The 70th Week of Daniels Prophecy

[OldRegular]

Well, well, well! In my last post on the thread, The Messianic Kingdom, I predicted that thread would be closed prematurely, and it has been. I was in the process of preparing a discussion of Daniel 9:26, 27 so the only thing I can do is start a new thread.

The theology regarding Daniel’s 70th week is not trivial, rather it is of utmost importance because it is falsely used to support a doctrine of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The significance of correctly understanding Daniel’s 70th week is demonstrated when a member of this BB insists that the anti-Christ will accomplish that which Jesus Christ could not accomplish through HIS propitiatory sacrifice on the Roman Cross. The following was repeatedly posted on the thread The Messianic Kingdom.

These events have yet to occur:
What are the events mentioned:
--to finish the transgression.
--to make an end of sins
--to make reconciliation for iniquity.
--to bring in everlasting righteousness.
--to seal up the vision and prophecy.
--to anoint a most holy place. (vs. 24)

All these events have to do with the Jewish people.
All these events will take place within that 70th week.

I have shown in several previous posts {#’s 116, 239. 240 248, and 260 of the thread, The Messianic Kingdom} that the six conditions listed in Daniel 9:24 were accomplished through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. No attempt was made to rebut those posts.


What does Scripture really tells us about Daniel’s 70th week? Definitely not what the pre-trib dispensational doctrine claims.

Daniel 9:26,27, KJV
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.

Consider the sentence that composes Verse 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. There are two clauses:

The primary clause is: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:.

The secondary clause is: 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.

Consider first the secondary clause. We know from history that the events described in this clause happened in 70AD when the Roman armies destroyed both the city of Jerusalem and the Temple. This was the fulfillment in time of the promise of Jesus Christ in Matthew 24. The people and the prince of that Roman Army are long since dead.

Consider now the primary clause: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: In verse 26 we are told that AFTER 62 weeks Jesus Christ {the Messiah} shall be cut off, murdered, but not for Himself. In verse 9:25 we are told that 7 weeks have already passed so that means that AFTER 69 weeks Jesus Christ shall be murdered. The word AFTER is not an addition but is in the Hebrew text. Most important we know from the wording of this passage that Jesus Christ was murdered by Rome during the 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy. We also know from Scripture that Jesus Christ is not dead, as are those who destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, but that HE lives!

But all this is according to prophecy and in the following Scripture we learn the reason for the murder of Jesus, the Messiah. In Isaiah 53:8 we are told: He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. In Daniel 9:26 we see fulfillment of Isaiah 53, the death of Jesus Christ for the MANY people of God.

Now consider Verse 9:27:

The popular KJV reads: 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.

The very literal NASB reads: And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”

But now consider what the Young”s Literal translation says: And he hath strengthened a covenant with many--one week, and in the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.’

And then there is the translation provided by a BB member in his post #244 from an unnamed interlinear: and he has mastery covenant to the many ones seven one and half of the seven he shall cause to cease sacrifice and present offering and on wing of abominations one making desolate and until finish and one being decided she shall be poured forth on one being desolate.

Notice that the Young’s translation and the interlinear the much abused for is not there. Now an unnamed person says of this addition:

There are many statements in scripture where words are supplied simply to make the statement to read with ease, not all chopped up. This is one of them.

Here is the translation you quoted:
Dan 9:27 And he hath strengthened a covenant with many--one week,
Note: We don't speak that way. It is "choppy." It is more natural to say "for one week," and thus the word "for" (its intended meaning) is supplied.

It is true that translators often add words to make reading of the Scripture easier. However if the addition of those words change the meaning of the Word of God they are wrong. The addition of the word for has been used by people to totally destroy what GOD was saying to the MANY through the prophet Daniel. Perhaps the first of these was a Jesuit priest.

In verse 27 we are told that HE, the Messiah of verse 26, not the long since dead prince of verse 26 as some claim, shall cause a Covenant to prevail with the MANY during the final week of Daniel's prophecy, no reference to Jew or Israel, but to MANY! In verse 27 we are told exactly when HE, Jesus Christ or Jesus the Messiah, shall be murdered, the middle of the 70th week. What is certain is that the slaughter of Jesus Christ in the middle of the 70th week initiated the New Covenant and brought to an end the institution of the provisional blood sacrifice of animals, and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.. That New Covenant was not for one week but for eternity.

Further blood offerings in the Temple by wicked men, complicit with Rome in the murder of Jesus the Messiah, were an abomination before GOD as I have stated many times and as Scripture tells us in Proverbs 21:27: The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

Where did this false doctrine regarding Daniel’s 70th week originate? History tells us:

The 70 weeks of Daniel

As part of the Counter Reformation, the Catholic Church commissioned Jesuit priests to write counter interpretations of Bible prophecy as a counter response to the Protestant reformation when the finger was pointed at them as being antichrist. Spanish Jesuit, Francisco Ribera proposed that the final seven years of the 70 weeks of Daniel was a future antichrist and that antichrist would bring an end to sacrifices in a rebuilt temple. This is where the supposed 7 years of tribulation comes from before the second coming of Christ. But this was manufactured prophecy, written with the sole purpose of deceiving Christians on the true identity of antichrist. When has a Bible passage ever been so abused by Satan? Attributing Daniel’s 70th week of Jesus’ baptism and crucifixion and applying it instead to antichrist is outright blasphemous.

From: {http://www.daniels70weeks.com/index.html}

The mindless meanderings of a Jesuit priest, obeying the Teaching Magisterium of Roman Catholicism, is a sorry teaching to base anything on. But that and the teaching of John Nelson Darby provide the basis for pre-trib-mythology!

Some posters cannot let this scriptures pass because they have no position without forcing an anti christ to be found here.

it is obvious by the closed thread that some posters cannot understand Hebrews is for all Christians either.....so they resort to monster strawman argument s

And then there is this:

Inroads in Protestantism

For almost 300 years after the Council of Trent, this Roman Catholic baby (Jesuit futurism) remained largely inside the crib of Catholicism, but the plan of the Jesuits was that this baby would grow up and finally be adopted by Protestants. This adoption process actually began in the early 1800s in England, and from there it spread to America. The story of how this happened is both tragic and fascinating. As I briefly share some of the highlights, I want to clarify that many of those whom I will mention were (and are) genuine Christians. But is it possible for a Christian to unknowingly become a channel for error? In other words, can a sincere Christian be used by both the devil and Jesus Christ? At first we might say, “Never!” but consider this. In Matthew 16, Jesus told Peter that God was blessing him as he shared his faith in Christ (Matthew 16:15-17), and then just a few minutes later, Peter yielded to temptation and Satan spoke through him! (Matthew 16:21-23) This proves that a Christian can be used by both Lucifer and God, and all within a short space of time.

“The futurism of Ribera never posed a positive threat to the Protestants for three centuries. It was virtually confined to the Roman Church. But early in the nineteenth century it sprang forth with vehemence and latched on to Protestants of the Established Church of England.” [9] Dr. Samuel Roffey Maitland (1792-1866), a Bible scholar and lawyer, became a librarian to the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is very likely that one day he discovered Ribera’s commentary in the library. In any event, in 1826 he published a widely read book attacking the Reformation and supporting Ribera’s idea of a future one man Antichrist. For the next ten years, in tract after tract, he continued his anti-Reformation rhetoric. As a result of his zeal and strong attacks against the Reformation in England, the Protestantism of that very nation which produced the King James Bible (1611) received a crushing blow.

After Dr. Maitland came James H. Todd, a professor of Hebrew at the University of Dublin. Todd accepted the futurism ideas of Maitland, publishing his own supportive books and pamphlets. Then came John Henry Newman (1801-1890), a member of the Church of England and a leader of the famous Oxford Movement (1833-1845). In 1850, Newman wrote his “Letter on Anglican Difficulties” revealing that one of the goals in the Oxford Movement was to finally absorb “the various English denominations and parties” back into the Church of Rome. After publishing a pamphlet endorsing Todd’s futurism about a one man Antichrist, Newman soon became a full Roman Catholic and later even a highly honoured Cardinal. Through the influence of Maitland, Todd, Newman, and others, a definite “Romeward movement was already arising, destined to sweep away the old Protestant landmarks, as with a flood.” [10]

Then came the much respected Scottish Presbyterian minister Edward Irving (1792-1834), the acknowledged forerunner of both the Charismatic and Pentecostal Movements. Irving pastored the large Chalcedonian Chapel in London with over 1,000 members. When Irving turned to the prophecies, he eventually accepted the one man Antichrist idea of Todd, Maitland, Bellarmine and Ribera, but he went a step further. Somewhere around 1830, Edward Irving began to teach the unique idea of a two phase return of Christ, the first phase being a secret rapture prior to the rise of the Antichrist. Where he got this idea is a matter of much dispute. Journalist Dave MacPherson believes Irving accepted it is a result of a prophetic revelation given to a young Scottish girl named Margaret McDonald. [11] The fact is in any case that Irving taught it!

In the midst of this growing anti-Protestant climate in England, there arose a man by the name of John Nelson Darby (1800-1882). As a brilliant lawyer, theologian and Pastor, he wrote more than 53 books on Bible subjects. A much respected Christian and a man of deep piety, Darby took a strong stand in favour of the infallibility of the Bible in contrast with the liberalism of his day. He became one of the leaders of a group in Plymouth, England, which became known as the Plymouth Brethren. Darby’s contribution to the development of evangelical theology has been so great that he has been called The Father of Modern Dispensationalism. Yet John Nelson Darby, like Edward Irving, also became a strong promoter of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture followed by a one man Antichrist. In fact, this teaching has become a hallmark of Dispensationalism.

Dispensationalism is the theory that God deals with mankind in major dispensations or periods. According to Darby, we are now in the “Church Age,” that is, until the Rapture. After the Rapture, then the seven year period of Daniel 9:27 will supposedly kick in and this is when the Antichrist will rise up against the Jews. In fact, John Nelson Darby laid much of the foundation for the present popular removal of Daniel’s 70th week away from history and from Jesus Christ in favour of applying it to a future Tribulation after the Rapture. Hence, in spite of all the positives of his ministry, Darby followed Maitland, Todd, Bellarmine, and Ribera by incorporating the teachings of futurism into his theology. This created a link between John Nelson Darby, the Father of Dispensationalism and the Jesuit Francisco Ribera, the Father of futurism. Darby visited America six times between 1859-1874, preaching in all of its major cities, during which time he definitely planted the seeds of futurism in American soil. The child of the Jesuits was growing up.

So Darby adapted the false doctrine of the Jesuits in his formulation of pre-trib-dispensationalsm!

One reason I have always loved the Book of Hebrews is that it ties everything in the Bible together and enables us to understand things we otherwise might miss!

DHK and his ilk also ignore Scripture like the following!

2 Timothy 3:16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

We have been warned by our Apostle:

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

Romans 11:23, 25, 26

Daniel 9:24-27 from interlinear,

24 Sevens seventy he is segregated on people of you and on city of holiness of you to -to detain the transgression and to -to seal of and to – to finish bring of sins sin and to – to make propitiatory shelter of depravity and to – to bring of reighteousness of eons and to – to seal of visions and prophet and to - to anoint of holiness of holinesses


This is the key to the whole portion here, these things are "segregated on people of you and on city of holiness of you" The people of you Daniel's people and upon the "city of holiness of you" that would be Daniels peoples Holy City and that is Jerusalem.

We go back to the question when have the Jews and Jerusalem seen the following:

to detain the transgression - So you believe the Jewish people have seen the detaining of their transgression as well as Jerusalem?

and to -to seal of and to – to finish bring of sins sin - And you see that the Jews and Jerusalem have see an end to sin.

and to – to make propitiatory shelter of depravity - And you see that the Jews as a people have accepted the propitiatory shelter of depravity that is the sacrificial blood of Christ and it affected the city too?

and to – to bring of reighteousness of eons - And you see that the Jews have righteousness which is everlasting and the city, which the Hebrew word used for Everlasting is "owlam" which means long duration ,antiquity, futurity, for ever, everlasting, evermore, perpetual, old ancient, world, ad you see that the Jews and the Holy City Jerusalem have received these?


and to – to seal of visions and prophet and to - to seal prophecy you believe the Prophecy for the Jews as well as God's promises to them have been sealed and therefore God will not fulfill what He promised for the Jewish people and the City of Jerusalem? What would that make God if He fails to carry out one Promise HE made to the Jewish people and for their, Daniels Holy City?

- to anoint of holiness of holinesses - To anoint the Holiness of Holinesses, you believe that the Holy of Holy's exist today and has been anointed? That would mean that the Temple exist for the Holiness of Holinesses to be anointed it must exist and right now it doesn't exist. But it will in the 1000 year Kingdom.

So do you believe all of this has been "segregated on people of you and on city of holiness of you" that upon Daniel's people thus the Jews as a people and the city Jerusalem?

I have posted what Scripture shows to be true. On more than one occasion I have shown where each of those six conditions were accomplished through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Neither you or anyone else responded. So answer me this! Do you believe the following statement by an unnamed moderator from his post #70 on the thread, The Messianic Kingdom..

These events have yet to occur:
What are the events mentioned:
--to finish the transgression.
--to make an end of sins
--to make reconciliation for iniquity.
--to bring in everlasting righteousness.
--to seal up the vision and prophecy.
--to anoint a most holy place. (vs. 24)

All these events have to do with the Jewish people.
All these events will take place within that 70th week.

I have taken the liberty of bolding the last statement.

You ask a lot of questions but answer none!

Well, well, well! In my last post on the thread, The Messianic Kingdom, I predicted that thread would be closed prematurely, and it has been. I was in the process of preparing a discussion of Daniel 9:26, 27 so the only thing I can do is start a new thread.

Now consider Verse 9:27:

But now consider what the Young”s Literal translation says: And he hath strengthened a covenant with many--one week, and in the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is determined is poured on the desolate one.’

And then there is the translation provided by a BB member in his post #244 from an unnamed interlinear: and he has mastery covenant to the many ones seven one and half of the seven he shall cause to cease sacrifice and present offering and on wing of abominations one making desolate and until finish and one being decided she shall be poured forth on one being desolate.

Where did this false doctrine regarding Daniel’s 70th week originate? History tells us:

The mindless meanderings of a Jesuit priest, obeying the Teaching Magisterium of Roman Catholicism, is a sorry teaching to base anything on. But that and the teaching of John Nelson Darby provide the basis for pre-trib-mythology!

We saw in verse 24 from the interlinear that all these things must happen to the People of Daniel and to the Holy City of Daniel which is Jerusalem and that just has not occurred, now let's pick back up with the interlinear,

25 and you shall know and you shall be intelligent from faring forth of word to return of and to build of Jerusalem until anointed one governor sevens seven and sevens sixty and two she shall return and she is built square and salient and in constraint of the eras

From the command to rebuild Jerusalem until the anonited one comes shall be sevens seven and sevens sixty and two, in others words 69 weeks, that makes it 483 years.


26 and after the sevens sixty and two he shall be cut off anointed on and there is no to him and the city and the sanctuary he shall ruin people of the governor the one coming and end of him in overflowing and until end war being decided ones being desolate.

And after the sevens sixty and two, that is the hinder part of the 69th week the anointed one would be cutoff in other words at the end of the 69th week, the Messiah would be cutoff. Many Bible Scholars have gone back and shown that Christ Triumphal entry, the day we call Palm Sunday, the day in which Christ entered the City and offered Himself as the Messiah, only a few days later He was crucified that is cutoff during at the hinder part of the 483rd year, not in the 486 1/2th year nor was it the 490th year, it was the 483rd year the hinder part of that year and that fulfilled Daniels prophecy.

Then we see that "the people of the governor the one coming and end of him in overflowing and until end war being decided ones being desolate."

The Roman armies came and destroyed Jerusalem A.D. 70 but we must see verse 27 occur,

27 and he has mastery covenant to the many ones seven one and half of the seven he shall cause to cease sacrifice and present offering and on wing of abominations one making desolate and until finish and one being decided she shall be poured forth on one being desolate.

The governor of the people who will come "he has mastery covenant to the many ones seven." That is he makes a mastery covenant over many people for seven years, that is he becomes the dictator over many. But during that 7 year covenant, "one and half of the seven he shall cause to cease sacrifice and present offering and on wing of abominations one making desolate."
This is very clear what we see in Revelation 6-19, the dictator comes presenting peace.
Revelation Chapter 6:2 “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
We see the Horsemen come. The first on a white horse. He has a bow in his hand. A crown on his head. He goes forth conquering and to conquer. The white horse symbolizes peace and victory. The rider is the Beast of the Revived Roman Empire."

This is the governor who comes to make the mastery covenant with many and breaks that covenant of peace 3 1/2 years into it. This cannot be Christ

The above post is comical. You fail to distinguish between the interlinear and your comments. You quote an interlinear which you fail to identify as I have requested earlier.

Just answer the question I posed in my initial response:

I have posted what Scripture shows to be true. On more than one occasion I have shown where each of those six conditions were accomplished through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Neither you or anyone else responded. So answer me this! Do you believe the following statement by an unnamed moderator from his post #70 on the thread, The Messianic Kingdom.

These events have yet to occur:
What are the events mentioned:
--to finish the transgression.
--to make an end of sins
--to make reconciliation for iniquity.
--to bring in everlasting righteousness.
--to seal up the vision and prophecy.
--to anoint a most holy place. (vs. 24)

All these events have to do with the Jewish people.
All these events will take place within that 70th week.

I have taken the liberty of bolding the last statement.

You ask a lot of questions but answer none!

Then you might respond to the Scripture where I showed that through HIS death on the Cross Jesus Christ fulfilled all six conditions of Daniel 9:24!

So if I failed you fail too, several line spaces differentiate my comments from the interlinear, that should be clear to almost anyone.

This is Michigan-Claremont-Westminster Electronic Hebrew Bible, interlinear. Also checked against and they used the BHS,

Now in verse 24 in the strongs based on the BHS the word people is from Hebrew 'am meaning, nation, people, person's member's of one's people, compatriot's, country men, kinsman, kindred, so guess who these things concern, Daniel's national people and his KINDRED. Again you have shown no scriptural reference to where all these things have occurred for the nation of Daniel, that is Israel.
The word tamam used for as in the KJV means to be finished, to be completed, so when has Israel's sin as a nation been completed, been finished?

Then there is the word Kaphar which in the KJV is the word reconciliation, and means to cover, purge to make and atonement, so when was nation Israel iniquity atoned for and therefore forgiven and she restored as a nation?

Then we see 'olam everlasting, perpetual, so when has national Israel ever received a perpetual righteousness?

Then the word chatham to seal, seal up affix a seal, when has Israel had the prophecy concerning all things sealed up, Paul stated God was not through with Her, Prophecy for her must be carried out and literally fulfilled, it has not been sealed up, if so when?

When has the qodseh Holy as the Holy city, and the most Holy, it means several agents are sacred, it can mean the holiness of God, Holiness of places, such as Jerusalem here and of things as we saw in the interlinear, the Holy of Holiness.

Then in verse 27 we see the word beriyth covenant or alliance, or pledge, between men in a treaty, or ordinance between a monarch to subjects, it can also be between God and man thus a covenant with many for one echad has several meanings including one but here is an interesting one, a certain. Followed by shabua, seven a period of seven this is not the word heptad which means sevens of seven, but a period of 7 or a week of sevens. But we are told in the midst that is chetsiy half or middle, he will break the covenant of peace and overspread the obinations he shallll make it desolate even until the kalah consumation in the KJV, means completion or termination, full end. The charat to cut or sharpen used as determined in the KJV, shall be nathak to pour out shamem to be desolate, what is made desolate?

The covenant between the governor and the many, and it involves the sacrifices that are being made. So this again would show that if this is Christ, then HE violates a 7 year covenant or it is the anti-christ who violates the peace covenant and sets up that which completes the desolation of the Temple.

You say it is Christ who breaks the covenant and makes the Holy of Holies desolate. Yet these seventy weeks were to bring Israel as a nation to salvation and complete her having been set aside as a nation, the anointing of the Holy of Holies as we see in verse 24, so which is it to you?

Is Christ going to break a covenant and destroy the peace treaty or is it the anti-christ?

Then you might respond to the Scripture where I showed that through HIS death on the Cross Jesus Christ fulfilled all six conditions of Daniel 9:24!

In the other thread post 143 I did respond to them you just ignored or missed them.

1. to finish the transgression

John 11:46-50, 53

Nothing in this says that Jesus died or would die for the Transgression of the Nation. It says that the city wouldn't perish but it did.

Christ death on the cross paid for the sins of all mankind that is true, all from Adam to present day are saved by the Grace of God through faith. But many of the Jewish people rejected Him, the Promise in Daniel 9;24 says that the Messiah would bring an end of transgression to Daniel's people and to the Holy City, where in John 11 does it say that Jesus accomplished that?

2. to make an end of sins

Hebrews 10:12-14, Galtians 1:4,
All this talks about the end of the sacrifice for sin, not an end to sin, and it specifies all this is for the church believer, nothing about an end of sin for Daniel's people or for the Holy City.
He became the Propitiation for the sins of all mankind that is true, by Grace through faith everyone can be saved if they call upon His name. But the promise was given to Daniel that the end of sin for his People and the Holy city would take place.

3. to make reconciliation for iniquity.

Titus 2:14, Hebrews 2:17,

Again you speak of Him redeeming those of the church all who receive Him, yet agains let me reiterate Daniel 9:24 says it will be Daniel's people and the Holy City which are reconciled to God. Nothing in these verses says anything about the Israelites as a nation or the city being reconciled for their iniquity.

4. to bring in everlasting righteousness.
Romans 3:22, Romans 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:21,

Everlasting Righteous has not come for Daniel's people, it has come for those of us in the church age. His righteousness is imputed into every believer's account. But everlasting righteousness has not come to Jerusalem, nor to Daniel's people.

[Also one thousand years is not everlasting.]

1000 years ends time as we know it for man, then the New Heaven and New Earth, guess who is reigning on that New Earth in the New Holy City, The God Head including Jesus. The same one who will reign on the Throne of David in Jerusalem as promised.

5. to seal up the vision and prophecy.

Hebrews 1:1-4,
you just showed us with this passage dispensations, I thought you didn't believe in dispensations. "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son"

The last point #5 shows how God has progressively dealt with mankind. He dealt with the Jews through prophecy and sacrifice. He deals with us by having the Holy Spirit indwell us and show us scripture.

 

[OldRegular]

where in this thread have you posted scripture where these 6 conditions were accomplished?

I posted it several times in the thread The Messianic Kingdom. Neither you or the unnamed moderator addressed those Scripture. In fact neither of you would answer the following questions:

Originally Posted by OldRegular

1. Are you saying the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross accomplished NOTHING?

2. Was righteousness imputed to you because of your "faith in Jesus Christ"?

3. Is that righteousness everlasting or does it come and go?

 

[OldRegular]

You say it is Christ who breaks the covenant and makes the Holy of Holies desolate. Yet these seventy weeks were to bring Israel as a nation to salvation and complete her having been set aside as a nation, the anointing of the Holy of Holies as we see in verse 24, so which is it to you?

Is Christ going to break a covenant and destroy the peace treaty or is it the anti-christ?

You are using the same slimy tactics that DHK does. That is what you pre-tribbers do. You cannot debate the Scripture you slime those who differ with you.

 

[OldRegular]

The last point #5 shows how God has progressively dealt with mankind. He dealt with the Jews through prophecy and sacrifice. He deals with us by having the Holy Spirit indwell us and show us scripture.

Looking at post 143 it is difficult to see that you responded to anything. Learn to use the quote feature.

You make the same mistake DHK does, you think that the OT is written exclusively for the Jews and no one else. There are several places in the New Testament where OT prophecy is shown to be fulfilled in the Church {Acts 2:15ff and Acts15:15ff.

I show in the OP that the dispensational concept of the 70th week of Daniel is nonsense out of the mind of a Jesuit priest. I also show by Scripture that Jesus Christ died During the 70th week making the offerings of the Jews in the Temple useless. Refute those truths in English!

So explain this:
From the BHS interlinear,

24 Sevens seventy he is segregated on people of you and on city of holiness of you to -to detain the transgression and to -to seal of and to – to finish bring of sins sin and to – to make propitiatory shelter of depravity and to – to bring of reighteousness of eons and to – to seal of visions and prophet and to - to anoint of holiness of holinesses.

Who are the people of you in this passage?

Whose people are they?

So if I failed you fail too, several line spaces differentiate my comments from the interlinear, that should be clear to almost anyone.

Post #10 is revmwc's post. Both of you have posted in red.

Regardless, the thread was closed before you had a chance to respond to the last post:

http://www.baptistboard.com/showpost.php?p=2231411&postcount=261

Part of which is here:

1. As posted in #259, if scripture is not interpreted according to the grammatical-historical method of interpretation, a wrong conclusion will always be reached.
2. If Scripture is interpreted by spiritualizing it, a wrong conclusion will always be reached.
3. If the context is ignored a wrong conclusion will likely be reached.
--These are the problems that are basic to reaching a proper conclusion in the study of this passage and this subject.

First, to lay the foundation, the context must be understood:
Dan 9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision... informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. ...therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.

--It is the angel Gabriel that is speaking to Daniel. He is giving him understanding of things concerning a vision, a vision which speaks of things that will come to pass, a vision which concerns the people of Israel.

Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,
--70 week (or 490 years) are determined upon thy people and thy holy city.
The subject is the nation of Israel, the Jews, the people of Daniel, and their city, Jerusalem. It is not the Gentiles that Gabriel has in mind. It is the nation of Israel, and the nation as a whole.

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.

The most important thing to understand is the context.
70 weeks are determined upon THY people and THY holy city.

Who were those people and whose city was it?
That answer is obvious. Since the people of Daniel are the nation of Israel we know that the following phrases in verse 24 do not have to do with the benefits of the cross nor the imputation of righteousness. They have to do with the fulfillment of promises directly related to the nation of Israel--the people of Daniel.

When one takes away the context of the passage they are bound to come to a wrong conclusion.
