@Paul Ng'ang'a you are exactly correct the 7 there is God's Divine completness, which the 70 also points to the 70 yrs > 70x7=490 yrs bringing in Everlasting Righteousness you pointed to a good reference scripture.
May The LORD bless all that you put your hands to... And may it all be for His Glory and Honor in Christ Jesus's Name The Lord Jesus Christ has delivered me from drug addiction, homelessness, abusive relationships, evil spirits (yes they're real) , sexual immorality, swearing, lying, stealing, laziness.. and even more.

Praise and thanks be to our God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for this teaching. Studying the book of Daniel in 2021. Thank you Mark and you and the family be blessed in Jesus's name!!!
Thank you very much, Mark. I have learned so much about bible prophesy and the Book of Daniel from watching your video series. Your ability to explain these profound revelations is truly awesome. I really look forward to seeing the next video. God bless you.
Really, really great teaching, glory be to God for your ministry. Keep up the good work in the Lord Jesus. May God continue to bless you, and always a part of this ministry In Jesus name. . Amen
This is so true, every time we are tempted by smthg, it is dark spirits who are trying to influence us. When we overcome temptation, the angels of God rejoice. This is spiritual warfare
Found your two Daniel a and b today after reading the book last night. Thank you so much for your wonderful style, steady pace and insight. Super awesome and sharing~
Watching in 2021 and I’m so blessed. The book of Daniel has always been one of those books I thought I’d never understand. I’m not even sure how I ended up on this channel but wow such a blessing. We thank God for you Mark. I can’t wait to go over the chapters again and see what the Holy Spirit reveals. God bless 🤍
I was very hesitant to take a chance on a random channel’s 30 minute long video when I was looking for a quick answer, but I’m SO glad I did. Subscribed and about to binge watch your channel! You have an excellent way of teaching.
Excellent and accurate interpretation of historical and prophetic events. The illustrations are very helpful and well done too. I can't wait for your next video.
This video is great! Thanks so much for making it! It is amazing that God made the time frame of the prophecy "pause" so that he could "fit in" 'The time of the Gentiles'.....Amen. God connected the branch of the Gentiles to the Jewish olive tree, so we can share in their blessings, by making us all spiritual 'Jews'. Amen to his holy name!!! :)
Thank you so much for this fantastic, life-changing bible study. I've made so many notes that I am completely sure I'll remember the most important details! Thank you for this video.
THANK YOU. I have been studying these 4 verses for weeks now, read many different interpretations of this and have found more confusion and people trying to fit their view into these scriptures. I started reading Sir Robert Anderson’s book you mentioned and have finally found the scholarly interpretation that makes perfect sense. I have been digging through a lot of his historical detail which supports his view which does get a bit long. BUT YOU HAVE made this very concise and understandable. Thank you so much for your work and ability to present this in a way that is easy to understand. Blessings on you!
Thank you for your comment. I’m glad to know the video and the interpretation shared there have been a blessing to you. My hope and intention is that in 2019 I can get back to doing videos in English again, specifically on the rest of the chapters in Daniel that I’ve not done videos on yet; those are chapters 10 through 12. I’ve been doing a lot of work for the past 3 or 4 years on foreign language versions of the prophecies of Daniel videos. But it will be good to get back to doing them in English again and to finish the series. God bless you, happy New Year.
WOW! This is very enlightening. Thank You Very Much. As a Christian, I am also trying to learn Hebrew and understand how the Old Testament was written and how I should interpret it. Thank you again, you have really brought me great insight. I am looking forward to your next lesson.
I found your lessons in a time when at church I've been feeling empty because the teachings nowadays are so light and people pleasing. The gospel, the word of GOD it's suppose to stir up our hearts making us uncomfortable and open for a change of course. Keep the good work and preparing yourself at the light of the HOLY SPIRIT, thanks for the vids.
I have been a believer and follower of Jesus Christ for 50 years. I have read the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation before and some of it made sense but most of it was hazy. Now, through your teachings and the teachings of others the prophesies are coming into focus. It is as if the scales are being lifted from the eyes of the believers to see clearly we are near the 70th week just as Daniel clearly saw he was at the end of the 70 years of captivity foretold by Jeremiah. I believe God is preparing us for the trials and tribulations of the last 7 years. Many Christians seem to believe we shall be raptured before it happens so they don't bother themselves to try to learn of the last week because they believe it doesn't apply to them. I don't know when the rapture will happen whether it is before or during the 7 years of tribulation but either way it is vitally important for us to know the truth. For God would not have given us the Books of Daniel and Revelation had he not wanted us to know. The time is near. Be prepared. Be faithful. God's love and mercy is real.
Based on Matthew 10:5-7, and Romans 1:16, and Galatians 1:14-18, the Gospel was taken "first" to the Jews for about 7 years before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles. This was the 70th week of Daniel during the first century. The following comes from the 1599 Geneva Bible, which is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America. 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. .
Wow...sungguh penelitian yang sangat mendalam, terpujilah Tuhan Yesus dengan segala Perbuatanya yang ajaib! Thank Mark... Anda semakin meneguhkan bahwa hanya Tuhan Abraham, ishak Yakub..Tuhan Israel yang Hidup ..satu satu nya Allah yang dapat dipercaya dan layak disembah!

Luke 3:15 just opened up to me that the students of Daniel 9 knew when Messiah the Prince would die and therefore within their generation he would be born. Wonderful truths. How accurate a book. Hillas Williams
Jesus Christ is a amazing god, He shocks us everyday with his accuracy .. before this time i was a believer .. It was total faith .. Its seems like now everywere i look is proof that every single word in the bible is fact .. I am so exciting .. We are so close to the return of Jesus Christ ..
Exactly sir... I studied Bible and that's what I understood. And the NABRE Bible translates it as "bridal week". And so, 7 years work, first marriage, One week or bridal week, then 2nd marriage and then 7 years of work for the 2nd wife who he loved and later 6 years for flock! Here is a verse from the Bible: These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times. Genesis 31:41 NRSV If he meant, 7 years by week then that would be 21years (7+7+7) in total without working for the flock. Because Bible says he married 2nd time after the bridal week and then worked 7 years for her 2nd wife. Which completely fits! (7+7+6) so, no year in between marrying the two wives. Only few days... So what he meant didn't make sense to me at all, year can't be meant by week here from what I understood...
@@MLeoM I'm just a beginner in Christian Apologetics, but I'm not sure why you're so bound up in what Moses stated in Genesis 29 : 27 vis-a-vis what Daniel said in his book, 9 : 24. The word is clearly שְׁבֻ֣עַ or transliterated to English as Shebua, and translates to "seven." These can be days or years, or a "heptad." I'm not sure how or why you're trying to equate the word to 20 some-odd days, (edit:) or in this case years.
@@robjohnston366 Rob Johnston well i don't think a verse from a book should be interpreted with the meaning of the words in other books. It *could* distort the meaning. I wasn't bound up, my mind is open, as long as I see it works. Well that was according to easy interpretation of the verses using the reading how it is meant to be read. Nothing else. And I also took cultural condition of that time into consideration... I am sorry I couldn't understand what you said, and still word for word is not what we should do. Words and their meaning change throughout the time (just like the meaning of the English word "let" it could mean something different). Even if it didn't change I think that was what was being said. Please note: I didn't read it in Hebrew, I read it in my own local language, and "year" was said and just like you said, it could mean days or weeks.
@@robjohnston366 also, I thought he couldn't wait to marry his loved one so the father would let him marry the other daughter, but only if he promised to work another seven years just like he did for one of his daughter. So he married first this time and fulfilled his promise next. Oh, wait, wait, I didn't say days. I was saying, *7 years* he marries one daughter, then he realizes he was tricked, and then he give *a week* for her and marries the other daughter of the man, then *7 years* then *6 years* for the flock. So 7 years + 7 days + 7 more years + another 6 years for the flock. If the word that is translated into English and other languages as years can mean week, and we have to replace it with weeks or days then why don't we replace all of the same word with the one we chose to replace with. Anyway it doesn't matter much for our salvation, we could hear it from the man himself! I mean Jacob. In Heaven. God bless.. Peace of Christ... Meanwhile stubborn online atheists are jumping here and there always.... Poor fellas don't know what grave trouble they are in.... Pray for the world brothers...
@@MLeoM As in Bible prophecy, there can be two meanings behind it. For instance, when Mr. McMillion -- Mr. M -- goes over the Abomination of Desolation, an earlier occurrence of the Abomination (the desecrating of the Temple) occurred during the Maccabean intertestamental period (the 400 years between Malachi's book and Jesus coming to tabernacle with us) when Antiochus Epiphanes sacrificed a pig on the Temple altar. But then the second occurrence will happen in the middle of the Tribulation when the Anti-Christ will desecrate the rebuilt Temple which will happen during the Tribulation, which is yet future, as seen in Daniel 9 : 27. The same can be applied here as far as the 70 years of captivity in which the Jewish people were held from when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Daniel along with his three friends were taken in the first deportation to Babylon as Mr. M states in 604 BC. The Jewish people were released from their captivity 70 years later and fulfilled Jeremiah's prophecy of the captivity being 70 years, but Daniel lived his last days in Babylon because he was too old to go back to the Beautiful Land as he calls Israel. The second part of the prophecy relating to the end times is the 70 שְׁבֻ֣עַ of years as explained by the angel Gabriel to Daniel -- they are years rather than days per Mr. M's example in Genesis 29:27. Therefore the 70 שְׁבֻ֣עַ Years = 70x7 = 490 years. These are the number of years the Jewish people have to get rid of sin and usher in eternal righteousness. Think of the 490 years as being a Jewish stopwatch. This clock only ran and will run when the Jewish people were and will be the center of the Almighty's plans on the world stage. 483 of the years have run off from Artasxerxes order to rebuild Jerusalem (not the Temple) given to Nehemiah to the exact time when Jesus when he rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday -- I believe -- in 32AD (Mr. M believes it was 33AD because he has the King's order to rebuild being 444 BC not 445. I disagree with Mr. M who says that 483 years of this stopwatch ran off from Artasxerxes proclamation to Jesus death for us on the Cross. I think it was when he revealed Himself as King by riding into Yerushalayim on a donkey, just as David did some 1,000+ years before Jesus. This fulfilled Zechariah 9:9 about a man being anointed king by riding a donkey. As Mr. M says in this video, there were 69 Jewish years of 360 days x 7 years in a week = 173,880 days that ran off the Jewish stopwatch. The miracle of this prophecy is that Jesus did ride into Jersualem right at 173,880 days after Artasxerxes gave the proclamation to Nehemiah to rebuild the city. Here's the math: 445 BC Proclamation by Artasxerxes 32 AD when Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King Add these two: 445 +32 AD - 1 year (subtract one year because there is no year 0) =476 solar years x 365.25 days/solar year = 173,859 days Compare this with 173,880 and you have a difference of 21 days. There are other adjustments -- Godly adjustments -- that will make the prophecy correct to the exact day because God knows everything. Then you have Jesus "being cutoff," meaning, He died a very violent death for us on the cross. Then about 36 years after Jesus returned to heaven, Titus the Roman general destroyed Jerusalem and burned down the Temple. The Romans were trying to collect all the gold from the Temple so they set fire to it. These two occurrences fulfilled Daniel 9 : 26. The Old Testament prophets including Daniel did not "see" the Age of Grace, also known as the Christian Dispensation or the Church Age. This is the variable time period which is now about 2,000 years in which Israel has not been in the world's spotlight. So the Jewish stopwatch has been stopped at 483 years of the 490 total in which the nation and the people of Israel are to get rid of sin and usher in eternal righteousness. The last seven years will be a time of Jacob's Trouble, when God will try the nation and the world to get rid of their sin. Jacob's Trouble is also known as the Tribulation, when the upheaval of the world will be nothing like it has ever seen. After these last seven years run its course, then Israel will cry out to God and Zechariah 12: 9-10 will be fulfilled -- God will pour out His Spirit on the people, and they will cry out to God to save them from their enemies, and Jesus will return to save them as fulfilled in Matthew 23:37-39. Then at the end of these last seven years, Christ will set up his Kingdom on earth known as the Millennial Age of 1,000 years. Hope this helps at least somewhat. God bless you too, keep witnessing for Jesus, because the end of the age is near. Christ Jesus come quickly!
And all the Glory belongs to God, Creator of heaven and earth, for giving us all the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His Holy Words. For all Christians out there, prepare for the time is at hand. The pandemic happens for a reason, that is for you to seek God's word and this is not an accident that you encounter this prophesy. While there is still time, let us share the gospel of salvation what Jesus Christ did on the cross. May the Holy Spirit guide you and lead you in keeping God's commandments. Amen to the Lord Almighty.
Brother Mark, Your teachings are of immense value and please refer to (Time: 22:45) where in you had quoted Luke 3:15 from The Living Bible and please let me what bible translation you are referring to, Whether it is New Living Translation-NLT or different. This particular wordings i cannot trace from any translation "This was the question of the hour and was being discussed everywhere. Sridhar Devadoss India
Hi and thanks for your question. I had to research this a little to find out about “The Living Bible” translation. I will copy in here some of the information I found. “The Living Bible is a personal paraphrase, not a translation, of the Bible in English by Kenneth N. Taylor and first published in 1971. Taylor used the American Standard Version of 1901 as his base text. From Wikipedia” “The original Living Bible is a paraphrase based on the American Standard Version of 1901, which is a very accurate translation. It is on the far end of the spectrum from, for example, the New American Standard Bible, which was translated as closely to what was written as possible.” As I said in the video, The Living Bible is not a version of the Bible I use except I think in this one place. I hope this is a help to you. I’m glad to know that you are benefiting from the videos. All the best to you, Mark
Spent best part of an hour listening to Dan 9. Most of what you said on this very complex chapter made a lot uf sense, notwithstanding, your take on “everlasting righteousness “ has me stumped 🤔 I myself always had understood for a long time that this “everlasting righteousness” spoken of was the sacrifice of Christ ( his being cut off) is what actually brought in this “everlasting righteousness “ ie., our only righteousness being ‘bought with a price’ by this one act of Jesus death on the cross--did it not bring in everlasting righteousness? And if not what else could bring it in ? I’m saying this righteousness is available to all who want it : it goes without saying we have no righteousness of our own. This is simply my take on the subject of everlasting righteousness. I could very well be wrong..and I’m remaining in a flexible mode on this whole theme. I really found your insights very clear and well thought out !
Awesome stuff. Its book of Revelation not Revelations, but I know what you are saying. This is so fascinating and exciting. The BLESSED HOPE. Christ is coming SOON for us, and man, that is going to be SO GREAT. Blessings on you all, stay on the narrow path, few find it, take that cross daily, be righteous, behave yourself, overcome sin, The Holy Spirit within can help you NOT sin. ...
Uh no, we've got two anointed ones. Do you have any idea why Daniel was crying? He was torn by Jeremiah's two prophesies. Jer. 29:10 and Jer 25:12 One was fulfilled, and one was not yet. Daniel was terrified. The angel Gabriel gave him the correct formula on the prophesy. The moshiach, the anointed one, referred to is Cyrus NOT "Jesus". The church conflates two periods of time for its calculations. The church rips the text to pieces. 490 years have been determined to wipe away iniquity. Christian bibles want you to believe Messiah means moshiach. Moshiach appears in Tanakh 38 times. (Mostly appears in Leviticus to describe the annointed priests) “to pour”, those people of leadership to perform g-d's work on earth, oil was poured on one’s head. Moshiach was anointed for a particular position. In the 21st century,, when we say Moshiach, we mean, the person who will come in the end of days. In the Hebrew scriptures, , Moshiach, In biblical times, any leader, any priest a moshiach, see how often mentioned Leviticus 5. In 36 places the church refers this to moshiach as annointed and ONLY in Daniel the church capitalizes a capital M and makes it appear like “The Messiah”. The church adds “THE” “M”essiah. Daniel does not add "Ha" meaning 'the' in Hebrew to Moshiach, Daniel 9 is all in Hebrew. Who is this anointed one of royalty? Cyrus (but he is a gentile), Read Isaiah 44:28 to 45:1. Whom says of Cyrus, he is my shepherd and a temple shall be built. Isaiah identifies Cyrus as coming the next year and he is the moshiach, a novi, anointed for the purpose of building Jerusalem. Ezra 1:1-3 Cyrus the king. "Jesus' was not prophesied anywhere in the Hebrew Scriptures. The priests where cut off, they need the temple which was destroyed. The only valid sources to rely on is the Tanakh, the Hebrew scriptures, nothing reliable about the "NT".
Interesting. It’s certainly a significant chapter but not very well known. Also it can be a little difficult to understand. I hope the video was a help to you. Thanks for your comment.
Reading carefully Daniel chapter 9 verse 26, we read the Messiah arrives. Then, "AFTER", threescore and two weeks shall the Messiah be cut off. So, it's clear that after means you are now in the 70th week. Jesus is cut off in the 70th week because, as it says, it's after the 69th week. This is how it's interpreted to continue the consecutive weeks of this prophecy correctly. Nowhere in that 70 week prophecy was it interrupted. Jesus did reconcile for iniquity with the new covenant he brought. He brought an end to sin by being a covering for us. That's the whole point behind his blood being shed for us. We don't have to wait for that. We have been reconciled to God, call that righteousness. Righteousness means having right standing with God himself. Jesus said in John, that his kingdom was not of this world. Because of the Jews disobedience, Jesus made his kingdom in a spiritual way. He destroyed the temple because we are now going to worship him in spirit and truth. Remember the Samaritan woman at the well? John 4:21 through 24. Jesus told her that soon, she would no longer worship in the Temple, she would worship in spirit and truth. The new Jerusalem is the kingdom of God that we are connected to,in spirit, as referred to in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 16. Continue reading down to verse 22. It's clear that this is a spiritual kingdom that he set up. That's why his temple dwells within us. Notice in Daniel 9:27, he says he confirms a covenant with many for one week. That's because they're in the last week, the 70th week. Reading and Jeremiah 31:31 we see that he forgives iniquity. He says I will remember their sin no more. Remembering it no more, is making us right standing with him, through Christ, in spirit. We are not sin free, but his own sacrifice makes us new through faith. We shall pass from life to life if we die in Christ. I enjoyed your teaching on Daniel chapter 9, and I'm excited about the fact that Jesus did what he said he was going to do, in the timeframe that he established, and it is truly amazing. God bless
Still not convinced about the beginning of this prophecy 444BC. Book of Ezra gives account of a number of decrees, which one are you referring to as given in 444BC?
Except God never did such a Time prophecy ever in the Bible ..the starting date is Ezra chapter 7 verse 9 it gives (you the exact day (the first day of the first month )...!goes from year to year to the ending date of the last day of the year 26,( on the Jewish calendar)! the next day is (Nissan one)! which is exactly what it says in the beginning of Ezra chapter 7 verse 9 established by God himself (in Exodus 12:2)!!! it's just that simple !!why that day ??it goes to Jesus birthday. He was Rabbi on his 30th birthday.
Excellent video Mark. Very well thought out and delivered. Just one comment...you had a footnote on the graphic at about the 19 minute mark that says you skipped from 1 BC to 1 AD, presumably to make the math work. Just wanted to point out that when you do the math, it comes to 32.06, which technically puts you in the year 33 AD or .06 of a year beyond 32 AD. No need to skip a year.
Thank you for explaining in simple words, but I have a question why the 69 weeks is broken as 7 and 62, what is the significance of first 7 weeks? What happened in those 49 years? Thanks
Hi Mark! Can you explain to me why a prophetic year needs to recalculated with the Gregorian calendar? I support the 444 bce date for the decree to rebuild Jerusalem but I have a question that I am struggling with. I have been studying Daniel on my own and I have been trying to understand the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. The two decree's are the one in 457 BCE and 444 BCE. I tend to feel the 444 decree is the correct one but I am confused why there is a need to add in leap years etc, if the years are prophetic years. I copied the following math from a website. Alva McClain, in his short but excellent book entitled “Daniel’s Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks” (p.25, 1969, Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.), explained the calculation of the date similar to this: First he determined, as we did and based upon Daniel’s guidelines, the actual number of days prophesied to occur between the command to restore Jerusalem until the very day that Messiah would come: (69 x 7 years) x (360 days/year) = 173,880 days (or 476 years, 140 days in the Gregorian calendar) He then looked forward in time to find the date that corresponded to 173,880 days into the future: From 445 BC to 32 AD = 476 years Note: this sum does not equal 477, because the year 1 BC is followed immediately by 1 AD, as there is no year zero; therefore, the equation to determine. Please let me know your thoughts on the above dating. Do you agree with this way of calculating the 483 years? It seems odd to me to have to play with prophetic years in this way by figuring it thru the Gregorian calendar. The 457 date is used by historicists and so they do not believe in the anti christ or the 7 year tribulation. Please provide me with any helpful info that you can. Your Brother Craig
It is somewhat complicated and there is a good amount of controversy about it. When I was doing the first video on Daniel 9, about “the first 69 weeks”, I found that one of the most respected books on the whole subject was written somewhere around 1900, by Sir Robert Anderson. I’ll provide the link to that book on Amazon. The controversy goes pretty far and there are various schools of thought. But I felt the interpretation in this book had the best research done on it and the ring of truth. I hope this helps, God bless you! www.amazon.com/Coming-Prince-Sir-Robert-Anderson/dp/1508528497

WE ARE CALLED TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND THE FAITH OF JESUS! Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
interesting topic, but i am really confused in some point about the year of rebuilding the temple and jerusalem. And i need answer for these for enlightenment. First in history, king Cyrus conquered babylon in 539 bc. It means to me that his first year of reign was 539 bc. In Ezra 1: 1 and on, it implies there that Cyrus made a decree to restore and build jerusalem in his first year of reign as king.Also written in Ezra 6: 3 it say's; In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits; Although the jews were still captive then until 536. Now, in Ezra 6:14-15 it say's, 14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. 15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king... It is clear to me that house of the Lord or the temple were completed in the "6th yr reign of Darius". Darius reign about 521-486bc. So it means that in the year 515 the temple was already finished and dedicated to God as the verses say's. Now, Artexerxes rule about 464-424 bc. If Artaxerxes issued the decree in 444bc that means the temple were not built yet until 398bc? if the temple took 46 yrs to build? its way to long for me. Because it appears that from 535 to 398 it's 137 yrs difference! way to much if there was no jewish temple yet in those period! It my understanding, it was the wall and the jerusalem community order with whom artaxerxes issued the decree but not the rebuilding of the temple. Because the temple were already standing and completed during the 6th year reign of Darius starting from 521 bc equal to 515 bc! And the rebuilding was not 46 years it's only 20 yrs from 535 bc. Please comment on this Mr. Marc Mcmillon thank you and God bless...
How can the first 69 weeks be consecutive and last week not be consecutive? Why is there a 2000 years separation between the 69th and 70th week this is incongruent. It's like I'm driving a 70 mile journey and when I get to mile 69 I'm being told to drive an additional 2000 plus miles in order to get to the 79th mile.
Because it's like an inheritance if you're my son .and I'm telling you you're going to inherit so much. and I give you 60% of it now. and I give you the last part when I die. that is how this prophecy is written in chronological order... it is not written to you in the first place )...it is written to Daniel his people an his City for all of time! they came back into the land May 14th 1948 ..as soon as (that agreement starts it's the last 7 years pertaining to the city!) It's not complete without the temple!
Here is how I see Daniel 9: Daniel has a vision which was told to him 3 times by Gabriel that it was for the end of time in chapter 8.. In chapter 9 Daniel was praying and Gabriel came again to make him understand the vision of the 70 years of desolations of Jerusalem. Gabriel told him: 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 (the return of Christ, the end of time). 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, (this is the retaking of Jerusalem during the 6 day war) unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks ( of years=49 years), and threescore and two weeks (weeks of days=62 weeks=1 year and 10 weeks): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times(this has been done since 1967 and is only place for Jews to pray because they cannot pray onthe mount). 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself (no more prayers at the wall when the city falls): and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (all Jewish and Christain houses of faith); 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 (the only covenant is Gods covenant with Jews and he will extend it for the 70th week): and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (the sacrifice for sins is the blood and body of Christ, the sacrifice, in communion in houses of faith), and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. This could be Gods timeline for the end which is given in detail in Chapter 11. Starts 1967 and covers a jubilee cycle, where the final week, 70th week, begins 4/6/2019, Nisan 1 and 10 weeks later Jerusalem falls, 6/15/2019. Time will tell, we are right around the corner to see if this is Gods timeline.
Mark McMillion I am teaching Daniel at church and have really valued your videos. I will be done with the book before then. Do you have any other resoreces you could link me to? Joshua josh@issacharchurch.com www.issacharchurch.com
It would be most helpful if you could specify the exact scripture as you go through. I find it difficult to make notes of the scriptures you're referencing.
10:12 Sir, with much respect, in Genesis 29:27 the week mentioned, I thought that was bridal week... Even NABRE states that... I thought that after marrying it's a tradition that a husband has to do by staying with his wife for a week... So Jacob married the one he loved after the bridal week and then worked 7 years for her. Just as he did for the elder daughter of Leban. So, 7+7, I thought you meant 7 years as the "week" which would suggest he worked for 7+7+7years=21years. But it is written: These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times. Genesis 31:41 NRSV So 20 years. 7+7+6. the last six for flock. First he married, after 7 years of working, then no week (meaning 7years) in between two wives but a normal week, or a few days. Then he married his 2nd wife and then the work for the second wife he married 7 years. Maybe I am wrong on this (that you meant 7 years by that "week"). Please sir, enlightenment me.. I am loving your video. Haven't finished it yet... I'll see where it goes...
@@MrsYoung-in9ov Yes, I'll have to take another look at it again and see again, because I didn't finish my thinking then. Then I can say what I understood, I currently hold no other understanding from the text other than what it says. Maybe it has gaps but I left it unfilled because I didn't know what I was filling the gaps with, those things may distort the message, but I'll have to check and see again later. Sorry, I don't know Hebrew, what does Shavuot mean? Was it the traditional bridal week that I was thinking about? I don't know haha... Thank you for letting me know your thoughts, these things have always been so interesting to me, even the fictional ones I think about even though I don't take them in a belief system. But there may always be possibility to know God more and better. So, thank you for letting me learn.
Mauro Leonardo Mondal Shavuot just means a set of seven, like how we have the word “dozen” for a set of 12. It also refers to a holiday “the feast of weeks” known to Christians today as Pentecost.
I totally agree because when peter asks Jesus how many times to forgive, he told him 70(7) figurative with 490years to make an end of sin.
Hi
Wow. Great point!✝️
basically never stop
@Paul Ng'ang'a you are exactly correct the 7 there is God's Divine completness, which the 70 also points to the 70 yrs > 70x7=490 yrs bringing in Everlasting Righteousness you pointed to a good reference scripture.
May The LORD bless all that you put your hands to... And may it all be for His Glory and Honor in Christ Jesus's Name
The Lord Jesus Christ has delivered me from drug addiction, homelessness, abusive relationships, evil spirits (yes they're real) , sexual immorality, swearing, lying, stealing, laziness.. and even more. I give all the glory to Him. All praise and worship belong to God. He is real. He is bigger than any problem you face. He will meet you where you are at. Even right now.
(Romans 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon The Name of The Lord shall be saved.
The LORD is still fighting my battles for me and He will for you also.
Keep strong in The Lord.
Jesus Christ is LORD to The Glory of God The Father.
I bless every reader of this comment in The Name of Jesus Christ
Praise and thanks be to our God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for this teaching. Studying the book of Daniel in 2021. Thank you Mark and you and the family be blessed in Jesus's name!!!
Thanks for your comment.
🤯 🤯 I can’t believe how this made so much sense 🤩🤩🤩!! And I’m studying this in 2020. The book of Daniel is amazing 😆😆
Thank you very much, Mark. I have learned so much about bible prophesy and the Book of Daniel from watching your video series. Your ability to explain these profound revelations is truly awesome. I really look forward to seeing the next video.
God bless you.
Thanks, glad to know they are a blessing.
This is one so powerful, very deep and yet broken down in a manner that anyone can understand. Thank you sir.God bless you.
Amen!!! It truly is.
Hi Mark thank you for such a wonderf study how can i get your bible lessons
This is the clearest explanation I've ever seen of Daniel 9. Thank you!
Really, really great teaching, glory be to God for your ministry. Keep up the good work in the Lord Jesus. May God continue to bless you, and always a part of this ministry In Jesus name. . Amen
This is so true, every time we are tempted by smthg, it is dark spirits who are trying to influence us. When we overcome temptation, the angels of God rejoice. This is spiritual warfare
Found your two Daniel a and b today after reading the book last night. Thank you so much for your wonderful style, steady pace and insight. Super awesome and sharing~
Watching in 2021 and I’m so blessed. The book of Daniel has always been one of those books I thought I’d never understand. I’m not even sure how I ended up on this channel but wow such a blessing. We thank God for you Mark. I can’t wait to go over the chapters again and see what the Holy Spirit reveals. God bless 🤍
Thanks for your comment.
I was very hesitant to take a chance on a random channel’s 30 minute long video when I was looking for a quick answer, but I’m SO glad I did. Subscribed and about to binge watch your channel! You have an excellent way of teaching.
Excellent and accurate interpretation of historical and prophetic events. The illustrations are very helpful and well done too. I can't wait for your next video.
This video is great! Thanks so much for making it! It is amazing that God made the time frame of the prophecy "pause" so that he could "fit in" 'The time of the Gentiles'.....Amen. God connected the branch of the Gentiles to the Jewish olive tree, so we can share in their blessings, by making us all spiritual 'Jews'. Amen to his holy name!!! :)
Thanks for your comment, glad to know the video was a blessing to you.
This is really good clear teaching. Even I get a better understanding of the subject. Thank you Mark
Thank you so much for this fantastic, life-changing bible study. I've made so many notes that I am completely sure I'll remember the most important details! Thank you for this video.
Thank you for your comment. I’m glad to know the video has been a blessing to you.
THANK YOU. I have been studying these 4 verses for weeks now, read many different interpretations of this and have found more confusion and people trying to fit their view into these scriptures. I started reading Sir Robert Anderson’s book you mentioned and have finally found the scholarly interpretation that makes perfect sense. I have been digging through a lot of his historical detail which supports his view which does get a bit long. BUT YOU HAVE made this very concise and understandable. Thank you so much for your work and ability to present this in a way that is easy to understand. Blessings on you!
Thank you for your comment. I’m glad to know the video and the interpretation shared there have been a blessing to you. My hope and intention is that in 2019 I can get back to doing videos in English again, specifically on the rest of the chapters in Daniel that I’ve not done videos on yet; those are chapters 10 through 12. I’ve been doing a lot of work for the past 3 or 4 years on foreign language versions of the prophecies of Daniel videos. But it will be good to get back to doing them in English again and to finish the series. God bless you, happy New Year.
WOW! This is very enlightening. Thank You Very Much. As a Christian, I am also trying to learn Hebrew and understand how the Old Testament was written and how I should interpret it. Thank you again, you have really brought me great insight. I am looking forward to your next lesson.
Amen. Happy Father' day . I love you Master. Your most beloved daughter.
Keep the good work up mark your videos are a blessing
I found your lessons in a time when at church I've been feeling empty because the teachings nowadays are so light and people pleasing. The gospel, the word of GOD it's suppose to stir up our hearts making us uncomfortable and open for a change of course. Keep the good work and preparing yourself at the light of the HOLY SPIRIT, thanks for the vids.
Thank you for the encouraging comment, very glad to know these classes are a blessing to you.
Unfortunately this is just apostate Roman futurism not real eschatology. Historicism is biblical eschatology.
I have been a believer and follower of Jesus Christ for 50 years. I have read the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation before and some of it made sense but most of it was hazy. Now, through your teachings and the teachings of others the prophesies are coming into focus. It is as if the scales are being lifted from the eyes of the believers to see clearly we are near the 70th week just as Daniel clearly saw he was at the end of the 70 years of captivity foretold by Jeremiah. I believe God is preparing us for the trials and tribulations of the last 7 years. Many Christians seem to believe we shall be raptured before it happens so they don't bother themselves to try to learn of the last week because they believe it doesn't apply to them. I don't know when the rapture will happen whether it is before or during the 7 years of tribulation but either way it is vitally important for us to know the truth. For God would not have given us the Books of Daniel and Revelation had he not wanted us to know. The time is near. Be prepared. Be faithful. God's love and mercy is real.
Thank you for your comments.
Thank you for explaining this prophecy was so more clear to me after I watch this video .
I found your teachings very informative and easily understood. You are a gifted teacher in Jesus name. All blessings in Jesus name.
Based on Matthew 10:5-7, and Romans 1:16, and Galatians 1:14-18, the Gospel was taken "first" to the Jews for about 7 years before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles. This was the 70th week of Daniel during the first century.
The following comes from the 1599 Geneva Bible, which is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America.
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.

So well explained sir.God bless you.
Luke 3:15 just opened up to me that the students of Daniel 9 knew when Messiah the Prince would die and therefore within their generation he would be born. Wonderful truths. How accurate a book. Hillas Williams
Jesus Christ is a amazing god, He shocks us everyday with his accuracy .. before this time i was a believer .. It was total faith .. Its seems like now everywere i look is proof that every single word in the bible is fact .. I am so exciting .. We are so close to the return of Jesus Christ ..
Very informative and excellent explanation thank you so much
I believe when leaving told Jacob to fulfill Leah's week, he was referring to the week of the wedding celebration.
Exactly sir... I studied Bible and that's what I understood. And the NABRE Bible translates it as "bridal week".
And so, 7 years work, first marriage,
One week or bridal week, then 2nd marriage and then 7 years of work for the 2nd wife who he loved and later 6 years for flock! Here is a verse from the Bible:
These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
Genesis 31:41 NRSV
If he meant, 7 years by week then that would be 21years (7+7+7) in total without working for the flock. Because Bible says he married 2nd time after the bridal week and then worked 7 years for her 2nd wife. Which completely fits! (7+7+6) so, no year in between marrying the two wives. Only few days...
So what he meant didn't make sense to me at all, year can't be meant by week here from what I understood...
@@MLeoM I'm just a beginner in Christian Apologetics, but I'm not sure why you're so bound up in what Moses stated in Genesis 29 : 27 vis-a-vis what Daniel said in his book, 9 : 24. The word is clearly שְׁבֻ֣עַ or transliterated to English as Shebua, and translates to "seven." These can be days or years, or a "heptad." I'm not sure how or why you're trying to equate the word to 20 some-odd days, (edit:) or in this case years.
@@robjohnston366 Rob Johnston well i don't think a verse from a book should be interpreted with the meaning of the words in other books. It *could* distort the meaning.
I wasn't bound up, my mind is open, as long as I see it works. Well that was according to easy interpretation of the verses using the reading how it is meant to be read. Nothing else. And I also took cultural condition of that time into consideration...
I am sorry I couldn't understand what you said, and still word for word is not what we should do. Words and their meaning change throughout the time (just like the meaning of the English word "let" it could mean something different). Even if it didn't change I think that was what was being said.
Please note: I didn't read it in Hebrew, I read it in my own local language, and "year" was said and just like you said, it could mean days or weeks.
@@robjohnston366 also, I thought he couldn't wait to marry his loved one so the father would let him marry the other daughter, but only if he promised to work another seven years just like he did for one of his daughter. So he married first this time and fulfilled his promise next.
Oh, wait, wait, I didn't say days.
I was saying,
*7 years* he marries one daughter, then he realizes he was tricked, and then he give *a week* for her and marries the other daughter of the man, then *7 years* then *6 years* for the flock.
So 7 years + 7 days + 7 more years + another 6 years for the flock.
If the word that is translated into English and other languages as years can mean week, and we have to replace it with weeks or days then why don't we replace all of the same word with the one we chose to replace with.
Anyway it doesn't matter much for our salvation, we could hear it from the man himself! I mean Jacob. In Heaven.
God bless.. Peace of Christ...
Meanwhile stubborn online atheists are jumping here and there always.... Poor fellas don't know what grave trouble they are in....
Pray for the world brothers...
@@MLeoM As in Bible prophecy, there can be two meanings behind it.
For instance, when Mr. McMillion -- Mr. M -- goes over the Abomination of Desolation, an earlier occurrence of the Abomination (the desecrating of the Temple) occurred during the Maccabean intertestamental period (the 400 years between Malachi's book and Jesus coming to tabernacle with us) when Antiochus Epiphanes sacrificed a pig on the Temple altar. But then the second occurrence will happen in the middle of the Tribulation when the Anti-Christ will desecrate the rebuilt Temple which will happen during the Tribulation, which is yet future, as seen in Daniel 9 : 27.
The same can be applied here as far as the 70 years of captivity in which the Jewish people were held from when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and the two southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Daniel along with his three friends were taken in the first deportation to Babylon as Mr. M states in 604 BC.
The Jewish people were released from their captivity 70 years later and fulfilled Jeremiah's prophecy of the captivity being 70 years, but Daniel lived his last days in Babylon because he was too old to go back to the Beautiful Land as he calls Israel.
The second part of the prophecy relating to the end times is the 70 שְׁבֻ֣עַ of years as explained by the angel Gabriel to Daniel -- they are years rather than days per Mr. M's example in Genesis 29:27. Therefore the 70 שְׁבֻ֣עַ Years = 70x7 = 490 years. These are the number of years the Jewish people have to get rid of sin and usher in eternal righteousness.
Think of the 490 years as being a Jewish stopwatch. This clock only ran and will run when the Jewish people were and will be the center of the Almighty's plans on the world stage.
483 of the years have run off from Artasxerxes order to rebuild Jerusalem (not the Temple) given to Nehemiah to the exact time when Jesus when he rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday -- I believe -- in 32AD (Mr. M believes it was 33AD because he has the King's order to rebuild being 444 BC not 445.
I disagree with Mr. M who says that 483 years of this stopwatch ran off from Artasxerxes proclamation to Jesus death for us on the Cross. I think it was when he revealed Himself as King by riding into Yerushalayim on a donkey, just as David did some 1,000+ years before Jesus. This fulfilled Zechariah 9:9 about a man being anointed king by riding a donkey.
As Mr. M says in this video, there were 69 Jewish years of 360 days x 7 years in a week = 173,880 days that ran off the Jewish stopwatch. The miracle of this prophecy is that Jesus did ride into Jersualem right at 173,880 days after Artasxerxes gave the proclamation to Nehemiah to rebuild the city. Here's the math:
445 BC Proclamation by Artasxerxes
32 AD when Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King
Add these two: 445 +32 AD - 1 year (subtract one year because there is no year 0)
=476 solar years x 365.25 days/solar year
= 173,859 days
Compare this with 173,880 and you have a difference of 21 days. There are other adjustments -- Godly adjustments -- that will make the prophecy correct to the exact day because God knows everything.
Then you have Jesus "being cutoff," meaning, He died a very violent death for us on the cross. Then about 36 years after Jesus returned to heaven, Titus the Roman general destroyed Jerusalem and burned down the Temple. The Romans were trying to collect all the gold from the Temple so they set fire to it. These two occurrences fulfilled Daniel 9 : 26.
The Old Testament prophets including Daniel did not "see" the Age of Grace, also known as the Christian Dispensation or the Church Age. This is the variable time period which is now about 2,000 years in which Israel has not been in the world's spotlight. So the Jewish stopwatch has been stopped at 483 years of the 490 total in which the nation and the people of Israel are to get rid of sin and usher in eternal righteousness.
The last seven years will be a time of Jacob's Trouble, when God will try the nation and the world to get rid of their sin. Jacob's Trouble is also known as the Tribulation, when the upheaval of the world will be nothing like it has ever seen.
After these last seven years run its course, then Israel will cry out to God and Zechariah 12: 9-10 will be fulfilled -- God will pour out His Spirit on the people, and they will cry out to God to save them from their enemies, and Jesus will return to save them as fulfilled in Matthew 23:37-39.
Then at the end of these last seven years, Christ will set up his Kingdom on earth known as the Millennial Age of 1,000 years.
Hope this helps at least somewhat. God bless you too, keep witnessing for Jesus, because the end of the age is near. Christ Jesus come quickly!
And all the Glory belongs to God, Creator of heaven and earth, for giving us all the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of His Holy Words.
For all Christians out there, prepare for the time is at hand.
The pandemic happens for a reason, that is for you to seek God's word and this is not an accident that you encounter this prophesy.
While there is still time, let us share the gospel of salvation what Jesus Christ did on the cross.
May the Holy Spirit guide you and lead you in keeping God's commandments. Amen to the Lord Almighty.
good explanation of this Biblical prophecy. God bless you brother.

Brother Mark, Your teachings are of immense value and please refer to (Time: 22:45) where in you had quoted Luke 3:15 from The Living Bible and please let me what bible translation you are referring to, Whether it is New Living Translation-NLT or different. This particular wordings i cannot trace from any translation "This was the question of the hour and was being discussed everywhere.

Hi and thanks for your question. I had to research this a little to find out about “The Living Bible” translation. I will copy in here some of the information I found. “The Living Bible is a personal paraphrase, not a translation, of the Bible in English by Kenneth N. Taylor and first published in 1971. Taylor used the American Standard Version of 1901 as his base text. From Wikipedia”
“The original Living Bible is a paraphrase based on the American Standard Version of 1901, which is a very accurate translation. It is on the far end of the spectrum from, for example, the New American Standard Bible, which was translated as closely to what was written as possible.”
As I said in the video, The Living Bible is not a version of the Bible I use except I think in this one place. I hope this is a help to you. I’m glad to know that you are benefiting from the videos. All the best to you, Mark
Spent best part of an hour listening to Dan 9. Most of what you said on this very complex chapter made a lot uf sense, notwithstanding, your take on “everlasting righteousness “ has me stumped 🤔 I myself always had understood for a long time that this “everlasting righteousness” spoken of was the sacrifice of Christ ( his being cut off) is what actually brought in this “everlasting righteousness “ ie., our only righteousness being ‘bought with a price’ by this one act of Jesus death on the cross--did it not bring in everlasting righteousness? And if not what else could bring it in ?
I’m saying this righteousness is available to all who want it : it goes without saying we have no righteousness of our own. This is simply my take on the subject of everlasting righteousness.
I could very well be wrong..and I’m remaining in a flexible mode on this whole theme.
I really found your insights very clear and well thought out !
Awesome stuff. Its book of Revelation not Revelations, but I know what you are saying. This is so fascinating and exciting. The BLESSED HOPE. Christ is coming SOON for us, and man, that is going to be SO GREAT. Blessings on you all, stay on the narrow path, few find it, take that cross daily, be righteous, behave yourself, overcome sin, The Holy Spirit within can help you NOT sin. ...
Note! This is the first man I have ever heard who has got the 70 weeks of Daniel right. AMEN!
Uh no, we've got two anointed ones. Do you have any idea why Daniel was crying? He was torn by Jeremiah's two prophesies. Jer. 29:10 and Jer 25:12 One was fulfilled, and one was not yet. Daniel was terrified. The angel Gabriel gave him the correct formula on the prophesy. The moshiach, the anointed one, referred to is Cyrus NOT "Jesus". The church conflates two periods of time for its calculations.
The church rips the text to pieces. 490 years have been determined to wipe away iniquity. Christian bibles want you to believe Messiah means moshiach. Moshiach appears in Tanakh 38 times. (Mostly appears in Leviticus to describe the annointed priests) “to pour”, those people of leadership to perform g-d's work on earth, oil was poured on one’s head. Moshiach was anointed for a particular position. In the 21st century,, when we say Moshiach, we mean, the person who will come in the end of days. In the Hebrew scriptures, , Moshiach, In biblical times, any leader, any priest a moshiach, see how often mentioned Leviticus 5.
In 36 places the church refers this to moshiach as annointed and ONLY in Daniel the church capitalizes a capital M and makes it appear like “The Messiah”. The church adds “THE” “M”essiah. Daniel does not add "Ha" meaning 'the' in Hebrew to Moshiach, Daniel 9 is all in Hebrew.
Who is this anointed one of royalty? Cyrus (but he is a gentile), Read Isaiah 44:28 to 45:1. Whom says of Cyrus, he is my shepherd and a temple shall be built. Isaiah identifies Cyrus as coming the next year and he is the moshiach, a novi, anointed for the purpose of building Jerusalem. Ezra 1:1-3 Cyrus the king.
"Jesus' was not prophesied anywhere in the Hebrew Scriptures. The priests where cut off, they need the temple which was destroyed.
The only valid sources to rely on is the Tanakh, the Hebrew scriptures, nothing reliable about the "NT".
You have the spirit of the antichrist

Would you tell me what is the into song
Reading carefully Daniel chapter 9 verse 26, we read the Messiah arrives. Then, "AFTER", threescore and two weeks shall the Messiah be cut off. So, it's clear that after means you are now in the 70th week. Jesus is cut off in the 70th week because, as it says, it's after the 69th week. This is how it's interpreted to continue the consecutive weeks of this prophecy correctly. Nowhere in that 70 week prophecy was it interrupted. Jesus did reconcile for iniquity with the new covenant he brought. He brought an end to sin by being a covering for us. That's the whole point behind his blood being shed for us. We don't have to wait for that. We have been reconciled to God, call that righteousness. Righteousness means having right standing with God himself. Jesus said in John, that his kingdom was not of this world. Because of the Jews disobedience, Jesus made his kingdom in a spiritual way. He destroyed the temple because we are now going to worship him in spirit and truth. Remember the Samaritan woman at the well? John 4:21 through 24. Jesus told her that soon, she would no longer worship in the Temple, she would worship in spirit and truth. The new Jerusalem is the kingdom of God that we are connected to,in spirit, as referred to in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 16. Continue reading down to verse 22. It's clear that this is a spiritual kingdom that he set up. That's why his temple dwells within us. Notice in Daniel 9:27, he says he confirms a covenant with many for one week. That's because they're in the last week, the 70th week. Reading and Jeremiah 31:31 we see that he forgives iniquity. He says I will remember their sin no more. Remembering it no more, is making us right standing with him, through Christ, in spirit. We are not sin free, but his own sacrifice makes us new through faith. We shall pass from life to life if we die in Christ. I enjoyed your teaching on Daniel chapter 9, and I'm excited about the fact that Jesus did what he said he was going to do, in the timeframe that he established, and it is truly amazing. God bless
The key to Daniel 9 is Leviticus 25! Everyone it seems forgets the years of Jubilee thus making the total 493!
The Truth is History is HIS-- STORY, or as some would say HIS LOVE LETTER to the world, thank you friend
Still not convinced about the beginning of this prophecy 444BC.
Book of Ezra gives account of a number of decrees, which one are you referring to as given in 444BC?
The correct date is 455 BCE not 444 BCE
Ronald Johnson.
Why 455 BCE?
Except God never did such a Time prophecy ever in the Bible ..the starting date is Ezra chapter 7 verse 9 it gives (you the exact day (the first day of the first month )...!goes from year to year to the ending date of the last day of the year 26,( on the Jewish calendar)! the next day is (Nissan one)! which is exactly what it says in the beginning of Ezra chapter 7 verse 9 established by God himself (in Exodus 12:2)!!! it's just that simple !!why that day ??it goes to Jesus birthday. He was Rabbi on his 30th birthday.
Halfway through the last seven years the is 39 or 40 AD. Did anything happen in that year to the temple?
Excellent video Mark. Very well thought out and delivered. Just one comment...you had a footnote on the graphic at about the 19 minute mark that says you skipped from 1 BC to 1 AD, presumably to make the math work. Just wanted to point out that when you do the math, it comes to 32.06, which technically puts you in the year 33 AD or .06 of a year beyond 32 AD. No need to skip a year.
What’s the song in the beginning?
Thank you for explaining in simple words, but I have a question why the 69 weeks is broken as 7 and 62, what is the significance of first 7 weeks? What happened in those 49 years?
Thanks
Hi Mark! Can you explain to me why a prophetic year needs to recalculated with the Gregorian calendar? I support the 444 bce date for the decree to rebuild Jerusalem but I have a question that I am struggling with. I have been studying Daniel on my own and I have been trying to understand the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. The two decree's are the one in 457 BCE and 444 BCE. I tend to feel the 444 decree is the correct one but I am confused why there is a need to add in leap years etc, if the years are prophetic years. I copied the following math from a website.
Alva McClain, in his short but excellent book entitled “Daniel’s Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks” (p.25, 1969, Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.), explained the calculation of the date similar to this:
First he determined, as we did and based upon Daniel’s guidelines, the actual number of days prophesied to occur between the command to restore Jerusalem until the very day that Messiah would come:
(69 x 7 years) x (360 days/year) = 173,880 days (or 476 years, 140 days in the Gregorian calendar)
He then looked forward in time to find the date that corresponded to 173,880 days into the future:
From 445 BC to 32 AD = 476 years
Note: this sum does not equal 477, because the year 1 BC is followed immediately by 1 AD, as there is no year zero; therefore, the equation to determine.
Please let me know your thoughts on the above dating. Do you agree with this way of calculating the 483 years? It seems odd to me to have to play with prophetic years in this way by figuring it thru the Gregorian calendar. The 457 date is used by historicists and so they do not believe in the anti christ or the 7 year tribulation. Please provide me with any helpful info that you can.
Your Brother

It is somewhat complicated and there is a good amount of controversy about it. When I was doing the first video on Daniel 9, about “the first 69 weeks”, I found that one of the most respected books on the whole subject was written somewhere around 1900, by Sir Robert Anderson. I’ll provide the link to that book on Amazon. The controversy goes pretty far and there are various schools of thought. But I felt the interpretation in this book had the best research done on it and the ring of truth. I hope this helps, God bless you!

@@treasureseekers4237why are you speaking of a( zero between A.D .and B.C.)? B.C .One is 3760 on the Jewish calendar.. a.d.1 is 3761.. what's the zero got to do with anything ? the ending date of the 69th week is established by Ezra chapter 7 verse 9( the first day of the first month).. which is established by God himself Exodus 12:2). New Year's Day for the Jews. to establish Passover.. you go exactly 483 years from that date to the ending date. Nissan one to Nissan one on the Jewish calendar ..you're not subtracting anything or adding anything..( on to the subject ).it stays exactly a year whatever a Jewish year is .. the ending date.which is the last day of the year 26.. the next day is Nissan one..( the first day of the first month ) ...on the Roman Calendar that is March the 28th on a Friday ...why there ? The next day is (Nissan one) on a Sabbath. I know why it's there.. it's got nothing to do with where people try to put it.. you need to understand when Jesus was born.. and most people don't ..there's information now that we have.. that we did not have when this was written.. this goes to Jesus ( birthday) when he was an official rabbi according to Jewish law .if you respond I'll show you where to find it!

You all may enjoy Heather R"s channel.If nothing else Heather's ability to dig is impressive.
interesting topic, but i am really confused in some point about the year of rebuilding the temple and jerusalem. And i need answer for these for enlightenment. First in history, king Cyrus conquered babylon in 539 bc. It means to me that his first year of reign was 539 bc. In Ezra 1: 1 and on, it implies there that Cyrus made a decree to restore and build jerusalem in his first year of reign as king.Also written in Ezra 6: 3 it say's; In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits; Although the jews were still captive then until 536. Now, in Ezra 6:14-15 it say's, 14 And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king... It is clear to me that house of the Lord or the temple were completed in the "6th yr reign of Darius". Darius reign about 521-486bc. So it means that in the year 515 the temple was already finished and dedicated to God as the verses say's. Now, Artexerxes rule about 464-424 bc. If Artaxerxes issued the decree in 444bc that means the temple were not built yet until 398bc? if the temple took 46 yrs to build? its way to long for me. Because it appears that from 535 to 398 it's 137 yrs difference! way to much if there was no jewish temple yet in those period! It my understanding, it was the wall and the jerusalem community order with whom artaxerxes issued the decree but not the rebuilding of the temple. Because the temple were already standing and completed during the 6th year reign of Darius starting from 521 bc equal to 515 bc! And the rebuilding was not 46 years it's only 20 yrs from 535 bc. Please comment on this Mr. Marc Mcmillon thank you and God bless...
I love to study the book of Daniel alone with the book of Revelation it is most important which all people have to understand.
Please Indonesian language.. thank you very much..GOD BLESS YOU..
How can the first 69 weeks be consecutive and last week not be consecutive? Why is there a 2000 years separation between the 69th and 70th week this is incongruent.
It's like I'm driving a 70 mile journey and when I get to mile 69 I'm being told to drive an additional 2000 plus miles in order to get to the 79th mile.
Because it's like an inheritance if you're my son .and I'm telling you you're going to inherit so much. and I give you 60% of it now. and I give you the last part when I die. that is how this prophecy is written in chronological order... it is not written to you in the first place )...it is written to Daniel his people an his City for all of time! they came back into the land May 14th 1948 ..as soon as (that agreement starts it's the last 7 years pertaining to the city!) It's not complete without the temple!
@@MaryMartinez-lm5tv That's the biggest nonsense I have ever heard
What I noticed is that most of the old testament and the things that happened then are also showing us the things that are going to happen in the end.
Certainly with the prophecies of Daniel there is much there that is yet to be fulfilled in the times leading up to the coming of Jesus.
Here is how I see Daniel 9:
Daniel has a vision which was told to him 3 times by Gabriel that it was for the end of time in chapter 8.. In chapter 9 Daniel was praying and Gabriel came again to make him understand the vision of the 70 years of desolations of Jerusalem.
Gabriel told him:
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 (the return of Christ, the end of time).
25
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem, (this is the retaking of Jerusalem during the 6 day war) unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks ( of years=49 years), and threescore and two weeks (weeks of days=62 weeks=1 year and 10 weeks): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times(this has been done since 1967 and is only place for Jews to pray because they cannot pray onthe mount).
26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself (no more prayers at the wall when the city falls): and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (all Jewish and Christain houses of faith); 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 (the only covenant is Gods covenant with Jews and he will extend it for the 70th week): and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (the sacrifice for sins is the blood and body of Christ, the sacrifice, in communion in houses of faith), and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
This could be Gods timeline for the end which is given in detail in Chapter 11. Starts 1967 and covers a jubilee cycle, where the final week, 70th week, begins 4/6/2019, Nisan 1 and 10 weeks later Jerusalem falls, 6/15/2019.
Time will tell, we are right around the corner to see if this is Gods timeline.

@@markmcmillion1I'm still waiting on you to get Daniel 7 correct
It would be most helpful if you could specify the exact scripture as you go through. I find it difficult to make notes of the scriptures you're referencing.
Gbu you too Brother
10:12 Sir, with much respect, in Genesis 29:27 the week mentioned, I thought that was bridal week... Even NABRE states that...
I thought that after marrying it's a tradition that a husband has to do by staying with his wife for a week...
So Jacob married the one he loved after the bridal week and then worked 7 years for her. Just as he did for the elder daughter of Leban. So, 7+7, I thought you meant 7 years as the "week" which would suggest he worked for 7+7+7years=21years.
But it is written:
These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
Genesis 31:41 NRSV
So 20 years. 7+7+6. the last six for flock. First he married, after 7 years of working, then no week (meaning 7years) in between two wives but a normal week, or a few days. Then he married his 2nd wife and then the work for the second wife he married 7 years.
Maybe I am wrong on this (that you meant 7 years by that "week"). Please sir, enlightenment me.. I am loving your video. Haven't finished it yet... I'll see where it goes...
I thought the same thing. In agreement about the meaning of Shavuot but not in that example.
@@MrsYoung-in9ov Yes, I'll have to take another look at it again and see again, because I didn't finish my thinking then. Then I can say what I understood, I currently hold no other understanding from the text other than what it says. Maybe it has gaps but I left it unfilled because I didn't know what I was filling the gaps with, those things may distort the message, but I'll have to check and see again later.
Sorry, I don't know Hebrew, what does Shavuot mean?
Was it the traditional bridal week that I was thinking about? I don't know haha...
Thank you for letting me know your thoughts, these things have always been so interesting to me, even the fictional ones I think about even though I don't take them in a belief system. But there may always be possibility to know God more and better. So, thank you for letting me learn.
Mauro Leonardo Mondal Shavuot just means a set of seven, like how we have the word “dozen” for a set of 12. It also refers to a holiday “the feast of weeks” known to Christians today as Pentecost.
