Daniel 9:26, 27

Grasshopper: "It was after the Disciples preached to the Jews
in the last 3 and 1/2 years that ended the 70th week."

Please justify from a scripture the gap of 37-40 years in
the first half and the second half of the 70th week.

If this 3½-years immediately follows the death of Jesus,
please explaine FROM THE SCRIPTURE the gap of 37-40 years
between the fulfillment of the time and the fulfillment
of the propechy.

I remind you that the pretribulation gap betwen the 69th
and 70th week from 30AD to after 2005 is shown in this scripture:
Romans 11:25 (HCSB):

Ro 11:25 - Show Context
So that you will not be conceited, brothers,
I do not want you to be unaware of this secret:
a partial hardening has come to Israel
until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

(notice the timing word "until")

 

Sometimes people become confused by the several destructions of Jerusalem foretold. In Daniel's day, it had already been sacked by Babylon. Jesus foretold of its destruction by the Romans. It has been under gentile control up till recently ever since it was rebuilt, and is still partially trodden underfoot by the Gentiles. In Jesus' earthly day, Jerusalem and Judea were an almost-insignificant part of Rome, while now, Israel is the major power in the area.

I believe Daniel 9:26 is about the AC, and that he will be of Roman ancestry.(Not necessarily Italian) Ajthough Jerusalem has been conquered and sacked many times from the days of the Jebusites onward, it has never been destroyed so thoroughly as the Romans did it, before or after 70-135 AD.

 

Primitive, I am glad to see you are taking the text at face value. I would like to see the answer to when Christ set up a 7 year covenant with anyone.
