Today’s
Fallacy of Daniel’s 70th week
What you are reading at this time you will probably never read anywhere
else. You are not going to find the same rhetorical, mundane, jargon
that you’ve heard all your life about the seventieth week
of Daniel. Here at the Voice of Evangelism we cut through the chase
and get right to the meat of God’s word. We read in Daniel
9:25-27, “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. And after threescore and two weeks (69 Weeks) shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince
that shall come shall destory the city and the sanctuary; and the
end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations
are determined. 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 unto the consummation, and that
determined shall be poured upon the desolate”. When we look
back at verse 26 we read and after three score and two weeks, we
all know that when you add the first seven weeks to the sixty-two
weeks you then have sixty-nine weeks. Having established that point
we need to realize that what Daniel was actually saying was after
69 weeks Messiah would be cut off. Daniel did use the phrase, (and
after) the truth is if Jesus, the Messiah was cut off after 69 weeks
we need to understand that he Messiah went into Daniel’s seventy
week. If I were to say to you that you can only come and visit with
me after the 69th day of the year then the earliest that you could
come and visit with me would be on the seventieth day, which would
be after the 69th day. If we look at all the Bible references we
will see that there are no seven year periods to align with this
false teaching regarding the seventieth week of Daniel that is espoused
today meaning that there is still one full week to be full filled.
That is not to say at some point and time the anti-christ will confirm
a covenant with Israel for one week. It is when the abomination
of Desolation takes place that the anti-christ will be revealed
for who he really is. This Revelation is for the church: thus three
times in 2nd Thessalonians Chapter two, we find three references
to his Revelation or to him being revealed, see 2nd Thessalonians
2:3, (revealed), 2nd Thessalonians 2:6 (revealed), 2nd Thessalonians
2:8 (revealed). Now I want to share with you all the locations in
the Bible of the true number of years regarding the reign of the
anti-christ. First let me say as most scholars know and that is
the ministry of Jesus Christ was only 3 &1/2 years. That is
why the anti-christ will only get 3 & ½ years for Jesus
himself already got the first half of Daniel’s seventieth
week. Remember it is after 69 weeks that Messiah is cut off. Thus
Jesus went into the first half of Daniel’s 70th week. Please
read Daniel 7;25, Daniel 12:7, Revelation 11:2, Revelation 12:6,
Revelation 12:14, Revelation 13:5. Needless to say there are seven
scriptures that speak of only a 3 &1/2 year period.
