Therefore strating from 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. (O.K. so seventy weeks is the length of our timeline.)
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.(From this, the start of the timeline of the 70 weeks is from the time, the Jews were allowed to go and rebuild their Temple by the Medo=Persians, after it was destroyed by the Babylonians back in 586 B.C. The time of this order to allow the Jews to return and build was in 454 B.C. by Arthexertses. But as said, this was to last only seven weeks until it was accomplished by Nehemaih and others.in 405 B.C. And seeing this time period was called seven weeks and it took 49 years, then obviously a week was equal to 7 years. For even in Hebrew, the word week is Shebuah, and means 7 years.
Dan 9:26 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. (Aha... now it says after 62 more weeks after 405 B.C. the Messiah would be cut off. So do the math and 62 times 7 years brings us to 30.A.D. when the Messiah was to be cut off ? Right ? Right !)
Dan 9:27 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. (And here's the Missing Week, the Last Seven years which starts with the Mid-East Ciovenant that settles the Palestinian - Jewish conflict..... SEE Daniel Timeline of the Last 7 years which comes from all of Daniel and correlated with John the revelators words from the Messiah concerning His Second Coming)
****************************
But let's go back to Daniel 9:26, in case you didn;t know who the Messiah had to be or is. So with this exact timeline of consecutive weeks converted into years until the Messiah was cut off, which person in world history died not for himself but for others ? Who gave his life a ransom for all ? Remember it did NOT say, the Messiah would bring His kingdom into being at 30 A.D. or bring about world peace in 30 A.D. but that the Messiah would die at 30. A.D.
Come on you know the answer, as there was only world religious leader that was going to die for the sins of the world and only one that said that he was that Messiah, and only one that fulfilled the more than 90 other Messianic Prophecies written by the previous prophets, and His Name was JESUS CHRIST, the Son of God, There is no other !!
And so if only by numbers, it can be proven that Jesus was the Messiah, for he was born in about 4.B.C. in Bethlehem by a virgin named Mary, and started his public ministry at about 30 years of age and continued on for three years so that at the age of 33, he died on the cross, as the Lamb of God .... for the sins of the whole world in 30.A.D.
So no one should be looking to the future for an earthly Messiah again for he already came in the flesh and in meekness and was rejected,!! Yet the next time He comes it will be in strength at the Consummation (Daniel 9: 27 ). For then we shall all see ' the sign of the Son of man coming in the clouds with Power and great Glory. (Mathew 24)
Recieve the Messiah today before it is too late .... for today is the day of Salvation
In His Service
