If I were an unbeliever stranded on an island with just a bible and I read that bible everyday until I was rescued 25 years later I could know that Jesus is the messiah but would have no idea about a week being pushed into the future, a 7 year tribulation, an antichrist peace treaty, a third temple...because none of these are in the bible that I had read for 25 years. God gave Isreal 70 sevens to do a list of things knowing that they wouldnt do it...Jesus's baptism confirmed a covenant and started a 7 year clock BUT when they killed the holy one the 70 sevens stopped, the curtain was torn and Jesus said "it is finished" (have you ever wondered what was finished?) Jesus spiritually destroyed the temple and about 37 years later God sent the Romans to physically make it desolate....Jesus was never plan B! The only future for Israel now is to repent, turn to God and have faith in Jesus. There are only two people in the world now...those whose names are written in the book of life and those whose names are not written in the book of life...I refuse to believe that, as a gentile, Im not an heir to the promises of Abraham...Im not a step-child...I was adopted and given a rightful place at the table...I was once far off but have been brought nigh. Thank you Jesus!!
MandMe, do you also believe Daniel 9:27 speaks of THE covenant given by Jesus? I own and very much like the Geneva Bible but I only just saw this today! It makes sense. And he (a) 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 (b) cease, (c) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (a) By the preaching of the Gospel he affirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles. (b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection. (c) Meaning that Jerusalem and the sanctuary would be utterly destroyed because of their rebellion against God, and their idolatry: or as some read, that the plague will be so great, that they will all be astonished at them. Geneva & John Calvin notes
You're right Mandme 1991 The 'he' of Daniel 9:27 is Messiah as he is the one who removed the daily oblation and sacrifice by offering himself for sins.
We Gentile believers are engrafted in to Abraham.All the promises given to Abraham are ours. As a Gentile believer we are to witness to the Jews. They gave us Messiah and God's Holy Word. God is perfect in all His ways. Rejoice. I ask God to give you a supernatural love for the Jews. The devil is a liar. Listen only to our GOD AND HIS HOLY WORD. I hope this helps. My son died 40 years ago. When I was grieving my Heavenly Father spoke to me and said, "You and David are heirs and joint heirs with My Son Jesus." It broke all the grief in my life. As believers we are joint heirs with Jesus. I hope this helps.
Amen when the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem and the temple that fulfilled the 70th week prophecy because the scriptures says desolations are determined and the prince of the people that is to come will destroy the city and the temple and that occurred in 70Ad God bless 🙌 🙏
May I suggest... By the context and grammar of the passage, the HE in v.27 is, must be, can only be the Messiah of verses 25-26. HE confirmed the covenant of Abraham with Israel beginning with the start of his formal ministry and that covenant continued with Israel until the events of Acts 7-10, the martyrdom of Stephen, the conversion, baptism and mission of Paul primarily to the gentiles, and the vision of unclean beasts to Peter that opened the delivery of the gospel covenant to the Gentiles with the baptism of Cornelius and his household. The 70th week was divided in half by the atoning sacrifice of Christ, which ended the need for the Levitical sacrificial system of Israel. But Israel rejected the Messiah, he decreed their desolation (Matt 23:38) but they continued their now-abominable sacrifices, and within a generation (40 years) the people of a prince (Titus, who's father was Emperor Vespasien) besieged (another abomination) then desolated (totally annihilated) the city and the temple in 70AD not leaving one stone upon another fulfilling part of the Olivet prophecy given by Christ and recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. The Luke presentation tells you exactly what "the abomination...) is that the Christians were to see as a sign of the coming desolation. Please read all 3 recordings of the Olivet discourse ... and then WATCH as it says in Thessalonians, don't Calculate.
Wow!! Just starting up a small house fellowship and I was trying to explain this very concept-of the whole of the Bible telling the story of God’s plan of redemption from Genesis!! Thank you for this, we’ll be watching as a group in the next coming week! And thank you also for clarifying about the Church walking into the days of Israel’s tribulation - I thought you were going to lose me for a moment, but you did not disappoint! 😅 🙏🙌📖💯👑🔥
There’s nowhere in scripture the mention of the “church age” - but there is “the times of the Gentiles” which continues until the end of Daniel’s 70th week - to the end of the last 1,260 days of great tribulation, as Lk21:24 confirms - and then after that is when the kingdom is restored to Israel. (Acts1:6-7 KJV)
The speaker asserts that the 'he' is anti-Christ. That is an assertion not found in scripture, in it contradicts the text. The antecedent to 'he' is found in verses 25 and 26 'Messiah'. The focus of this vision is Messiah, nothing to do with anti-Christ.
Nope. The context of the "he" in verse 27 is in the preceding verse of 26 which says *"the people of a leader who is coming will destroy the city and the holy place."* Christ certainly did not destroy the city and the holy place by the flood. 26 _“And the people of a leader who is coming will destroy the city and the holy place. And its end will be by the flood. And until the end there will be war; what is decided upon is desolations."_ 27 _“And he will keep the covenant in force for the many for one week; and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease."_
@@ElectricEarth In Matthew chapter 23 Jesus Christ told the sanhedrin that their house was left unto them desolate because of their overspreading of abominations. The fact is that you're using a corrupted translation of the Bible. The 70th week of Daniel according to the King James points to Jesus Christ whereas all the other translations points to the antichrist. Somebody's translation is wrong. The problem with the gap theory between the 69th and 70th week is that the passage doesn't say nor does it imply that such a gigantic time gap is biblical. The 70 weeks prophecy covers a period of 490 years. If you insert a 2000+ years time gap in that 490 years you nullify the prophecy. The 70th and final week began when Christ was baptized in the Jordan River and the Holy Spirit anointed him.The middle of the week was when Christ was Crucified being the perfect sinless sacrifice and thus nullifying all of the animal sacrifices from that point forward. The second 3.5 years is Jesus continuing to confirm THE COVENANT with his Apostles through the Holy Spirit and it ended with the stoning of Stephen because from this point the Gospel began to be preached to the Gentiles. The epistle to the Hebrews bears record that Jesus Christ himself fulfilled the 70th week to the letter specifically Hebrews chapter 9. Where people fail to understand is that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple occurred outside of the 490 Daniel 9:26 AFTER threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the was desolations are determined. This is a verse of cause and effect. Cause:The rejection and crucifixion of Messiah Effect:Less than 40 years later Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed by the 10th Roman Legion under the command of General Titus who just happened to be the son of the Roman Emperor Vespasian. The son of an Emperor or a king is a PRINCE!! If Jesus Christ didn't fulfill every single word of the 70 weeks prophecy then he wasn't the Messiah. This guy makes the same mistake that many so-called Bible teachers make. They insert things into the text that it doesn't say. Nowhere in Daniel chapter 9 is the word Antichrist mentioned nor implied. The devil cannot make a covenant period.
@@owensterry29 “The devil cannot make a covenant????” Where do you find that in the scriptures? Who told you he can’t make a covenant? He told Jesus if He bowed down and worshipped him, then he would give Him all the kingdoms of the world. He made a promise to Jesus that he would give Him a blessing if Jesus would honor his word by bowing down to him and worship him. That sounds like a covenant or a contract to me. But of course Jesus rejected his offer so there was no covenant or contract between them. But the offer was presented. Just as God made a promise to Abraham, so too Satan made a promise to Jesus. God showed Abraham all the land and told him he would inherit it. Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and said it would be His.
1st point: 490 means 490, not 2,490. God is very good at numbers and knows what he is talking about. You (and many others) apparently think that God got his sums wrong. 2nd point: Jerusalem began to become a city again with Ezra's commission, Nehemiah came along later and simply finished the rebuilding. 3rd ppint: the prophecy is all about Messiah and what HE would accomplish. Daniel's people (the Jews) cannot do any of the 6 things mentioned, only Christ can, and from the cross (at the end of the 70th week) he declared, "it is finished". 4th point: antichrist is not a person, it is a way of thinking. Read John's letters, in which he tells us that 'the spirit of antichrist' was within the church from the beginning, after Christ's ascension. Antichrist is not a person who, as popular thought believes, will come along before the end of the age. That kind of thinking is exactly what John is speaking about. 5th point: Jesus' prophecy concerning the desolation of Jerusalem, was fulfilled exactly 40 years after Daniel's 70th week, AD 66 - 73. 6th point: Jesus' baptism took place 40 years before the last Day of Atonement held at the Temple. Jesus was the scapegoat who took upon himself the sin of the world and was then led by 'a fit man' (the spirit, Lev 16:21) into the wilderness. 7th point: the 70 weeks prophecy was given by God to Gabriel, who gave it to Daniel. It was spoken from God's viewpoint, not man's. As far as He is concerned the prophecy was fulfilled by His Son (the Son of God, NOT God the Son) in AD 33, exactly when He said it would be.
Daniel 9 never says "69 weeks to the Crucifixion", it says 69 weeks to Messiah the Prince. Also, you cannot go via 483 years from Nehemia's decree (444 BC) to Jesus, this is several years to late. (The usual trick to manipulate the data, claiming prophetic years, is just that: a trick.) Inserting the Antichrist into thus not only overlooks the importance of the wird "Covenant". Also, the 490 years must be continous. Splitting it off via a gap lasting four times as long is not admissible. It would no longer be 490 but more like 2490 years.
Tribulation is not the same thing as God's wrath. It's that simple. The great tribulation is part of the 70th week - not the whole of the 70th week. The great tribulation is not the time of God pouring out His wrath on the unrepentant wicked (the trumpet/bowl judgements). The great tribulation is cut short by the celesitial signs, the sign of the Son of Man coming on the clouds and the gathering (rapture) of the God's elect (the Church/Bride) from the world. THEN the wrath of God begins to be poured out throughout the end of the 70th week and ends with the antichirst and false prophet being cast alive into the lake of fire, and the dragon (Satan) being bound and cast into the abyss which is sealed for 1000 years. The millinial kingdom commences from that point.
This teacher is Dispensational, and not biblical. Daniel’s 70 years are continuous and not meant to be broken up. Daniel’s prophecy is about Jesus Christ, not the anti Christ. The last 7 years are from Jesus’ baptism 27 AD to Stephan’s stoning in 34 AD.
Is the New Covenant found in Daniel chapter 9? Are we supposed to believe the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel to reveal the timeline of the Messiah who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and then the angel failed to even mention the New Covenant. Or, is the covenant with the many in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the many in Matthew 26:28? The 1599 Geneva Bible is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America, before John Darby showed up on our shores. What was the earlier understanding of Daniel 9:27 found below in the notes of the 1599 Geneva Bible? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan 9:27 And he shal confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate. Daniel 9:27 And he (a) 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 (b) cease, (c) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (a) By the preaching of the Gospel he affirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles. (b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection. (c) Meaning that Jerusalem and the sanctuary would be utterly destroyed because of their rebellion against God, and their idolatry: or as some read, that the plague will be so great, that they will all be astonished at them. ------------------------------------------------ During recent years many New Covenant scholars have examined Daniel chapter 9 from a New Covenant perspective. Did Christ fulfill the summary found in Daniel 9:24? Is it about the New Covenant fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary? 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. Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (These two verses are quoted from Jeremiah 31:31-34.) Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. The death of the Messiah is found in Daniel 9:26, and there are only two possible singular antecedents for the word “he” in the next verse. Those antecedents are either Christ or Titus, who was the prince of the people that destroyed the temple during 70 AD. Dan 9:26 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. Dan 9:27 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. Is the “he” in Daniel 9:27 the “Messiah”, or “the prince” of the people that destroyed the city and the sanctuary in verse 26? If we used “the people of the prince” it would not be a singular “he”. Does the author of the Book of Hebrews connect the New Covenant with the Messiah’s death found in Daniel 9:26, in the verse below? Heb 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (NKJV) Verse 26 also says the Messiah would be cut off “after” the 69 weeks. If I agree to paint your house “after” 69 weeks, it will not be painted until the 70th week, or after. Is there a “gap” of almost 2,000 years between the 69th week and the 70th week, or was it fulfilled during the first century when the Gospel was preached “first” to the Jews? We know there is a time period when the Gospel was taken “first” to the Jews, as the Apostle Paul said in the verse below. Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Can we find a time period of about seven years when the Gospel was taken “first” to Daniel’s people during the first century? If we can, we have good evidence that the 70th week of Daniel has already been fulfilled. Did Christ command His disciples to take the Gospel only to Israel in the passage below? Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mat 10:7 And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Is the time period when the Gospel was preached “first” (Rom. 1:16) to the Jews in the passage above, confirmed in the passage below? Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) Act 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. In the passage above Luke confirms the fact that the Gospel of Christ was preached throughout the land of Israel after the baptism which John preached. Here again, we have a text which reveals a time period when the Gospel was taken “first” to the Jews, as Paul said in Romans 1:16. Bible scholars have looked at the number of Passover celebrations in the Gospels and have estimated Christ’s earthly ministry to have lasted about three and one half years. Was the Gospel taken “first” (Rom. 1:16) to the Jews for a period of about three and one half years during the period of time revealed in the Gospels? In Galatians 1:14-18 Paul reveals he did not go up to see Peter until about 3 years after his conversion. During that time the Gospel continued to be taken almost exclusively to Daniel's people, before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles. Read the recent book "The 70th Week of Daniel 9 DECODED" by David Wilcoxson for confirmation of the above.
He started out great but then he lost me at 26:13 when referring to the messiah as the antichrist who would "confirm the covenant with many for a week." "The" covenant as opposed to "a" covenant. Clearly, this covenant is the new covenant (testament) ratified by the blood of Jesus. (see Luke 22:20). I actually did learn something watching this video, but the Bible says to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. Jesus is the messiah or anointed one Acts 10:38 "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Jesus was anointed at His Baptism when the HS in the form of a dove hovering over Him and the Father saying, "This is my beloved son, hear Him" Matt 3:17.
You misunderstood what he said at 26.13...he referred to the 'antichrist' -or false messiah- as 'he' who confirms a covenant for 7 years. This false messiah deceives many in the last days.
Daniel 9:27 (KJV) 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. Who is the 'he' who makes it desolate?? Is it not the same 'he' who confirms the covenant with many for 7 years? And the same 'he' who stops the daily sacrifice? And isn't it Jesus who is the one who CONSUMES the one who makes desolate??? The desolate is clearly the antichrist, whom God will destroy at his coming...all the 'he' in Daniel 9:27 is referring to the man of sin, the lawless one, thw antichrist. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10 (KJV) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall ***consume*** with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Revelation 19:20 (KJV) And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
@@lluda44 This passage is difficult to translate. The KJV says that “he will make desolate,” while the NSAB and the ESV say that “shall come one who makes desolate.” The NSAB and ESV are the better translation and make clear that the “one who makes desolate” (the temple) is different from the one that makes the covenant. I would understand the one who makes the covenant to be Jesus because he was the prince who was to come in v. 26. And then the “one” who makes desolate is some leader associated with the desolations of Jerusalem. The people of the prince (same anointed one, i.e. Jesus), is Israel who’s actions in killing Jesus, and later actions, bring about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70. This “one” seems to be associated with Israel and is some sort of false messiah. The reason the KJV translates it as “he will make desolate” is because the view at the time was that this passage was about Jesus and that he made the temple desolate in the gospels when he said that “this house is left to you desolate.” And then the “consummation” or “end” was thought to refer to the second temple’s end in AD 70. This is what the translators of the KJV think this is about. The NIV, like the KJV attempts to impose itself on the difficulties found in the translation. Only, unlike the KJV, which thinks the “he” of the covenant and the “he” who desolates the Temple is Jesus, the NIV makes it about Antichrist. The NIV interprets “on the wing of” to be the temple, and this is especially informed by 2 Thess 2. But both the KJV and NIV are poor “readings into” of the text. The NSAB and ESV give the proper grammatical rendering without being influenced by preconceived notions. There is a “he” who makes a covenant, and then in relation to the abominations there comes “one who makes desolate.” The reason this is the better translation is that this “one who makes desolate” is all one verb which is a participle and so is very indefinite. It is simply saying “someone” (a masculine singular someone) will do this action. There is nothing that connects this person to the “he” in the prior sentence. “On the wing of abominations” puts temporal distance between these two persons. Now can one try and make them the same? Yes, and the KJV and NIV do this, but that is a matter of interpretation and not at all the best rendering of the translation. So take that for what it is worth.
1. The entire prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 covers a period of “seventy weeks.” This period applies to one complete, sequential block of time. This prophecy would start during the Persian period and would end during the time of the Messiah. 2. Logic requires that the 70th week follow immediately after the 69th week. If it does not, then it cannot properly be called the 70th week! 3. It is illogical to insert a 2,000-year gap between the 69th and the 70th week. No hint of this gap is found in the prophecy itself. There is no gap between the first 7 weeks and the following 62 weeks. Why insert one between the 69th and the 70th week? 4. Daniel 9:27 says nothing about a seven-year period of tribulation, or about any Antichrist 5. The focus of this prophecy is the Messiah, not the Antichrist. Modern interpreters have applied “the people of the prince” who would come to “destroy the city and the sanctuary” (verse 26) to the Antichrist. Yet the text does not say this. In the past, that sentence has been applied to the Romans, who under Prince Titus did “destroy the city and the sanctuary” in'‘A.D. 70 6. “He shall confirm the covenant.” Jesus Christ came “to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.” Romans 15:8. Nowhere in the Bible is Antichrist ever said to make or confirm a covenant with anyone! The word “covenant” always applies to the Messiah, never to the Antichrist! 7. “He shall confirm the covenant with many.” Jesus said, “This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.” Matthew 26:28. Jesus used the same words, because He knew that He was fulfilling Daniel 9:27! 8. “In the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” The 70th week was from A.D. 27 to 34. After three and a half years of ministry, Christ died in A.D. 31, “in the midst [middle] of the week.” At the moment of His death, “the veil of the temple was rent [torn] in twain from the top to the bottom.” Matthew 27. The Great Sacrifice had been offered! 9. “For the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate.” Jesus plainly applied this “abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet” (Matthew 24:15) to the time when His followers were to flee from Jerusalem before the destruction of the second temple in A.D. 70. Jesus told His 12 disciples, “When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies [the Roman armies led by Prince Titus], then know that its desolation is near.” Luke 21:20, emphasis added. Those disciples did “see” those very events. Christ’s very last words to the Pharisees from inside the second temple were, “Behold, (Your house is left unto you desolate.” Matthew 23:38. Thus Daniel’s prophecy about Jerusalem becoming “desolate” was exactly fulfilled in A.D. 70! Jesus understood this perfectly. 10. Gabriel said that the 70'week prophecy specifically applied to the Jewish people (see Daniel 9:24). During the period of Christ’s public ministry of 3 1/2 years, the Master’s focus was largely upon “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 10:6). After His resurrection and then for another 3 1/2 years, His disciples preached mostly to Jews (see Acts 1-6). After that second 3 1/2-year period, in 34 A.D., the bold Stephen was stoned by the Jewish Sanhedrin (see Acts 7). This infamous deed marked the then-ruling Jewish leaders’ final, official rejection of the gospel of our Savior. Then the gospel went to the Gentiles. In Acts 9, Saul became Paul, the “apostle to the Gentiles” (Romans 11:13). In Acts 10, God gave Peter a vision revealing it was now time to preach to the Gentiles(see Acts l0:1-28). Read also Acts (l3:46) Thus approximately 3 1/2 years after the crucifixion-and at the end of the 70-week prophecy given for the Jewish people-the gospel shifted to the Gentiles exactly as predicted in Bible prophecy.
I think the greatest problem among theologians is to connect verse 27 from verse 26. Where is says HE SHALL CONFIRM COVENANT WITH MANY.......!!! This is where there is tragedy!! There are those who believe that the "HE" is Jesus and there are few who believe that it is the ANTI CHRIST. 🌋In solving this problem according to brother Rosenthal I see an imbalance of the prophetic mathematics!!! If the Antichrist will confirm covenant in the 70th week =Last 7 years =2520days!! And then in the mid of the week breech the covenant and cause the daily sacrifice to stop, that will be at the 1260th day!!! We are only remaining with another 1260days to make 7 years!!! 😨From this light, when will then the Israelite flee from Judea for 1260days??? When will the two witnesses prophesy for 1260days??? When will the TRUMPETS AND VIAL JUDGEMENT executed??? Am seeing no time left!!! Even the Locust torments for 5months will have no time to do their work!!! I think as believers we need to REVISIT the connection between the TWO personalities in DANIEL 9:26 with the 27th verse!!! It seems it is at this verse is where millions become RIGHT and millions become WRONG!!! There is bother opinion which am about to take it on board, about the DUAL AND MULTIPLE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHESY, That the ruler who was to come and destroy the city is the Roman emperor in 70th AD. He destroyed the temple and cause days of trouble!!! But Jesus meant that the SHADOW of Daniel prophesy is going to happen again in the last end of times, and this will be 3RD AND GREATEST TRIBULATION that has ever happened, as this will not only be to Israel but to the Universal church!!! THATS MY OPINION, because in Daniel 8 there is another abomination and tribulation only restricted to Israelites during the time of ANTIOCHUS EPIPHINES......the God Manifest(a shadow of the past antichrist)
Dr Richard Sungura I saw this just today for the first time....per Geneva Bible notes and John Calvin commentary. That 9:27 speaks of THE covenant made by Jesus. The whole verse points to a Jesus. I really like the Geneva Bible. I own one. In vs 26..... the prince who shall destroy the city is....... Titus, Vespasians's son, who would come and destroy both the temple, and the people, without any hope of recovery. The WHAT will happen regarding tribulation, the AntiChrist and the taking up of the saints Christians generally agree on but Good Lord.......the HOW and WHEN has several scenarios that mix and match........ 🤦🏻♀️......I say just .... Live For Jesus, BE READY and Have those lamps trimmed.
I think one of the things that lends confusion to the interpretation of end-times events is the idea of the "Church Age". This idea is superimposed on the scriptures, but is not biblical itself. The times of the gentiles does not refer to the church age. The church is neither the collective of gentile believers, nor is it separate from the assembly of righteous Jews. God did not pause his dealings with Israel over the last couple of millennia. The time of the gentiles refers to the Torah prescribed discipline that God would bring on the people of Israel in response to Israel's rebellion and refusal to humble themselves and obey God. Now, this video didn't reference the scriptural allusion to the time of the gentiles, but that is one of the primary biblical references used to support the "Church Age" idea. While God, in His great wisdom, has used the dispersion of the Jews to all nations as a means of declaring the gospel even to the gentiles, it is not gentile acceptance of the gospel that defines the time of the gentiles. Instead, it is gentile control over and desecration of the land of Israel and Jerusalem that defines the time of the gentiles. Whether that desecration be from pagan Romans, Catholic or Orthodox Christians, or Muslim peoples, the fact that nations other than Israel have ruled that area is the key to the idea of the times of the gentiles. Even today, with Israel being a Jewish nation, the gentiles still dominate the landscape of political discourse. I think that a couple of things need to be remembered in Christian discourse to help realign theological interpretation appropriately. Firstly, God is not in the process of reestablishing His rule in the earth. God is fully in control of what is happening in the earth, and everything that happens is within the parameters that He has set forth. Secondly, and related to the first, the Kingdom of God (aka the Kingdom of Heaven) refers to the Messianic rulership of Jesus from David's throne in Jerusalem. This Kingdom is not currently operating, and has not yet been established, but is certain to be given to Jesus and His people at the appropriate time in the very end. Realigning these points helps us to avoid the false interpretation of a "Church Age", and it also helps us to realize that our goal as faithful followers of Jesus is as ambassadors, primarily declaring to the dispersed Jewish people that their Messiah has been identified, He has provided propitiation for their sins, and that it is time for them to repent so that they may be restored when He restores Israel. In the process of testifying to the Jewish people this news, the gentiles are also warned of the soon coming of God's wrath on the nations for there arrogant treatment of the Jewish people, as well as God's call to them to repent of their futile worship of created things rather than the Creator. This is not "spreading the Kingdom" as some would call it, but heralding the coming of that Kingdom. This also mitigates the tendency to think that the Gentile believers will be removed prior to God dealing with Israel once again. God has been dealing with the Jewish people as well as the Gentiles this whole time, in a quite extraordinary way! So then, how do we account for the time gap between the 69th and 70th weeks. It is related to the fullness of Gentile sin, similar to the fullness of the sin of the Canaanites before God brought the Israelites into the land to conquer it. Just as the "passover lamb" was again provided for the people of God, but they largely rejected it, and therefore where sent to be sifted in the "wilderness of the nations", so also, this time has provided a time for the nations of the world to bring their sin to the full, as well as have the fullest opportunity to repent. This gap was prophesied through the feasts that God established. The gap between the firstfruits festivals and the full harvest festival testifies to this gap. Thanks for your work!
There is no time gap between the 69th and 70th week; they are consecutive and have expired. The 70th week began with the anointing or baptism of Jesus (around AD 27) and ended with the rejection of the gospel preached by the apostles in AD 34 and in the killing of steven and paul becoming a minister to the gentiles. Galatians 3:28-29 KJV. The Bible is so plain, why do we have to make it so complicated? If the 70th week is not consecutive to the 69th, then it cannot be the 70th Week Period. Stop making the Bible say what it is not saying.
KJV says "the" covenant. That is a major difference. I don't know what version you referenced but do your research. Also, you started to address the sixty and two weeks and jumped to sixty nine weeks. I really wanted to see how you got to the crucification in sixty & two weeks.
WRONG--- all 6 points of Daniel 9:24 have been fulfilled--- his intro was great but he is wrong from the very beginning regarding the prophecy - amazing how 99% of preachers have the same view - few think independently - and from the comments below which show his view I will now cease to continue watching this false view....the starting date for the vision was 457 BC -69weeks forward takes you to 27 AD for the baptism of Christ - then his death in 31 and the 70 week prophecy ends in 34 Ad
David. I disagree with you that the last week of the 70 is years. The people of the Prince is the Roman army. The identity of the Prince which was made known to us in the same chapter is Jesus. When He died in the middle of the week he confirmed the covenant given to Abraham and Moses and their descendants, "the many" while also putting and end to animal sacrifice and temple worship at the same time. God sent the Romans to destroy the temple just as he had sent the Babylonians and the Persians to punish Israel. The 70th week was set apart and is for 7days not 7years. This old traditions of men about a future 7 years has deceived christians to believe we need to look for a European super man antichrist instead of getting the world ready for the final war where he comes to fight for Israel. Just like the days of Moses everyone is oblivious to the disaster that is about to overtake the world. The anti-christ is Islam.
26:00 You mentioned earlier about the beginning being so important to the passage yet you missed one verse that shows who the 'he' is. Da:9:3: And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplication, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: Da:9:4: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; When the 70th week followed the 69th week the Gospels were there to record what happened so we can match the items. When Jesus said, 'It is finished.' just before He died He was referencing all things to do with the bruise to the heel from Ge:3:15. The beginning of the 70th week was the day God called John the Baptist to start preaching. He was called because the prophecy about a witness being there and that the temple needed a valid High Priest and John was directly related to Moses so it doesn't get any higher. The cross was at mid-week and the cleansing of all Gentile food in Acts:10 would have closed the week and the part where the 12 Tribes alone were 'His people' as Gentiles were being preached to in that same chapter as soon as the food vision was over. The message was about the bruise to Satan's head and that was given to Jew and Gentile. Revelations covers the timeline for the bruise to Satan's head and it follows the same pattern that was set in the 70th week. It happens after 3 1/2 years of prophecy unfolds and the times given for the day of the cross will also be followed. The resurrection of the two witnesses at 12PM, all the vials poured out by 3PM and all resurrections completed by 6PM that same day to match when He dies and when He was in the tomb. The abomination that is associated with the Revelation timeline is a false throne standing on holy ground in Jerusalem and it is part of Da:11 as that is the chapter that covers the iron/clay from Da:2. Revelation puts a time of 42 months from when it starts at the 5th trump sounding and ends on the day the 7th trump sounds. The abominations in the 3 1/2 years after the cross included the money-changers returning, blood sacrifice continuing and Stephen was murdered so the traits that caused their exile to Neb's Babylon was not repaired. It will be repaired after the 7 vials have been poured out and the resurrections begin. The 1,000 years is a learning period for the ones gathered that day. The 70th week takes place in the Da:8 little horn verses (little ones in Zec:13 reference the Gentiles Peter saw in Acts:10 and the time of their judgment is when the 7 vials are poured out if you are looking for connections) Those few verses cover not only the 70th week but the rest of the time the NT covers (finished by 100AD) and past as the Bible is the truth they were given and when the 'improved it' by translating it into Latin they also corrupted the meaning and the availability to the flock. To take care of the problem of the return being long after Rome lost control Jerusalem Luke:21:24 introduced a period of time known as 'the time of the Gentiles' and that period of time allows for the Bible to be taken around the globe so every person has a chance of being a child of the light instead of a child of the darkness. The 1/3 that live through the 7 vials are children of the light and they have one thing in common. They have studied the end time prophecies in their entirety on their own (and talked about their findings) Re:11 picks it up when there is 42 months left and that starts when the 1st trump sounds, 4 days later the 5th trump sounds and that is 42 months in which 2 woes are completed. 3 1/2 later the 7th trump sounds and 'great tribulation' begins as it includes being killed yet remaining awake until the GWT while all others in the grave are asleep until that same event. One of the Churches is threatened with 'great tribulation' and judgment is when the 7th trump sounds. The 2nd group in Re:7 have been through 'great tribulation' and they appear to be as saved as the 1st group mentioned. The two witnesses also start their 1260 days on the day the 1st trump sounds and they die when the Beast from the Pit (5th trump) kills them and when they are resurrected a few days later the Beast is sent to the fiery lake as part of the 7 vials wrath of God. It is only in those same few days that the iron/clay kingdom has control of Jerusalem. The 144,000 watch events from the top of the mountain where Moses and Elias were seen in vision form. After the vials they will appear in bodily form along with the rest of the 12 Tribes.
Excellent, David. God bless you for the clarity and humility with which you teach God's Word! Loving these teachings.
If I were an unbeliever stranded on an island with just a bible and I read that bible everyday until I was rescued 25 years later I could know that Jesus is the messiah but would have no idea about a week being pushed into the future, a 7 year tribulation, an antichrist peace treaty, a third temple...because none of these are in the bible that I had read for 25 years.
God gave Isreal 70 sevens to do a list of things knowing that they wouldnt do it...Jesus's baptism confirmed a covenant and started a 7 year clock BUT when they killed the holy one the 70 sevens stopped, the curtain was torn and Jesus said "it is finished" (have you ever wondered what was finished?) Jesus spiritually destroyed the temple and about 37 years later God sent the Romans to physically make it desolate....Jesus was never plan B! The only future for Israel now is to repent, turn to God and have faith in Jesus. There are only two people in the world now...those whose names are written in the book of life and those whose names are not written in the book of life...I refuse to believe that, as a gentile, Im not an heir to the promises of Abraham...Im not a step-child...I was adopted and given a rightful place at the table...I was once far off but have been brought nigh. Thank you Jesus!!
Must have been a really short Bible - all these truths are,in fact, the Bible of 66 books!
MandMe, do you also believe Daniel 9:27 speaks of THE covenant given by Jesus? I own and very much like the Geneva Bible but I only just saw this today! It makes sense.
And he (a) 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 (b) cease, (c) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
(a) By the preaching of the Gospel he affirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles.
(b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection.
(c) Meaning that Jerusalem and the sanctuary would be utterly destroyed because of their rebellion against God, and their idolatry: or as some read, that the plague will be so great, that they will all be astonished at them.
Geneva & John Calvin notes
You're right Mandme 1991
The 'he' of Daniel 9:27 is Messiah as he is the one who removed the daily oblation and sacrifice by offering himself for sins.
We Gentile believers are engrafted in to Abraham.All the promises given to Abraham are ours. As a Gentile believer we are to witness to the Jews. They gave us Messiah and God's Holy Word. God is perfect in all His ways. Rejoice. I ask God to give you a supernatural love for the Jews. The devil is a liar. Listen only to our GOD AND HIS HOLY WORD. I hope this helps. My son died 40 years ago. When I was grieving my Heavenly Father spoke to me and said, "You and David are heirs and joint heirs with My Son Jesus." It broke all the grief in my life. As believers we are joint heirs with Jesus. I hope this helps.
Amen when the Roman Army destroyed Jerusalem and the temple that fulfilled the 70th week prophecy because the scriptures says desolations are determined and the prince of the people that is to come will destroy the city and the temple and that occurred in 70Ad
God bless 🙌 🙏
Super Scriptural teaching....very edifying & beneficial to us to have such in-depth instruction & wonderfully presented!!
May I suggest... By the context and grammar of the passage, the HE in v.27 is, must be, can only be the Messiah of verses 25-26. HE confirmed the covenant of Abraham with Israel beginning with the start of his formal ministry and that covenant continued with Israel until the events of Acts 7-10, the martyrdom of Stephen, the conversion, baptism and mission of Paul primarily to the gentiles, and the vision of unclean beasts to Peter that opened the delivery of the gospel covenant to the Gentiles with the baptism of Cornelius and his household.
The 70th week was divided in half by the atoning sacrifice of Christ, which ended the need for the Levitical sacrificial system of Israel. But Israel rejected the Messiah, he decreed their desolation (Matt 23:38) but they continued their now-abominable sacrifices, and within a generation (40 years) the people of a prince (Titus, who's father was Emperor Vespasien) besieged (another abomination) then desolated (totally annihilated) the city and the temple in 70AD not leaving one stone upon another fulfilling part of the Olivet prophecy given by Christ and recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. The Luke presentation tells you exactly what "the abomination...) is that the Christians were to see as a sign of the coming desolation. Please read all 3 recordings of the Olivet discourse ... and then WATCH as it says in Thessalonians, don't Calculate.
Wow!! Just starting up a small house fellowship and I was trying to explain this very concept-of the whole of the Bible telling the story of God’s plan of redemption from Genesis!! Thank you for this, we’ll be watching as a group in the next coming week!
And thank you also for clarifying about the Church walking into the days of Israel’s tribulation - I thought you were going to lose me for a moment, but you did not disappoint! 😅 🙏🙌📖💯👑🔥
There’s nowhere in scripture the mention of the “church age” - but there is “the times of the Gentiles” which continues until the end of Daniel’s 70th week - to the end of the last 1,260 days of great tribulation, as Lk21:24 confirms - and then after that is when the kingdom is restored to Israel. (Acts1:6-7 KJV)
I am enjoying your teaching so much. Thank you in Yeshua's Name.
The speaker asserts that the 'he' is anti-Christ. That is an assertion not found in scripture, in it contradicts the text. The antecedent to 'he' is found in verses 25 and 26 'Messiah'. The focus of this vision is Messiah, nothing to do with anti-Christ.
Nope. The context of the "he" in verse 27 is in the preceding verse of 26 which says *"the people of a leader who is coming will destroy the city and the holy place."* Christ certainly did not destroy the city and the holy place by the flood.
26 _“And the people of a leader who is coming will destroy the city and the holy place. And its end will be by the flood. And until the end there will be war; what is decided upon is desolations."_
27 _“And he will keep the covenant in force for the many for one week; and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease."_
@@ElectricEarth In Matthew chapter 23 Jesus Christ told the sanhedrin that their house was left unto them desolate because of their overspreading of abominations. The fact is that you're using a corrupted translation of the Bible. The 70th week of Daniel according to the King James points to Jesus Christ whereas all the other translations points to the antichrist. Somebody's translation is wrong. The problem with the gap theory between the 69th and 70th week is that the passage doesn't say nor does it imply that such a gigantic time gap is biblical. The 70 weeks prophecy covers a period of 490 years. If you insert a 2000+ years time gap in that 490 years you nullify the prophecy. The 70th and final week began when Christ was baptized in the Jordan River and the Holy Spirit anointed him.The middle of the week was when Christ was Crucified being the perfect sinless sacrifice and thus nullifying all of the animal sacrifices from that point forward. The second 3.5 years is Jesus continuing to confirm THE COVENANT with his Apostles through the Holy Spirit and it ended with the stoning of Stephen because from this point the Gospel began to be preached to the Gentiles. The epistle to the Hebrews bears record that Jesus Christ himself fulfilled the 70th week to the letter specifically Hebrews chapter 9.
Where people fail to understand is that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple occurred outside of the 490
Daniel 9:26
AFTER threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary, and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the was desolations are determined.
This is a verse of cause and effect.
Cause:The rejection and crucifixion of Messiah
Effect:Less than 40 years later Jerusalem and the Temple was destroyed by the 10th Roman Legion under the command of General Titus who just happened to be the son of the Roman Emperor Vespasian. The son of an Emperor or a king is a PRINCE!!
If Jesus Christ didn't fulfill every single word of the 70 weeks prophecy then he wasn't the Messiah. This guy makes the same mistake that many so-called Bible teachers make. They insert things into the text that it doesn't say. Nowhere in Daniel chapter 9 is the word Antichrist mentioned nor implied. The devil cannot make a covenant period.
He's just another futurist who adds to the word of God and he doesn't even realize that he's doing it.
@@ElectricEarth If your view breaks basic rules of grammar, then it is incorrect. The subject is Messiah the Prince all the way through.
@@owensterry29 “The devil cannot make a covenant????” Where do you find that in the scriptures? Who told you he can’t make a covenant? He told Jesus if He bowed down and worshipped him, then he would give Him all the kingdoms of the world. He made a promise to Jesus that he would give Him a blessing if Jesus would honor his word by bowing down to him and worship him. That sounds like a covenant or a contract to me. But of course Jesus rejected his offer so there was no covenant or contract between them. But the offer was presented. Just as God made a promise to Abraham, so too Satan made a promise to Jesus. God showed Abraham all the land and told him he would inherit it. Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and said it would be His.
This doctrine is a true teaching, from Suriname pastor Lodewijk Lee.
Blessings!
Awesome teaching! Thank you!
Thank you so much! You all are doing a great Job!
1st point: 490 means 490, not 2,490. God is very good at numbers and knows what he is talking about. You (and many others) apparently think that God got his sums wrong.
2nd point: Jerusalem began to become a city again with Ezra's commission, Nehemiah came along later and simply finished the rebuilding.
3rd ppint: the prophecy is all about Messiah and what HE would accomplish. Daniel's people (the Jews) cannot do any of the 6 things mentioned, only Christ can, and from the cross (at the end of the 70th week) he declared, "it is finished".
4th point: antichrist is not a person, it is a way of thinking. Read John's letters, in which he tells us that 'the spirit of antichrist' was within the church from the beginning, after Christ's ascension. Antichrist is not a person who, as popular thought believes, will come along before the end of the age. That kind of thinking is exactly what John is speaking about.
5th point: Jesus' prophecy concerning the desolation of Jerusalem, was fulfilled exactly 40 years after Daniel's 70th week, AD 66 - 73.
6th point: Jesus' baptism took place 40 years before the last Day of Atonement held at the Temple. Jesus was the scapegoat who took upon himself the sin of the world and was then led by 'a fit man' (the spirit, Lev 16:21) into the wilderness.
7th point: the 70 weeks prophecy was given by God to Gabriel, who gave it to Daniel. It was spoken from God's viewpoint, not man's. As far as He is concerned the prophecy was fulfilled by His Son (the Son of God, NOT God the Son) in AD 33, exactly when He said it would be.
Much appreciated. Thanks
amazing amazing insights
Daniel 9 never says "69 weeks to the Crucifixion", it says 69 weeks to Messiah the Prince.
Also, you cannot go via 483 years from Nehemia's decree (444 BC) to Jesus, this is several years to late. (The usual trick to manipulate the data, claiming prophetic years, is just that: a trick.)
Inserting the Antichrist into thus not only overlooks the importance of the wird "Covenant".
Also, the 490 years must be continous. Splitting it off via a gap lasting four times as long is not admissible. It would no longer be 490 but more like 2490 years.
What do you say here? The church is not here in the Tribulation. Read Rev 1:5.6 and Rev 4:4.10.11 and Rev 5:9.10.11.
WRONG..the church is here in the tribulation
Tribulation is not the same thing as God's wrath. It's that simple.
The great tribulation is part of the 70th week - not the whole of the 70th week. The great tribulation is not the time of God pouring out His wrath on the unrepentant wicked (the trumpet/bowl judgements). The great tribulation is cut short by the celesitial signs, the sign of the Son of Man coming on the clouds and the gathering (rapture) of the God's elect (the Church/Bride) from the world. THEN the wrath of God begins to be poured out throughout the end of the 70th week and ends with the antichirst and false prophet being cast alive into the lake of fire, and the dragon (Satan) being bound and cast into the abyss which is sealed for 1000 years. The millinial kingdom commences from that point.
Fantastic!!
Adam and Eve were not "perfect" the Bible says they were good, but untested. Only the Lord Jesus Christ is perfect!
This teacher is Dispensational, and not biblical. Daniel’s 70 years are continuous and not meant to be broken up.
Daniel’s prophecy is about Jesus Christ, not the anti Christ. The last 7 years are from Jesus’ baptism 27 AD to Stephan’s stoning in 34 AD.
Very unlikely. Not a salvation issue.
Is the New Covenant found in Daniel chapter 9?
Are we supposed to believe the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel to reveal the timeline of the Messiah who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and then the angel failed to even mention the New Covenant. Or, is the covenant with the many in Daniel 9:27 the same covenant with the many in Matthew 26:28? The 1599 Geneva Bible is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America, before John Darby showed up on our shores. What was the earlier understanding of Daniel 9:27 found below in the notes of the 1599 Geneva Bible?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dan 9:27 And he shal confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate.
Daniel 9:27
And he (a) 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 (b) cease, (c) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
(a) By the preaching of the Gospel he affirmed his promise, first to the Jews, and after to the Gentiles.
(b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection.
(c) Meaning that Jerusalem and the sanctuary would be utterly destroyed because of their rebellion against God, and their idolatry: or as some read, that the plague will be so great, that they will all be astonished at them.
------------------------------------------------
During recent years many New Covenant scholars have examined Daniel chapter 9 from a New Covenant perspective. Did Christ fulfill the summary found in Daniel 9:24? Is it about the New Covenant fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary?
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.
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (These two verses are quoted from Jeremiah 31:31-34.)
Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
The death of the Messiah is found in Daniel 9:26, and there are only two possible singular antecedents for the word “he” in the next verse. Those antecedents are either Christ or Titus, who was the prince of the people that destroyed the temple during 70 AD.
Dan 9:26 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.
Dan 9:27 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.
Is the “he” in Daniel 9:27 the “Messiah”, or “the prince” of the people that destroyed the city and the sanctuary in verse 26? If we used “the people of the prince” it would not be a singular “he”.
Does the author of the Book of Hebrews connect the New Covenant with the Messiah’s death found in Daniel 9:26, in the verse below?
Heb 9:15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. (NKJV)
Verse 26 also says the Messiah would be cut off “after” the 69 weeks. If I agree to paint your house “after” 69 weeks, it will not be painted until the 70th week, or after. Is there a “gap” of almost 2,000 years between the 69th week and the 70th week, or was it fulfilled during the first century when the Gospel was preached “first” to the Jews?
We know there is a time period when the Gospel was taken “first” to the Jews, as the Apostle Paul said in the verse below.
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
Can we find a time period of about seven years when the Gospel was taken “first” to Daniel’s people during the first century? If we can, we have good evidence that the 70th week of Daniel has already been fulfilled.
Did Christ command His disciples to take the Gospel only to Israel in the passage below?
Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 10:7 And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
Is the time period when the Gospel was preached “first” (Rom. 1:16) to the Jews in the passage above, confirmed in the passage below?
Act 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
Act 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
In the passage above Luke confirms the fact that the Gospel of Christ was preached throughout the land of Israel after the baptism which John preached. Here again, we have a text which reveals a time period when the Gospel was taken “first” to the Jews, as Paul said in Romans 1:16.
Bible scholars have looked at the number of Passover celebrations in the Gospels and have estimated Christ’s earthly ministry to have lasted about three and one half years. Was the Gospel taken “first” (Rom. 1:16) to the Jews for a period of about three and one half years during the period of time revealed in the Gospels?
In Galatians 1:14-18 Paul reveals he did not go up to see Peter until about 3 years after his conversion. During that time the Gospel continued to be taken almost exclusively to Daniel's people, before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles.
Read the recent book "The 70th Week of Daniel 9 DECODED" by David Wilcoxson for confirmation of the above.
Super! That preacher doesn't know what he is teaching He absolutely lost!
He started out great but then he lost me at 26:13 when referring to the messiah as the antichrist who would "confirm the covenant with many for a week." "The" covenant as opposed to "a" covenant. Clearly, this covenant is the new covenant (testament) ratified by the blood of Jesus. (see Luke 22:20). I actually did learn something watching this video, but the Bible says to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. Jesus is the messiah or anointed one Acts 10:38 "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Jesus was anointed at His Baptism when the HS in the form of a dove hovering over Him and the Father saying, "This is my beloved son, hear Him" Matt 3:17.
You misunderstood what he said at 26.13...he referred to the 'antichrist' -or false messiah- as 'he' who confirms a covenant for 7 years. This false messiah deceives many in the last days.
Daniel 9:27 (KJV) 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.
Who is the 'he' who makes it desolate?? Is it not the same 'he' who confirms the covenant with many for 7 years? And the same 'he' who stops the daily sacrifice?
And isn't it Jesus who is the one who CONSUMES the one who makes desolate???
The desolate is clearly the antichrist, whom God will destroy at his coming...all the 'he' in Daniel 9:27 is referring to the man of sin, the lawless one, thw antichrist.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-10 (KJV) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall ***consume*** with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Revelation 19:20 (KJV) And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
@@lluda44 This passage is difficult to translate. The KJV says that “he will make desolate,” while the NSAB and the ESV say that “shall come one who makes desolate.” The NSAB and ESV are the better translation and make clear that the “one who makes desolate” (the temple) is different from the one that makes the covenant.
I would understand the one who makes the covenant to be Jesus because he was the prince who was to come in v. 26. And then the “one” who makes desolate is some leader associated with the desolations of Jerusalem. The people of the prince (same anointed one, i.e. Jesus), is Israel who’s actions in killing Jesus, and later actions, bring about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70. This “one” seems to be associated with Israel and is some sort of false messiah.
The reason the KJV translates it as “he will make desolate” is because the view at the time was that this passage was about Jesus and that he made the temple desolate in the gospels when he said that “this house is left to you desolate.” And then the “consummation” or “end” was thought to refer to the second temple’s end in AD 70. This is what the translators of the KJV think this is about.
The NIV, like the KJV attempts to impose itself on the difficulties found in the translation. Only, unlike the KJV, which thinks the “he” of the covenant and the “he” who desolates the Temple is Jesus, the NIV makes it about Antichrist. The NIV interprets “on the wing of” to be the temple, and this is especially informed by 2 Thess 2. But both the KJV and NIV are poor “readings into” of the text.
The NSAB and ESV give the proper grammatical rendering without being influenced by preconceived notions. There is a “he” who makes a covenant, and then in relation to the abominations there comes “one who makes desolate.” The reason this is the better translation is that this “one who makes desolate” is all one verb which is a participle and so is very indefinite. It is simply saying “someone” (a masculine singular someone) will do this action. There is nothing that connects this person to the “he” in the prior sentence. “On the wing of abominations” puts temporal distance between these two persons. Now can one try and make them the same? Yes, and the KJV and NIV do this, but that is a matter of interpretation and not at all the best rendering of the translation. So take that for what it is worth.
Thanks
1. The entire prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 covers a period of “seventy weeks.” This period applies to one complete, sequential block of time. This prophecy would start during the Persian period and would end during the time of the Messiah.
2. Logic requires that the 70th week follow immediately after the 69th week. If it does not, then it cannot properly be called the 70th week!
3. It is illogical to insert a 2,000-year gap between the 69th and the 70th week. No hint of this gap is found in the prophecy itself. There is no gap between the first 7 weeks and the following 62 weeks. Why insert one between the 69th and the 70th week?
4. Daniel 9:27 says nothing about a seven-year period of tribulation, or about any Antichrist
5. The focus of this prophecy is the Messiah, not the Antichrist. Modern interpreters have applied “the people of the prince” who would come to “destroy the city and the sanctuary” (verse 26) to the Antichrist. Yet the text does not say this. In the past, that sentence has been applied to the Romans, who under Prince Titus did “destroy the city and the sanctuary” in'‘A.D. 70
6. “He shall confirm the covenant.” Jesus Christ came “to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.” Romans 15:8. Nowhere in the Bible is Antichrist ever said to make or confirm a covenant with anyone! The word “covenant” always applies to the Messiah, never to the Antichrist!
7. “He shall confirm the covenant with many.” Jesus said, “This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.” Matthew 26:28. Jesus used the same words, because He knew that He was fulfilling Daniel 9:27!
8. “In the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” The 70th week was from A.D. 27 to 34. After three and a half years of ministry, Christ died in A.D. 31, “in the midst [middle] of the week.” At the moment of His death, “the veil of the temple was rent [torn] in twain from the top to the bottom.” Matthew 27. The Great Sacrifice had been offered!
9. “For the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate.” Jesus plainly applied this “abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet” (Matthew 24:15) to the time when His followers were to flee from Jerusalem before the destruction of the second temple in A.D. 70. Jesus told His 12 disciples, “When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies [the Roman armies led by Prince Titus], then know that its desolation is near.” Luke 21:20, emphasis added. Those disciples did “see” those very events. Christ’s very last words to the Pharisees from inside the second temple were, “Behold, (Your house is left unto you desolate.” Matthew 23:38. Thus Daniel’s prophecy about Jerusalem becoming “desolate” was exactly fulfilled in A.D. 70! Jesus understood this perfectly.
10. Gabriel said that the 70'week prophecy specifically applied to the Jewish people (see Daniel 9:24). During the period of Christ’s public ministry of 3 1/2 years, the Master’s focus was largely upon “the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 10:6). After His resurrection and then for another 3 1/2 years, His disciples preached mostly to Jews (see Acts 1-6). After that second 3 1/2-year period, in 34 A.D., the bold Stephen was stoned by the Jewish Sanhedrin (see Acts 7). This infamous deed marked the then-ruling Jewish leaders’ final, official rejection of the gospel of our Savior. Then the gospel went to the Gentiles. In Acts 9, Saul became Paul, the “apostle to the Gentiles” (Romans 11:13). In Acts 10, God gave Peter a vision revealing it was now time to preach to the Gentiles(see Acts l0:1-28). Read also Acts (l3:46) Thus approximately 3 1/2 years after the crucifixion-and at the end of the 70-week prophecy given for the Jewish people-the gospel shifted to the Gentiles exactly as predicted in Bible prophecy.
It is very good explanation;and this preacher is absolutely ignorant in the knowledge of the Bible!
I think the greatest problem among theologians is to connect verse 27 from verse 26. Where is says HE SHALL CONFIRM COVENANT WITH MANY.......!!! This is where there is tragedy!! There are those who believe that the "HE" is Jesus and there are few who believe that it is the ANTI CHRIST. 🌋In solving this problem according to brother Rosenthal I see an imbalance of the prophetic mathematics!!! If the Antichrist will confirm covenant in the 70th week =Last 7 years =2520days!! And then in the mid of the week breech the covenant and cause the daily sacrifice to stop, that will be at the 1260th day!!! We are only remaining with another 1260days to make 7 years!!! 😨From this light, when will then the Israelite flee from Judea for 1260days??? When will the two witnesses prophesy for 1260days??? When will the TRUMPETS AND VIAL JUDGEMENT executed??? Am seeing no time left!!! Even the Locust torments for 5months will have no time to do their work!!! I think as believers we need to REVISIT the connection between the TWO personalities in DANIEL 9:26 with the 27th verse!!! It seems it is at this verse is where millions become RIGHT and millions become WRONG!!!
There is bother opinion which am about to take it on board, about the DUAL AND MULTIPLE FULFILLMENT OF PROPHESY, That the ruler who was to come and destroy the city is the Roman emperor in 70th AD. He destroyed the temple and cause days of trouble!!! But Jesus meant that the SHADOW of Daniel prophesy is going to happen again in the last end of times, and this will be 3RD AND GREATEST TRIBULATION that has ever happened, as this will not only be to Israel but to the Universal church!!! THATS MY OPINION, because in Daniel 8 there is another abomination and tribulation only restricted to Israelites during the time of ANTIOCHUS EPIPHINES......the God Manifest(a shadow of the past antichrist)

I saw this just today for the first time....per Geneva Bible notes and John Calvin commentary. That 9:27 speaks of THE covenant made by Jesus. The whole verse points to a Jesus. I really like the Geneva Bible. I own one.
In vs 26..... the prince who shall destroy the city is....... Titus, Vespasians's son, who would come and destroy both the temple, and the people, without any hope of recovery.
The WHAT will happen regarding tribulation, the AntiChrist and the taking up of the saints Christians generally agree on but Good Lord.......the HOW and WHEN has several scenarios that mix and match........ 🤦🏻♀️......I say just ....
Live For Jesus, BE READY and Have those lamps trimmed.
great!
I think one of the things that lends confusion to the interpretation of end-times events is the idea of the "Church Age". This idea is superimposed on the scriptures, but is not biblical itself.
The times of the gentiles does not refer to the church age. The church is neither the collective of gentile believers, nor is it separate from the assembly of righteous Jews. God did not pause his dealings with Israel over the last couple of millennia. The time of the gentiles refers to the Torah prescribed discipline that God would bring on the people of Israel in response to Israel's rebellion and refusal to humble themselves and obey God.
Now, this video didn't reference the scriptural allusion to the time of the gentiles, but that is one of the primary biblical references used to support the "Church Age" idea. While God, in His great wisdom, has used the dispersion of the Jews to all nations as a means of declaring the gospel even to the gentiles, it is not gentile acceptance of the gospel that defines the time of the gentiles. Instead, it is gentile control over and desecration of the land of Israel and Jerusalem that defines the time of the gentiles. Whether that desecration be from pagan Romans, Catholic or Orthodox Christians, or Muslim peoples, the fact that nations other than Israel have ruled that area is the key to the idea of the times of the gentiles. Even today, with Israel being a Jewish nation, the gentiles still dominate the landscape of political discourse.
I think that a couple of things need to be remembered in Christian discourse to help realign theological interpretation appropriately. Firstly, God is not in the process of reestablishing His rule in the earth. God is fully in control of what is happening in the earth, and everything that happens is within the parameters that He has set forth. Secondly, and related to the first, the Kingdom of God (aka the Kingdom of Heaven) refers to the Messianic rulership of Jesus from David's throne in Jerusalem. This Kingdom is not currently operating, and has not yet been established, but is certain to be given to Jesus and His people at the appropriate time in the very end.
Realigning these points helps us to avoid the false interpretation of a "Church Age", and it also helps us to realize that our goal as faithful followers of Jesus is as ambassadors, primarily declaring to the dispersed Jewish people that their Messiah has been identified, He has provided propitiation for their sins, and that it is time for them to repent so that they may be restored when He restores Israel. In the process of testifying to the Jewish people this news, the gentiles are also warned of the soon coming of God's wrath on the nations for there arrogant treatment of the Jewish people, as well as God's call to them to repent of their futile worship of created things rather than the Creator. This is not "spreading the Kingdom" as some would call it, but heralding the coming of that Kingdom. This also mitigates the tendency to think that the Gentile believers will be removed prior to God dealing with Israel once again. God has been dealing with the Jewish people as well as the Gentiles this whole time, in a quite extraordinary way!
So then, how do we account for the time gap between the 69th and 70th weeks. It is related to the fullness of Gentile sin, similar to the fullness of the sin of the Canaanites before God brought the Israelites into the land to conquer it. Just as the "passover lamb" was again provided for the people of God, but they largely rejected it, and therefore where sent to be sifted in the "wilderness of the nations", so also, this time has provided a time for the nations of the world to bring their sin to the full, as well as have the fullest opportunity to repent. This gap was prophesied through the feasts that God established. The gap between the firstfruits festivals and the full harvest festival testifies to this gap.
Thanks for your work!
it was a good good reading. Thank you for posting.
There is no time gap between the 69th and 70th week; they are consecutive and have expired. The 70th week began with the anointing or baptism of Jesus (around AD 27) and ended with the rejection of the gospel preached by the apostles in AD 34 and in the killing of steven and paul becoming a minister to the gentiles. Galatians 3:28-29 KJV. The Bible is so plain, why do we have to make it so complicated? If the 70th week is not consecutive to the 69th, then it cannot be the 70th Week Period. Stop making the Bible say what it is not saying.
great insight..
KJV says "the" covenant. That is a major difference. I don't know what version you referenced but do your research. Also, you started to address the sixty and two weeks and jumped to sixty nine weeks. I really wanted to see how you got to the crucification in sixty & two weeks.
WRONG--- all 6 points of Daniel 9:24 have been fulfilled--- his intro was great but he is wrong from the very beginning regarding the prophecy - amazing how 99% of preachers have the same view - few think independently - and from the comments below which show his view I will now cease to continue watching this false view....the starting date for the vision was 457 BC -69weeks forward takes you to 27 AD for the baptism of Christ - then his death in 31 and the 70 week prophecy ends in 34 Ad
David. I disagree with you that the last week of the 70 is years. The people of the Prince is the Roman army. The identity of the Prince which was made known to us in the same chapter is Jesus. When He died in the middle of the week he confirmed the covenant given to Abraham and Moses and their descendants, "the many" while also putting and end to animal sacrifice and temple worship at the same time. God sent the Romans to destroy the temple just as he had sent the Babylonians and the Persians to punish Israel. The 70th week was set apart and is for 7days not 7years. This old traditions of men about a future 7 years has deceived christians to believe we need to look for a European super man antichrist instead of getting the world ready for the final war where he comes to fight for Israel. Just like the days of Moses everyone is oblivious to the disaster that is about to overtake the world. The anti-christ is Islam.
Pre-Wrath is the same animal as pre-Trib, just with ots coat spray painted in a different colour.
26:00 You mentioned earlier about the beginning being so important to the passage yet you missed one verse that shows who the 'he' is.
Da:9:3:
And I set my face unto the Lord God,
to seek by prayer and supplication,
with fasting,
and sackcloth,
and ashes:
Da:9:4:
And I prayed unto the LORD my God,
and made my confession,
and said,
O Lord,
the great and dreadful God,
keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him,
and to them that keep his commandments;
When the 70th week followed the 69th week the Gospels were there to record what happened so we can match the items. When Jesus said, 'It is finished.' just before He died He was referencing all things to do with the bruise to the heel from Ge:3:15.
The beginning of the 70th week was the day God called John the Baptist to start preaching. He was called because the prophecy about a witness being there and that the temple needed a valid High Priest and John was directly related to Moses so it doesn't get any higher. The cross was at mid-week and the cleansing of all Gentile food in Acts:10 would have closed the week and the part where the 12 Tribes alone were 'His people' as Gentiles were being preached to in that same chapter as soon as the food vision was over. The message was about the bruise to Satan's head and that was given to Jew and Gentile.
Revelations covers the timeline for the bruise to Satan's head and it follows the same pattern that was set in the 70th week. It happens after 3 1/2 years of prophecy unfolds and the times given for the day of the cross will also be followed. The resurrection of the two witnesses at 12PM, all the vials poured out by 3PM and all resurrections completed by 6PM that same day to match when He dies and when He was in the tomb.
The abomination that is associated with the Revelation timeline is a false throne standing on holy ground in Jerusalem and it is part of Da:11 as that is the chapter that covers the iron/clay from Da:2. Revelation puts a time of 42 months from when it starts at the 5th trump sounding and ends on the day the 7th trump sounds. The abominations in the 3 1/2 years after the cross included the money-changers returning, blood sacrifice continuing and Stephen was murdered so the traits that caused their exile to Neb's Babylon was not repaired. It will be repaired after the 7 vials have been poured out and the resurrections begin. The 1,000 years is a learning period for the ones gathered that day.
The 70th week takes place in the Da:8 little horn verses (little ones in Zec:13 reference the Gentiles Peter saw in Acts:10 and the time of their judgment is when the 7 vials are poured out if you are looking for connections) Those few verses cover not only the 70th week but the rest of the time the NT covers (finished by 100AD) and past as the Bible is the truth they were given and when the 'improved it' by translating it into Latin they also corrupted the meaning and the availability to the flock.
To take care of the problem of the return being long after Rome lost control Jerusalem Luke:21:24 introduced a period of time known as 'the time of the Gentiles' and that period of time allows for the Bible to be taken around the globe so every person has a chance of being a child of the light instead of a child of the darkness. The 1/3 that live through the 7 vials are children of the light and they have one thing in common. They have studied the end time prophecies in their entirety on their own (and talked about their findings)
Re:11 picks it up when there is 42 months left and that starts when the 1st trump sounds, 4 days later the 5th trump sounds and that is 42 months in which 2 woes are completed. 3 1/2 later the 7th trump sounds and 'great tribulation' begins as it includes being killed yet remaining awake until the GWT while all others in the grave are asleep until that same event. One of the Churches is threatened with 'great tribulation' and judgment is when the 7th trump sounds. The 2nd group in Re:7 have been through 'great tribulation' and they appear to be as saved as the 1st group mentioned.
The two witnesses also start their 1260 days on the day the 1st trump sounds and they die when the Beast from the Pit (5th trump) kills them and when they are resurrected a few days later the Beast is sent to the fiery lake as part of the 7 vials wrath of God. It is only in those same few days that the iron/clay kingdom has control of Jerusalem. The 144,000 watch events from the top of the mountain where Moses and Elias were seen in vision form. After the vials they will appear in bodily form along with the rest of the 12 Tribes.
