Daniel 7 has it...
[
21] Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man
Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
[
22] And he informed me, and talked with me, and said,
O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
[
23] 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.
[
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.
OK: It needs a starting point. Perhaps we agree on day year Bible Prophecy? Eze. 4:6 & Numbers 14:34
Eze.4
[
6] And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah
forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. and again (see Gen. 41:32) in Numbers 14
[
34] After the number
of the days in which ye searched the land, even
forty days,
each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
And we need a starting place for verse 25
[
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.
This in Ezra 7 is dated 457 BC. Check it out for a start of being close even!;) Remember that there is to be proof of a Judgement going on in the Heavenly Sanctuary that is required, because when Christ comes again, His reward is already decided. (the saved & the wicked had already been judged & made up)
[
13]
I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which
are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
[
14] Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellers, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according
to the law of thy God which is in thine hand;
[
15] And
to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellers have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
[
16] And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering
willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem:
[
17] That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and
offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
[
18] And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold,
that do after the will of your God.
[
19] The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
[
20] And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow,
bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
[
21] And
I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
[
22] Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
[
23]
Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Now back to 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.
7x7 -49 onward-> 'threescore & two weeks - onward =434 yrs. + in the 'midst of the week ='s 7 years center. (or the total 490 years to The Acts call of Saul (Paul) to the Gentils. And 2300 is still into the future!
[
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.
I will come back to verse 26 for what we might agree on? But lets see what this merits first!
