Hi Rondmon and welcome to CF
BTW, I am a sister, LOL. Just thought I would through that out there
Hello Sister, Peace and Greeting from our Lord Jesus Christ, my understanding and Study of Daniel's 70 weeks is as follows.
The Prophecy of the 70 weeks as given to Daniel:
"At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. 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. { Note, Seventy weeks of punishment is determined by God as punishment for Israels sin against God. Only 69 Weeks have passed according Daniel/Jesus, the other week is yet to come. }
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. 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. And he shall confirm (The Hebrew root word used here for CONFIRM is gabar 1396, meaning to Be Strong, to Prevail or to Act Insolently, this is why we must study the Hebrew, that gives MORE OOMPH to this passage, the Anti-Christ seems to Make Israel make a deal with him !! ) 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. " Daniel 9: 23-27 { Notice that Daniel prophesies that after 7 followed by 62 weeks or 69 weeks in total, the Messiah will be cut off, but not for himself (of course he died for us). Then of course the City is destroyed, we know Israel was then dispersed around all the world, only to be brought back to life ( Ezekiel's Valley of Dry Bones Prophecy ) in the Last Days. Daniel then says he will make a covenant with many for one week, then he (Anti-Christ) will cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, and make Desolate. The Hebrew words used for overspreading of Abominations is shiqquwts root word 8251 and implies disgusting, filthy, idolatrous.....So the Anti-Christ says he is GOD in the Temple of God and/or erects an Image of the Beast in the Temple (Idolatry) followed by he shall make [it] Desolate, Hebrew Root word used here for Desolate is shamem, it means to stun, devastate, grow numb or stupefy.....Seems the Anti-Christ erects and Image in the Temple and Stuns/devastates Israel with this move. The reason I think this is in the End Times Sister is because of Jesus' own words in Matthew 24: ( And also because the Temple was not destroyed One Week (7 years) after Jesus was crucified. If the 70 Weeks Prophecy had of ended 2000 years ago, then the prophecy would have had to be more than 70 Weeks, because there is 40 years between Jesus death and when the Temple was Destroyed.)
Matthew 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 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. { Notice Jesus says stand in the Holy Place, I think it is an Image of the Beast, that is to be Worshiped by all, this Image as per Revelation comes Alive. Whatever it is, that is why Daniel uses the word shamem, and says Israel will be stunned/devastated by shiqquwts or a filthy idol. Also notice this is when those living in Judea are to flee into the wilderness, just like Revelation chapter 12, when the Woman (Israel) flees to the Wilderness and is protected by God. }
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 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.
{ This is where the Tribulation comes from, Jesus said there would never have been, nor ever will be, such a Great Tribulation as this, so hence the word Tribulation is used, and since over 100 Million people were slain in the 20th Century/WW1 and WW2 along with a few dictators, we know this Tribulation period has to be worse than the 20th Century, and nothing that happened 2000 years ago even approaches the death and mayhem of even the 20th Century death and destruction, so Jesus, imho, was not speaking about 2000 years ago, but about the End Times/Last Days, when the Beast will set up shop in a rebuilt Temple.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. {Another clue here, except those days be shortened, no flesh would be saved ( speaking of the End Times and Nuclear war no doubt, 2000 years ago couldn't have been shortened, because we are here 2000 years later, so putting Daniel's prophecy, together with Jesus words/prophecy, we can only come to one conclusion, the Abomination of Desolation happens in the Last Days, at the end of Indignation or Sin, Jesus died for all of our sins no doubt, but sins did not end, and will not end until the Anti-Christ and all his minions are destroyed, and cast into hell fire.
Through my studies, this is how the 70 Weeks break down: (A Week of course is 7 Years)
7 Weeks - This 49 year period is the time where the 'commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem' was given. It would take 49 years to accomplish this, and it began in 445 BC.
62 Weeks - From the end point on the rebuilding of the walls, until Messiah was to be revealed, it would be 62 weeks, or 434 years.
The Last Week - This 7 year period is yet future because God stopped the time-clock when Israel rejected the Messiah and He went to the cross.
Adding the 7 weeks, or 49 years, to the 62 weeks, or 434 years, brings us to a total of exactly 483 from the time that the
commandment went forth to rebuild the walls unto the very day, April 2, 30 AD, that Jesus was paraded through the streets of Jerusalem just prior to going to the cross. ( Note: According to what Calendar you use, give or take a few days, etc.)
Everything happened precisely as Gabriel had told Daniel that it world. The streets and the walls of Jerusalem were
rebuilt in exactly 49 years. And from that day to the day that "Messiah was cut off", a reference to Jesus rejection by His own
people and then execution on the cross, was exactly 434 years. Then, after 483 years of exacting bible prophecy come true,
God stops the clock and began the time of 'the great pause'. All through the bible we read where, because of the rejection
of Jesus as Messiah, God turned to the gentiles. In the Old Testament this was a great mystery, but in the New Testament
that mystery is revealed as the Church. The bible then goes on to say that this is called the 'times of the gentiles' which will
end with the Rapture of the Church. At which point, with the Church taken out of the way, God again turns His attention to
the Jews and Israel, and restarts the clock to begin the final week of Daniel's prophecy. Before we continue, allow me to show
bible verses which demonstrates those points -
