Biblical Prophecy 2/27/2010

Daniel’s 70th week.

Key things to remember.

The end of all of these things is to see righteousness and absolutely no sin for ages without end. The purposes of God are a sinless earth and an earth filled with people. Israel is God’s chosen instrument to bring to pass all these things, and the first and most important task has been accomplished, the Messiah has come! and he will come again.

Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

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.

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, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

7 and 62 of the 69 weeks have already occurred; the 70th week is yet in the future. The first 7 weeks, 49 years were the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem and the surrounding city. The next 62 weeks or 434 years were Israel holding against its enemies (including the wars of the Maccabees) until Messiah could come to the temple and be cut off; this Jesus did for us to make an end of sins and defeat the powers of darkness at Calvary.

The 70th week is more fully discussed in the book of Revelation, the revealing of what is to come. They will end when the messiah comes a second time with 10 thousands of his saints to execute judgment upon the earth.

Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

42 months, 3.5 years and 1260 days all refer to the latter half of the final week. there are also mentioned 1290 days; 1335 days and 2300 days, all to be understood as time for the establishment of the kingdom of the messiah and the 1000 year rule with a rod of iron.

The division of the 70th week occurs with the Abomination that makes desolate. The breaking of the covenant between the antichrist and Israel which leads to great tribulation.

Dan 11:31 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.

Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Matt 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:)

Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

Be blessed studying the word of God.
