John MacArthur - Daniel 9 (interpreting Bible prophecy literally)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 кві 2011
- Let's go to Daniel 9 and let's look at the 70 weeks of Daniel. Of course a very important prophecy, Daniel 9:24. Now put on your thinking caps. Verse 24 says this, and here incidentally friends two marvelous things. We could just spend weeks on this prophecy alone, but two things I want you to note. This prophecy is a classic prophecy and one that everybody ought to understand because it defends the literal interpretation of prophecy. It's a great support for a literal view. You know there always people who want to explain all the prophecies away sort of mephorically or figuratively, but this is very literal. Secondly it's important because it's the chronology of the history of Israel. Verse 24, "Seventy weeks," now that's clear, "are determined upon thy people," who would that be? Israel and that's Daniel's people, "upon thy holy city." What would that be? Jerusalem. "to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness," what would that be? That would be the kingdom, wouldn't it? Sure. Now watch, "to seal up the vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy," who would that be? Crowning the Messiah. Now watch, he says seventy weeks of history are determined upon Israel until everything ends and the kingdom comes with Messiah reigning. That's what the verse says. It's got to be a final thing because everything is a final. Finish the transgression, make and end of sins, seal up the vision and prophecy, bring in everlasting righteousness, anoint the most holy. Boy that's final stuff isn't it? The end, the finish, the seal, seal it up, close it off, that's the way it is. All right now.
Seventy weeks are determined in the history of Israel until the kingdom begins. That's an important prophecy, folks. That's very important. You say well spread it out a little bit so I can get it. All right, I will. Listen. The seventy weeks are weeks of years. The term weeks literally means just a regular week, but is used from time to time in the Hebrew to refer to periods of seven, and here it obviously it refers to periods of seven years. Now watch. Seventy times seven years, rather than seven days would be one week, it's a week of years. So, seventy times seven is 490 years are determined upon Israel's history. You say you mean it says there it's going to be 490 years of Israel's history? If we could find out when it began we'd know when the kingdom was going to come. Exactly. That kind of gets exciting.
Now biblical years are years of 360 days, not 365 but 360. We know this by comparing three different passages in the book of Genesis. And as we compare them and the annotations that are given we find out that the Old Testament calendar counting was based on a 360-day year. And you're saying to yourself well tell us when it began so we know when it ends. All right. Verse 25 tells you. "No therefore," I don't want you to be ignorant, "and understand it begins from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem." That's when it began. You say do we know when that was? Absolutely, that date is set in history. The date? March 14, 445 B.C. Artaxerxes gave the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. That date is a known date. And I'll tell you something fascinating. You start on March 14, 445 B.C. now let's look at verse 25 and it says, "From the going forth of that commandment unto the Messiah, the prince, this is the Messiah as he's presented as prince and king, "shall be seven weeks and three score and two weeks, which adds up to how many? 69. Now watch. So you've still got an extra seven years hanging on, right? All right. From the decree of Artaxerxes to Messiah, the Prince, will be what amounts to 483 years. You subtract 7 from 490 because there's one week left out, 69 weeks.
You want to hear something thrilling? Sir Robert Anderson took the number of days involved started on March 14th445 B.C. and added exactly the amount of days and came to the date April 6, 32 A.D. And according to Sir Robert Anderson, who had done almost all of the historical work in this, that is the very day Jesus rode into Jerusalem and announced Himself as king. You say what's the significance of that. The significance of it number one is God is right on the dime. Number two it supports the fact that prophecy is to be taken literally. You see what I'm saying. That is a literal prophecy. When people come to the Bible and want to mush up all the prophecy into figures they are violating a principle that Daniel will adhere to, a literal interpretation. Now that's obvious. Right on the day He rode into the city Messiah, the Prince. On that very day, you want to hear something exciting? On that very day that Jesus rode into that city I believe that He knew He was fulfilling that. You say, boy God had to do some kind of arranging to bring that one off. That's no problem for God. Details, details

Neils Bohr had something wise to say about prophecy. He said that prediction is difficult, particularly when it's about the future.
There is one problem with MacArthur's "literal" interpretation. The angel Gabriel said the prophecy would last for 490 years. The angel never mentioned a gap of almost 2,000 years. The gap is a manmade addition, not found in scripture.
One of Dispensationalism's most glaring problems is the claim to take a "literal" interpretation of scripture and then do the exact opposite. Listed below are a few of the most obvious examples.
Adding a gap to Daniel chapter 9, not mentioned by the angel Gabriel.
Stating that Matthew chapter 24 was written to the Jews when the text clearly states Christ was talking to his Apostles, who he knew would be the leaders of His Church.
Ignoring Paul's warning in 2nd Thess. chapter 2, verses 1-4.
Ignoring Paul's clear statements about the difference between Israel of the Flesh and Israel of the Promise in Romans 9, 10, and 11.
Changing the "so" of Romans 11:26 into an adverb of time instead of an adverb of manner.
Producing a pretrib rapture by claiming that 1st Thess. chapter 4 is not related to Matthew chapter 24.
Producing two separate kingdoms, the Church in heaven, and Israel on earth.
Claiming that God offered the kingdom to the Jews, but they rejected it. What would have happened if they had accepted the kingdom?
Claiming the last trumpet in scripture is not the last trumpet.
Turning the word dispensation into a time period instead of the act of administering. A pharmacy dispenses medicine. The Apostle Paul was dispensing the Gospel.
you seem to be wise, can u recommend me any Web page to see a good explanation of scathology

That year 445 BC, was the second decree by Artaxerxes. When the Angel Gabriel told Daniel in verse 25, "from the going forth of the commandment to restore and rebuilt Jerusalem ", Gabriel was referring to the first command and decree by Artaxerxes Longimanus in 457 BC. The seventy weeks or 490 years was a period allotted for the Jewish people to make a change. Their history as God's special people was dotted with apostasy and rebellion. God planted them like a tree expecting them to bear fruits, but God find none. Isa.5:4-7, Luke 13:7-9. And God is about to removed from them the scepter of the kingdom of grace . " Therefore I say unto you , the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof." Matt. 22:43. At the last week of that seventy weeks , Jesus finally left the Temple, saying " your house is left unto you desolate". Days later the Jewish people have him crucified.
That’s true. Daniel 9 70 weeks actually started in 457 BC
Do you have a source for this first decree from Artaxerxes I (longimanus) because his later decree ordered the rebuilding to be stopped.
@@omac3553 : I think our best source is the Bible. The Artaxerxes In Ezra 4 : 21-23 who ordered to stopped the rebuilding in 536 BC even unto the second year of King Darius , is not the same Artaxerxes in Ezra chapter 7 and 8 . In Ezra 7: 12-8:1 is Artaxerxes 1 Longimanus who ordered the rebuilding in 457 BC . I have an old King James Version that has dating in each chapters and the dating that I have is 457 BC. And why 457 BC ? Because that’s only one that will fit the prophecy in Daniel 9: 24-27. There were 3 decrees about the rebuilding of Jerusalem; first by King Cyrus, second by King Darius and third by King Artaxerxes 1 Longimanus in 457 BC. Aside from the decree by Artaxerxes 1 , the King also provides the necessary means and security of the rebuilding of the Jerusalem. And from 457 BC. To the messiah the prince was exactly 483 years when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist in river Jordan declaring “ Behold the lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world.” John 1:29. And then Jesus begins his ministry of which 3 1/2 years later he was crucified for our sins . In Daniel’s prophetic time line this was the 70th week in which in the middle of the week the messiah was cut off from among the living, Daniel 9:26, 27. When you read these verses in Daniel 9 especially verse 26 is a storyline that needs careful analysis. The prince mentioned in verse 26 is Titus the Roman General, who destroyed the City Jerusalem in 70 AD. Full filling the prophecy of Jesus that this City Jerusalem will be destroyed, Matthew 24:2.
@@samuelbongcayao3733 your starting point is correct but everything else you're putting up there is not true. The ending date is Nissan one New Year's Day the first day of the year 27 on the Jewish calendar. Which is March 29th on the Roman Jesus didn't get baptized in the spring of the year. It is 4 years in 27 days from that point to his crucifixion April 25th of the Year 31. Established by John 19:31 and exodus 12.
Intercalation or embolism in
timekeeping is the insertion of a leap day, week, or month into some calendar
years to make the calendar follow the seasons or moon phases. The insertion of
the leap month mentioned above is based on the requirement that Passover-the
festival celebrating the Exodus from Egypt, which took place in the
spring-always occurs in the [northern hemisphere's] spring season. Since the
adoption of a fixed calendar, intercalations in the Hebrew calendar have been
assigned to fixed points in a 19-year cycle. Prior to this, the intercalation
was determined empirically: These extra months are added seven times every
nineteen years. In a regular (kesidran) year, Marcheshvan has 29 days and
Kislev has 30 days. However, because of the Rosh Hashanah postponement rules
(see below) Kislev may lose a day to have 29 days, and the year is called a
short (chaser) year, or Marcheshvan may acquire an additional day to have 30
days, and the year is called a full (maleh) year. The calendar rules have been designed
to ensure that Rosh Hashanah does not fall on a Sunday, Wednesday or Friday.
This is to ensure that Yom Kippur does not directly precede or follow Shabbat,
which would create practical difficulties, and that Hoshana Rabbah is not on a
Shabbat, in which case certain ceremonies would be lost for a year. During leap
years Adar I (or Adar Aleph - "first Adar") is added before the
regular Adar. Adar I is actually considered to be the extra month, and has 30
days. Adar II (or Adar Bet - "second Adar") is the "real"
Adar, and has the usual 29 days. For this reason, holidays such as Purim are
observed in Adar II, not Adar I. The tradition in ancient Israel was that 1
Nisan would not start until the barley is ripe, being the test for the onset of
spring. If the barley was not ripe, an intercalary month would be added before
Nisan. If the twelfth full moon after the previous Passover is too early
compared to the equinox, a leap month is inserted near the end of the previous
year before the new year is set to begin.
Which is why earlier Dating puts it at 30 ad. Before the papacy changed the calendar. And Daniel 7 verse 25 says the antichrist reigns for 1260 years. And look what happens when you apply this to the papacy. First pope 606 ad. Google both 1866 papacy (solar years) and 1848 papacy (lunar years) God made sure we would know who the antichrist is.
@@joshportie Daniel does not say the antichrist reigns 1260 years that is a false interpretation and The Revelation of Jesus Christ the antichrist is only given 42 months and not years.
This is a deep revelation
macarthur is wrong on the 70 weeks -few understand it
Just not the truth. It goes from Nissan 1 to Nissan one on the Jewish calendar which is New Year's Day according to Exodus 12..for 483 years. Starting point is an Ezra 7:9. Ending date is on the Jewish calendar the first day of New Year's Day Nissan one. in the year 27 on the Roman calendar,( that is March 29th.)! On a Saturday. Daniel 9 does not tell you when Jesus died. It just says after the 69th week the Messiah is cut off. I know where he got his theology he didn't learn that on his on or studying..
When I take Daniel 9 literally I do not read about a literal 2000 year gap between the 69th an 70 th week.
That's because it's not there. Only in the mind of dispensationalists and futurists is there a 2,000 year gap,
RESCUE IT FROM YOU
IS DESOLATIONS DETERMINED A GAP IN DAN. 9:26?
DOES IT HAPPEN AFTER THE DESTRUCTION? hint Titus just finished off the city in the earlier sentence.
IS NOT THE DESOLATE THE HOLY CITY? you better get out th Webster foR this one.
WHAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE 70 WEEKS? DANIELS PEOPLE AND THE HOLY CITY AND THEIR ENTIRE FUTURE. WHAT IS THE CONSUMATION? CORRECT THE 70th WEEK.
WHAT IS TO BE DETERMINED? little hint perhaps the little thing Paul mentioned. another hint, time of the Gentiles be fulfilled, ring any bells? IN OTHHER WORDS A GAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick Huntling the 6 things listed in v24 happened in a literal 490 years. The destruction of the city happened “after the 69the week”. AD 70 was after the 69th week. The destruction was DETERMINED in the 490 years- Jesus pronounced judgment on them; they said “we have no King but Cesar”, and they had him crucified. If you take the cross out of the 490 years, you slaughter the prophecy. And the cross was not in a gap- it was the highlight and whole focus of this prophecy for Israel!
And then Gentiles were grafted into a Jewish Body of Believers.
Look up Gary DeMar, John Otis, Kenneth Gentry. If you are willing to learn. It took me awhile and I resisted but once I began to realize the Disp view was off, I saw in an amazing how Scripture interprets Scripture,
Or 37 years in the middle of verse 26 between an anpinted cut off and the destruction of Jerusalem
@@MrBqualls100 you're saying that because you don't know what Jesus told you and Matthew 24:15. The first place he sent you is Daniel 8 about the abomination of desolation speaking of the Antichrist at the end of time. The agreement for the Antichrist at the end of time is Daniel 9:27!. Daniel 9:27 has nothing to do with Jesus Christ!
Great points raised. It is also significant, I believe, that Daniel according to his prayer cites a passage in Jeremiah indicating that captivity would be 70 (according to the number of Sabbath years the Jews desecrated). So in a sense Daniel was seeking a literal response from God, not something figurative or symbolic.
I think one reason so many people get this wrong is because they don't know how to count 69 weeks and don't think about the definition of the word after. It,s (after) 69 finished weeks until the Messiah which is the anointing of Jesus by John the Baptist not his crucifixion . Jesus ministry was 3 1/2 years which is the mist of the (70th) week when he is cut off and the sacrifice and oblation is ceased. Jesus disciples continued to confirm the new covenant to the Jews for another 3 1/2 years until the stoning of Stephen, completing the 70th week. This has already happened just as it was made known to Daniel. It's your choice to believe it fulfilled prophecy or not. How many 70th weeks are there?
Well said!
Im astonished by the interpretation that Jesus is the one making the sacrifice and oblation to cease. Really? Well it continued until the Temple was destroyed. And if you claim the acceptance of the offerings ceased when Jesus died on the cross, you would have to assume that until that very moment the offerings brought by the jews were accepted, which is very hard to prove, listening to what the Evangelists are telling us. The one ceasing the oblation is not the Messiah, but the leader that is yet to come.
the time line begins when the early commandment to build went out, right?
so we have to go with the original command date. am I right?
Maybe. Probably. But best is work back from 33 ad and even Daniels own words are close enough from when he read the law given to build would be 70 weeks of day years, but the 1260 years I think day years must be applied. So 325 - 1585 Luther reformation astanlishef and Bible in all tongues ready to preach to the enf
@@Jesusonlymediatorwithgod only a person that believes a false prophet.. like Ellen White.would say what you said.. none of that is true.
Which is 457 in the( spring of the year) spring of the Year Nissan one.!! Which was established by God himself in Exodus 12. The ending date is the first day New Year's Day in the year 27 for the Jews.. which on the Roman calendar is March 29th. John MacArthur does not know this!! This is what I've done for many years is to research prophecy many many people don't understand this prophecy including the guy ,that John MacArthur got this concept from!
Thank you for seeing that Jesus fulfilled Daniel 9 24 2000 years ago.
No, final 7 years yet future
@@fzr1000981 Where does it say that?
The 70th Week prophecy is directly correlated with the global judgements of Revelation, which are focused on the last 3.5 years of that 7 year period. Temple has not been rebuilt, nothing described in Revelation has been fulfilled yet or even close - very few people will survive that period, billions will die.
"As in the days of Noah..." When God shows up to Judge, alot of people end up dead in a short period of time. Trying to force fit the GLOBAL terrifying judgments of The Revelation into Rome sacking Jerusalem in 70 AD is impossibly blind and idiotic, but there are plenty of idiots ham fisting prophecy now while claiming to be "experts". Noteworthy that Isreal recaptured Jerusalem in 1967 and the prophetic time clock has been on fast forward ever since...but we haven't seen anything yet
Where can I find the full sermon
the proper eschatology/ timing of the 70th week would be at a time when none of the types of interpretations ( literal vs. figuratively) could object; there can be no further delay; we are now in the 70th year of the foundation of the state of Israel; year 5778?
at the twinkling of an eye, the last trumpette
And a generation 70 years since the United Nation of Israel was re-established in the promised land.
Does this mean that the thousand years in Revelation is exactly 1000 (literal) or 999 years or 1001 years or more or less? Is it a literal 1000 or about 1000 years? If it’s not exactly 1000 years to the day then it’s not literal?
I don't think so my friend because of the verse in 2nd Peter 3:8. Also Revelations lets us know how to appropriately associate the things that are detailed there in the book.
I think there are a lot of prophecies that are literally straight forward to understand; and there are things that the Holy Spirit reveals.
God bless you for asking and seeking to know.
I'm a believer but John got this wrong. 445BC was during the reign of Artaxerxes I. Ezra 4:23 tells us that Artaxerxes actually stopped the rebuilding of the city. It wasn't until the 2nd year of his successor Darius II (423-404) that the rebuilding began again. Either Cyrus gave the decree before 535 or else we should consider the final decree to be from Darius II. I am still trying to figure out the chronology.
The starting date was 457 I've studied it for fifty years there's no confusion. About this except John MacArthur doesn't have it right.. which is typical of most of these preachers. most of them don't know prophecy..
Question:
Artaxerxes reigned over Babylon from 465BC-425BC = 40yrs.
Artaxerxes gave his first decree in 458BC-446BC=12yrs.
Artaxerxes gave his second decree in 445BC-444BC=1yr.
Total number of decrees years=13
What happened to the other 36 years/5 1/7 weeks?
If Artaxerxes fulfilled all 7weeks/49 years, then you would need to subtract 444BC-434years=10BC
a date that neither marks the baptism of Messiah nor his triumphant entry.
Is there a solution to the math? Yes
What you said is not true it doesn't go to his baptism.. it goes to his birthday .Nissan one the first day of the first month. Is Exodus 12 tells you.
establish to the Jews in Exodus 12. The starting date is 457 B.C. Ezra 7:9. The same time that the Tabernacle was completed in the Old testament. And Jesus come to Tabernacle amongst us! The ending date is March 29th for the 69 weeks that doesn't go to baptism!! In the year 27!
Based on Matthew 10:5-7, and Romans 1:16, and Galatians 1:14-18, the Gospel was taken "first" to Daniel's people for a period of about 7 years, before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles. This was the 70th week of Daniel during the first century.
Are we supposed to believe the angel Gabriel came 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 covenant with the many in Matthew 26:28?
Except what you said is not true

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. (See Rom. 1:16, Matt. 10:5-7, Acts 10:36-38)
(b) Christ accomplished this by his death and resurrection. (See Heb. 9:15)
(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.
(See Matt. 23:38, Matt. 24:1-2, Luke 19:41-44)
------------------------------------------------
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 10:36 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.
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.
Watch the UA-cam video on Daniel 9 by Dr. Kelly Varner.
If the Anointed refers to Jesus (which it doesn't) and Jesus announced himself as King in 32 AD after 483 years, then why didn't the end of everything happen and the Kingdom appear 7 years later (after the 70 weeks of years)?
Who got the full sermon
So we are to take it literal no metaphors no explaining it away yet it is written 70 weeks but we are to take that as 70 years? Explain away! 🤔
The 70 weeks are a period of 490 days because in the first few verses, Daniel understood the 70 years of captivity are a result of failure to celebrate 70 Jubilees from the time of Saul unto their few years in captivity. Actually, they celebrated Jubilee only twice, once, during the birth of solomon and the next Jubilee they celebrated was during the inauguration of their Temple. Every 50 years, they should had celebrated 8 Jubilees and therefore, in there 451 years of history, they missed 70 Jubilees and only twice celebrated it. So, having kings and Temple doesn’t guarantee a right path to Yahweh but only make them sinned against Yahweh. So, the 70 weeks was not about rebuilding their Temple but rather points to the True Temple of Yahweh, his son, Jesus and his ministry. As a lamb of Yahweh, he must be of the first year, meaning, must be only year old as the length of his ministry, from his cleansing of the Temple unto the next year cleansing of the Temple again. It says the the roads shall be rebuilt again. Jesus being cutoff does not refer to his crucifixion but rather, him being chosen as the sacrificial lamb by his countrymen. This was Friday, after his 2nd cleansing of the Temple, five days before his death on April 28, 28 AD, Wednesday. One lunar year is 51 weeks but in 28 AD, an additional monty, Adar 2, was added before the Nisan 1 New Year, so as to wait for the harvest be ready. This makes the year 55 weeks and pushed the Passover to the end of April in 28 AD. The 70 weeks of Daniel did not started with a command of a Gentile king but rather by Yahweh Himself when Jesus was baptized by John on February 13, 27 AD, Thursday. Use 2003 calendar for this year. Add 7 weeks to it and this was the first entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, Thursday. The next day was his first cleansing of the Temple, Friday, for the after sunset Sabbath. Add the 7 weeks baptism to first cleansing to 55 weeks 2nd cleansing makes it 62 weeks where he was cutoff. Add 6 more days makes a total of 440 days. The 3 days and 3 nights from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday afternoon on May 1, 28 AD are not included. We still have 50 days more and this would be future. Add 66 times 11 times 1000 days takes you to January 20, 2016, the 7th year of Obama. Add 66 times 11 takes you to January 15, 2018, the 1st year of Trump. Add 11 times 28 or 11 lunar cycles and it will take you to the start of the covenant with many by the False Messiah. Trump’s days will only be 666 days. From Obama’s re-election on November 6, 2012, his rule was extended for 42 months. He will have to rule for another 40 weeks plus 6 weeks during the days of Tribulation. The last 50 days of the 70 weeks of Daniel will resume on the Days of Noah, the memorial of the flood, on the 17th day of moon wile the sun is at scorpio, on the 4365th year after the flood. It will be Saturday and jesus told the Jews to pray the their flight be not Sabbath day, for it will be on November 24, 2018 and it will be winter on those 40 days of Tribulation.
Did you misinterpret the end times in the last few sentences? That date is long gone
🤯🤯🤯
dumb question: couldn't the new testament writer's just simply read Daniel's prophecies and write the new testament accordingly to fulfill the prophecies?? please help.
Yes, they could do this, and they did. You can tell cuz they get some of the OT quotes wrong (cuz they had bad translations themselves)
I just started reading this book and I am fascinated by it. However, I am not sure if the prophecy was literal otherwise the angel wouldn't have been instructed to give Daniel insight and understanding. Just saying
Very few people think it's literal, and those that do often justify it by using symbolism when trying to explain it. Having said that, it's considered to be the most difficult section of Daniel to interpret.
It is literal, but John does a bad job explaining it. A Channel called Uncontrolled Opposition has a great video series on it. I would just watch the first 4 videos. Excellent charts and explanations.
The fall of 457bc is the start. The fall of 4bc is when Jesus is born. Fall of 27ad, Jesus begins his ministry which also begins the 70th week.
In the midst of the week, April of 31ad, Jesus is crucified which ends the need for sacrifice and oblation (though the jews kept sacrificing anyway, which were now an abomination since it shows they reject Jesus. Jerusalem would be destroyed in 70ad do to their rejection of Jesus).
The end of the 70th week is 34ad when the first martyr Stephen was stoned to death (who uttered similar words which Jesus uttered before he died).
Jesus in april of 31Ad, was also crucified in the middle of the 7 day week (Wednesday before sundown).
Also if you believe in a 6000 year old earth, if each 1000 years = a day, 0-1000 is 1st day, 1000-2000 2nd day, 2000-3000 3rd day, well the 4 day is the middle of a 7000 year week, and Jesus was born in and died within the 4 day of that week also. It's like God wanted the entire creation and history to point to Jesus.
And there is no year 0. It goes from 1bc the goes to 1ad. That sometimes throws people's math off
@@DJLiquidSmoothalso, the false teaching of the 70 weeks *not* being fulfilled I believe is being done _on purpose_ to protect and distract from a _certain church denomination_
April 6th 32AD??!!! The anointing spoken of in Dan 9:24-27 is his baptism. Not his triumphant entry to Jerusalem. Jesus was baptized on 27AD. On this matter Pastor McArthur you are mistaken!
In the seventh chapter of Ezra the decree is found. [Ezra 7:12-26.] In its completest form it was issued by Artaxerxes, king of Persia, B. C. 457. But in Ezra 6:14 the house of the Lord at Jerusalem is said to have been built “according to the commandment [margin, decree] of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.” These three kings, in originating, re-affirming, and completing the decree, brought it to the perfection required by the prophecy to mark the beginning of the 2300 years.
Calm down and re-read it. You're missing something.
@@OC3707 what is it that I have missed brother?
the 70 weeks began in 457BC...it ends in 34 AD - in 34AD Israel ceased to be God's chosen people as a nation to reflect God's character and witness to other nations...so then the Gospel went to the Gentiles. In 27 AD Christ was baptized in 31 he died - in 34 stephen was martyred and that was the sign for the ending of the 70 weeks
In the seventh chapter of Ezra the decree is found. [Ezra 7:12-26.] In its completest form it was issued by Artaxerxes, king of Persia, B. C. 457. But in Ezra 6:14 the house of the Lord at Jerusalem is said to have been built “according to the commandment [margin, decree] of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.” These three kings, in originating, re-affirming, and completing the decree, brought it to the perfection required by the prophecy to mark the beginning of the 2300 years.
360 day years?? hmm isn't the average biblical month around 29.5 days with a 354 day year? what about leap month years which happen around 1 in every 3?
The issue is, the decree went forth in 457B.C. Ezra 7:9. Which is New Year's Day to the Jewish people. Which is New Year's Day as scribed in Exodus 12.. to the Jewish.. the ending date of the 69 weeks goes from New Year's Day, to New Year's Day, there's no day lose. John copied this sermon from a British guy from the 1800s that didn't know what he was doing!!! and John is still believing It.. the ending date of the 69 weeks is Nissan one on the Jewish calendar( New Year's Day in the year 27.) On the Jewish calendar... Which on the Roman calendar that is March 29th)) on a Saturday)!!. Just like the 69 week statement... and Daniel 9. It says after that Christ is cut off not for his own sake ...it doesn't say how long after! Many prophecy preachers try to make that fit to the exact day of the crucifixion ..it doesn't work ..because I know the timeline of every one of these prophecies to the day! It is believed Nissan one is Jesus actual true birthday. And I can explain to you that why that would be. If you get back with me.
Seventy weeks are determined upon *thy people and upon thy holy city*
...to finish the transgression, and
(Jn 1:29; 1 Jn 3:5; Is 53:12)
...to make an end of sins, and
(1 Cor 15:3; Col 1:19-20; Heb 9:26-28)
...to make reconciliation for iniquity, and
(Rom 5:10; 2 Cor 5:18; Col 1:20-22; Eph 2:14-16)
...to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
(Matt 3:15; Rom 3:21-22; Rom 8:4; 2 Cor 5:21)
...to seal up the vision and prophecy, and
(Jn 19:30; Luke 24:25-27; Rev 19:10)
...to anoint the most Holy.
(Is 61:1; Mark 1:15; Luke 4:18; Heb 9:8)
{Daniel 9:24} < The context
And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ("Behold your house has been left unto you desolate.")
{Daniel 9:27}
7 weeks + 62 weeks + *one week* = 70 weeks, to anoint the most Holy, and to seal up the vision and the prophecy.
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, *It was necessary* that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: (for there were three and a half years remaining grace for "thy people" of the final week.) but seeing ye put it from you, and *judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life* lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
{Acts 13:46-48}
To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until *the land had enjoyed her sabbaths* for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
{2 Chronicles 36:21}
For 490 years, equal to 70 sabbath rest for the land every seventh year, that Israel and Judah transgressed the law of God.
This is why they received seventy years exiled in bondage in the land of Babylon.
There was no gap in their seventy years in exil, and there is no gap in the 490 years of transgressing the law of God, and there most certainly was no gap unto the coming of the Messiah who did not come in a vacuum, but rather confirmed his covenant with many for there and a half years, and in the land of Israel's inheritance.
The stoning of Steven is when probation closed on the covenant that God made with the their fathers, exactly three and a half years after Jesus Christ, our passover was sacrificed for us, and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven went out unto the Gentiles also.
Amen!
Jesus indeed fulfilled v.27 too, amen.
The "he" in verse 27, I believe refers to the Antichrist.
Excellent!
I have it from the birth of Yahusha to the destruction of the temple, a 40 year probation period until the removal of the Shekinah Glory. I even believe that the book of Revelation was written before the destruction of the temple.
70AD +490+490+490+490=1960
1960+70=2030 the 120th Jubilee
2030-2000= 30CE Crucifixion year and 80th Jubilee year
Rapture time hopefully 4.8.2030- Parousia 2037!
The last seven has not yet come. It comes at the end.
The math is off on MacArthur‘s explanation. The decree to rebuild the temple by Artexeres happened in 457 BC. Not 445 BC. If you use 457 BC then you arrive at 27 AD for Jesus’ baptism which is right on time. The 70th week follows right after and ends in 34 AD with the stoning of Stephan. Jesus is crucified halfway through the 70th week.
@some times Good attempt but you are off by one year. The decree by Artaxerxes was in 457 BC. Jesus began His ministry in 27 AD and the 70 weeks ended in 34 AD. The reason you are off by one year is that there is no year zero.
@some times I was actually in the process of making my own video on the 70 weeks. How to easily do the math on it. A lot of people are counting to 69 and then stopping for some reason.
Except you're not telling the truth .the 457 starting date is correct. but the entire 70th week is not speaking of Jesus Christ.. you're blaspheming his name.. the agreement is written the second time after the king wins it by flatteries ...in Daniel 11:21.. he makes the agreement( the prince of the Covenant )!in the end of (Daniel 11 verse 22 )and the beginning of verse 23 !!John MacArthur does not know what that scripture saying ...and he sets up the abomination of desolation in( verse 31) it's the( same Abomination this written in Daniel 8) except Abomination and transgression are the same word transgression is used in Daniel 8.. it's a dreadful sin (what did Jesus do that was a dreadful sin in Daniel 9:27????) and it's the king of Daniel 8::23 the total time 2520 days ..the functioning time after its built,,, is 2300 days ,,it tells you all of this in Daniel 8. the Antichrist is doing this. this is not written to Gentiles... this is written to the children of Daniel his descendants in Daniel 12 ...the Great Tribulation is the last 1260 days which is written in all kinds of Prophecy text .if you look for it .the last 42 months is in Revelations 13 verse 5 ..both ends of this prophecy on Revelations chapter 11.. this is got absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ.
@@MaryMartinez-lm5tv The 70th week is ALL about Jesus and no one else. Daniel 9:26 is very clear that this prophecy is talking about Jesus. “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;”. The anti-Christ is not Messiah and the anti-Christ is not crucified 3 1/2 years into his ministry as Jesus was.
There is no such thing as “The Great Tribulation” found in the Bible. There is only an unspecified time of tribulation.
The 1260 years of papal persecution runs from 538 ad to 1798 ad. This lines up with the French Revolution where the pope was captured by Napoleon and died in prison.
The entire 70 weeks is given for Daniel’s people the Jews to turn around from their transgressions. It is a continuous 490 years and is not meant to be broken up and moved to the future.
The 70th week is all about Jesus’ ministry from His baptism in 27 ad, His crucifixion in 31 ad, (He was crucified in the middle but not for Himself), to Stephan’s stoning in. 34 ad. Stephan’s stoning was where the Jews finally turned away from God and the gospel then went to the Gentiles. The 70th week is ALL about Jesus Christ!
The 1599 Geneva Bible is the Bible the Pilgrims brought to America. What was their understanding of Daniel 9:27? Did they believe the “covenant with the many” in Daniel 9:27 is the “covenant with the many” in Matthew 26:28, which is the New Covenant? Did the angel Gabriel appear 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?
The following comes from 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?
How did Peter address the crowd on the Day of Pentecost when about 3,000 Israelites accepted the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and fulfilled by the blood of Christ at Calvary?
Act 2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
We know there was a time period between Calvary and Paul’s conversion, because he held the coats of those who stoned Stephen. Since Pentecost was almost 2 months after Christ died at Calvary, we know a time period of several months may have occurred before Paul came to faith in Christ.
What did Paul say below about the time period between his conversion and the day he went to see Peter?
Gal 1:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
Gal 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Gal 1:17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
In the passage above the Apostle Paul reveals there was a time period of about 3 years between the time of his conversion and the time he went to see Peter. Therefore, we know Paul did not start preaching the Gospel to the Gentiles until at least three years after his conversion.
Can we find a time period of about seven years when the Gospel was taken “first” (Rom. 1:16) to the Jews, before Paul began preaching the Gospel to the Gentiles?
3 ½ years during the earthly ministry of Christ
(Matt. 10:5-7, Acts 10:36-38)
Several months between Christ’s death and Paul’s conversion
3 years between Paul’s conversion and the time he went to see Peter.
(Galatians 1:14-18)
If the time periods above are added up we get a total time period of about seven years when the Gospel was taken “first” to Daniel’s people, before Paul took the Gospel to the Gentiles. Therefore, a New Covenant understanding of Daniel chapter 9 reveals the 70th week of Daniel occurred during the first century.
Did the sacrifices cease in the middle of the week, (after about 3 ½ years), when Christ died at Calvary? Why did God rip the temple veil in half at the moment Christ died? Even though the Jews continued to sacrifice animals after Calvary, were those sacrifices accepted by God? The answer to these questions can be found in the Book of Hebrews. Was Christ the final sacrifice for sin in Hebrews 10:16-18, in fulfillment of the New Covenant?
Very few modern Christians have ever heard the New Covenant interpretation of Daniel 9:27, which is found in the 1599 Geneva Bible.
What happened to the 3.5 remaining years? It does not coincides with anything in history to fit that
It's the 42 months the Revelation 13: 5. It's the (second set of numbers in Revelations chapter eleven ) the first set of numbers is the first half of Daniel 9:27..forty-two months. It is the time times and a half a time .(to the children of Daniel) his descendants.. at the end of time in Daniel 12.. it is the time times and a half a time or 1260 days. In Revelation 12. At the very end of time! When the Great tribulation takes place!!
Jesus died 31 Ad so he did not ride into Jerusalem in 32 AD as the 70 weeks end in 34Ad and they started in 457 Bc...there were not 4 decrees - what is considered to be the 4th was only a request by nehemiah....read the 3 decrees they all start out by each king saying - I make a decree ---but not so with the 4th request..
In the seventh chapter of Ezra the decree is found. [Ezra 7:12-26.] In its completest form it was issued by Artaxerxes, king of Persia, B. C. 457. But in Ezra 6:14 the house of the Lord at Jerusalem is said to have been built “according to the commandment [margin, decree] of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.” These three kings, in originating, re-affirming, and completing the decree, brought it to the perfection required by the prophecy to mark the beginning of the 2300 years.
Daniel 9:27 is the last literal 7 days of the 69th week and reads like this "And HE (Jesus) shall confirm the covenant (Isiah 55:3) with the many (many peoples, nations, tongues and Kings; Rev 10:11) for one week (7 days): and in the midst (Wednesday/Thursday Passover) of the week (7 days) HE (CHRIST) shall cause the sacrifice (with CHRIST's perfect sacrifice) and the oblation to cease (IT IS FINISHED), and for the overspreading (continuing) of abominations (animals sacrificed) shall make it desolate (scattered Jews), even until the consummation (70th week), and that determined (judgment) be poured upon the desolate (Jews).
What abomination did Jesus Christ do with the end of Daniel 9: 27 which is a terrible sin!! What agreement did he make for only seven (years)? With (many)? and (not all)?. And when did that happen (after Titus destroyed the Temple )!??which was 70 AD. Then it speaks of the 70th week!??? This is written in chronological order. You're blaspheming the Jesus of Bible.. the 70th week ..is the (agreement the Antichrist makes for Daniel 8)!!! it's the same agreement in Daniel 11 verse 22 (the prince of the covenant)!! at the end of the verse.. and the beginning a verse 23. Which is a league ,a-league is a covenant!!! you don't know what you're saying!!!! The covenant is made by the guy the king that wins it by flatteries. Inverse 11:21 That ( does the abomination of desolation in Daniel 11:31)!!! what Jesus told you to understand in Matthew 24:15). The first place it is written about is in Daniel 8 ..at the very end of time Daniel 8:19... You don't know any of this! The word( abomination of desolation is right in the agreement)!!!. It's about the Antichrist!!!
@@JamieElison LOL. Dan. 9:27 HE is Messiah not some Antichrist in the future. The abominations were for 40 years "thy People " aka Jews continued sacrifices after "HE" made the final sacrifice in the midst of the Passion week. Your the blasphemous person calling Messiah the antichrist.
Dan. 8:10-26 and 11:23-35 is Antiochus from 174 bc - 168 bc. The two chapters even say it began with Persian Beast to the Grecia beast empire. The End Time beast is Dan. 11:36-45. You say stuff that's not in the scripture and ignore the fact the prophecy was fulfilled and history is my witness.
@@rickhuntling7338 the abomination of desolation written in the Book of Daniel is always the same guy no matter where you go Jesus in Matthew 24:15 told you about him standing in the Holy place and that is what's happening in Daniel 8 the first place it's written all the rest of them are the same guy the agreement for that is 2520 days long.. it takes 220 days to build it the functioning time is 2300 days the cleansing time is in the last verse with numbers .Daniel 12 1335 days starting from The Middle when he breaks the Covenant is 75 days ..longer than 1260 days notice those that went to the Four Winds ..(it was at the very end of time)!

@@MaryMartinez-lm5tvthe abomination of desolation is not a person. It is the continuation of sacrifices and offerings after Jesus was crucified which is why the temple and Jerusalem were destroyed in 70 AD.

Daniel 9:27 ... is speaking of the new covenant that Jesus Christ our promised Messiah confirms with many, for three and a half years of the seventieth week, (not as the unlearned, who give this covenant to the antichrist) from his anointing~baptism at the age of thirty, to his sacrifice and death, and resurrection when he was thirty three years of age, for the remission of sins.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, [G1242] which was established upon better promises.
{Hebrews 8:6}
For this is the covenant [G1242] that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; *I will put my laws* into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
{Hebrews 8:10}
For this is my blood of the new testament, [G1242] which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
{Matthew 26:28}
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, [G1242] which is shed for many.
{Mark 14:24}
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament [G1242] in my blood, which is shed for you.
{Luke 22:20}
The math is incorrect 483 minus 445 leaves us with 38. 70x7=490-7=483 445+38=483. That would mean the Lord Yeshua was 38 when He rode the foal into Jerusalem. What am I missing?
Hi Alex. The explanation he gave (at the 3 minute mark) was that the OT calendar was 360 days. So Daniel's prophecy would be 483 x 360 = 173880 days. To convert to the Gregorian calendar it is 173880 / 365.25 = 476 years. From 445 BC this would take to AD 32 (with no year 0). The alternative is to start with a 457 BC date (when Artaxerxes gave Ezra the decree to return to Jerusalem) that takes to AD 30. Hope it helps.
you have your dates wrong...the decree went forth 457 not 445 BC, christ was born 4BC, so in 27 AD he was 30 years old and baptized, died in 31Ad then the 70 weeks ended in 34 Ad with the stoning of Stephen in acts 7
If you get back with me both of these people are not telling you the truth. Very few people know this prophecy I've spent many many years looking at this. I sent you a text on the other one. Jesus was not 38 years old. When he died on the cross because most people don't know when he was born!

Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and *understanding*
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision (of the 2,300 years in Daniel 8).
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, [49 years] and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
{Daniel 9:21-23,25}
Jews do not deny the first part of this prophecy, (and that the day for a year principle applies to it) it's only after threescore and two weeks, do they deny the coming of their Messiah.
Jesus Christ did not come in a vacuum.
He confirmed his new covenant promised in (Jer 31:31-34) for three and a half years, after his anointing by the Holy Spirt at the beginning of his ministry. Like king David before, Jesus would be anointed 'again' at his death, when he became our passover Lamb in the middle of the seventieth week, with three and a half years remaining (grace) of the final seventieth week under the covenant God made with their fathers "Thy people".
This is why the gospel was preach exclusively within the boards of the promise land, before Christ chose Paul to bring his gospel unto the Gentile nation to bring them into the common wealth of Israel (Jeshurun his people).
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
{Acts 13:46}
And *after* threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,
👉but not for himself:...
(For he (God the Father) hath made him [Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

This is not part of the seventy weeks.
It's the consequences of the abominations made in the temple, after Christ had put an end to the sacrifices and the oblations of the daily. It was a prince (lower-case) of Rome (the fourth beast of Daniel 7) who stood in the holy place in 70 A.D.
☆The seventy weeks are determined from the terminus que [457 B.C.] of the 2,300 evenings and mornings, and the cleansing of the sanctuary (judgment 'yom kippur') 👉in heaven.
And he [the Messiah] shall confirm the covenant with many for ONE WEEK: and IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (the seventieth) he [Christ] SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE, and for the overspreading of abominations (the continued temple sacrifices, after Christ one perfect sacrifice.) he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

What is the explanation for justifying the gap between the 69th and 70th week?

Is there any strong biblical grounds for this view?
The seven years missing is due to the fact that Israel failed to see Christ as the messiah. He rode in Jerusalem on a donkey and wept coz they missed their moment of redemption. The remaining seven will be completed during the tribulation period.
One-half of The Seventieth Week is called "time, times and half a time" (Dan.7.25; 12.7; Rev.12.14), but also "1260 days" (Rev.11.3; 12.6). 1260 calendar days is 40 calendar months * 31.5 calendar days, or 3.5 calendar years. If 3.5 years are half of a prophetic week, it stands to reason the 7 calendar years are one prophetic week.

If prophesy was that easy to interpret, why are a majority of Christian leaders and theologians not in agreement? If we don't do our own research we can be seriously bewitched and misled. Daniel's 70-week prophesy requires intense prayer to understand. Daniel 9:24-27 is widely misunderstood. The prophet Daniel was not an academic exclusively concerned with his ideas and popularity. He was humble in his heart for the truth concerning his people. God answered accurately and so many have made it what they want it to be. If everyone agreed their findings from the Father's inspiration we would all agree the truth and the truth in righteousness is all we need to be worthy of our calling.
This cracks me up. All you have to do is read it . the seventieth week is so obvious.
How is the oblation ended?
It's Christ on the cross, the perfect Passover lamb.
In the midst of the week...
Jesus crucified Wed.
In the tomb Wed night Thursday, Thursday night, Fri, Fri night, Saturday. Sometime sat eve he arose. Sunday before daylight he was already gone. No where does it say he rose on Sunday.
Also after 62 weeks messiah is cutoff... Why do you not see this?
62 literal weeks Messiah cutoff. His ministry was one year long. It had to be. By law the Passover sacrifice had to be a yearling.
What did Jesus say when he taught in the synagogue in Bethlehem after he was tempted? Remember? I CAME TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD!
+,Richard Shepler Sr Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the 10th of the month, when the Jews would choose a lamb for the Passover. They kill the Passover Lamb on the 14th(which is Thursday, since the 10th was Sunday, the 1st day of the week), Christ was crucified on Thursday the 14th as testified by the religious leaders who wouldn't enter the judgement hall because they would be defiled and not able to partake of the "Passover" John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
Christ arose sometime (our)Saturday NIGHT, because the women went to the tomb before sunrise Sunday morning. Just as Christ said that He would be in the grave 3 days AND 3 nights;Thursday(part of a day is to count the day), Friday, Saturday as well as the nights. Please don't consider this reply as confrontation, just a comparison!
Jesus preached for more than 1 year for sure! Jesus(being Jewish) began His office when He was 30 and lasted 3 1/2 years according to prophecy.
+Jimbo jenkins several things, first the 10th day of the month is not necessarily the first day of the week. the month begins at the first sliver of the new moon. so the Passover sabbath is not the weekly sabbath , there are two Sabbaths passover week. next I believe you are imagining a project that says Messiah ministers 3 1/2 years. you will have to show me that one.
scripture is very clear. Dan 9 states clearly that Messiah was cutoff after 62 weeks. Jesus stated himself that he came to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. ( his words not mine) also if Jesus wasn't a yearling then he wasn't an eligible passover sacrifice. that's the law plain and simple.
a3 1/2 year ministry is an abstract from the gospel of John determined by the number of times passover is mentioned.
john is not a synoptic gospel , you can not determine chronology from this gospel as it is not written in anything close to the chronology of the other three, particularly Luke which states plainly that it is chronological.
+Jimbo jenkins also agreed by sat eve Jesus was risen. count backwards- sat night- Saturday day - Fri night - Friday day- Thur night- Thursday day, Jesus in the grave. wed & eve Jesus crucified and died.
Thursday sabbath - feast of unleavened bread. Fri preparation day for weekly sabbath, sat sabbath. sunday- first day of week before sunrise the women went to the tomb....
Passover began on the tenth of the month(Sunday, when Jesus rode into town) when the lamb was chosen and brought into the home and sacrificed on the 14th(Thursday) Jesus was hung on the cross and died the same time the lambs were slaughtered for the Passover. John 18:
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled ; but that they might eat the passover. So, from this we can see that it was not the Passover yet, which was on the 14th which was Thursday. Jesus was hung on the cross that day and died that afternoon and was buried before sunset on Thursday.
+Jimbo jenkins I agree with you completely and the only year that the Passover starts on Wednesday at sundown and ends on Thursday is 31 AD. John has to stop the good Friday stuff that leaves no room for the 3 nights.
The whole Dispensational Futurist interpretation of Daniel's 70th week (Dan.9:24-27) is based upon:
1) the presupposition that the 70th week is still seeking fulfillment; and that there is a large "gap" of time between the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel's prophecy (thus overthrowing the dispensational futurist assertion that they interpret the Bible "literally"…because the "gap theory" is held in contradistinction to a literal rendering of Daniel's 70 weeks).
2) the fallacious assertion that the Jews used a 360 day yearly calendar…I assure you, they did not. They did, as well as all ancient near-eastern peoples, utilize a Lunar *monthly* calendar. But all the ancient near-eastern peoples used differing methods to reconcile their Lunar calendar (which would equal about 360 days in a year) with the Solar *yearly calendar* (about 365.25 days). None…I repeat, "NONE" of the ancient near-eastern peoples used a 360 day yearly calendar in total disregard of the proper 365 day solar year!
These people were experts at looking to the stars, sun, and moon, for figuring out the times of the seasons…they knew the inconsistency of using a Lunar calendar to establish a yearly cycle (the Lunar cycle was only meant to determine *months*; not *years*).
Hope this helps some of you.

The Jews restored control of the Old City of Jerusalem on 7 June 1967 and so you got to start counting again as per the prophecy of Daniel's 70 weeks.
After the 62 weeks Messiah would be cut off... but what about after the 7 weeks ?
So count 7 weeks from 7 June 1967 which come to 23 Sept 2015 the Day of Atonement.

"Nobody of sound mind has implied that the Jews used a 360 day yearly calendar…"
Ah, yes they have. In fact, the Dispensational Futurist theory of Daniel's 70th week being cut off from the 69 weeks, and then thrown out into the future some 2,000 years later, is dependent upon the assertion of a 360 day year, rather than a 365.25 day year.
Dispensational Futurists begin Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy with the wrong decree from Artaxerxes.
There are in fact four possible starting points for the prophecy of Dan. 9:24-27:
1) Cyrus' decree in 537 B.C. (Ezra 1:1-4; 6:3-5; cf. 1 Chron. 36:22-23);
2) Darius' decree in about 519/518 B.C. (Ezra 6:1-12);
3) Artaxerxes' decree in 457 B.C. (Ezra 7:1-26);
4) Artaxerxes' second decree in 444 B.C.
Dispensational Futurists begin the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 with the 4th decree listed above: Artaxerxes' second decree in 444 B.C.
But there are some major problems with this assertion; I will not list them all, but only the problem of the time aspect of it [and how the dating doesn't add up].
If we begin the 69 weeks (which is all that Dispensational Futurists assert has been fulfilled from Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy) with Artaxerxes' 2nd decree in 444 B.C., and we add 483 years (69 weeks) to it, we come to 39 A.D., which is way too late for the crucifixion, or the life of Christ.
So, how do Dispensational Futurists attempt to solve this problem?
They assert a 360 day "prophetic year" calendar, rather than a 365.25 day solar year calendar.
Thus, they turn the first 69 weeks/483 years into 476 "prophetic years"…amazing!
Of course, there are several problems with this as well, chief among them being:
"While the 360-day lunar year was known in ancient Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon, using a system of 12 months with 30 days each, *it is of vital importance to recognize that various devices were employed in these nations to bring about an approximation to the 365.25 days of the solar year*.
And, "No ancient nation is known to have employed a 360-day year in complete disregard for the solar cycle of 365.25 days." [Daniel and Revelation Committee Series, v.3, pg. 21].
But the Dispensational Futurist eschatological system, which is completely dependent upon a future fulfillment of Daniel's 70th week, is dependent upon the assertion of a 360-day "prophetic yearly" calculation.
However, if one takes the 3rd decree listed above (the 1st Decree of Artaxerxes in 457 B.C.), then the problems go away…and we don't have to cut off the 70th week from the 69 weeks…Jesus fulfills the first 3.5 years of the 70th week in His earthly ministry…the apostles continue it for the next 3.5 years after His ascension…then the gospel goes out to the whole world :)

It is a matter of biblical fact that 1260 days are 42 months are 3.5 years.
And that is why it may be biblical correct to use 360 days in computing Daniel's 70 weeks.
Nobody of sound mind would suggest the ancients actually used a 360 day year calendar.
+TokiEl SanSmaragd
Yes, "it is a matter of biblical fact that 1260 days are 42 months are 3.5 years."
What does that have to do with Daniel 9:24-27, which are recorded as 70 weeks, or, 490 days, which are a literal 490 years, utilizing the day=year principle as taught in Scripture?
But the 1,260 days (42 months, 'time, times, and half a time') have NOTHING to do with Daniel 9:24-27.
Dispensationalists assert, inconsistently, that while the 490 days of Dan. 9:24-27 are to be taken as a literal 490 years (which they are correct to do, except that they begin the prophecy at the wrong date and with the wrong decree from Artaxerxes I Longimanus), they abandon this principle when speaking of the 1,260 day reign of the 'little horn' (Dan. 7), the 'two witnesses' (Rev. 11), the 'woman in the wilderness' (Rev. 12), and the 'sea beast' (Rev. 13).
Why abandon the day=year principle with the 1,260 day time prophecies, but utilize it in Dan. 9:24-27?
Protestants of the past were actually consistent in that they viewed the 1,260 days also as literal years.
Why don't Dispensational Futurists do this?
Because they are following a false eschatological system, that's why.
The time prophecies of Daniel and Revelation are already given as symbolic time periods.
But the interpretation should be literal; they should not be taken as so-called "prophetic years," but literal 365.25 day years.
If you have any questions, let me know.

It is a matter of biblical fact that 1260 days are 42 months are 3.5 years which biblically imply a 360 day year because 3.5x360 = 1260.
This doesn't mean anybody actually observed a 360 day year calendar but biblical computing as in Daniel's 70 weeks may be correct using a 360 day year.
In fact it is correct.
He argues for literalism and then proceeds to spiritualize "putting an end to transgression, make an end of sin, and bring in everlasting righteousness." Not disagreeing with him, but I wouldn't call that a total literal interpretation. If taken literally, this would seem to refer to the after the second coming.

If Seventy weeks is literally Seventy weeks, then its literally not ''Seventy weeks of years'.
Be that as it may, I accept that the vision was meant to convey Seventy weeks of years (the 'weeks' is metaphorically 'weeks of years') John Macarthur actually presupposes the same thing.
OK if it is literally Seventy weeks of years, then that time frame has literally gone, literally long ago, literally in the First Century.
But Macarthur stretches these 490 years out to thousands of years. So much for his 'literal' approach.
None of us can go through even a single day taking everything 'literally'. No. Language doesn't work that way.
Rather we take it in its normal, contextual sense. eg. 'I've been working my fingers to the bone'. We all understand that phrase but it is not a literal description of what is being talked about.
To try to squeeze the Bible into a rigid 100% literal mold makes it nonsensical.
That's because you've never actually studied this text. The Jews came back in May 14th 1948. They still don't have the Temple that they want. Daniel 9 says to them for all of time !!all the time is not complete.!! The scripture text is written to Christians and Jews.. to Daniel his and his descendants... That can understand.. ( that can understand that subject.)! So they don't end up in Daniel 12:10 in the middle of the verse!!.
The Hebrew Calendar does not have 360 days. It is a lunar/solar calendar calibrated by the vernal equinox. A typical year has 354 days but they add an intercalary month every few years to keep it aligned with the solar calendar. He is providing a "futurist" view of Daniel 9. This is not a literal view and there is no justification for the gap between the 69th & 70th week.
Except the starting point is Nissan one. On the Jewish calendar. Ezra7:9 is the starting. It goes from one New Year's to the next New Year's on the. Jewish calendar. The ending date of the 69 weeks is Nissan one. New Year's Day as established by Exodus 12. Which is the first day of New Year's Day of the Year 27 which is March 29th on the Roman calendar!! There's no loss of days. That's why it this works out perfectly ...John MacArthur is wrong about the time.... He copied it from an English guy from the 1840s ,for this sermon. But the 70th week is not started. Because Daniel 9 is written to Daniel to his people and City...( for all the time)!!!. They have once again returned May 14th 1948!!! As. Isaiah 11:11 says. Ezekiel 36 says in (one day) as described and Isaiah 66.. and they need the temple built as described in Daniel 8. But the (Antichrist makes the agreement for in Daniel 9:27! As Jesus told you to go to the Book of Daniel. And understand who the guy that is standing in the (Holy place) ! That is what's written in Daniel 8 and 4 more places in the Book of Daniel.at the end of time Daniel 8:19 Daniel 8:17 Daniel 8:25. Those are just the facts.. I can prove everything of this. With the Bible only! John MacArthur does not understand the meaning of the prophecy!
Okay so we’re supposed to interpret “literally” and then you tell us that 70 weeks mean 70 weeks of years, now I believe that it does but it does seem with all these dispensationalists that they like to pick and choose when to interpret “literally” there simply is no gap, this prophecy is about Christ coming and and inaugurating his kingdom, it is all fulfilled in Christ, Christ is reigning at the right hand of his Father now….in Heaven
All that you have said. is you don't understand what the Bible is actually, saying..
It is really ironic to hear him critique symbolic eschatology, read "70 weeks," say, "that's clear," and then argue that that period lasts much longer than the literal language suggests. I love MacArthur but he's inconsistent here.
Agreed
John MacArthur copied this from a British guy from the from the 1800s. And the guy was wrong .that's all I'm telling you!. I can explain this prophecy to the exact day !and showing you every Bible verse for it. Including the day Jesus died on the cross. John misinterpreted Daniel 11 entirely. I do love him ..but he doesn't know what he's doing. I've studied the book of Daniel . Dan Daniel 8.. the prophecy where this all starts!!!... for nearly 50 years. That is really where this prophecy first starts .as Jesus tells you and Matthew 24:15. If you contact me and they let me speak .I can explain this to you! To the exact day .the 69 weeks ends .because it has an exact starting date .on the Jewish calendar! Is Exodus 12 tells you!
Excellent exegesis, excellent!
Except he didn't tell you the truth about Daniel 11 at all
@@MaryMartinez-lm5tv and what is that truth , can you explain it?
@@joecannes2421 What he.told you about Daniel 11. is about the Antichrist at the end of time it's got absolutely nothing to do with. Antiochus of epiphanes he is not written about anywhere in the Book of Daniel. if you fully understand Daniel 8 this is where the prophecy starts.. it is what Jesus said in Matthew 24:15 the (abomination of desolation) which is the Antichrist in the very end of time Daniel 8:19. which John MacArthur never went to... the first place it's written in its entirety which is Daniel 8.. Daniel 8 Daniel 9:27 Daniel 11 from verse 21 to the end all of Daniel 12 in the space of time at the end of Daniel 7.. are all the same guy ...that is what Jesus was referring to in the Book of Daniel.. but the New Testament was not written when Jesus first spoken Matthew 24.. so the other scripture text matching these is Revelation chapter 11. Revelation chapter 12. in Revelation chapter 13.. an the supporting factor of 13 is Revelation 17 ..Antiochus epiphanes was over for 200 years before Jesus address the sermon on the Mount of Olives ..(on this subjec.. all he did was copy some guy from England who put this theology out back in the 1840s.. but he is right about Daniel 9:27 being about the Antichrist!!! and the last space of time but as far as the other text. He went to... it's not true.
@@MaryMartinez-lm5tv I couldn't disagree with you more. Antiochus epiphanies is most definitely in the book of Daniel. While this subject is far to involved to discuss in this format, I recommend a book by Renald Showers called "The most High God" He is a recognized distinguished Theologian.
God bless
@@joecannes2421 I don't need a book I've studied it for fifty years I know exactly what it's saying there are three kings in Daniel 11 verse 21 to the end .John MacArthur doesn't know that.( The King of the North is still fighting with the King that wins it by flatteries) who is the Antichrist in verse 11:21. And Antiochus epiphanes went home and died after what you're not recognizing as the abomination of desolation of the Antichrist and claiming it's Antiochus epiphanes it's not.. the abomination of desolation the functioning time of the start to the finish. and the Reconstruction was less than three and a half years .Daniel 8 says it is 2300 days long the agreement of Daniel 9:27 is the same agreement of Daniel 11 verse 22 at the end an 23 at the beginning! it's the same guy .this subject is always written at the end of all these chapters in and 12 it is the entire chapter.
How can a man with his reputation misread the promise of the coming MessiahPraying that he come to know truth since he has such a following and is such a deceiver
+web Thousands of pastors follow his every word.
+ken bro - MOST OF THE WORLD CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN DECEIVED BY THIS GREAT DELUSION!
Can you explain this to me. Im confused when it comes to this
Megan More hey Megan I’m no expert but there are two competing thoughts.
1. many people believe Daniel 9 v27 onwards is talking about the anti christ making a covenant with Israel half way through a 7 year period of tribulation (which is still to come). They believe that 69 of Daniels weeks passed until this point in the Bible and then there has been a gap until the present day, and that soon the last week of Daniels 70 weeks will start what people call the 7 years of tribulation when the anti christ will come on the scene.
2. Other people think that the 69 weeks went upto when Jesus started his ministry, which lasted 3 1/2 years. They believe that the HE isn’t the anti christ but in fact Jesus and his death was when he was “cut off”. Another 3 1/2 years passed which brought an end to the 70 weeks.
So basically the first set of people believe in a 7 tribulation is still to happen. The second set of people it was fulfilled when Jesus died.
The other passage that plays into this is Mat 24 which makes reference to the “abomination of desolation” here in Daniel 9. The first set of people say Mat 24 is talking about the future tribulation period and the abomination is the anti christ. They believe Mat 24 is talking about Jesus second coming. The second set of people think the first half of Mat 24 is talking about the destruction of the temple in 70AD and only the second half of Mat 24 is talking about the second coming of Christ.
For what it’s worth I’m in the second camp
Grace and peace x
Instead of just calling him a deceiver why don’t you refute his reading and give what you believe is the correct reading, otherwise you are just a slanderer for the brethren...
Daniel Chapter 9 Misinterpretation causes Tribulation
Jeremiah 7:30
Isaiah 28:22
Luke 21:20
Matthew 24:15
2 Corinthians 3:6
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Matthew 26:28

New Living Translation - errors found in this version
25 Now listen and understand! Seven sets of seven plus sixty-two sets of seven will pass from the time the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem until a ruler-the Anointed One
-comes. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and strong defenses, despite the perilous times.
26 “After this period of sixty-two sets of seven, the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing,
and a ruler will arise whose armies will destroy the city and the Temple.
The end will come with a flood, and war and its miseries are decreed from that time to the very end.
27 The ruler will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven, but after half this time,
he will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings. And as a climax to all his terrible deeds, he will set up a sacrilegious object that causes desecration,
until the fate decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him.”
King James version - correct compared to original Hebrew dead sea scrolls!
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,
and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Who is "he"?
Messiah the prince can only be Jesus
Who are the ones carrying out the judgement?
People of the prince were the romans in Israel who carried out the siege of 70 ad fulfilling Ezekiel 5
"prince" used in the bible as one that power is given. Clear both Messiah and the romans were indeed given
power. Messiah from the Father and Rome to crucify! Rome to put down rebellion 70 ad.
desolate
desolate refers to the former temple made of human hands now no longer representing God's Spirit
but reallocated to the human body where our hearts reside.
The pouring out occurs after the sanctuary has been made already desolate identifying the order
of occurrence that matches a history understanding and conflicts with a future version.
John 2:19
What are the "abominations" plural?
The abominations are the false un-repentant religiously defiled worship that occurred
when Jesus found The House of Prayer used for other sinful purposes around 30 ad
Explain consummation.
comsumation identifies the fullness of His out-pouring of wrath for the abominations and refusal of receiving Messiah
Isaiah 28:22
The time context is?
70 ad. for Daniel Chapter 9
The time context foreshadows re- occurrence
The Great Tribulation period, at the end of the age of grace 2000 years from 30 ad plus the time the
tribulation takes to complete.
As before so in the future.
The cause of the tribulation is judgement for rebellion of Messiah round 2!
Spirit centered around the location of the Holy Mountain Israel but also Global due to
sinful aid by self professed Christians interested in prophecy who falsely interrupting Daniel
as an antichrist reveling passage.
Element / assumptions read into the text of just 3 verses of Daniel commonly preached that don't exist in the bible.
1) separating verse 26 to include a second figure other than Jesus.
This is a deceptive attempt to add a replacement for Christ injecting antichrist into a text
where it clearly provide no grammatic means to assume so.
2) identifying the second figure as antichrist
Only one figure is mentioned in this verse so no antichrist exist here.
3) replacing the destructive role commanded by Jesus and giving it over to antichrist robs Jesus
of role as Justice against the sin of rebellion.
4) falsely identifying the purpose of the destruction as unwarranted action from an enemy, "antichrist"
The destruction mentioned is judgement due to rebellion.
5) separately identifying ruler, "antichrist" and army when the bible simple say people of the prince.
Based on common misunderstand Daniel 9 a presumption has influenced translations of the bible
and is evident by the changes to this chapter. An attempt to place antichrist in this prophecy and
applied it to future rather than historic. This robs Christ of credit and glory of fulfillment.
6) added some translations provide and object placed in Jerusalem where this ruler with be.
A statue of antichrist. Knowing satan's nature of deception false elements will likely by seen as
evidence that this mis-interruption is actual being fulfilled. It's compounded deception. See the you are
not deceived said Jesus.
7) assuming "the" covenant is a peace treaty or just treaty.
The text clearly say the covenant making it only one possible Jeramiah 31:31
If changed to treaty it might referrer to peace which points to Israel and is all false.
8) providing application of this falsely assumed treat applies only to Israel.
Know the covenant is God's redemption it applies to all mankind!
9) misidentifying the "abominations" plural as singular future event. verb usage "overspreading"
Changing to singular makes it an event in time not actions over time.
10) misidentifying the falsely assumed abomination's purpose as an attempt to defile a temple in the future.
The future abomination's are a re-occurrence of the desire to reassert temple worship. round 2
11) misidentifying / renaming sanctuary as a temple which leads to further false assumption later in revelation
12) providing a narrative where antichrist fills the role of destruction that Jesus performs as judgement communing
referred as in replacement of Christ, which is the reason for the term antichrist in the first place.
13) assuming the 7 years or final week of the weeks total is reserved solely for the tribulation period.
Tribulation will occur, however long it may be this remaining week does not detail it's length.
14) failure to interrupt the final week as the week where Messiah is cut off and confirms the covenant half way.
Messiah preached 3 1/2 years before the cross making it mid week. nothing is required of the remaining half week.
15) Some translations falsely phrase "until the very end." for a time indicator of this prophetic event in verse 26
as just before the second coming. Again derived based on previous presumption's made elsewhere in this chapter.
antichrist and false prophet figures seek to change times and traditions.
16) Some translation force the order of desolate and abomination making one the cause of the other. The desolate occurred
first and the abomination is an act that causes judgement that the desolate becomes the target of. So not timing but relational
in context.
antichrist will play a role in end times. Likely involved with enabling temple construction or rebellion to occur.
However his role is found in revelation. The accused in Daniel 9 are Pharisee and unbelieving Israel of history.
Results of the errors I write about are robbing Jesus the glory for fulfilling this prophecy historically and the execution judgement He completed.
Offering replacement theology of Christ role in this prophecy and enabling people to promote rebuilding a temple and sacrifice resulting in rebellion
again and actually causing the judgement again "Tribulation!" God will allow exploit and chaos to be leveraged against
Israel as a means of refining via fire. antichrist has his role as a vehicle of destruction.
Tempting anyone to commit sin is worse then sinning by oneself. However tempting or promoting others to sin
by means of active rebellion against Messiah is worthy of the greatest punishment, Tribulation globally.
Globally because red heifers' sent from America be gentiles now involves the nation conspiring against Messiah.
His response will match the scale mankind inclines.
I understand the Tribulation period to be in direct response to open active rebellion to rebuild a temple made
of human hands just like the one God destroyed in 70 ad for that reason alone. If the same action occurs in the future
knowing God's nature remains the same, then I know His response will be destruction and tribulation unlike the
world has ever seen before. Just like Ezekiel chapter 5 describes Israel's judgement for rebellion of Messiah the firt time.
Round 2 is going global! And it looks like the church is involved with helping to promote it! I plead repent! Pray!
Thank you. There is a wonderful prophecy playlist on my channel by Chuck Missler.
Another known date, that turns over the hourglass, counting down to the transfiguration and taking of the Church, the seven years of judgement, and the return of our King of Kings and Lord of Lords Jesus the Messiah.
Anderson's calculation locates Palm Sunday as April 6, 32AD. The crucifixion took place during the reign of Pontius Pilate; 26AD - 36AD. It also took place in a year when Passover occurred on a Friday; viz., 30AD and 33AD. If the triumphant entry took place in 32AD, it could not have been followed by the resurrection 1 week later. Anderson's date for Palm Sunday will need considerable effort to reconcile it with the date of the resurrection.
Water Baptism is not an anointing for kingship, so we can not count what John did as anointing Yeshua as king; just like we can not count the woman anointing Yeshua for his BURIAL as an anointing of kingship.
Gary Danhour, can you give an scriptural reference to backup what you have just stated?
The baptism are: Water (Father), Fire (Son), and the Holy Spirit (The spirit we dwell in by hearing the Father and expressing the Son).
This is your interpretation, sir! Give me a literal verse that state any of this concept? Be it from the Tanakh or NT?
Gen 19:24 : This verse is only saying that Yah rained down on them and from heaven did Yah do it. You are only retelling what others have said that it mean.
Here is an example of the same concept:
Kirk paid the light bill, Kirk paid it in full with his credit card from home. Is there 2 Kirk or one? The 1st line that you know what was done and the 2nd from what location it was done.
Ex 19:17-18: Once again this is your interpretation of the text and out what the text states.
Your interpretation can not contradict the literal meaning and all you are saying is your opinion. Give me one literal verse from the Old or New that support your opinion,
Thanks for the build though and plus I am not a novice to what you are saying I was an ordained minister and a Christian for 20 years.
The NT can not contradict what is stated in the Tanakh period. Shalom and thanks for sharing with me.
If the text say one thing and I say the opposite that is not enlightenment.
Baptism is an immersion, so it is simple to be immersed or empowered by Yah's spirit (breathe or wind) and there are examples of that in the OLD & no one had faith or called on the name of Jesus.
One thing that must be understood is sometimes in biblical literature the same object can be spoken of another way, but it is not speaking of 2 different things.
The Holy Spirit and fire can be one of the same.
I am an a follower of the Tanakh only, so I do not put in weight on the NT writings. Shalom and have a good day!
God is a spirit. What type of book would a spirit write? A spiritual book and not literal.
What? When Yah gave the 10 commandments, did He literally want us to physically observe them or spiritually?
Yah gave a spiritual instructions that can be observed literally and physically. How do you spiritual keep the Sabbath, but you literally work when you do not suppose too.
How do you spiritually not steal, but literally do? If your learning or enlightenment literally contradicts the literal meaning how is that correct? Shalom Gary and have a good day.
While April 6, A.D. 32 is on a Sunday, that year Nissan 14, Passover, was on Monday which doesn't work. But, Nissan 14 does begin on Friday (Thursday 6 PM) in A.D. 33. We would have to move the command to rebuild Jesusalem then to March 8, 444 B.C which is tenable.
457 is the date for the decree...444 BC was a simple request which allows one man to return to Jerusalem and then back again to Artaxerxes...457 BC add 483 or 69 weeks and you come to 27 AD Christ started his ministry then, he died in 31 AD then the disciples preached to the jews for another 3.5 years totaling the last 7 years fulfilling the 70
the date is 457 not 444BC for the command to restore and build jerusalem
Jesus died in the year 31 on on a Wednesday!! I can prove it!. Get back with me and I'll show you why !!!
@@DavidKing-qd3sp David I'm still waiting to see how you get the 1844 in the fall from 457 you're not getting to the fall of the Year 27 when you claim Jesus was baptized so you can't get to the fall off 34 either ..why.. because none of this ever happened. The reason why.. your false prophet Ellen,
The year 70, the 70 weeks ended,no gap, Jesus did it all.
Except.. it doesn't tell you that in the Bible! That's you speaking!
@@jimbob1644Yes, it's in the Bible: why should the character in v.27a be a anti-christ when it could be the Messiah, as we all agree he is in v.26a for its clearer language.
Since v.26a is about the Messiah, v.27a should also be about the Messiah, given that the other half of each verse is about the bad character, and this is standard Hebrew double emphasis: besides, v.27a thus prophesies the Gospel of Calvary in all of Christ's glory.
No, we don't need a gap theory: Jesus already it all and asks us to follow him only wherever he leads us to.
The last portion of Daniels 9 sounds like the destruction of the temple while the beginning of the 69th weeks sounds like the messiah Jesus but the time different between Christ and the temple destruction is 40 yrs which again does not align with the seventy weeks. If the messiah is to come in the 69th week where he dies half thru the last week, the narrative does not fit within 3,5 yrs of Christ’s death. If the death of Christ was completely by the 69th week, it’s overshoots the destruction of the temple by 10 yrs , which still does not fit the narrative.
The other problem is, if this was concerning Christ fulfilling a prophecy, why is it not even mentioned in the New Testament that his death was in fulfillment of Daniels 9, just like all the other reference of fulfillment given in z Matthews. This would be the biggest confirmation but it does not refer to Daniels 9 anywhere in the NT… something seems wrong here
Break down each prophecy in this verse and do a study in the N.T. You'll find Jesus fulfilled them all, even the Apostles using the same words at times. The Bible isn't laid out like a modern textbook, answers are found in many places. If it's the truth, Scripture will confirm Scripture.
Daniel 9:24 KJV
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.
Nah it'll come when the verichip is used to replace the current currency, and the world is united on to one ruler, that unites nations under treaties such as in the UN.
not one scripture to show a break in the last week.
All, you said is ,you don't know scripture!
Pastor MacArthur assertion that prophesy should be taken literally all the time is of course incorrect. Just look at the interpretation of dreams and visions by Daniel, Joseph and John in the book of Revelation.
Daniel 9:26...but its end will come through a flood. did the flood that was supposed to happen ever come true?9:26
And after those sixty-two weeks, the anointed one will disappear and
vanish. .... I see no indisputable proof that can be verified by a third party that any of the Prophecies are referring to Jesus of Nazareth, a lot of this is ambiguous and people are reading into things that aren't there. If God wanted to prophesy that Jesus was indeed the Messiah, he should have said something like "the name of the Messiah will be Jesus of Nazareth, he will be crucified on something called a cross during a time in which people called the Romans will be occupying Israel."
Prophecies can always be debated and they always will be and there is no consensus about anything
+Vajina: The t-i-m-e of the coming of Messiah is not ambiguous - u-n-t-i-l 7+62 weeks ie.69 weeks. The One who came at that time, born in Bethlehem, was Jesus [Messiah]. A-f-t-e-r those 69 weeks (in the midst of the 70th week) Jesus was 'cut off' in crucifixion, but God raised Him from the dead. His death and resurrection is the sign of the covenant which put and end to [completed, filled up] sacrifice and offering. The first part of verses 25, 26 and 27 speaks of Messiah. The latter part of each of those verses speak of the city and the temple, which were destroyed by the Roman army coming in like a flood. Yes, prophecies are taken and twisted all ways, but the key is in consistency across Scripture and in keeping Christ as the focus of scripture - He said "In them (the OT writings) you think you have eternal life, but they testify of Me"
rkg62976 (below) is the one who is simply wrong, The 360 day Biblical calendar is the ONLY calendar used in the Bible. It is clearly used in Genesis, Daniel and in Revelation. Further the 360 day year is also used in the book of Numbers. There is a gap... it is completed... and we are living in the season of the seventieth seven.
Daniel's Seventy Sevens (or Weeks)
Correct Reckoning:
70 × 7 = 490
7 × 7 = 49
62 × 7 = 434
0550 BC - 49 = 0501 BC
434 - 0029 AD = 0405 BC
0501 BC - 0405 = 96
1913 AD + 96 = 2009 AD

The covenant is not broken, that is not what it says either. It says that He shall confirm the covenant for seven years, that is he would take seven years to bring the people into the covenant. Jesus spent three and a half years doing that and then He died, so in the middle of the week he ended the need for sacrifices. There is another three and a half remaining which is the tribulation and during that time Jesus once again deals directly with Israel to bring them into the covenant.
The covenant is the agreement the Antichrist makes. For the functioning time of the Temple at the end of Time Daniel 8. The abomination of desolation is always spoken of and every one of these chapters at the end of the chapter. Jesus in Matthew 24 verse 15 told you. To understand this when you see the (abomination of desolation standing in the (Holy place). The people of Judea should flee!( that is at the very end of time). Daniel 8:19 this is not about Jesus Christ! He was not speaking of himself!
@@jimbob1644 what scripture says 9:27 is 'the' antichrist? "Antichrist" is only found 4 times in the bible; all in the new testament. It is a spiritual condition where one denies Jesus is God. I don't see a scripture that says there is an antichrist person who is a political leader. Have you seen what folks like Gary Demar and Kenneth Gentry have said on the topic?
Before that, I used to believe the whole antichrist, covenant breaking, future Israel holocaust thing too.
Take a look bible students, this prophecy is first about Jesus... then about Israel . The entire 70 weeks has been fulfilled by Christ .
All's you said. Is you know nothing about Bible.
In a way you are technically right...but in that case, week = seven. The original meaning of "week" was lost; in that sense at least we are spiritualizing everything and creating totally new notion!
But it's not true what you're saying I've studied this prophecy for 50 years. Even John MacArthur is way off on the interpretation
I can't exegete a pretrib rapture from Daniel 9.
we go through the tribulation, and then we spend 1000 years in heaven, then we come back with christ and he destroys the wicked into - annihilation, and not a pit where sinners burn forever
David King I agree👍🏾

@310revelation Ha, choice words :)
@PeacedBeats I did just that, as you said, and I respectfully decline your misguided theory
You do know no Christians believed the 70 weeks of Daniel wasn't fulfilled in Jesus until the 1800s when dispensationalism was invented? All the reformers were historicists, all the way back to Jesus time.

Hello dear friends,
I see that John MacArthur is using the 445 BC restoration of the walls of Jerusalem's date.
But actually there another date in which the walls around Jerusalem were restored. That date is 1538 AD. Suleiman the Magnificent restores the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and the Jerusalem city walls (which are the current walls of the Old City of Jerusalem). As far as I know these walls are still standing to this day.
There is also another event that happened in 1541 AD. Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I sealed off the Golden Gate to prevent the Jewish Messiah's entrance.
If this Daniel 9 scripture were referring to Jesus, why would they seal off the entrance. Unless there is another to come.
The foundation of the Temple was laid in 520 BC. That seems more like a
starting date for when the command would have been given to rebuild Jerusalem.
Here is my take on Daniel 9:24-27. I believe the command was given in 1538. Once a command or decree is sent out from our Lord it will be stopped until it is finished. A decree can not be stopped for 2000 years then restarted to finish the last 7 years.
Daniel 9:24-27 is unfulfilled. Jesus in Matt. 24:15 and Mark 13:4 tells us to go back and read and understand what prophet Daniel spoke of. I would think it was not referring to Jesus because he was born outside of that 490 year period that was decreed. Plus it says that the anointed one would be killed or cutoff after the sixty-two sets of seven or 434 years but still inside that 490 year decree.
Then there's that seven set of seven or 49 years. Which I think that could be the anointed ones birth and death. 49 years is also a jubilee.
One other idea is:
490 total years decreed
434 years will pass from the time the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem and the
anointed one comes
49 years anointed ones birth and death
7 years are left for the Tribulation
Add them all up and you have a total of 490 years.
In 1538 the walls were restored around Jerusalem along with the Dome of the Rock by Suleiman the Magnificent. If that were a starting date then the end could be 2028.
The anointed one could be cutoff in the year 2021. Leaving 7 years of tribulation.
In Daniel 9:26-27 says that the Anointed One will be killed and after his death a RULER will arise and destroy the city and the temple. Later he make a 7 year treaty. After half that time he breaks that treaty. This ruler is the Anti-Christ.
So there will be an Anointed One here to lead mankind into all truths.
Please let me know what you think.
Peace and love be with you all.
I've studied Daniel for 50 years I know exactly what Daniel 9 is is saying. If you get back with me we'll talk!
So where are the prophecies that add 40 years inbetweel the last 7? You cant just pull stuff out of your hat. We know that the sacrifices ended in 70 ad not 32 ad. You said it was literal not spiritual right?
do u understand the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 and the 2300 days in 8: 14...MacArthur is wrong
David King 2300 days prophecy started from 457 BC to 1844 and the year 1844 is when the cleansing of Heaven’s Temple began. God bless u🙏🏽
@@samueldemessie3845 No it isnt.
All of you said is you don't understand the prophecy...
@@samueldemessie3845 you can't get to 1844 in the fall starting in Ezra chapter 7. It's impossible.. an the 2300 days has nothing to do with what you're telling people that is. Miller was a Loone an your false prophet is the same thing! All you need to do or subtract 457. From 2300
Put you in 1843.. Starting in the spring of the year like it says in Ezra 7:9.. you never end up in the fall of anyting including your 69. Weeks!!
Its a dual prophecy as most prophecies in the bible are. Literal first for the jews then spiritual for the gentile or pagan church.
not a dual prophecy but one that tells the year of Christ baptism and death and the end of the Jewish nation as Gods chosen people at the end of the 490 years which was 34 AD, christ was baptized 27 ad died 31 ad
@@DavidKing-qd3sp If you Yeshua died for all yours future sins then why is it a requirement for you to die on youre own cross?
@@DavidKing-qd3sp the 70th week has got nothing to do with Jesus Christ and it has nothing to do with his baptism either
He's wrong about knowing when the Kingdom comes.
There is no gap and Daniel has been fulfilled!
Learn how to read.
Except you don't know what you're saying. Get wet back with me ,and I can prove it.
Yet you do not explain why God separated the weeks. " there shall be 7 weeks and 62 weeks"
Daniel 9 is all about a jubilee cycle. It's continuous ie: the 69 weeks rightly understood lead us into the 70th week, the final week of the gospel being preached before God brings to an end the "sacrifice and offering". ie the door to salvation is shut - forever.
This harmonizes with Matt13 the dragnet.
Daniel 7 is the time of Jacobs troubles, the great tribulation.
The chapters of Daniel 8 through to 12 are more detail pertaining to Daniel7 giving more info on the 4 beasts to identify during this "time times and half a time", the 1st half of the 70th week.
Eph5:2 confirms that Christ Jesus is the "sacrifice and offering". The wrath of God follows after the resurrection, midweek, after the tribulation.
The wrath of God is the 2nd half of Daniel's 70th week bringing us into the time of the Millennium age.
Daniel 9:27 is the last day. The resurrection, the fulness of the gentiles, the church caught up to meet the Lord in the air. We are counted worthy to escape all these things that are coming upon the earth - nuclear annihilation. Jesus cuts the days short to gather His bride and mark the 144k Jews. The 2nd death will have no power on those who partake in the 1st resurrection. Now judgment and the kingdom are given to the saints as per Daniel7

The Pope of Dispensationalists. This time Eisegesis, not Exegecis.
Macarthur insists that the interpretation must be literal as he has demonstrated in the 69 weeks, But, hang on .. where is his acceptance of the 70 weeks as being literal? No, he detaches the last week and puts in a gap that is just literally not warranted. Literal when it suits him.
+ken bro
Yep…not only this, but he fails to see that the "two witnesses" (Rev. 11), the "woman in the wilderness" (Rev. 12), the "sea beast" (Rev. 13), and the reign of the "little horn" (Dan. 7), which are all said to be for the time period of 1,260 days, is also meant to utilize the day=year principle [just like Daniel 9:24-27 does]…therefore, these things are to be interpreted as *1,260 literal years!*
And, like all Dispensational Futurists, MacArthur fails to see that Dan. 9:24-27 has nothing to do with the 1,260 days/years.
No gap of time in Daniel's 70 week time prophecy.
No association of the 1,260 days/years with the last week of Daniel's prophecy.
Dispensational Futurism is an erroneous eschatological system, plain and simple.
+Ryan Gallmeier Hi Ryan, you need to be aware that altho Macarthur is premillenial he ridicules dispensationalism. Jesus rules in His kingdom now, no need for Him to wait for the cooperation of a given nation. If they didn't cooperate last time, what guarantee is there they would another time?
In what way does MacArthur ridicule Dispensationalism.
He may have criticisms of certain aspects of it, but he is nevertheless a Dispensationalist, especially in his eschatological views.
+Ryan Gallmeier I got that from www.gracechurch.org/sermons/332 at 54m11s he talks about 'wacky dispensational' idea. You are right, his eschatology is identical. Being infatuated with Israel he ends up disparaging the church.. go to his quip at 13m15s. the audience laughed but it is shocking. It is noticeable how little reference he makes to the NT when he is teaching premillenialism. For example at around 59to60m he is talking about rightful glory eventually being given to God THROUGH ISRAEL, whereas Paul says in Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory IN THE CHURCH and in Christ Jesus to all generations [n of the age of the ages] forever and ever. Amen.}
Thanks, ken bro…looks like you and I are definitely on the same page with regard to the errors of Dispensational Futurist eschatology.
John 10..."all religions are nonsens and dangerous and all people who are shouting in my ear about a god or whatever must be departed to Pataleon , a small island in the Atlantic to be
re-educated and preparing for the big rehabilitation in order to create stand-up commedians like me."
Amazing that he got every part of it wrong. Wrong start date, left out the first anointed one at seven sevens (49 years), wrongly assumed the second anointed one is talking about Jesus and gave no end date. I'm sure he thinks the end is still in the future which means the 70th week is almost 2000 years and counting. And he says all of this with a straight face while screaming that prophecy is "literal!" A literal 2000 year gap in the literal 490 year time frame. How can I get a gig like that?
Daniel 9 70 weeks started in 457 BC and Jesus was baptised in AD 27. He was crucified in AD 30. The temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70 Matthew 24:2. Thus Daniel 9 70 weeks was fulfilled about 2000 years ago. God bless u
Samzy Shaq Actually the 70th week or “shabua” hasn’t occurred yet. Only 69 of them have happened. The antichrist has to come before it’s fully fulfilled. Sin has not ended yet. People still sin so the end of of sins will be when Jesus comes back to destroy sin once and for all. We are waiting for that 7 year tribulation period. It won’t happen until the rapture. Read Daniel chapter 9 verses 26 and 27.
Austin Pinkerton No❤️
Samzy Shaq Then when do you think transgressions ended and sin ended? How could sin have ended if people still sin?
Austin Pinkerton The great tribulation lasts for 1335 days. You don’t have to believe me
John MacArthur - does not understand Daniel 9 - the 70 weeks. But because others know even less - they will accept his view...that's why we have different Christian faiths...everybody is a Theologian and Scholar...self-made.
David King, we have 60,001 different denominations (including the 1 Roman Catholic denomination) because God gave man free will and because the church freed itself from a single Bishop who decided that he would rule Christ’s Kingdom in his place and enforce his own opinions on the world on pain of death.
@@biblehistoryscience3530 the reason we have 60,001 denominations is not because God gave us free will - it is because some people rejected obedience to the 10 commandments, and others were just plain ignorant of bible truth---
@@DavidKing-qd3spn, I just remembered that a great deal of it must be due to trollish human nature.
60.000 wow and are there any real scholars, who are we to believe?
@@joecannes2421 if you want to understand daniel 9 ask me for my view - but God gave Isreal 490 years to obey and serve him but they refused and lost their status as God's chosen people to bring the gospel to the world - they were rejected as a nation but not as individuals and in the 490 years christ was baptized - crucufied and then in 34 AD the gospel went to the gentiles
amazing God wow.god maps the time of us here.ezek 4.v6 show day /years.70 ad sacrifice ended .see josephus.the set of popes = 70 ad - 325. this is ¬ he that letteth will let, till he be taken away ¬ then add to.luther = 1260 years or two prophets moses= law ,elijah = prophets dead in latin not english etc. add 30 years =1290 years .of dan ch 12v11. or blessed is he that comes to that time or...now is come the 1000 years of gospel witness and saints have bible in thier tongue and power to witness a long time.easy and plain too see.yes?
The first pope 606 ad, 1260 years solar 1866 loss of last papal state. 1848 lunar years revolutions break out across Europe. Its truly amazing.
@@joshportie amazing how prophecy comes true. 1260 day years is with gospels kept in dead Latin language under popes with power to kill saints
We know that Friday (which begins on Thursday 6 P.M.) began the Passover a.k.a. Nissan 14, Jesus ate the Passover with his disciples in the Upper Room on the Thursday night before his death. So, the year of Jesus' death was the year when Nissan 14 began on Thursday night. That didn't happen until A.D. 33. So the start date MacArthur gives is incorrect.
I respectfully decline this misguided interpretation. Look a verse or two in both directions and this explanation falls apart.
Put an end to and make atonement for sin, bringing in everlasting righteousness? That happened when Jesus died on the cross. See Heb. chapters 9-10. It actually says He put an end to sin Heb. 9:26.
MacArthur has many excellent teachings. This is not one of them. His eschatology is incorrect.
Ok, then what is the correct eschatology?
what do you believe and how did you determine it was true? just a question
