Yes, Luke 24:44-48 agrees with what Paul wrote.Do you think your answer above agrees with what Paul said below?
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
When was the gospel taken first to the Jews, and how long was this period of time?

The prince who shall come confirms the covenant for 7 years.Matthew 26
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
The New Testament was already extant. It was confirmed by Jesus at His death, in fulfillment of Daniel 9:27.
The gospel of Salvation is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him crucified for the propitiation of sins, and that he rose from the dead on the third day.I'm having trouble following your answer to BABerean2's question. He asked:
"when, and how long, the Gospel was taken "first" to the Jews, as described by Paul in Romans 1:16?"
Conflating the Gog/Magog attack with Armageddon, is quite wrong. All of Ezekiel 38 to 39 refers to G/M.And that the 7 years following Gog/Magog is the same 7 years before Jesus's return in Ezekiel 39:21-29, with the battle of Armageddon in Ezekiel 39:17-20.
What do you mean by "conflating"?Conflating the Gog/Magog attack with Armageddon, is quite wrong. All of Ezekiel 38 to 39 refers to G/M.
The G/M attack must be before the final 7 years, they cannot be parallel.
The prince who shall come confirms the covenant for 7 years.
Jesus spoke those words of Matthew 26:27-28 at the last supper he had with the disciples on the eve of his crucifixion.
So what you are talking about has no connection with confirming the covenant for 7 years.
The error you are making is thinking that the New Covenant in Christ is the covenant in Daniel 9:27.
And not acknowledging that Moses had made a requirement to confirm the Mt. Sinai covenant for 7 years in Deuteronomy 31:9-13.
And that the 7 years following Gog/Magog is the same 7 years before Jesus's return in Ezekiel 39:21-29, with the battle of Armageddon in Ezekiel 39:17-20.
The 70 weeks are 70 shmitah cycles, which the 70 years of Babylonian captivity are 10 shmitah cycles that the land was to get its rest. The shmitah cycles are part of the Mt. Sinai covenant.The prince who shall come was Messiah the Prince, the only Individual identified as a prince in Daniel 9. He confirmed His Everlasting Covenant "with many" of the Israelites for seven years.
Yes, His Blood shed "for many", echoing Daniel's words.
One and the same covenant, an inspired prophecy and a divine fulfillment.
The error you are making is denying and rejecting Messiah's Divine Fulfillment of Daniel's Inspired Prophecy.
The word "confirm" appears in Daniel 9:27. The word "confirm" appears nowhere in the entirety of Deuteronomy 31. There is no connection between the two.
Your private interpretation by imagination.
How long was this in Jerusalem and then went out to Gentiles? If you look to historical records and early church writing (and commentaries up until about 200 years ago) you'll notice it was 7 years that the Messianic events and news remained within Jerusalem.The gospel of Salvation is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him crucified for the propitiation of sins, and that he rose from the dead on the third day.
It was not until Luke 24:44-48, that the disciples went out and preached the gospel of Salvation.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
Christianity AND the 70th week of Daniel are founded on Christ, the Messiah. So....yes....Christianity is most definitely founded on the Sabbath cycle. Jesus fulfilled the Sabbath rest. He brought the "covenant of peace" that biblical Israelites were hoping for.The 70th week in Daniel is the 70th shmitah cycle. Christianity, founded on the New Covenant in Christ is not tied to the shmitah cycle.
In Biblical typology....the number 7 represents completion. That pattern begins in Genesis, with God's creation. We also see sequences of seven in the account of Noah:In Deuteronomy 31:9-13, Moses tied the confirming of the covenant to the shmitah cycle, the year of release. i.e. once every seven years
Well, it was not written in Daniel 9.The only place it could have been written that Christ was going to rise from the dead on the 3rd day was within the ancient Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament).
Why are you trying to prove to me that Jesus is the messiah?Christianity AND the 70th week of Daniel are founded on Christ, the Messiah.

Ezekiel 37:26
And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.
Psalm 118:22
The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
John 2
19Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”20“This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”21But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.
Matthew 21:42
Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES"?
Ezekiel 39:17-20 is about the dead G/M army. Not the dead at Armageddon.What do you mean by "conflating"?
Ezekiel 39:17-20 = Revelation 19:17-18.
Ezekiel 39:1-16 is the Gog/Magog event, 7 years earlier.
As Jesus explained to His disciples,Well, it was not written in Daniel 9.
mkgal1, the point I am making is that the messiah rising from the dead on the third day is not written, nor suggested, in Daniel 9.......not all of Messianic prophecy was in one passage. Daniel 9 is merely the timeline related to the countdown of *when* Messiah would arrive. He was right on time (and, as Christians, that should encourage us a great deal).
I didn't post that we have a 7 year tradition. In the old covenant there were shadows/types of what Christ fulfilled. The most accepted shadow/type is Jesus as the Passover Lamb. Passover Lambs are not part of our tradition either. He's fulfilled that.....however the shadow typology still points to Him.Why are you trying to prove to me that Jesus is the messiah?
Christianity is founded on the new covenant in Christ, not the shmitah cycle. We have no 7 year tradition in Christianity.
Gog's army was buried back in Ezekiel 39:11-16.Ezekiel 39:17-20 is about the dead G/M army. Not the dead at Armageddon.
In Christianity, there is a annual tradition called Good Friday - Jesus killed as the passover lamb of God, for the atonement of our sins. And another tradition called Easter Sunday - about Jesus's resurrection from the dead on the third day.I didn't post that we have a 7 year tradition. In the old covenant there were shadows/types of what Christ fulfilled. The most accepted shadow/type is Jesus as the Passover Lamb. Passover Lambs are not part of our tradition either.

.....and the point I'm trying to make is that Daniel 9 is not a Messianic summary - it's only the time-frame.mkgal1, the point I am making is that the messiah rising from the dead on the third day is not written, nor suggested, in Daniel 9.
ISTM that all you're basing your belief on is the 7 years. Creating one's own point of a passage is something that leads a person in the wrong direction. The point of Daniel 9 is to give the time-frame for the arrival of Messiah.You are rationalizing, trying to make the covenant confirmed for 7 years to be a reference to the new covenant in Christ, instead of being the Mt. Sinai covenant.
