70 weeks

Here is my timeline and dates for Daniels 70-weeks prophecy. Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city… Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and...

Given the importance of Daniel's famous ‘70 weeks’ prophecy, it is sometimes wondered why New Testament authors do not seem to make explicit mention of it. There have been two reasons suggested: The seventieth ‘week’ has been detached from the sixty-nine and is yet future. Therefore, its...

Further to our many discussions from Daniel, I would like to draw attention to how better chronology and sharper dates impact upon prophecy. May we limit this thread to five rarely mentioned aspects: – Daniel's count of ‘weeks’ did not stand alone; they were one and the same as the sabbatical...

Here is my timeline and dates for Daniels 70-weeks prophecy. As you can see, its very similar to the usual historicist view but 6 months earlier. I accept the 457 BC date being Artaxerxes' 7th year (per Hebrew reckoning), but I have some related questions. Question 1 What month of 457 BC do...

Hi, I thought I might share a diagram showing how there was more than one 70-week era, and they were all linked together. When we multiply 70 × 4 we get 280 weeks, and if we multiple 280 × 7 we get 1960 years – not just the 490 usually talked about. Our favorite verse is, “70 weeks are...

The opening post is my response to a common assumption that the Old Covenant ended when the Jewish temple was destroyed in AD 70. There have been several misconceptions concerning the forty-year period between the crucifixion of Christ and the destruction of the Jewish temple by the Romans in...

My first post—thank you for having me participate. I just listened to a well known reformed evangelical teacher in South Carolina preach on Daniel 9.24-27 regarding the 70 weeks. He dogmatically says that the numerics (7, 62, 69, 70) are representational and not specific to real years or time...

Those of us who treat Daniel’s 70th week as consecutive (ie. not separated from the 69 preceding weeks), are sometimes asked, “well, when was it?” Here is the short answer: first day of seventieth week – 1st Nisan (27th March) AD 27 last day of seventieth week – 29th Adar (8th March) AD 34...

No, not Daniel’s - Jacob’s 70 Weeks! I had this bought to my attention years ago when someone mentioned a repeating pattern of 490 years in the Old Testament. His dates were only approximate, but it seemed more than coincidental that three sets of ‘490’ fit nicely between Moses and Christ. I...

A grid exists of weeks, periods of seven years, and multiples of seven that extend beneath the pages of scripture, surfacing briefly inside stories and seemingly innocuous chronologies. The ‘lost’ Sabbatical and Jubilee years are key to this, but finding them requires a careful examination of...

Those of us who believe that Daniel’s seventy weeks are consecutive, and that the cross happened in the middle of the final week, are often asked a question: If the first half of the 70th week marked Jesus’ ministry, what was the purpose of the last 3½ years? And what significant event marked...
