jesus, and continues with all the saints throughout the age.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 you are right in one thing here buddy. That in mt 24:15 Jesus is referring the last half of the week as I wrote above. My point is that Jesus is making a reference to Daniel 9:27 that is the 70th week where in the middle of the week the antichrist confirms a covenant for this week and in the middle he ends the sacrifice!! Daniel 11:30 and in explains in more detail that the Antichrist is the one that ends the sacrifice! In the end time! So you see Jesus is telling you Daniel’s 70th week is in the future! It’s easy bro. Try not to see me as someone to fight off, read the references I’m giving you. You are skimming through with a made up mind. Moreover revelation 11:2-3, tell you that the two witnesses preach for 3.5 years before the antichrist comes in v.7 to kill them. V14 this happens before the third woe. After the third woe is from 11:14 and on… I’m the reign of this antichrist that is the last 3.5 years. You say the last 3.5 years begins at Jesus crucifixion. That is blasphemy you are saying Jesus is the antichrist there buddy!!! You are claiming Jesus is the one at the middle of the week in Daniel’s 70th week. This is what I’m asking you to reconsider. You can’t be this naive!! I got so mad at Tovia Singer two years ago when he put out a video saying Christian’s teach Jesus is the one that causes the sacrifice to end in Daniel’s 70th week. He laughed at how ignorant Christians are because it is plain that this is the antichrist! But now with you I see why he says these things.
@@WordLogos You keep telling me what my views are on the 70th week. Not so! I think Jesus is the desecrated temple at the middle of the week, a status in which his church share until the end of the age (hence the NT's concern with the final 3 1/2 years and never with the full 7). "Tear down this temple and in three days I will raise it up again." When Jesus is crucified the blood and water that come out of his side reveals he is the temple at the end of Ezekiel, a well-known interpretation. He is the violently desecrated temple.
Jesus continually is referenced in Johannine literature as the endtime temple. As is the church. I have a short video on Why Revelation 11:1-2 does not teach a literal temple, dropped it about a month ago. If you watch that I will continue to discuss. Otherwise we will talk past each other because you won't understand my view.
@@scripturethroughancienteye1509 I’ll watch your video, I do listen carefully to all who oppose the word of God. Your view still contradicts Daniel 9:27 and Mt 24:15 Jesus said the antichrist will defile the temple in the future at the time of the end when in v24 there will be great tribulation such as never was nor will be!! This refutes your view completely. Because you are saying the antichrist killed Jesus (desecrated the temple) at the crucifixion. No Jesus said that the antichrist defiled the temple in the future, in the beginning of the great tribulation! Ireneaus explains it better than me, he said in 2 th. Paul says that beginning of the middle of the week happens when this antichrist sits in the temple of God and claims to be God. Listen to yourself you are saying the antichrist already sat on the temple of God at the crucifixion! I will watch you Mr video tonight. But you missed my point on 11:2-3 as well. God tells you there is 3.5 years before the antichrist rises up from the bottomless pit. It’s easy language bro. Why do you not understand? He rises up from hell to the Earth and kills the two witnesses!!! You agree there is 3.5 years after this guy shows up why can’t you see the 3.5 years before he comes in plain language in rev11:2-3?
@@WordLogos The beast in Revelation is a transhistorical figure. Sometimes he is described with the language of Nero, who persecuted Christians; sometimes with the language of Domitian, who persecuted Christians. He is not one figure at one time. He is a sequence of figures who culminate in the final antichrist.
The beast in Daniel is a sequence of empires and their kings. John mixes different empires from different periods into one beast. Why? Because he wants you to know the same beast, the same seed of Satan, opposes God throughout the ages - he just takes on different political forms. The Greeks, Romans, Ottoman Empire, Nazis, USSR, ISIS - whatever - they are all the same beast until the end of the age. Even the figure in Daniel 11 has his first appearance in Antiochus Epiphanes, the most common reading of Daniel 11 (I have a video on that called Antiochus or Antichrist), and he prefigures the antichrist. So yes, the beast has been around a long time, since well before Jesus' birth, and he will continue to be until the end. This is why John combines different symbols from different ages into a single transhistorical beast.
