Daniels 70 weeks made Simple

[JLB]

The fact that Cyrus' order to rebuild was countermanded and the work ceased so soon proves that Daniel's 70wks countdown did not begin with Cyrus. There is no provision in the 490yrs for gaps. Cyrus ended the 70yrs of Jeremiah, but that does not mean he began the 490yrs of Daniel.

That's exactly what it means.

Cyrus gave the command to restore and rebuild Jerusslem according to the word of The Lord.

It was Cyrus that gave the command that started the 70 weeks.

Artexerses's letter is what was used to stop the work.

It was Darius command that started. It again.

[Deborah13]

Based on Ezra 1:1-3 Cyrus gave the command...

1 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, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem.

Later on in Ezra 4 we see Darius and Artaxerxes came after Cyrus, and made a decree that would stop the work and later start the work again.

4 Then the people of the land tried to discourage the people of Judah. They troubled them in building, 5 and hired counselors against them to frustrate their purpose all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. 6 In the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 7 In the days of Artaxerxes also, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabel, and the rest of their companions wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the letter was written in Aramaic script, and translated into the Aramaic language. Ezra 4:4-7

and again -

23 Now when the copy of King Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem against the Jews, and by force of arms made them cease. 24 Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia. Ezra 4:23-24


I hope you will not ignore the fact that Cyrus gave the command for the work to begin, and after that Artaxerxes wrote a letter for the work to cease.

Obviously the work had to start prior to the letter of Artaxerxes that halted the work that was in progress.

In other words the work could not cease unless it had first started.

Cyrus gave the command to start the work prior to Artaxerxes stopping the work, which later was started again by Darius.

That is how these kings were involved.

It was Cyrus who was anointed by God to build the city and the temple, who gave the command that started the 70 weeks clock ticking, until Messiah the Prince.

I hope you will not ignore the fact that for something to cease, it first must have been started.

I look at the dates of the reign of Cyrus and know that the count can't not start there.
If one does not believe that the dates are accurate then it's a moot point.

Do you have a scripture that shows us Artaxerxes gave the command to release the exiled children of Israel to restore and build Jerusalem?

You looked at the dates?

Did you look at the scriptures?

Here is the scripture that shows Cyrus gave the command...


1 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, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth the Lord God of heaven has given me. And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3 Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem.
Ezra 1:1-3

Here is the supporting scripture that shows us that God called Cyrus to build the city and the Temple.

26 Who confirms the word of His servant, And performs the counsel of His messengers; Who says to Jerusalem, 'You shall be inhabited,' To the cities of Judah, 'You shall be built,' And I will raise up her waste places; 27 Who says to the deep, 'Be dry! And I will dry up your rivers'; 28 Who says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd, And he shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, "You shall be built," And to the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid." ' 1 "Thus says the Lord to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held-- To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut: 2 'I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward," Says the Lord of hosts.Isaiah 44:26-45:3,13


... I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward," Says the Lord of hosts.

It was this work of Cyrus that typifies Christ!


Please share the scriptures that show us it was Artaxerxes's command that was given to restore Jerusalem.

But Cyrus' decree didn't say anything about building the city and it's walls or streets.

Ezr 1:2 `Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that is in Judah;
Ezr 1:3 who is among you of all His people? His God is with him, and he doth go up to Jerusalem, that is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, God of Israel--He is God--that is in Jerusalem.


In this scripture is a second decree which specifically mentions the timbers for the gates and the walls of the city. So we see that the freeing of the people happened immediately by Cyrus' decree, so that they could build the temple. Cyrus' decree also started the work on the temple and Darius honored the decree. So the temple was built. (note: Cyrus freed all slaves not just the Jewish slaves)

Neh 2:1 And it cometh to pass, in the month of Nisan, the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, wine is before him, and I lift up the wine, and give to the king, and I had not been sad before him;
Neh 2:2 and the king saith to me, `Wherefore is thy face sad, and thou not sick? this is nothing except sadness of heart;' and I fear very much,
Neh 2:3 and say to the king, `Let the king to the age live! wherefore should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of the graves of my fathers, is a waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?'
Neh 2:4 And the king saith to me, `For what art thou seeking?' and I pray unto the God of the heavens,
Neh 2:5 and say to the king, `If to the king it be good, and if thy servant be pleasing before thee, that thou send me unto Judah, unto the city of the graves of my fathers, and I built it.'
Neh 2:6 And the king saith to me (and the queen is sitting near him), `How long is thy journey? and when dost thou return?' and it is good before the king, and he sendeth me away, and I set to him a time.
Neh 2:7 And I say to the king, `If to the king it be good, letters let be given to me for the governors beyond the River, that they let me pass over till that I come in unto Judah:
Neh 2:8 and a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the paradise that the king hath, that he give to me trees for beams for the gates of the palace that the house hath, and for the wall of the city, and for the house into which I enter;' and the king giveth to me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

Again I listed the scriptures that teach us that God raised up Cyrus, for the purpose of rebuilding both the city and temple.



13 I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward," Says the Lord of hosts. Isaiah 45:13

and again -

28 Who says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd, And he shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, "You shall be built," And to the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid." '


The decree of Cyrus started the work of restoration.

The decree of Cyrus started Daniels 70 weeks.

The pause or cease in the work is what caused the clock to stop.

That is why the 69 weeks are separated into 7 weeks and 62 weeks.

Cyrus gave the initial command to start Daniel's 70 weeks.

Maybe you should try setting aside the "dates" that the US Naval Observatory has provided and just look at the scripture and what the scriptures teach us.

The scripture teaches Cyrus was king and gave command before Artexerses.

Please just show me your scripture that teaches us Artaxerxes gave the command to free the children of Israel after the 70 years to restore and build Jerusalem, which would include the temple in Jerusalem.

Let's examine the scripture you have and discuss it.

You will have to ask one of the other posters. I used to think it was from Darius, until this thread.

 

[JLB]

Ezra chapter 4 is a summary of the political opposition to the Jews rebuilding. A series of letters were made to Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes (Ahasuerus) and Artaxerxes over a period of about 80 years. Artaxerxes would have been pressured as soon as he came to the throne, just as his father was. (v.4) So, he stopped the work temporarily. Then, in his 7th year he issued a decree to allow the work to continue.

Darius issued the decree to resume the work.

24 Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia king of Persia.
Ezra 4:24

Strawman. Nobody is claiming Artaxerxes gave the command to free the children of Israel after the 70 years because Dan 9:25 says nothing about a command to free the children of Israel, only "the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem". You only assume this includes Cyrus' edict and the temple. Remember that Jerusalem under David never even had a temple, so it is possible to restore and build Jerusalem regardless the state of the temple, whether it exists or not.

 

[Sinthesis]

Oh that is nothing. Look up 'missing Hebrew calendar years' to see how some Jewish authorities interpret the 70wks. JLB's futile efforts to conform historic reality to a seductive scripture interpretation are mild in comparison.:wink

Brother you really need to hear what you are saying.

The command to restore and build Jerusalem is contingent upon the release of the exiles.

Unless you believe someone else is going to do the work of restoring and building Jerusalem.

Case closed.

Ezra 7

Then read the rest of Ezra to see what restoring and building Jerusalem entailed.

1 Then King Darius issued a decree, and a search was made in the archives, where the treasures were stored in Babylon. 2 And at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll was found, and in it a record was written thus: 3 In the first year of King Cyrus, King Cyrus issued a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem: "Let the house be rebuilt, the place where they offered sacrifices; and let the foundations of it be firmly laid, its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits, 4 with three rows of heavy stones and one row of new timber. Let the expenses be paid from the king's treasury. 5 Also let the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple which is in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and taken back to the temple which is in Jerusalem, each to its place; and deposit them in the house of God"-- Ezra 6:1-5



1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia...

Cyrus had already given the command to set the exiles free to do the work of restoring and building Jerusalem.

Darius and Artaxerxes just continued what Cyrus had started.

By Ezra Chapter 7, we see the exiles had already been free from the 70 years of exile.

There was pause in the work, when the command was given to make the work cease.

That is why the time frame is written as seven weeks and sixty two weeks.

"Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; Daniel 9:25


The word of the Lord through Isaiah teaches us the intent of the Lord concerning Cyrus.

Who frustrates the signs of the babblers, And drives diviners mad; Who turns wise men backward, And makes their knowledge foolishness; Who confirms the word of His servant, And performs the counsel of His messengers; Who says to Jerusalem, 'You shall be inhabited,' To the cities of Judah, 'You shall be built,' And I will raise up her waste places; Who says to the deep, 'Be dry! And I will dry up your rivers'; Who says of Cyrus, 'He is My shepherd, And he shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, "You shall be built," And to the temple, "Your foundation shall be laid." '

"Thus says the Lord to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held-- To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut: 'I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the Lord, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel. For Jacob My servant's sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.

I have raised him up in righteousness, And I will direct all his ways; He shall build My city And let My exiles go free, Not for price nor reward," Says the Lord of hosts. Isaiah 44:24-45:3,13


It was Cyrus who gave the command that set the exiles free to restore Jerusalem, which started with the Temple.

It was Cyrus command that began the 70 weeks prophecy, until Messiah the prince.

Both Cyrus and the Messiah were anointed ones in this Prophetic Word.

The Word of the Lord can not be denied as to His Plan and Purpose through Cyrus, who was a type of Christ.

Finally, Artaxerxes only continued with the restoring of the house of God and granted to Ezra what Ezra wanted because of what Cyrus had already done.

The king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the Lord his God upon him. Ezra 7:6

JLB

Do you not have access to a Bible? If you do then just read Ezra 7 for it contains Artaxerxes command freeing exiles to return with Ezra to restore and build Jerusalem. It seems you already accept this as true for now you presuppose it must be the first instance of the command which begins Daniel's 70wks, however this is a false assumption because as you can see below the command originated with God. Therefore the only question is which instance of the command began the 70wks, and it it is not possible for Cyrus' edit to be the correct instance without distorting the calendar in a way similar to what some Jews do to assert their own interpretation of the 70wks.

Ezra 6:14 - And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.​

That is not why the weeks are expressed as 7 and 62 because we know when the pause in Jerusalem's reconstruction was, and it does not correspond to 49yrs in beginning, end, or duration.

 

[DRS81]

Cyberseeker I disagree with chart.
You're not including the 1,260 days, 42 months and 1,290 days..
and Dan 9:27, Rev 12:6, Rev 13:5 and Dan 12:11 are all future tense. Take a look..

70 Weeks - 70 x 7 = 490
1 week = 7 year periods
7 weeks = 49 year periods
62 weeks = 434 year periods
69 (7+62) weeks = 483 year periods
70 weeks = 490 year periods of time

Daniel 9:24 is a summary and/or description of the 70 weeks. The 70th week/7 years has yet to be fulfilled.
Daniel 9:25 is (past tense) and a summary of 49 years and 434 years = 483 years
Daniel 9:26 is (past tense) and a summary of after 434 years.
Daniel 9:27 is (future tense/the seven year great tribulation) and a summary of 7 years total and (3.5 years/the middle of the 7 years)
Daniel 12:11 is (future tense) and a summary of 30 more days left (after Dan 9:27 is complete) before the start of Armageddon, one last time to accept Jesus as savior. (1260 days + 30 = 1290)
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.

We also know that the woman in Rev 12 is Israel.
Rev 12:6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
Rev 13:5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

7 years is 7 earth years..
7 year tribulation / 3.5 years split
1,260 days / 3.5 years = 360 days in a biblical year
42 months = 12 months in a year/24 months in 2 years/36 months in 3 years/42 Months is 3.5 years

The 70th Week of Daniel is the key to understanding the 1,290 days.
It is a "week" or in Hebrew a "seven" of years.
7 years x 360 days = 2,520 days.
The 2,520 days are divided into two halves.
1,260 + 1260 = 2,520 days.
So these are two equal time periods of 1260 days.
