Many of today’s false prophets teach that the’ 70th week’ of Daniel’ is the prophecy of a ‘7 year tribulation’. They also claim that an ‘antichrist’ will make a covenant with the Jews and allow them to rebuild their temple… Then the ‘antichrist’ will supposedly break the covenant midway through the seven years (after 3 and a half years,) and take over the temple for himself. He will then ‘sit in the temple, pretending to be God’ and deceive the whole world... This is a fable of epic proportions-and it is absolutely false!
The ‘70th week of Daniel’ is not a prophecy of a ‘7 year tribulation, nor is it a prophecy of ‘an antichrist’ making a covenant with the Jews. It has not been ‘delayed’ either! The fact is-the 70th week of Daniel has already taken place and it is a very simple prophecy to understand when compared with scripture...
Jesus Christ ‘confirmed the covenant with many’
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.
Gal 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Mat 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Jesus death for ‘many’ was the last sacrifice. When Jesus died the veil of the temple split in two, ending the sacrifices and oblations...
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.
Apostle Paul explains it in Hebrews 9:
Heb 9:8 The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Heb 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Jesus ended those ‘gifts and sacrifices’ with His sacrifice. As the scriptures say... ‘there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins’. Jesus confirmed this covenant 'with many'. A delayed last week of Daniel is a fable.
Lets look at it in more detail...
First, a total of 70 weeks are determined (decreed) upon the people. God did not lie...He gave them 69 weeks to get ready for the Messiah… He also said it would be fulfilled within 70 weeks:
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.
Dan 9:25 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.
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.
It says very clearly-after the 69th week shall Messiah be cut off (the ‘7 weeks’ comes before the 62 weeks for a total of 69 weeks). That would make Jesus being 'cut off' in the 70th week. This prophecy has nothing to do with ‘an antichrist’ or a 7 year tribulation. The ‘cutting off of the Messiah’ is the confirming of the new covenant.This prophecy has to do with the first coming of Jesus Christ and the warning for them to get their ‘house’ in order or suffer the consequences. To ‘delay’ the last week would also ‘delay the cutting off of the Messiah’ and the covenant that Jesus made…Now-how was it done in the 'middle of the week'?
The ‘middle’ of the week
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.
• The word ‘weeks’ in the '70 weeks' in Hebrew is ‘shabua’ which means is ’sevened’ or a week of years- making each ‘week’ a 7 year period.
• This means that the last ‘week' of Daniel is seven years.
• The ‘middle of the week’ would be 3 1/2 years- which is how long Jesus ministry was, (this is not a coincidence) and then He was cut off (crucified).
• Jesus was crucified in the middle of the ‘70th week’ confirming the covenant:
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.
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
The seventy weeks has been fulfilled by Jesus- Do not be deceived by false prophets! There is more to this prophecy. There will not be another temple by the Jews. Jesus made their ’house’ desolate and Daniel says that the temple would remain ‘desolate’ until the consummation (the marriage):
Luk 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
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.
Then ‘that determined shall be poured upon the desolate’ is when the Holy Spirit is 'poured upon' Jerusalem:
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen
Another important thing to understand about end times, is the battle of Gog and Magog. It does not happen until after the thousand years-when Satan is let out to deceive the nations one last time:
Rev 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Jesus reigns for a thousand years with the saints and then Satan brings his army against ‘the camp of the saints’:
Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about,and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Satan and his army attack the ‘camp of the saints’ while the saints are reigning on Earth with Christ, at the end of the thousand years. You won't see the Gog and Magog war happen unless the thousand years has already passed. The 'Ministers' and 'Preachers' who teach these theories are making millions of dollars off unsuspecting people who lack knowledge. It is time we take a stand and shut them up.
Folks it is time to put away the books and movies...and go back into the Bible while there is still time,
The 70th week of Daniel and a 7 year tribulation do not hold up to Bible scrutiny..There is much more proof that a delayed 70th week cannot happen nor is it scriptural...Please give this PDF a read. It destroys the 7 year tribulation/ pretribulation rapture theory, and many other false teachings as well..
