thoughts on Daniel Timeline
simplifying the key dates...
using the sabbatical set of the six day war, 1967 (Jewish rule of Jerusalem)
the founding of Israel, 1947-48 (UN order to establish Israel 1947, founding in 1948)
the 70 years of Daniel
the 50 years of the biblical jubilee
1947 + 70 = 2017
1967 + 50 = 2017
1967 - 50 = 1917 (defeat of Ottoman Empire, British rule of Jerusalem)
2017 - 7 = 2010 (start of the last 7 years)
2017 - 3.5 years = 2013.5 (trib starts in June)
the Daniel Timeline used the saying of Jesus, 'let not your flight be in winter or on the Sabbath'. This derived the date of 22nd March 2013. That seems to me to be the weakest evidence, as saying that dosnt have to mean that the A of D will be at the end of winter or not on the Sabbath.. it might be so, but the evidence seems weak.
if the A of D is a repeat of the activities of Antiochus, it cant be at June 2013, because the temple needs to be rebuilt. But the start of the trib can occur mid 2013.
I don't go along with the standard theory, that 'he' confirms a covenant with many, is talking about the antichrist, the 'he' is Jesus, confirming the covenant with many. That was the second prophetic use of the 70 weeks, not the third use, which is about the latter days and the return of Christ.
English Standard Version matt 26:28
for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
it's obvious to me anyway, that Jesus understands that he has confirmed the original covenant, and knows about the Daniel prophesy.
Daniel 9:27
And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.
the temple wasn't rebuilt after 70 AD, and eventually a total defilement occurred when the Muslims put the Shrine of the Djinn smack on top of the Holy of Holies.
Amos 5:18
Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why would you have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light,
