70 Weeks (and beyond) Made Simple

O

Guest
The 2 links to my public Dropbox galleries below contain charts I have made that explain the 70 Weeks of Daniel 9 (and beyond) in a very 'easy to understand' way - for a website my wife and I have been working on. The appendices (the second link) further explain and verify the intricacies and precision of God's time periods in His Word. The appendices I've also coded from scratch (CSS, HTML, Java, etc.) which display the main theme for the site. I'm coding the main study as we speak so it will match the theme given to the appendices (the main study I originally did in 'MS Paint' believe it or not - ouch).

I've posted some of this before in another forum (Illuin is my username there) because even though it is a very common topic, many people are still confused because the subject is complicated.

I hope these charts will make this topic simple to understand and more enjoyable to study. God Bless. Pete

Daniel 9:24-27 the Vision of the Seventy Weeks

Vs. 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.

This verse shows us that the timing from Ezra to the cross was 490 days as within that time Ezra was reestablishing the law in Jerusalem until Jesus had fulfilled the end of transgression, made an end to sin, made reconciliation for iniquity and bring everlasting righteousness and to seal up the prophecy to fulfill the law through the cross.

Vs. 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.

From the time of the cross, which also means the last days, which includes what some like to separate and call the Great Tribulation, which is not mentioned anywhere in scripture and is not a separate event after the elect of God are caught up, but as the last days so we are in tribulation times until the end of the world as we know it; (Ref: Acts 2:17; Hebrews 1:1,2; Matthew 24:4-31; Mark 13:24-31; Luke 21:5-36). These are just some of the scriptures that support that we will go through all things of Revelation Chapters 6-21 (Please read these chapters). Everyone will have opportunity to come unto salvation through Jesus Christ if they would only repent, but when Satan is cast into the lake of fire forever after the second battle, which will be explained later in this chapter, that will come out of Jerusalem Gods judgment will be upon his people and the books will be opened at that time. No secret rapture as the saints of God are still here at this time, Matthew 25:10.

Vs.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.

After 434 years that end in the year AD29 shall Messiah be cut off. Jesus was crucified after he was baptized in AD 29 three and a half years later. Jesus was cut off (killed) by the people of the prince, which means National Israel or other words the Pharisees, Sanhedrin and the high priest that destroy the city and the sanctuary (meaning Christ) and the end thereof shall be with a flood (Gods wrath) that will put an end to abominations by desolation or in other words a ruin to evil deeds. Daniel 9:27 explains the definitions of desolation of abominations or the ruin of evil deeds. There is no actual Desolations of Abominations where the so-called Antichrist will take a literal throne, but the desolation will be when the final Pope tries to take his throne in Jerusalem, (Ref: Daniel 11:36-45). Gods’ word never defines one great Antichrist, but says there are many antichrists. The seven years that some call the seven year tribulation means three and a half years of Jesus teaching before he was crucified and three and a half years of Stephen teaching before he was stoned to death, which took place after Jesus was taken up to heaven.

1John 2:18; 2Thessalonians 2:1-12

Vs.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.

The 70th seven began with Christ baptism in AD 29 and three years later at the end of the first half of the 70th seven sacrifices and offering ceased because Christ hung on the cross as he was the final sacrifice that fulfilled the law. From the giving of the law in 458BC when Ezra went to establish the law, or to rebuild the Spiritual city right up to the cross were the first 69 sevens. The 70th seven is from the time of the cross until Jesus comes and gathers his bride as they prepare to stand in the Holy place until the overspreading of abominations he will make desolate, or make an end to all that would not repent.
 
Os,

I'm looking at your charts a little at a time. They are very detailed and I need to digest them slowly. I'm not getting any younger, ya know. :lol

for_his_glory,

Your timeline seems to be all over the place. Daniel's 70 weeks is very simple to understand if one looks at it as part of the overall Messianic prophecies. The 70 weeks are consecutive. No gaps and it ended between the time Stephen was stoned and when the gospel was introduced to the first Gentile, Cornelius.

From the time Jesus was baptized (His baptism and anointing ushered in, confirmed, the New Covenant), until the time of Cornelius is seven years. At midpoint was His crucifixion, was in effect, put an end to Temple worship and ritual as they knew it. The physical effects of all that was realized in 70Ad, when the Temple was destroyed, never to be rebuilt again.

The New Covenant needs no physical Temple because now, that Temple is spiritual, manifested in each and every believer.

So there will be no Pope sitting in ant throne when Jesus physically returns.

There will also be no flood in God's final wrath that destroys the earth because God said so!

Gen 9:11 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

Gen 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

So the flood mentioned in Daniel 9:26 must refer to something else.

For a really good observation of Daniel 9:24:27, check out Issac Newton's observations:

He also does a decent job of explaining the overspreading (wings) of abominations. :yes
 
I never said it was a literal flood as I know God will never destroy this present earth with a flood again. What I meant there was a flood of Gods wrath pouring out on the wicked, not a literal flood and as for the timing I got that right out of Daniel chapter nine with a study on Ezra. As far as a final Pope taking a literal seat in Jerusalem I do see this happening as associations are being established between the two as i have read about the Popes visits to Jerusalem.

Ok, I understand you 'flood' reference now. :yes

I have to ask, where is this Pope going to 'sit?'
 
As Satan being the puppet master of a Papal system that will lead us into a NWO I would say he will take his seat in the Temple in Jerusalem as Papal Rome has diplomatic ties with every nation.

Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
 
We're getting beyond the thread topic. Maybe a thread on the subject of a future (physical) Temple is in order?

That's kind of the problem. While I agree pretty much with Osgiliath's explanation of the 70 weeks, the premise runs into serious trouble when extrapolated out either forward or back in time.

Many Protestant reformers, including Martin Luther, John Calvin, Thomas Cranmer, John Knox, and Cotton Mather, identified the Roman Papacy as the Antichrist.[57] The Centuriators of Magdeburg, a group of Lutheran scholars in Magdeburg headed by Matthias Flacius, wrote the 12-volume "Magdeburg Centuries" to discredit the papacy and identify the pope as the Antichrist. The fifth round of talks in the Lutheran-Roman Catholic dialogue notes,

In calling the pope the "antichrist," the early Lutherans stood in a tradition that reached back into the eleventh century. Not only dissidents and heretics but even saints had called the bishop of Rome the "antichrist" when they wished to castigate his abuse of power.[58]

Just wondering how it feels knowing that your view of the Papacy comes right out of the Dark Ages?

And why do ex/Protestands 'run' from that 'simple Truth' today? It is because they finaly 'see' that they are the daughters.. on BEYOND Dan. 70 weeks as the post includes!

Rev.17

[1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
[2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
[3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, [[THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.]]

And yes, the 'AND BEYOND' part is what is important, for these ones in our day were in good sincere Love to Christ at their start of their reformation! Still ignorant to some Truths, but what more could they be held accountable for back then!:thumbsup
James 4
[17] Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

It [is now] that these ones have also become the Abomination of the Earth as well as their mommy! They have been around denomination/wise the 120 years of the Holy Spirits Striving + the 3 Angels message being preached long past any 'time' allotement of God as seen in Gen. 6:3, and with NO CHANGE by being 'LED' of the Holy Spirit to do so! Rom. 8:14 :sad

Ive seen these on the other site mentioned. I would like to support several aspects (but not all aspects) of these well presented charts.
  1. The 49-year cycle is correct. Your charts explain well how the year 50 fits in.
  2. You have nailed the dates. lf we repeatedly add 7 as you have done, it locates the actual sabbath years.
  3. Daniels 70 weeks does not stand alone; there are repeating eras of 490 years.
  4. Daniels 70th week was not disconnected; it followed the 69th week consecutively and logically.

However, may I point out several problems? Sorry Oz, I don’t want to be negative :bigfrown but have to ask. In 1 King 6:1 we are told when the Exodus happened. So how do you get 1437 BC?

Then there is the curly question of future date setting. Can we put significance on the recent year of 1994? I don’t think so.

It has been awhile with no reply. So let me just keep your thread going if I may?

God says Eccl. 3:15 has a repeat!;) ('Spiritually' at least in part)
'i' see the one week of the 70 ending at 27 A.D. with the Gospel going to the Gentiles by Saul's conversion to Paul. And starting with John's baptising of Christ with the Father's Annointing of Christ for His work. Seven times or years and in the Midst of the Week by Dan. would be the Crucifixion CENTER PIECE of the Rev. 14:6 Eternal Gospel, as I see it.

OK: On the Day of Atonement in Lev. the message of 'seven spots of blood' in the Most Holy Place once a year finds me believing that earths history will have Christ's last Virgin Church of Rev. 3:16 with her candlestick removed. (Rev. 2:5 + Rev. 3:16 becoming ibid. 9 or the Prophesied repeat of Matt. 23:38)

So back to the question you asked? I see the same EXACT execution of Christ by Laodicea's Virgin Candlestick told in Heb. 6 who went the SAME HISTORY REPEATED WAY of at least part of the 70 weeks last Prophecy. Only this time it is done in the heavenly Sanctuaries last fatal work for Laodicea.
Heb.6

[1] Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
[2] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

[3] And this will we do, if God permit.
[4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and [[[were made partakers of the Holy Ghost]],
[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
[6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance;

[[seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame]].

And both Christ + Paul stated that from the MIDNIGHT CRY to the 70 (39 yrs latter) LOUD CRY would be 'cut short in Rightousness! So, even perhaps the same content? but surely 'repeated' and squeezed together time/wise.

--Elijah

PS: And 'i' for one, believe that Laodicea has already fallen.:sad (compare Matt. 25:10)

PS:PS: Re: 70 Weeks (and beyond) Made Simple is what the RE: asks is it not??
