seventy sevens explained
At present, there are many different interpretations of the prophecies of the seventy weeks, which are mainly divided into two types: messianic interpretations and non-messianic interpretations.My interpretation differs from both:
The anointed king refers to Cyrus, and the anointed person is the high priest Aonia III (the original text has an anointed person rather than that anointed person, which refers to it in general and not specifically), and the people of one king are Ibiphoni ( Antiochus IV Epiphanes). The seventy weeks are for Israel, while the universal Christ is for all nations and peoples, that is, the "Son of Man" in Daniel 7.
Seven seven fingers from 586 BC (the fall of Jerusalem) to 538 BC (the first year of Cyrus), and one seven finger 171-165 BC (the persecution of Antiochus Ibiphanes, the Maccabean uprising to clean the temple) , the anointed one who was cut off was the high priest Aonia III, and the anointed king was Cyrus, who was called the anointed one in Isaiah.
The sixty-two weeks refer to the period from 604 BC to 171 BC (after sixty-two weeks, the high priest Onia III was killed in 171 BC), and this period includes those seven weeks. In 604 BC, the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, he and Antiochus Epiphanes were "abominations of desolation".
The sixty-two weeks are followed by "one week", that is, the seven years when Antiochus IV persecuted the Jews, from 170 BC to 164 BC. During these two periods, Nebuchadnezzar and Antiochus IV The world is an abomination of desolation.
The central year of the 49 years from 586 BC to 538 BC was 562 BC, the 398th year before the temple was completed, and the 398 years after that was the year Antiochus IV died. 562 BC was a turning point. In this year, Nebuchadnezzar II died, his son Evi-Merodah came to the throne, and the captive King Jehoiachin of Judah was released from prison.
604 BC is 18 years from 586 BC, and 18 years from 538 BC is 520 BC. In this year, the temple was resumed under the supervision of the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, and it was completed 4 years later. And 4 years before 604 BC is 608 BC, the year Jehoiakim began to be king.
Obviously, the events that occurred around the 49 years from 586 BC to 538 BC have a symmetrical distribution. These 49 years seem to be the most holy place, which is square, and the time before and after is the sanctuary and the tabernacle, gradually stretching to the distance. In 562 BC it was the center of the Holy of Holies. 586 BC, pushed back 70 years, is 516 BC, when the temple was built. Pushing forward 70 years from 538 BC to 608 BC, Egypt appointed Jehoiakim as king of Judah.
538 BC was the first year of Cyrus the Anointed, and Isaiah prophesied: Thus said the Lord to Cyrus the Anointed, I have supported his right hand and made the nations fall before him, and I have held the girdle of kings Loosen, so that the gates of the city shall stand open before him, and shall not be closed: "I will go before you, and make the rough ground smooth. I will break gates of bronze, and bars of iron. I will give treasures of darkness and hidden riches to You, that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel. For Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen, I call you by name; even though you do not know me, I will name you.
The length of time from when Abraham left Haran at the age of seventy-five to when Jacob went to Egypt was 215 years. The Israelites lived in Egypt for 430 years, and from Exodus to 586 BC (the destruction of the First Temple) was 860 years (this It means one year, two years, half a time, the English translation is a time, times and half a time). 860-538+1=323, AD 323, (860 years after the first year of Cyrus) Constantine defeated all political enemies and became the sole ruler of Rome (just like Cyrus became Babylon and King of Persia), the year that there were no idols on the currency of the Roman Empire (Jesus said: "Give Caesar what is Caesar's, and give God what is God's"). During his reign he held the first ecumenical council in Nicaea. Constantine is like Cyrus, Nebuchadnezzar is like Antiochus IV.
430 years later, in 753 A.D., Pope Stephen II and King Pepin of the Frankish Kingdom met in Chierzi-sur-Oise, and under the protection of Saint Zachary in Soissons, Pepin crowned.
215 years later, what happened in A.D. 968:
Holy Roman Emperor Otto I first invaded the territory of the Byzantine Empire in southern Italy - Apulia.
In 968 AD, Vitoslav led an army to invade Bulgaria and occupied the capital of Bulgaria. But soon, it was defeated by the army of the Eastern Roman Empire.
In 968 AD, Itil, the capital of the Khazar Empire, a Jewish country, was captured by the Russian army.
In 968 AD, the Fatimid dynasty occupied Egypt and moved their capital to Cairo.
This year is an important year for both Orthodox and Catholic Churches as well as Judaism. This year coincides with the year Abraham arrived in Canaan. At that time God called Abraham to leave his own people, and at this time the name of Abraham's God was spread among the nations of Asia and Europe.
75 years later (Abraham left Aram at the age of 75), Michael Cerularius became Patriarch of Constantinople in 1043 AD. During his tenure, the church split.
Taking those 49 years as the center, 1505 years before and after each can form the shape of an altar or a pyramid. This is the shape of a sanctuary (central forty-nine years) and extensions of the sanctuary. The amazing thing is that the Star of David is also composed of two equilateral triangles.
Prophecy is not just telling people what will happen in the future, but also revealing some laws. God establishes a subtle time relationship for similar events. This relationship shows the outline of the sanctuary, as does the proportional relationship between the temple and the tabernacle.
According to my calculation of the great flood of 4989 BC, the year that is symmetrical to this year is 4,428 AD, perhaps this is the end time. But perhaps it is the end times that are created in symmetry with Adam. But I prefer the unpredictable end times.
