and Mark informs us that the message at the tie of Christ was "the time is fulfilled" being that Daniel 9 timeline of 490 years at the 483 year point (end of 69th week start of 70th week) where Messiah the Prince begins His earthly ministry - it is much more direct to stick with the historicist model.
There's the interpretation mistake right there.

It is 7 weeks and 62 weeks unto messiah. Not unto the messiah begins His earthly ministry.

The messiah arrives in Jerusalem at the end of the 62 weeks (69 if the 7 weeks is included) and is
instantly cutoff. As it turned out 4 days later. Both events essentially after 62 weeks (69 if the 7 weeks is included).

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.

Daniel 9 says there is 70 weeks of years - 490 years - your post completely omits the 70 weeks of years timeline and only speaks to the segments of that one single 70-weeks-of-years timeline because you no way of claiming it to be a 70 weeks timeline not even 490 days or 490 years. Thus avoiding the problem of having to describe it as 490 years, or 70 weeks of years. The very detail in the text is 70 weeks.

A 490 year timeline does not work at all - if one is going to insert gaps of unknown lengths of time into it...

obviously.
Sin is still in the world, so no, it is not finished.

Messiah "the anointed one" - Christ is anointed at His baptism when the Holy Spirit descends as a dove upon Him 27 A.D. so that is the 483 year point in the 490 years. Then 3.5 years later He is crucified. 31 A.D.

Daniel 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.

Hmmmm----that is the very last thing listed, but that some of you have this being an event that is fulfilled before any of the other events listed in that verse are even fulfilled. Maybe the angel was confused at the time and meant to mention that part first, not last?

Messiah is derived from a hebrew word meaning anointed. The kings and priests of Israel were anointeds. As well, as Cyrus of persia. Anointed for what? To carry out God's purpose in some way.

"the" messiah in biblical framework is one specific person to be anointed the King of Israel, descended from king David.

Jesus did not arrive in Jerusalem as the messiah until he rode into Jerusalem riding the donkey, and hailed as the King of Israel, who comes in the name of the Lord.

Jesus was chosen to be the King of Israel before the foundation of the world.

Daniel 9, the 70 years are associated with Jerusalem, regarding "unto messiah". Jesus was not baptized in Jerusalem, but in the Jordan river. The starting point of unto messiah is in regards when he hailed as messiah riding into Jerusalem, hailed as the King of Israel (messiah), in the text of John 12:12-15.

The 2300 days of the Daniel 8 vision of the little horn, time of the end, can only fit with the 7 years of Daniel 9:27 because the little horn person will be broken by the Prince of Princes in Daniel 8:25.

______________________________________________________________

btw, the Pope(s)/Papacy cannot be the Antichrist because he is not qualified to be the King of Israel.

The "Anti" Christ, who them in 1John2:18 of John's day who had already heard was coming, is the Antichrist only while he is in the position as the King of Israel, but coming in his own name. At other times, before and after, he will be the King of the Roman empire in the end times, i.e. the EU.

Christ means messiah - from John 4:
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

Christ as the King of Israel - from Mark 15:32
32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

Dan 4:16 is a non-apocalyptic dream where " seven times" (seven years) passed over Nebuchadnezzar while he was as an animal/cattle in the field.

Rev 11 and 12 tell us that 42 months = time(1) times(2) and half time(.5) = 1260 days.

And that means 30days/month 12 months/year. So then 3.5 times = 3.5 years = 42 months = 1260 days.

Where all apocalyptic timelines in Dan and Rev use day for year. So then that time.times.halfTime in Dan 7 and Rev 11 are 1260 years of the dark ages.

Revelation 11:1-2-
1...Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2-But the COURT WHICH IS WITHOUT THE TEMPLE LEAVE OUT, and measure it not; for
IT IS GIVEN UNTO THE GENTILES: and the Holy City shall they tread under foot forty and two months. -1.260 days -

What will be the SCENARIOS in Jerusalem- called SPIRITUALLY Sodom and Egypt- when the OUTER COURT of the temple be trodden by the Gentiles
in days to come, or very soon, as is written in the verse 2 above?

This will happen as soon manifest himself the Beast from the earth like a lamb, but he speaks as a Dragon, actually a false lamb, evidently-Revelation 13:v.11. The Jews are waiting the manifestation of their peculiar messiah, not JESUS -
John 5:v.43-47 - CHECK IT OUT.

By the way, the false messiah, the false Christ, who is the Dragon, he will give to the Beast of sea, a Gentile Beast-that is the Pope- yeah,
the false messiah will give to the Pope his Power, and his Seat, and great Authority -Revelation 13:v.2-, then will fulfill LITERALLY the first two verses of Revelation 11, the COURT WHICH IS WITHOUT THE TEMPLE will be trodden by the Gentiles.

The scenario in Jerusalem, the holy city, will be of human upheaval, the environment in the holy city will be of EXTREME convulsion evidently,
multitudes of people and kindred and tongues and nations will travel to Jerusalem, a strong tourist movements from all nations, mainly religious tourism from all religions and evangelical churches of all denominations, and sects, and they will travel to Jerusalem, multitudes will be circling in holy city. Even the Pope will meet the false messiah in the midst of a great human mass of religious people, in fact a strong religious movements towards Jerusalem.


All kind of communications, the media in general, will show and comment the great signs and lying wonders of the esoteric and spiritist and kabbalistic messiah of the Jews, understand? And they will show to the whole world, mainly the channels of television of the whole world, and SIMULTANEOUSLY, many Ministries and Ministers of all denominations and sects, and all religious leaders of all religious system that exist, yeah, they all will comment and preach at the four corners of the earth saying that Christ is in Jerusalem.

Then the whole world will hear by/through MANY leaders of the evangelical Churches and non evangelical too, that that MAN is the Christ or messiah. - A FALSE CHRIST OF COURSE - .

JESUS warned saying that the manifestation of false Christ is a signal of his COMING, and also of the END of the world: Matt.24:v.4-5.

Get ready, yeah, get ready. Revelation 11:v.1-2 will fulfill LITERALLY very soon.

THE FIRST SCENARIO TO BE SEEN IN JERUSALEM

In fact what will happen is that the pseudo messiah will manifest himself in the holy city in short future. The supposed messiah,the son of perdition, as soon as that MAN MANIFEST HIMSELF AS A MESSIAH
(John 5:v.43) in the days to come-The Jews are waiting the manifestation of their peculiar messiah, not JESUS - then he will begin to make great signs and lying wonders, even will make fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men in the sight of the Beast of sea - the Pope and his religious followers - saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the Beast, which had the wound by a Sword, and did live, deceiving them that dwell on the earth by the miracles which he has power to do.

THEN A SECOND SCENARIO WILL BE SEEN IN JERUSALEM

All kind of communications, the medea in general, will show and comment the great signs and lying wonders of the esoteric and spiritist and kabbalistic messiah of the Jews, understand? And they will show to the whole world, mainly the channels of television of the whole world, and SIMULTANEOUSLY, Ministries and Ministers of all denominations and sects, and all religious leaders of all religious system that exist, they all will comment and preach at the four corners of the earth saying that Christ is in Jerusalem. Then the whole world will hear by/through the leaders of the evangelical Churches and non evengelical too, that he is the Christ or messiah. - A FALSE CHRIST OF COURSE -


AFTER THAT, A THIRD SCENARIO WILL TAKE PLACE IN JERUSALEM
The third scenario in Jerusalem, the holy city, will be of human upheaval, the environment in the holy city will be of EXTREME convulsion evidently, multitudes of people and kindred and tongues and nations will travel to Jerusalem, a strong tourist movements from all nations, mainly religious tourism from all religions and evangelical churches of all denominations, and sects, and they will travel to Jerusalem, multitudes will be circling in holy city. Even the Pope will meet the false messiah in the midst of a great human mass of religious people, in fact a strong religious movements towards Jerusalem.

These will be the FIRST THREE scenarios in Jerusalem during 42 months or 1260 days, as soon as manifest the false messiah in Israel, enthroned in Jerusalem, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt.Thus will fulfill LITERALLY what is written in Revelation 11 and 13.

No text says that sin would not be in the world after Christ came as the Messiah.

24 “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and for your holy city for putting an end to the transgression, for making an end of sin, for forgiving iniquity, for bringing in everlasting justice, for setting the seal on vision and prophet, and for anointing the Especially Holy Place.

What does it mean make an end of sin?

Sin will come to an end at the 7th Trumpet.

Revelation 10:5-7
5 Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted his right hand toward heaven
6 and swore by the One who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: “There will be no more delay;
7 on the contrary, in the days of the sound from the seventh angel when he sounds his shofar, the hidden plan of God will be brought to completion, the Good News as he proclaimed it to his servants the prophets.”

God's plan will be completed. The one from Daniel 9:24

The angel above had said the same things millennia before, and now the prophecy will fulfill LITERALLY:

Daniel 12:v. 5 to 7


5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Aleluiaaaa!

What does it mean make an end of sin?

Some say -- It means to fill up the cup of sin and rebellion that is the probationary time for Israel so that they either accept or reject the Messiah.

All aspects of Dan 9 explicitly listed in the NT - not a matter of guesswork.
1 Thess 2:15-16 points to that fulfillment in the NT

15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, 16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost.

Matt 23:31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.

31 So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.
..
35 so that upon you will fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.


Notice also that the opening statement predicts that Daniel’s people (which everyone takes to be the Jews - and so do we) "finish the transgression and make an end (as in seal up) sin" (nasb).

We see a similar prediction regarding those living in the land of Canaan in the days of Abraham Genesis 15:16. God tells abraham that he will not be given the actual land that he is promised for over 400 years "for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete".

Matthew Henry
Dan 9
“The seventy weeks mean a day for a year, or 490 years. About the end of this period a sacrifice would be offered, making full atonement for sin, and bringing in everlasting righteousness for the complete justification of every believer. Then the Jews, in the crucifixion of Jesus, would commit that crime by which the measure of their guilt would be filled up

=============================== others say this

Adam Clark's Commentary says this about it:

II. To make an end of sins; rather ulehathem chataoth, "to make an end of sin-offerings;" which our Lord did when he offered his spotless soul and body on the cross once for all.

And of course : Heb 10:4-12 points to the fulfillment and end of animal sacrifice sin offerings.

Daniel 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.

All vision and prophecy regarding Israel completed in that 490 year timeline that ends in 34 AD.

The cup of sin and iniquity filled up - complete full. Their time of probation like the Amorites completed. Gen 15:16

You know more about it than Daniel wrote. Daniel ended at the 69th week, no matter how you leave it solid.

"And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off"

That is 62. Not even 69 or 70.

When were the scriptures changed that should say, "After threescore and 10 weeks"?

Yes, there were over 490 years, even before the Baptism of Jesus. There were still over 490 years 3.5 years later. The decree went out in 539, during the last year Daniel lived. Now anyone can say this decree or that decree, and try to fit it to a T. 49 years after the decree, there was a halt. 434 years after work started back up, Jesus lived, was baptized, died on the Cross, and rose from the dead.

40 years later the Temple was destroyed.

That was 1951 years ago. We still sin. And to claim otherwise is just deceiving one's self.

The Cross and the Atonement did change life for Daniel's people. That fact is certain.

15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms OF THIS WORLD -world of Devil - are become the kingdoms of OUR LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

18 And the nations were -will be - angry, and thy wrath - GOD'S WRATH - is come, ...

No he did not since he specifically mentions the "midst" of the 70th week and also introduces the entire timeline as a 70 week (weeks of years) timeline.

This detail is irrefutable.

It is also an addition to the Scriptures, as you did not give a verse where it defines the 70th week. The 7 weeks and 62 weeks are defined. After 69 is 70, but Daniel did not say Jesus would live and die in the 70th week. He also does not say a 70th week will happen when Jesus comes to earth a Second Time. There is no verse that states, "the 70th week...." the verses claim "after the 69th week...." We live after the 69 week and that is as defined as Daniel states.

Daniel 9:v.27 defines crystalline the 70th week.

27 And he
(he who? the Wicked, he would be revealed in his time because) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week - WEEK 70TH -: and in the midst of the week he (he who?) shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease - yes, but there is an important detail: only he who now letteth will let - the restraining - , until he be taken out of the way -2 Thes. 2:v.6-7 - and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the CONSUMMATION - i.e. UNTIL THE END OF 1,290 DAYS -Daniel 12:v.11, i.e. from the END of the FIRST half of the week (the midst of the week) to the END of the 2nd HALF of the week- - and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Daniel 12:v.11-12
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the ABOMINATION that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.- 1,290 days


12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. HERE THE END OF THE TWO COVENANTS - The Old and New Testaments - and also of the CARNAL ISRAEL-the earth (or the clay, or dry land) - 2 Pe.3: v.7.

Matt. 24:v.3 and 15

3 ... the disciples came unto JESUS privately, saying,
Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

15 When ye therefore shall see the ABOMINATION of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Brian Mcnamee: no prophecy is of any private interpretation and your speculation is like many others that have come and gone before it a private interpretation that makes a little sense that will fail.

JS: Please explain why my and my husbands understanding of this scriptural passage "makes a little sense".

Brian Mcnamee: All these prophecies in Daniel and Revelation talk about the events leading up to the 2nd coming. In Rev the beast is given 42 months. In Dan 12 from the abomination of desolation we are told 1290 days to go. Now the term a time times and half a time occurs also in Dan 7 and again it is in reference to the coming of the kingdom and a pompous guy is raised up who will persecute for that length of time and he is destroyed and given to the flame when the kingdom comes. This is exactly what happens to the beast who is also persecuting for 42 months then the kingdom comes. Now in Dan 9 the 70 weeks talks about the sacrifice being taken away in the middle of the week so if the week is 7 years the middle would be with 42 months to go. This view can be extracted from the scripture without being a private interpretation.

JS: our interpretation also links to the second coming so this is a non-issue. That the beast is given 42 months is not argued just why its link to this passage. One rule of Biblical interpretation is that the passage explanation or illumination is usually with the same chapter or the one next to it (since chapters were created by interpreters, the originals were not in chapter form).

Our interpretation links back to the star sign in the same chapter and the woman Israel who was in the star sign links to time, times and a half time, in fact the star sign's latter image that played out during the High Holy Days in 1999, matches the flood that follows the passage we quoted. Further, nothing in that text says times is two! times is merely greater that time!

So hopefully this helps explain our position a little more clearly.
As always, context is KING. Daniel first was told of the final or 70th week or a week of years - the years being prophetic years of 360 days per year. He was told an evil ruler would rule for time, times and half of time, or one year, two years, and a half year.

John confirms what Daniel wrote, showing the last half of the 70th week 5 different times and in three different ways.
42 months of trampling
1260 days of testifying
1260 days of fleeing
Time, times and half of time of supernatural provision
42 months of authority.

Each of these shows us the last half of the final week. God, it seems, wanted to be SURE we get it. Yet, still many do not.

What does this mean? Each of these is a COUNTDOWN from the midpoint or near the midpoint to the end of the week. In other words, while the Beast's 42 months are counting down, those who fled for 1260 days will be fleeing and will be supernaturally fed and protected, the two witnesses will be testifying, and the city of Jerusalem will be being trampled by Gentiles.

tw, the Pope(s)/Papacy cannot be the Antichrist because he is not qualified to be the King of Israel.

Whats that Douggg? Why do you preach that false interpretation? Since now and until the end of the first half of the last week - the 70th week - the whole material and spiritual structures of the ancient and idolater Roman Catholic Church, leaded and guided by the Beast of sea- the Papacy - with headquarter in the Vatican City built on 7 hills - Rome - Italy -, make part of the satanic kingdom of Devil- Matthew 4:v.8-9 - yes, spiritually and also materially.

How can you say the religious satanic structures of "the Papacy cannot be the Antichrist" if IN FACT are already Antichrist; the religious and satanic structures of the great harlot were used to persecute and kill our brothers in Christ, their idolater cults, and dogmas of the Popes, and the name of blasphemy used by them, all their religious system are full of idolatry and witchery and works for the Enemy, for the Devil.


What you are preaching is reproved by the Word of GOD. The Word is GOD. Unfortunately you are working for the Antichrist's kingdom with interpretations like that you posted. Please, Douggg, stop to preach your Antichrist's theory, throw it in the trash.

P.S.
When the main head of Antichrist's kingdom, the fifth and last satanic kingdom-Daniel 2- ruled by the little horn, the Dragon, actually the red Dragon, yeah, when he gives his Power, and his Throne and great Authority to the Pope-Revelation 13:v.2 and 5 combined with Revelation 11:v.1-2 - there will be a fusion between Catholicism and the esoteric, Kabbalistic and spiritist Judaism, and the Pope will be the first to rule the FIRST half of the 70th week-Revelation 13:v.5. Only the second half will be leaded by the main head of Antichrist's kingdom, and it is he and his people that is

linked to the ten horns that shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the Beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

I am looking at that 1335 year span appearing to end on 1843/44.

Oh the mysterious day 1,335 - Daniel 12:v.12

Time is ticking, ticking, ticking; see, don't sleep, but if you're already asleep, wake up, and take in mind that each passing day we are personally closer to JESUS. See how near He is. See, it is certain that the day of JESUS 'return is very very close. In my understanding it is the mysterious day 1,335 - Daniel 12: v.12- i.e. 45 days after the end of the Abomination of Desolation of 1,290 days as was prophesied by Daniel - Daniel 12:v.11 combined with Daniel 9:v.27, both verses of revelations direct us to the majestic and indescribable event of the return of JESUS.

We are going to meet JESUS, and He is coming to meet us, in time and space. So, each day that passes, He gets a little closer of the meeting point, and we who are in the way also get a little closer to Him, and the gap between us and JESUS decreases, and the moment will come when JESUS and we will arrive at the indicated time, place and space, as He combined with us, i.e. to be at the exact time and place of the glorious meeting. Hallelujah! JESUS said: John 14:v. 1 to 4

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

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.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Matthew 25:v. 6
At midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes;go ye out to meet Him.-It is necessary to have initiative-

Revelation 19:v. 5 and 7 to 9
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our GOD, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come,

Note:
Oh yes, but first it is necessary to change clothes, that is, put on clothes especially for this great and wonderful event, as follow:

Verses 8 and 9

8 And ... was granted that ... should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 ... Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. ...These are the true sayings of God.

Get ready, be ready. Praise GOD.

P.S.

if someone is looking, and is busy for focuses other than the return of JESUS, he will realize the mistake he is making very soon, and will cry bitterly.


It is good, but it is not enough to have only the lamp...

Revelation 12 - the seven years.

1260 days + the war in heaven (second heaven) time + time/times/half times = the 7 years.

Revelation 11 - the seven years.

1260 days + 3 1/2 days + 42 months = the 7 years.

The cosmos, universe, are the second heaven - i.e. the place of the stars you look up at night and see in the sky when it is clear.

When Satan and his angels are cast down to earth from that realm, it says that the will have no place there any more. v8 is talking about the second heaven. Which, later, at the end of the time/times/half time will be pulled aside like the curtain on a stage, rolled up like a scroll.

JESUS said: Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

Who believes in the things you write, actually in nonsense you write, he is in danger of going into the abyss.
