That pretty much covers the first 3 1/2 years of Daniel's prophecy. The New
Covenant was preached unto the Jews until the time of the stoning of Stephen and
the time the Gospel was offered to and accepted by the first Gentile, Cornelius.
That time span was, 3 1/2 years
There was nothing about this happening 3.5 years later and even if it was then Dan. 9.24 should have been fulfilled thereafter and was not. In fact, when you think of it that way
preterism is very disrespectful to the disciples who gave their lives under what was supposed to everlasting righteousness of "thy people" the Jews. You're trying to fit a seven year in but
it really doesn't fit too well does it?
That concludes the second half of Daniel's prophecy. To take that prophecy and
rip it out of context, which is Messianic and not about any coming antichrist,
does all the Messianic prophecies a great injustice. I'm sure the Jews of today
get great joy out of us doing so. Daniel's prophecy points straight to our
Messiah.
Your view does great injustice because who would think Dan. 9.24 was fulfilled?
"Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy [temple]" (v.24).
Holy city?
Transgressions finished?
End of sin?
Reconciliation for iniquity?
Everlasting righteousness?
Seal up vision? (John's vision included)
Prophecy fulfilled?
Most holy Temple annointed? It was destroyed in 70 AD.
Dan. 9.24 would occur upon the completion of the 70th seven but if the 70th seven was done 36.5 AD then Israel would have accepted their Messiah they themselves killed. Remember this is treating the Jews and their own everlasting righteous and holy annointing but we all know that's not happening with Israel right now is it?
Dan. 9.26 Jesus being "cut off" (no need to mention it is the end of the sacrifices as that is obvious). His people the Romans? tore down the temple and then jump to verse 27, yet yank this verse back to the cross in verse 26a? It's like how do you make a covenant for 7 years after you are dead?
The one who tore the temple down in Dan. 9.26 (that is, his people) is the one who creates a 7 year deal then break it.
I think you have a big problem connecting a 7 year covenant with Israel's covenant with God because no such covenant is squashed down to 7 years so you have to allegorize it. Hence comes the inordinate allegorizing of the book of Relelation in all kinds of weird ways. Once you start allegorizing foolishly, sin builds upon sin.
Because you don't address these problems, realize the reason you don't because you can't. The preterist just shuts his mind down to these problems.
Remember, the target reader of Daniel were the Jews of Daniel's time.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon
thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to
make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Take note that it says it will make an end of sins. It doesn't say their sins
would end right there and then. But it did give then the means in which they
could atone forever. Paul says there is nether Jews nor Gentile any more. We are
all brought to repentance and atonement the same way. Read Hebrews, which is all
about the Jews who still thought it was possible to achieve this the "old"
way.
Daniel's prophecy does not leave us empty with Jesus' first coming but deals with the end of sin and brings in everlasting righteousness immediately which can't take place until after the Antichrist and when Jesus Himself returns. You are missing half of the everlasting righteousness, for first Jesus comes with authority of the cross; when He returns He returns with power to reign with a "rod of iron" over the nations with overcomers (Rev. 2.26, 20.4-6).
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. " (2 thess 2.3,4).
For the overspreading of wings of obamination is an idol, the Antichrist in the place of the cheribum over the ark, exalting himself as God.
Daniel deals with this and the NT builds on it.
If you knew nothing else, you know one thing that
the 69th and 70th seven can't overlap that should be enough for you.
ere is no other way. There will be no need for another physical temple.
Jesus is the Temple.
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.John 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
John 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
Since we are the Body of Christ, we also are that temple. Paul confirms
this:
1 Cor 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you?
They, in Daniel's time, were looking for the coming of their Messiah. What in
the world would they know about an antichrist, when their Christ hadn't come yet
and why would they even care?
With the building of the 3rd Temple shortly to be completed by the 3rd day inspection of the lamb April, 20 2016, there is 2300 days from April 21 to Tisha B'Av Aug. 7, 2022 when Jesus steps down just as He had left.; this will be your sign as the Temple construction begins. You will have to change your view since you don't pay attention to existence evidence.
Even common sense should tell you the impetus drive behind the plan to build the Temple is sure to happen. Israel will not stop. They have all the items to go. Blueprints in hand. All that is needed is an excuse to get rid of th Dome on the Rock. This even right before our eyes is consistent with how I have read Daniel, but it is inconsistent with your view, so I can see you railing against the saints.
How demonic preterism becomes in the world and influential to worship a false Christ.
We are a temple and Jesus is a temple. Jesus said "this temple". You are overusing this word to reject th Temple
He reigns in 1000 years on earth. He is the one who reigns in the Temple for 1000 years on earth. Now this is the very Jesus of the Bible you reject from doing this, so you will try to stop Him and to try to stop Him you will side with Antichrist.
That should be most disconcerting for you. What is the 1000 years all about? Rev. 20.4-6 says it is a reward to those who overcometh in Christ so a small franction of believers receive this reward of returning with Christ to reign in 7th 1000 year period. This is accoutnability for Christians, consequences for being a spiritual or carnal Christian.
After the 1000 years there is no more need of the Temple on earth as we are transferred livingly into the new earth and God and the Lamb will the center of the New City.
That's why Daniel is the greatest prophet of the OT because He is not just anticipating when Jesus returns and ends sacrifices but he is concerned with what happens after that. If Jesus is dead what happens to Him? He is resurrected when? When does He return and so forth would be questions in Daniel's mind. And he sees the Antichrist at work in men like Alexander the Great and Antochius IV as a foretaste
about what the most evil will be like. And of course Revelation builds on that to identify who is specifically Neron Kaisar = 666 in Aramaic. Nero will be resurrected and take the body of the 7th and become the 8th, for Nero was one of the 5 fallen Caesars who died horrible deaths and the most evil man who ever lived. He killed most of his family members. That takes immense evil. Satan is given the key to the pit to relese Nero at Rev. 9.1 which is the middle of the 7 year Trib. Antichrist stops the sacrifices and the greatest war this world has ever seen ensues in the Great Tribulation lasting 42 months.
Print this out and pray on it over and over. Don't rush through this information.
