Daniel 9:24-27…*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. 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. 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. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week*: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
70 weeks determined in Daniel’s Prophecy
7 years = 1 week
70x7 = 490 years
7 weeks = 49 years (From commandment to rebuild the wall)
Commandment to build the wall took - 46 years (John 2:20)
3 years of Christ’s earthly ministry – until Jesus entered Jerusalem on the colt of and ass
46 years + 3 years = 49 years
490 years – 49 years = 441 years
(After - Three score two weeks (62 weeks) the Messiah would be cut off= 434 years)*
441 years – 434 years = 7 years
7 years = 1 week
62 weeks + 7 weeks = 69 weeks of Daniel’s Prophecy
1 week to confirm the covenant (unfulfilled Prophecy) = 7 year Jewish Tribulation*
1 week + 7 weeks + 62 weeks = 70 weeks
70 weeks were determined
In the 490 year prophecy you had:
A 483 year prophetic picture
434 years until the rebuilding of the wall
49 years – 46 years to rebuild + 3 years of ministry until the crucifixion
7 years (1 week) unfulfilled prophecy left over – Tribulation period
