Matthew 24 Revealed: Understanding The Timeline

[klutedavid]

What it gets down to though is the time elements (parts of) the Daniel 9 70th week are in other prophecies of the bible, like Ezekiel 39, Daniel 7, Daniel 8, Daniel 12, Revelation 11, Revelation 12, Revelation 13; and those involve all nations of the world.

Hello Doug.

The prophecies in Daniel 9, are for Israel and the city of Jerusalem, that is what the text states.

Regardless of the subject of any other prophetic passages.

Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.

You are ignoring the text.

That is IRRELEVANT to what Prophecy says will come to pass. We know and understand that Israel is blinded IN PART until they accept Jesus as their Messiah. So if God is going to show us things that WILL HAPPEN, that doesn't have to mean it is pleasing to God. The Anti-Christ Conquering Jerusalem and killing billions is not PLEASING to God, but it is a FACTUAL EVENT that is going to happen so it is in Prophecy.

Why do you try and correlate that which is in PROPHECY with that which God approves of? So thereby your theory collapses, it is irrelevant what God approves of via Israel, because they are back-slidden. It will only matter after they REPENT, then I am sure they will worship Jesus in the Temple, and the Anti-Christ will then defile the Temple. If Israel were till sacrificing animals in the Temple when the Anti-Christ took over, he couldn't defile that which was already defiled !! Israel REPENTS....Thus all Israel is saved. She turns to Jesus before the Day of the LORD (Malachi 4:5-6) because God sends the two-witnesses back before the Day of the Lord (Gods Wrath).

Zechariah 12, 13 and 14 tell the complete story.

Israel Repents Zechariah 12:10 and Mourns for Jesus.............................

Zechariah 13:1 On that day (that they repent) God opens a Fountain (Blood of Jesus/Holy Spirit) for SINS and UNCLEANNESS.......................

Zechariah chapter 14, Jesus lands on the Mt of Olives (Rev. 16 the 6th and 7th Vials) and destroys all of the Nations who have Gathered against Israel at Armageddon.

So we see Israel REPENTS FIRST..........And Receives the Holy Spirit............Then Jesus returns afterwards.

A............B..............C

Nice story.

"Blinded in part" means that some of the Israelites are blinded and part of the Israelites are not blinded.
It does not mean that all of the Israelites are "partially" blinded.

This is not just about Israelites, since the same is true of millions and millions of Gentiles around the world.

Some are blinded to who the Messiah is and some are not.

Someone cannot be "backslidden" unless they are previously "frontslidden".
Since the time of the Exodus a majority of the Israelites have not been faithful to God.
We see in Jeremiah 31:31-34, that the New Covenant was needed because Israel had broken the Sinai Covenant.

The only way you can make your statements above work is by ignoring the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled in Hebrews 8:6-13, and is specifically applied to the Church in Hebrews 12:18-24, and 2 Corinthians 3:6-8.

I am agreeing that the 70 weeks are decreed for Israel and Jerusalem. But that 70th week is 7 years long - which that 7 years are in other prophecies that involve all nations of the world, as well as Israel and Jerusalem.

457 BC ----------------------------------------------> 34 AD
(command to rebuild) ------------------------> (Stephen reviews the whole history of Israel.)


Jer_31:31　 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—


Mat_26:28　 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.


Mar_14:24　 And He said to them, "This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many.


Luk_22:20　 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.


1Co_11:25　 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."


2Co_3:6　 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.


Heb_8:8　 Because finding fault with them, He says: "BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH—


Heb_8:13　 In that He says, "A NEW COVENANT," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.


Heb_9:15　 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.


Heb_12:24　 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

[DavidPT]

Well, first, if the 70 year-weeks, a period of 490 yeras,w as not complete 2000 years ago, then we are up to 2490 years or more, but that wasnt what he said, was it....

Now you say no hsitoric person has fulfilled the prophecy of a confirmation of the covenant?

JESUS confrimed the covenent in the 3.5 years of his ministry and the 3.5 years of outpouring over the new temple, jerusalem before the time was over and it went to all the world...

Let me make this clear from daniel:

This is the prophecy

Remember this is the only other place in the Old Testament where the word messiah as a name for a person is used, the other is psalm 2.

So this is definitly talking about the messiah, or Jesus Christ.
"
Dan 9:25 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.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off , but not for himself."

Lets pause there. This is after the word went out to build jerusalem (not build the wall, nor build the temple, to build jerusalem, this ias a very specific date in the old testament, being exactly 483 years before jesus was baptized in the river jrodan and the spirit came upon him)

So that means the 7 year period, the last period that was measured for gods dealing with the jewish people and the city, started at that point. This was literally at the rosh hashana, in other words at autum.
So what happens now is AFTER the 69 weeks, this is now the last final week:

3.5 years later, the MESSIAH was "cut off". This was in the "middle" of the "week", literally. It is so in the middle it is possible to be. This word has a specific meaning beyong just being dead, it means to "cut" a covenant, with blood. (bereshit) this IS what this messiah did on the cross. It can not ever be denied, i hope all is in agreement here.

THEN it goes on:

"
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."

The prince that shall come, the leader of the destructive army that shall destroy the city and the temple, happened after all this, and was ltierally fulfilled. THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE TWO FULFILMENTS OF THIS. This is ONE prophecy. IT was LITERALLY FULFILLED, and there is no place ti says it will happen voer and over again. In fact, jesus denis the troubles of those times has ever been or will happen again, in the land.
(by the way, i am not shouting with caps lock, im just underlining the main important part)


THEN it goes on to say, the final verse. Follow it carefully:
"
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:"
THis is not talking about the vicked ledaer of the detrucitve army, this is STILL talking about "him" the messiah.

Jesus was SENT to confirm, which is to fulfill, the covenant between god and the jews. He literally say so himself, i have come...not to take away, but to fulfill, the covenant"
That is the same meaning of confirming.
THAT is the hsitoric person taht fulfilled, it is ONE person, it is the messiah, thats what this all is about.

"
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,"

Yes, becasue of what happened in the middle of the final messianic week, which was the cross, the sacrifice was taken away. THIS is the new testament teaching, that the old testament law of animal sacrifice was going to be taken away, becasue god made himself a body. This is best explained in the letter of hebrewsm but it IS a self evdident reuslt of the gospel of the lamb that was slain.



"and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

This final judgtement upon the great city, who is also called egypt, edom, babylon, the great city in which our lord was crucified as John sais it, WAS made desolate, literally, and the temple did not yield stone upon stone.



Conclusion: I hope you all will come to your senses. There are two "gospels". One says a "antichrist" shall come and we all must make sure we will be raptured before he comes and destroys the earth or wahtever. The otehr gospel is, the kingdom is here, and we can repent, and this last rock will grow and grow until it covers all the earth and has destroyed all the other kingdoms, this is ALSO a prophecy in daniel. By the way.

Get a grip on the biblical defintions of antichrist. DO a simple research, lsiten to the bible, not to your church tradition. They made up stories, antichrist has only one definition and its only found in johns letters.

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.


One of the things that must be fulfilled within this 70 weeks is this---Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression.

I would think the holy city is meaning Jerusalem here. And I would think that once the transgression is finished concerning Jerusalem, the following would then be the case.

Zechariah 14:10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.


Let's assume the 70 weeks have no gaps. That has to mean the 70 weeks are fulfilled before Jerusalem is basically destroyed in 70 AD. So how did the transgression against Jerusalem get finished when Jerusalem gets destroyed some years later? Obviously the finishing of the transgression against Jerusalem is meaning a time post that of 70 AD. Otherwise it seems we end up with the events of 70 AD contradicting Daniel 9:24 and the part about Seventy weeks are determined upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression.

To me it makes far more sense to seeing the order of events as such----first the 69 weeks of Daniel 9 followed by the events of 70 AD, followed by the completion of the 70 weeks, IOW meaning the final week, and the end result being Zechariah 14:10-11. This plainly means there has to be a gap between the 69th and 70th week, and by comparing all of the above like I just did, proves it. Otherwise one has to explain how Jerusalem can still get destroyed, not before the transgression against it is finished, but after it is finished. That makes no sense.

Of course its a SEVENTY SEVENS Prophecy on purpose instead of a 490 year prophecy. It was segmented in 7x7, 62x7 and 1x7 for a reason. Some people can see these things and others can't. Jesus said seeing some will not see.

The only way to make that idea to work is by ignoring the time that the Gospel was taken "first" to Daniel's people, the Jews. Why did Christ command His disciples to go to Israel, before the Gentiles, if it was not a fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel?

There is a direct connection between the promise of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:34 and Daniel 9:24 through the word "iniquity" and "sin".
Christ covered our "iniquity" and "sin" at Calvary.
This happened outside the city gates of Jerusalem on a wooden Cross.
He built us a New House out of two pieces of wood and a handful of nails.


Jer 31:34　 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.　


Dan 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.
　

Heb 10:17　 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.　



There is no Plan B of salvation outside of the New Covenant Church under the now "obsolete" (Hebrews 8:13) Old Covenant system, during a future time of 7 years.
I still have trouble understanding why my fellow Christians cannot see the error of the idea.

The New Covenant Church of Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of the Old Testament.
The New Covenant was promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, and is found fulfilled in Hebrews 8:6-13, and is specifically applied to the Church in Hebrews 12:18-24, and 2 Corinthians 3:6-8.
Christ said on the road to Emmaus that the Old Testament was about Him.
This is confirmed by Galatians 3:16.

What about this part then-----and to bring in everlasting righteousness? Let's compare that with something Peter said in 2 Peter 3.

2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Obviously, assuming the 70 weeks were entirely finished in the first century like some of you tend to believe, Peter would have said this post the finishing of the 70 weeks. Why then was Peter still looking for a time, wherein dwelleth righteousness, if everlasting righteousness had already been brought in according to the 70 week prophecy? How can everlasting righteousness possibly be trumped by yet more righteousness at an entirely different time altogether, since the new heavens and new earth are still ahead of us and not already here?

Jeremiah 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.


Since you brought this passage up, this says----for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. I would think this means once this is true, any sins one may have committed in one's lifetime, will never be brought up again. Let's compare that with something Paul told us in the following passages.

Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.


2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Which obviously is the correct order of events?

Romans 14:10-12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10, followed by--- and I will remember their sin no more?

Or, and I will remember their sin no more, followed by----Romans 14:10-12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10?


If it is the latter instead of the former, Romans 14:10-12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10 contradicts---and I will remember their sin no more. But if it's the former instead, there doesn't seem to be any contradiction, because once one has given account of themselves, that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad---it would have to be after this judgment when He officially remembers sins no more.

Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

Luk 21:5　 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,　
Luk 21:6　 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.　
Luk 21:7　 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?　
Luk 21:8　 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.　
Luk 21:9　 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
(Mat 24:6　 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.　)

Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution

Luk 21:10　 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:　
Luk 21:11　 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.　
(Mat 24:7　 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.　)

Luk 21:12　 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.　
(Mat 24:9　 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.)
(Mar 13:9　 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.)
(Act 22:19　 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:　
Act 22:20　 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.)

The text above from the Book of Acts confirms that Paul fulfilled at least part of the persecution of the early Church.　

Luk 21:13　 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.　
Luk 21:14　 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:　
Luk 21:15　 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.　
Luk 21:16　 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.　
Luk 21:17　 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.　
Luk 21:18　 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.　
Luk 21:19　 In your patience possess ye your souls.　

Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem

Luk 21:20　 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.　
(Mat 24:15　 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　) (Read about the festival of Hanukkah in John 10:22 to understand the "abomination of desolation" that occurred during 167 BC.)

Luk 21:21　 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
(Mat 24:16　 "then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.)
　
Luk 21:22　 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.　
Luk 21:23　 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.　
Luk 21:24　 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.　

The Coming of the Son of Man

Luk 21:25　 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;　
Luk 21:26　 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.　
Luk 21:27　 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.　
Luk 21:28　 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
