Maybe im confused.. after all this prophecy isnt just crystal clear. In daniel 9:24 70 weeks are determined... 70 weeks being 490 years are determined upon the people. Included in this span of time will also be the coming of the messiah. Which is seven three score and 2 weeks = 69 weeks into the prophecy. Leaving one week to complete the 70 weeks.
Yeah that's correct - here's what it says:
"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." Daniel 9:24
The first seven weeks were for the rebuilding and restoration of Jerusalem. The next sixty-two weeks marked the baptism of Christ - the Messiah. In the midst of the last week He was cut off. So, yes the anointing of the Most Holy Place did take place during the 70 week prophecy.
If the annointing of the most holy was to take place within the 70 weeks as daniel 9:24 confirms, then christ would have had to annointed the mh within seven years of his ascension to heaven.
The seven years were alloted for the restoration of Jerusalem:
"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." Daniel 9:25
I've colour coded the pattern to make it a bit clearer (there is a technical term for the structure but it's slipped my mind
)
So: 7 Weeks - Restore and build Jerusalem 457 B.C - 408 B.C
62 Weeks - Until Messiah the Prince - 27 A.D
Ok, so what does annointing the mh include? If he was to annoint the mh, then recede into the holy place, im sure their is a type of that from the preist going into the earthly tabernacle..annointing the mh..and also receding to the holy place..if someone could inform me of where thats at in the o.t. i would love to look at it. I suppose i could search my self and i might, however if someone knows i would appreciate the specific verse in which they consider the type
Yeah sure.
As in the type:
"
And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;" Numbers 7:1
"
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood....moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry." Hebrews 9:18, 21
So in the antitype:
"
By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;" Hebrews 10:20
This consecration/inauguration was just as in the type: the
whole sanctuary including the MHP was anointed and sanctified before the yearly sacrifices began. So Christ inaugurated the Heavenly sanctuary before He began His intercession in the Holy Place.
