Understanding the seven years of the 70th week of Daniel is very important, because of the truth of its fulfillment and the deceptions based on it.
The 70th week of Daniel 9 is the only prophecy that foretold when Messiah would start His ministry and die for our sins. The context of Daniel 9 is that the Jews are at the end of their 70-year captivity, and Daniel is inquiring about what will happen to them. Daniel is not seeking information about the end times or the antichrist, just about the destiny of the Jewish nation. Daniel 9:24-27 gives the answer.
Seventy Shemitah cycles are determined for the Jewish people. The prophecy is pointing to seventy 7-year Shemitah cycles, which is ten 49-year Jubilee cycles. The first seven weeks of the prophecy point to seven 7-year Shemitah cycles, which is one Jubilee cycle of 49 years.
The commands from Cyrus and Darius were about the rebuilding the temple, not the city.
The timeline started with a command from Persian King Artaxerxes in 457 BC, so the 70th week occurred from 27-34 AD, which is the time frame in which we know Messiah carried out His ministry and died for our sins. This is confirmed by the book of 1 Esdras, which is an extension of the book of Ezra. And it’s validated, as a year of Jubilee took place in 457 BC, when the captive Jews were set free, confirming the starting year.
The command from King Artaxerxes in 445/444 BC was to restart the rebuilding of Jerusalem, as it had been stopped, which is why Nehemiah was so sad; so it’s not the correct decree.
Daniel 9:24 defines six things to be fulfilled during the 490 years. The Jews cannot fulfill them. Our Messiah did with His blood atonement that paid for transgressions and reconciled the Jews, and us, with the Father. Isaiah 53 foretold Messiah being wounded for our transgressions, our iniquities, when He was ‘cut off.’
In Daniel 9:25-27, you see how the 70-weeks are structured. It started with 7-weeks (one Jubilee cycle) during which the Jews were empowered to rebuild Jerusalem. Then 62 weeks of mostly silence from the prophets. And then the pinnacle of the prophecy, the last 7-years of the 70th week. Daniel 9:25 points to Messiah the Prince appearing after 69 weeks. 9:26 points to Him dying after the 69 weeks, meaning in the 70th week. His multi-year ministry took place in the 70th week, starting with His Isaiah declaration and anointing at His baptism.
The ‘people of the prince’ are the Jews, who are declared in Daniel 9:24 as ‘thy people.’ Messiah the Prince is of the tribe of Judah, so the Jews are ‘the people of the prince.’
The Jews caused Jerusalem and the temple to be destroyed because they continued in their rebellion against the Heavenly Father and they rejected His Son and delivered Him up to be killed, so it was their punishment.
The Jews caused Jerusalem and the temple to be destroyed because they attacked the army of Cestius, killing thousands of soldiers, which incited the ire of the Roman Emperor who sent three legions of soldiers to Jerusalem to capture the Jews.
The Jews caused Jerusalem and the temple to be destroyed because they caused the peaceable Titus, who tried to get them to surrender, to order the desolation after being horrified by the Jews causing hundreds of thousands of their own people to die.
Daniel 9:25-26 points to Messiah the Prince, so the ‘he’ in Daniel 9:27 is still Messiah, who came to ratify the everlasting covenant in the middle of the 70th week. The word ‘prince’ is the same Hebrew word, nagiyd. It makes no sense for the word prince to point to two different people. Many Jews believed in Messiah the Prince, 3,000 on Pentecost and more were added daily. Messiah’s Ekklesia was built on a foundation of Jews.
The 70th week of Daniel points to Messiah’s multiyear ministry, not just His death.
People who believe that the 70th week of Daniel 9 is yet to be fulfilled, proclaim that four days after the 69th week was fulfilled, Messiah entered Jerusalem to be ‘cut off,’ killed, fulfilling Daniel 9:26.
But the prophecy is not just pointing to Messiah coming to die, but to His multiyear ministry in which He said, ‘repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
It started when He was baptized by John, when the Spirit descended on Him, and the Father proclaimed ‘This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’
Then He went into the synagogue, read the Isaiah passage and proclaimed that it was fulfilled in Him. His many miracles served to validate His authority.
On Passover, at the beginning of His ministry, He cleansed the temple, driving out the money-changers. Three years later He repeated this temple cleansing before He died as the Spotless Lamb on Passover.
Messiah confirmed the everlasting covenant of Daniel 9:4. Daniel 9:27 says that he ‘confirms’ the covenant, which means that the covenant already existed. We only have to look back to Daniel 9:4 to see that Daniel is pleading with the Heavenly Father to remember His covenant of mercy to those who love Him.
“And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments.”
Messiah came to confirm the everlasting covenant that was made to Father Abraham, which needed to be ratified by the blood of Messiah, the Spotless Lamb.
Romans 15:8 says, “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.“
Galatians 3:17 says, “And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.”
Hebrews 13:20 says, “Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.”
Daniel 9:27 points to the timing of Messiah’s death, in the middle of the 7-years. The word ‘for’ in Daniel 9:27 is added by the translators, making it seem to point to a 7-year covenant. It’s simply pointing to the last week of seven years.
Messiah’s death on the cross caused the need for temple animal sacrifices to cease, as He is the one-time atonement for sin. The Father validated this when He tore the temple curtain in two, though the rebellious Jewish leaders continued sacrifices until their judgment in 70 AD.

The deception is that the 70th week of Daniel hasn’t been fulfilled yet.
We’ve been told that it is about an end-times antichrist who makes a 7-year peace agreement with Israel, which starts a 7-year tribulation period.
The Jesuits created this deception in the 16th century to deflect blame away from the Popes of Rome, as the Protestant Reformers had rightly identified them as the Little Horn of Daniel, Son of Perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2, and antichrist beast of Revelation 13.
They had Jesuit Priest Francisco Ribera, a brilliant man with a doctorate in theology, write a 500 page commentary with an opposing view, where he manipulated prophecies in the books of Daniel and Revelation, to create the narrative of a one-man antichrist in an end-time 7-year tribulation. This idea, called Futurism, was quickly adopted as the Roman Catholic Church’s official position on the Antichrist.
The true Church effectively rejected these futuristic concepts until the 19th century, when the Jesuits caused several people to promote these concepts; including Pastor Edward Irving, John Nelson Darby and Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, which led to these deceptions being taught at Dallas Theological Seminary, where the leaven of the Jesuits deceptions have spread around the world.
The historical witness of the many persecuted believers and theologians of the past have been pushed aside, and futurism is now taught by most Pastors.
I understand that this explanation of the 70th week of Daniel may be new to you, so I want to step back and take a child-like, logical view of the prophecy.
Simply ask yourself:
How long does it take the Father to fulfill His own 70 week prophecy? The obvious and correct answer is 70 weeks. If a 70 week prophecy is given and it is not fulfilled in 70 consecutive weeks, then the prophecy is not valid.
What week follows the 69th week? The obvious answer is the 70th week, but the enemy would have you believe that there is a 1,990+ year time gap between the 69th and 70th week, even though there is no such time gap defined in Daniel 9.
Daniel 9:25 mentions the arrival of the promised Messiah, and then Daniel 9:27 mentions a ‘covenant‘. Whose covenant do you suppose that it is referring to? Isn’t it logical to assume that it is Messiah’s covenant, as the reason that He came was to die to ratify the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Passover Lamb?
The text even proclaims that He was ‘cut off‘, meaning that He was killed, in the middle of the seven years, which matches Isaiah’s prophecy about the promised Messiah, in Isaiah 53:8, “He was taken from prison and from judgment. And as for His generation, who considered that He shall be cut off from the land of the living? For the transgression of My people He was stricken.”
The consequences of the 70 Weeks of Daniel deception are grand!
The enemy’s end times deception is based on the concept of a futuristic 70th week of Daniel. It causes people to look for an end times one-man Antichrist, instead of identifying the office of the papacy as the beast of Revelation, the Little Horn of Daniel and the Son of Perdition.
This is the very reason that the end times 7 year tribulation deception was created by the Roman Catholic Church. They were being accused by the Protestant Reformers of being the Antichrist system who persecuted the saints. The Protestant Reformers told people to ‘come out of her‘, which caused millions of people to leave the Roman Catholic Church and be saved by the pure Gospel of Messiah.
The enemy has programmed our minds to view the 70th week of Daniel as futuristic. But when you understand that the 70th week of Daniel has been fulfilled, and that it’s not an end-times 7-year tribulation period; most of the enemy’s deceptions about prophecy fulfillment crumble to the ground.
The Revelation Timeline Decoded Bible study series gives you the proof that the Popes of Rome are the beast of Revelation, the Little Horn of Daniel and the Son of Perdition.

THIS IS THE DUMBEST STUPIDEST MOST CARELESS USE OF SCRIPTURE I HAVE EVER READ…Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
Proverbs 10:17 NIV
YOUR COMMENT IS NOT CORRECTION SANDY! It is an opinion without any Scripture proof to provide correction. The said irony is that you quote the corrupt NIV Bible to try to make your point.
If you’re gettin’ flack, means you’re over the target. Keep goin’ for God!
Thank you Mike! I’m used to getting flack, because people are so indoctrinated with the false, futuristic explanations of prophecy fulfillment. No worries, I will never stop! 🙂
Yeah, messiah isn’t cut off in middle of the last week, Daniel 9 doesn’t seem to say that: After 62 weeks He will be cut off.
And verse 27 declares that He will end the temple sacrifices, halfway through the 70th week. And what happened when Messiah was ‘cut off’? The temple curtain was torn in two, because His one-time sacrifice ended the need for temple sacrifices.
Sandy is one of the deceived. Sad.
Thank you Melinda, it is sad! 🙁
I believe that we have been deceived by the church but I must say I am not sure I believe this either but I will study and continue to search and seek the truth. Thank for your interpretation it’s very interesting.
Hi Linda 🙂 Yeah, there is much deception about the 70th week of Daniel. I pray that you will read all of the studies, to see if they line up with Scripture; and that you find truth. Contact me with any questions. Blessings to you! David
David, please give us the Daniel verses that confirm that the 70 weeks of Daniel started when the Messiah was baptized at age 30, and that the Messiah and his disciples would fulfill the 70th week of Daniel from 27-34 A.D. You mention the word covenant in Daniel 9:27 but you conveniently omit the abomination that causes desolation from this verse, which Jesus himself refers to in Matthew 24:15. Who exactly is this “HE” mentioned in Daniel 9:27? How can the Jews confirm a seven year covenant with Jesus Christ, when though out the Gospels, the Jews clearly rejected his messages and miracles, and plotted to kill Jesus on numerous occasions? Do you actually think the Jews ended the sacrifices and offerings after Jesus died on the cross? This ended when the temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. However Daniel 12:11,and 2 Thessalonians 2:4, tells us about a future temple, and a man of lawlessness desecrating this future temple by claiming he is God. Now if you have proof that these verses occurred in 70 A.D. please provide your biblical references. Also Daniel 7:19-25, Daniel 11:36, Revelation 13, and Revelation 17:9-14, tell us that the Antichrist or Beast will rule the world and the Devil will give him his own power and throne and great authority. Give us the Pope of Rome that walked inside the temple and declared himself God. Which Pope of Rome was given 42 months to persecute, wage war, and overcome God’s people? If the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled, then Jesus Christ should be reigning and ruling the world. So please tell us who is currently ruling this world. Jesus Christ, or Satan.
Michael, the answers to your questions are in my studies.

Hello guys. 🙂
Dan 12:1-13 is this not connected to matt.24:14-29?
If 70 weeks took place on our History why is that in Matt. 24:verse 14 signified “then end would come? then on verse 15 -28 follows the 70 weeks of Daniel.
Why is that in matt 24: 29 stated” After those Tribulation ” signs would come. If the He comes like a thief why in Verse 29 preced signs?

Admonition to Laodicean Rev 3:19. I always believe God will do that in last age. 🙂 He is a loving God.
Yes, Daniel 12 is connected to Matthew 24. Here is the study. http://theolivetdiscourse.com/daniel-12-is-not-about-an-end-times-antichrist/
“The end” of Matthew 24:14 is referring to the end of the Jewish nation, which happened in 70 A.D., when their temple and city, and the Jewish leadership system, was desolated; effectively ending the Jewish national existence.
Revelation 19:14 is talking about the saints, as Revelation 19:7 talks about the bride being made ready.
I will read that :). God hides in simplicity – If he hides that way HE ALREADY REVEALED THE THINGS in the Book but is hidden.
I have just commented the signs and end of ages According to bible verses but the Cgnal did not permit me . But I might write again here concerning these things. God Bless Guys.
” it is the glory(Kabod) of Yahweh to conceal a matter,But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” Proverbs 25:2. The Apostle Paul states That in the mind of our Creator we saints (male or female) are already kings 1 Cor. 4: 8 , calling the things that are not as though they already are Romans 4 : 17. So during the Messianic Kingdom reign; The King of Kings and Lord of lords YESHUA Rev. 19:16 will have kings and priests ruling with him with a rod of iron. Rev. 2 ; 26-27 Halleluyah !
David, the correct interpretation of the Daniel and Revelation prophesies is soon to be published!!!
I wanted to paste them here but was told not to by Father.
The Book is titled: The Journey Through Tribulation
co-authored by Mikah and the holy Spirit
Mikah, so by your comment I presume that you disagree with my explanation of the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel, but you can’t show me the correct interpretation. I guess I’ll just have to believe and teach my current understanding, until I see another explanation that makes sense. David

David,
Please share with me your thoughts on 1 Corinthians 11 regarding the Lord’s Supper and the practice today of ‘do this in remembrance of me’.
I believe that we are to remember Messiah’s sacrifice for our sins as the Passover Lamb, on Passover; by eating bread and drinking wine, in remembrance of what He has done for us. Simple as that.
Hi guys,
Yeshua fulfilled the Passover “fully”: He kept YHWH’s passover at the right time, the beginning of the 14th day; He and His disciples went out before midnight, the death angel came and as the true lamb, He asked for death to pass-over the disciples (let these go), and He was taken and killed.
After the Passover meal was finished Yeshua confirmed the Everlasting Covenant anew (now includes house of Judah, house of Israel and the nations through the gospel, etc.), with many that was with Him – not just the 12. The remembrance and observation of this confirmation through His blood and body now depend on us now, not a set date, it is as often as we choose to do it.
1 Corinthians 11’s context was not Passover day. It was believers coming together at someone’s home, and some ate too much, and some drank too much (and the grape juice got them drunk…lol). The communion/Lord’s Supper is to be observed regularly in the right manner, and don’t forget to “discern” the body: on it was laid our curses; sin, sickness, poverty, and death.
And by the way, yes 70 sevens (week) is 70 sevens, YHWH was not teaching “new math”.
David,
The 70 weeks are not yet fulfilled; how can it be when the it’s end involves bringing an end to sin and setting up an everlasting kingdom?
Again, it is a time line (complicated but not so much) calculated from Nebuchadnezzar through the birth and death of Jesus/ preaching of the gospel to the nations/ satan taking over and ruling over for the last 3.5 yrs (which is figurative) the end which is 2300 AD.
If a 70 week prophecy is not fulfilled in 70 weeks, it is invalid. We know that the 70 weeks started when the Jews were empowered to rebuild the temple and city, so we know that the 70 weeks were fulfilled.
Maybe you should actually read the studies before expressing your opinion.
Messiah fulfilled all that was defined in Daniel 9:24.
Regarding, To make an end of sins.
No man can stop sinning, so it’s impossible that the Jews could make an end of sins.
Let’s now look at how Messiah made an end of sins.
“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29
“For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.” Romans 6:10
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,” Romans 8:2-3
“For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” Hebrews 9:26
“Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” Hebrews 9:28
“And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.” Hebrews 10:11-12
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 10:16-17
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18
“And you know that He was manifested to TAKE AWAY OUR SINS, and in Him there is no sin.”1 John 3:5
http://70thweekofdaniel.com/messiah-fulfilled-the-purposes-of-daniel-924-during-the-70th-week-of-daniel/
Messiah setup His Father’s kingdom in the 1st century, which has been expanding ever since. Did He not say that the Kingdom is at hand? http://theolivetdiscourse.com/messiah-set-up-his-kingdom/
“My Kingdom is not of this world” John 18:36 The Kingdom of Earth is Jehovah’s, a cruel brutal God. “I Jehovah am a man of war” Exodus 15:3> The opposite of the Loving Father of Jesus that says “Love your enemies” “who cares for a sparrow that falls to the ground.”
The Prophecies of Daniel are twofold, [the 7 years are split into two]one relates to the life of Jesus on Earth as in the above accurate account, secondly the break in that 7 years, gives the final three and a half years the events that lead [2017 June to 2019 June] to the next super power being Israel who will reign for a 1000 years after the collapse of the present world order in an Armageddon of a Nuclear war lasting three and a half years. The man of sin is a Jew, who have controlled the world since Egypt under Joseph Babylon under Daniel and Rome through an apostate Christianity inspired by Judaism, under the Pope who is also secretly a Jew.This world is not our Kingdom…but the Kingdom of Heaven.
The 70 weeks of Daniel prophecy defined three time periods of 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week. There is no text which states that there is a time break in the middle of the 70th week. And besides that, if a 70 week prophecy is not fulfilled in 70 weeks, it’s invalid.
As for the supposed 3 1/2 years in the end times; Daniel and John were pointing to the 1,260 year reign of the Popes of Rome, who fulfill Bible prophecy as the Little Horn of Daniel 7, the Son of Perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the antichrist beast of Revelation 13. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-antichrist-sea-beast-of-revelation-13-is-the-popes-of-the-roman-catholic-church/
As for the end times super power, it is the Jesuits of Rome, who rose to power out of the Roman Catholic Church. They covertly control America, and almost every nation in the world; except Syria, Iran and North Korea; which is why those countries are being demonized, to justify military action against them. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-earth-beast-of-revelation-13-jesuit-generals-of-rome/
Hey David,
How can we be sure the 1290 days between the sacrifice ending and the abomination of desolation being set up mentioned in Daniel 12:11 doesn’t refer to the time between the sacrifices ending halfway through the week and abomination in Daniel 9:27? Seems like this connection makes logical sense.
Luke, Daniel 12:11 says that there will be 1,290 days between the sacrifices ending and the abomination of desolation being setup. Messiah’s death in 31 A.D. as the Passover Lamb ended the need for temple sacrifices, but the Jews did not stop making them. And we know that the abomination of desolation did not occur 3 1/2 years later. So those two timelines do not connect.
The first division of the Roman army, the abomination of desolation, appeared 1,290 days prior to the Roman army flooding the city, killing the remaining Jews, and destroying the temple; which ended the ability to make temple sacrifices.
I hope that clarifies it for you. Bible prophecy can be confusing because there are 3 1/2 year periods in Daniel 7, in Daniel 12, and several times in Revelation; but they point to different periods of fulfillment.
Hey thanks for the response. I’ve been through this stuff in detail and I understand the proposed fulfillments behind the two and that the two timelines don’t connect. That’s my question in a nutshell is how can we say for certain these are referring to the two separate sacrifice ending events? We know the abomination referred to is the same event. We also know that this did not happen 1290 days after the crucifixion.
Possibilities:
1. There is a detail in the original wording I am missing that would lead me to believe 9:27 and 12:11 refer to the 2 different sacrifice ending events noted.
2. Daniel 9:27 does not apply to the crucifixion, but the ending of sacrifice in 70AD
Not trying to be difficult, I just think this is a valid question. Do you at least see my point? Why would we assume the context changes in 12:11 and is referring to a different event? Is it just solely because that’s how it fits best with history? Seems like 12:11 and 9:27 logically would refer to the same thing.
I’m not totally seeing your point, but I understand the confusion, as there is 7 years in the 70th week; which is split into two parts essentially, as Messiah died at the midpoint.
Daniel 9:27 is proclaiming that the need for temple sacrifices would end at Messiah’s death, which was confirmed when the temple curtain was torn in two. So we know that Messiah fulfilled Daniel 9:27, in 31 A.D.
But the Jews kept making sacrifices, and that would only be stopped when the temple was destroyed, which is what Daniel 9:26 foretold.
So there are two events about the temple sacrifices ending: Messiah’s sacrificial death, which stopped the need for them; and Messiah sending the Roman army to destroy the temple, which stopped them physically from taking place.
The first parts of Daniel 9:26 and 27 point to what would happen in the 70th week of Daniel. The latter parts of those verses pointed to the desolation of the temple, city and Jews; and effectively the end of the Jewish nation; as most of them had rejected their promised Messiah.
I completely follow your explanation, but how these were fulfilled is not my question. I’ll try one more time to lay out what I’m asking more clearly.
Daniel 9:27 KJV
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.
(We have a sacrifice being taken away directly followed by the desolation)
Daniel 12:11 KJV
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
(We have a sacrifice being taken away directly followed by the desolation but this adds a timeframe between the events)
Now, try to pretend you are reading Daniel for the first time and remove any preconceived notions of what fulfills these. What makes us safe to assume the context changes and 12:11 refers to the Romans taking away the sacrifice while 9:27 refers to Messiah taking away the need for sacrifice based on the details of the TEXT ONLY?
Again, don’t mean to nitpick, but if I was a student learning this for the first time I think it’s an obvious question, and I don’t have a good answer other than that’s how it fits best while keeping our interpretation of the 70 weeks in place.
Overall I’ve really enjoyed your sites, and you have a lot of good info on these. Thanks for putting all this work in. Would love to ask some other unrelated questions I have sometime to get your take.
Luke, we can prove out that the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled from 27-34 A.D. Daniel 9:27 is talking about Messiah. Messiah’s ministry took place from 27-31 A.D. It states that He shall cause the sacrifices to stop. The text says that this would take place in the middle of the 70th week of Daniel. And we know that the Father confirmed this when the temple curtain was torn in two.
The events that are described in Daniel 12 can be proven to have been fulfilled from 66-70 A.D. The abomination of desolation took place in 66 A.D. The temple sacrifices were stopped permanently in 70 A.D.
I really don’t know how to explain it any better than that.
If you have questions, just comment on the appropriate study, and I’m happy to answer.
Keep learning and growing in The Way!

Hi again guys.
May I just add a couple of things?
Watch for context change and the missing parentheses.
1. Daniel 9 and Daniel 12 are not the same context nor vision:
Daniel 9:1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes…
Daniel 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel… (this one continues through 12).
2. The scriptures are written “parenthetically”, meaning some explanation, or relevance are interjected into a passage, that is why we need to rightly divide the Word. Example: Ephesians 6 – put an open parenthesis after “the whole armor of God” in verse 13, and close parenthesis after “the sword of the Spirit” in verse 17 and you will see what “the whole armor of God” is.
I’m not sure what I’ve written to indicate that Daniel 9 and Daniel 12 are the same vision, but they are related.
Daniel 9 foretold that the promised Messiah would appear in the 70th week, and that He would be killed 1/2 way through the 7 years. The punishment for the Jews delivering Him up to be crucified was that the ‘people of the prince’, the Roman army of Prince Titus, would cause the desolation of the temple and city and Jews.
In the Olivet Discourse Messiah described the sign of the Abomination of Desolation, which was fulfilled in 66 A.D., when the first division of the Roman army surrounded Jerusalem.
Daniel 12 foretold that there would be 1,290 days between the Abomination of Desolation, and the army flooding into the city. The Romans flooded the city in 70 A.D., 1290 days after the sign.
The Roman siege lasted for 45 days, fulfilling the 1,335 days of Daniel 12. Here is the study that proves it out. http://theolivetdiscourse.com/daniel-12-is-not-about-an-end-times-antichrist/
Sorry, I meant Daniel 12:11 – To clarify, how can we infer the meaning from the original text that the sacrifice ending in 9:27 refers to the need for sacrifice ending at the crucifixion and the sacrifice ending in 12:11 refers to the physical daily sacrifice in the temple?
Hey David, Unfortunately even if you give scriptures of proof, there are those that will not accept it, you are absolutely right, the 70th week has been fulfilled with our Lord Jesus Christ. If one reads the scripture carefully, you see there is No rapture of the church spoken of, no mention of an anti-christ, and there is only one that can put an end to sacrificing, and Jesus did it at the cross. It takes studying, but more importantly when the truth is given to you, learn to accept it.
Thank You!
Hey Diane 🙂 Yeah, sadly, the programming of the enemy has caused people to think that they know the script of the 70th week of Daniel, so it’s hard to helped them see what Scripture is really saying. I just post the truth for those who are seeking it, and are Spirit led. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
after reading your article, and opening up different translations of the text in English i was skeptical in your analysis. However, i pulled up the Greek Septuagint with a more modern greek translation and sure enough, there is NO EMPHASIS of a “archtype antichrist” in vs 26. As for verse 27, although the LXX doesn’t specifically refer to Christ but a male gender, in the modern Greek translation it is interpreted as the Christ.
Δαν. 9,26 (LXX) καὶ μετὰ τὰς ἑβδομάδας τὰς ἑξηκονταδύο ἐξολοθρευθήσεται χρῖσμα, καὶ κρίμα οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐτῷ· καὶ τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὸ ἅγιον διαφθερεῖ σὺν τῷ ἡγουμένῳ τῷ ἐρχομένῳ καὶ ἐκκοπήσονται ἐν κατακλυσμῷ, καὶ ἕως τέλους πολέμου συντετμημένου τάξει ἀφανισμοῖς.
Δαν. 9,26 ( modern) Μετά δε την παρέλευσιν των εξήντα δύο εβδομάδων ετών, θα θανατωθή ο χριστός. Κυρίου, ο Σωτήρ, χωρίς να υπάρχη καμμία απολύτως αμαρτία και αιτία θανάτου δι’ αυτόν. Η πόλις της Ιερουσαλήμ και ο άγιος ναός θα καταστραφούν μαζή με τους ηγουμένους, τους άρχοντας της εποχής εκείνης. Οι κάτοικοι θα κατακλυσθούν από συμφοράς και ένας ξένος λαός θα αναλάβη πάλεμον κατά του Ισραήλ, μέχρι δε τέλους του πολέμου θα επιφέρη φοβεράς καταστροφάς και τρομερούς αφανισμούς.
Δαν. 9,27 (LXX) καὶ δυναμώσει διαθήκην πολλοῖς, ἑβδομὰς μία· καὶ ἐν τῷ ἡμίσει τῆς ἑβδομάδος ἀρθήσεταί μου θυσία καὶ σπονδή, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ ἱερὸν βδέλυγμα τῶν ἐρημώσεων, καὶ ἕως τῆς συντελείας καιροῦ συντέλεια δοθήσεται ἐπὶ τὴν ἐρήμωσιν.
Δαν. 9,27 (modern) Κατά μίαν εβδομάδα ετών ο Χριστός θα συνάψη και θα καταστήση ισχυράν και έγκυρον μίαν νέον διαθήκην. Κατά δε το μέσον της εβδομάδος αυτής, που θα προσφερθή η μεγάλη θυσία του λυτρωτού Χριστού, θα τεθή οριστικόν πλέον τέρμα εις τας παλαιάς θυσίας και σπονδάς. Εις δε τον ναόν μου και τον λαόν του Ισραήλ, θα εισέλθουν βδελυραί δυνάμεις καταστροφής και ερημώσεως. Τέρμα δε εις την καταστροφήν θα τεθή όταν συμπληρωθή ο ωρισμένος χρόνος.
This is great work you are doing here. Yah bless!
in fact in vs 26, “Η πόλις της Ιερουσαλήμ και ο άγιος ναός θα καταστραφούν μαζή με τους ηγουμένους, τους άρχοντας της εποχής εκείνης” it refers SPECIFICALLY that Jerusalem and the Temple will be destroyed by the the leader (Archon) of THAT PARTICULAR TIME/Era/seson (i.e. the Roman Empire)! Praise God, this is an amazing revelation to me. thank you
So the leader, Archon, is pointing to the prince in Daniel 9:26?
It’s really interesting to see how the Greek Septuagint reads in that verse. It’s proclaiming that Messiah caused the desolation of the city and temple, via the Roman army.
“And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint the city to desolations.”
And all of that matches up with Messiah’s Olivet Discourse, where He foretold the signs that would lead to the desolation of the temple, city and Jews; by the Roman army. http://theolivetdiscourse.com
the prince is the archon. the english translation says prince and in the greek lxx it says the leader that is coming translated to modern greek as archon. i actually found your study series searching if the tribulation started with the destruction of the temple. becuase i also believe that the olivet discourse was fullfilled in 70ad. if you have time david please contact me on email as there are a few things id like your insight on. thank you.
Thank you for sharing your insight George! May Yah bless you richly! David
Yahuah Bless you Abundantly David.
You were named after an amazing King, and he too faced many difficulties but he had the truth as you do. Be brave and courageous.
I have copied and typed up nearly all your articles and share them with those who do not have a computer. I am nearly 73 and you and others have left me and my husband Antony full of joy and peace. We were SDA’s but no more. We belong to our Yahuah and our Blessed Saviour Yahusha Messiah. Halleluyah AMEN Fauvette Amos
Thank you for your kind words Fauvette! I’m blessed to know that the 70th week of Daniel has helped you and your husband! The concept of a futuristic 70th week of Daniel is the foundation of the enemy’s end-time deceptions. Keep learning and growing in The Way! May Yahuah bless you richly! David

I have a question regarding Yashua’s earthly ministry which seems to be an important element to the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel. What is the Scriptural proof that Yashua’s ministry was 3 1/2 years? I cant find any Scriptural basis for 3 1/2 years? It seems that if you do a chronological study you cannot get to 3 1/2 years. I know it’s something I’ve always been taught/told but I don’t want to just assume any longer that it’s accurate. So where did this idea originate since it seems to be widely accepted as factual?
Thank you
Ben
Ben, the foundation of that is based on Daniel 9:26-27, which proclaims that the covenant would be confirmed with the Jews for seven years; and that Messiah would be killed at the midpoint of the seven years.
From that we can deduce that Messiah and His disciples preached the Gospel to the Jews during the first 3.5 years, before Messiah was killed. And then the disciples preached to the Jews, that Messiah died as the Passover Lamb and rose again; for the remaining 3.5 years; so that the Gospel was preached to the Jews exclusively for seven years. Then after that it was also preached to the Gentile nations.
Messiah would have been 30 years old, which is the tradition age for someone to start teaching, in the fall of year 27 A.D. Messiah died in the Spring of 31 A.D., which is 3.5 years later; so we have a match.
When the Protestants of the Reformation said the Pope & Roman Church were AC they didn’t then say we’re all about to get raptured. They also didn’t say 7 years of tribulation aka Daniel’s 70th week is about to begin. They all knew Daniel’s 70th week was already fulfilled. Even Isaac Newton’s interpretation has it being fulfilled. They knew their Bible and they knew Bible history. Unfortunately, people today don’t know their Bible or Bible history or even Church history. They cling to the teachings of Cyrus Scofield yet disregard the teachings and words of Martin Luther, William Tyndale and other great reformers. Rome is laughing at all this confusion. So sad.
Thank you for your comment Rob! Yeah, sadly, the enemy has pushed aside the witness of the saints who have gone before us. A huge part of that has been through Dallas Theological Seminary, which has a direct connection to Scofield. Many of the popular Pastors graduated from DTS, so they teach the deceptions that originated with the Jesuits of Rome.
Here’s the link to that study. http://70thweekofdaniel.com/how-the-leaven-of-the-70th-week-of-daniel-deceptions-spread/
Thank you for that study. I’ve been watching your videos on YouTube for about 7-8 years so I’m familiar with some of that info.. Thank you for the time and effort you’ve put into those videos and studies. It has opened my eyes and allowed me to build on my Bible studies in so many ways. I’m now able to show others the truth and show them the errors in the futurist theory straight from the Bible. They are stumped and I can tell they’ve never seen or heard a different side than futurism.
It’s frustrating how futurism and deflection away from Rome has overcome today’s church, however it has to be thru the will of God that Rome has been allowed to survive and pull the wool over people’s eyes. I know of a pastor in MD who knows full well the secret rapture theory was an invention of Rome & the Jesuits, but with so many churches down the street promoting that theory I don’t think he knows how to go about teaching against it. Would cause a major battle in the community.
Thank you for your comment Rob! Yeah, no doubt Pastors cave into peer pressure, instead of teaching the truth! It’s a sad state of affairs, which the many saints who have gone before us, who knew the truth about the 70th week of Daniel, would be appalled to see. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
I cannot find anything good about Cyrus Scofield. Nothing! Amazing how his Bible has become so popular and people overlook or have no clue who he was. I think they’ve also tampered with Daniel 9:27. Older versions of the Bible say “Yet shall he confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in a half week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease:”
Notice by saying “and in A half week” introduces a new week outside of the one week. However, in today’s versions it reads, “in the midst of THE week”. Today’s version puts this half week inside of THE one week which plays to the futurist theory of a rebuilt temple and future antichrist breaking his peace treaty. Just by the use of “the” instead of “a” makes all the difference.
Thank you for sharing that insight Rob! Cyrus Scofield may have been a covert Jesuit, who was used to get their deceptions into American churches and seminaries. And then there was a direct link from him to Lewis Sperry Chafer, who founded Dallas Theological Seminary, where every student has to study his futuristic explanations; which originated from the Jesuits. http://70thweekofdaniel.com/how-the-leaven-of-the-70th-week-of-daniel-deceptions-spread/
Yeah, the wording of Daniel 9:27 makes a huge difference! The Scriptures Bible renders it as ““And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall put an end to slaughtering and meal offering.”
I recently received the answer to the question of the rapture timing and I received it directly from the Lord. When believers come together and they discuss, or argue the points of this doctrine, they tend to ignore the manifold wisdom of God. When Jesus was speaking to the disciples in Matthew 13 about why He spoke in Parables, He told them that a teacher in the Kingdom is like one who pulls old as well as new treasures out of the storehouse. He preferred to speak this way because He wished to impart wisdom into the hearts of the believers by making connections between the things they had been taught in the Old Testament with the things they were witnessing in that day, which we now know of as the New Testament. These connections are what I refer to as parable threads and you can find that when Jesus made a parable reference it always had its origins in the Old Testament. It was by making these connections that He was showing them the intent of the author, who is our Heavenly Father. What I mean to say is the same thing that 2 Peter 1:20 says which is to say that no scripture on its own is able to spell out the manifold wisdom of God. When you pull on one thread within the Bible, you will find it is connected to another, and another, until you have pulled and pulled and eventually unraveled the entire mystery of God. How can we read a verse and know how it relates to all the other verses unless we have an understanding of the overall message being spelled out by the Almighty? Jesus was making it plain as day when He drew our attention to these parables and explained what they were.
When a reader comes across the book of Revelation, it may appear that this is a uniquely different and brand new idea that stands apart from the rest of God’s Word and that is simply not so. The revelation given to John was the same revelation given to all of the Lord’s prophets, and not only the prophets, but also the psalmists, and not only the psalmists but it’s also patterned out in the historical accounts of key people whom God chose to use in the demonstration of His revelation.
The Tribulation is a period which has been referred to by God as the time of Jacob’s trouble, in order to understand Revelation we must understand the story of Jacob, who worked for seven years for the woman he loved, Rachel, whose hand in marriage was promised to Jacob by Laban. The Bible tells us that the time went by easily for him because he loved her so much. But then after the work was complete and the waiting was over, he was given a wedding and a wife who turned out to be Rachel’s sister Leah. Then Laban explained why he tricked Jacob and offered him Rachel as well, but only if he agreed to stay and work another seven years. Before he could do this thing he had to finish up the traditional bridal week with Leah first, and then he would receive Rachel. The Time of Jacob’s trouble is a reference to the fact that Christ originally came for His own people, Israel, but received a Gentile church before His bride of choice. God spoke often to the nation of Israel as if He were their husband:
Every year Israel would read the Song of Solomon out loud in the assembly to honor this special relationship they had with the God of Jacob.
Isaiah 54:6 [‘The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit- a wife who married young, only to be rejected,’ says your God. ‘For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,’ says the Lord your redeemer. To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken for my covenant of peace be removed,’ says the Lord, who has compassion on you.]
Jeremiah 3:14 [‘Return faithless people,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I am your husband. I will choose you’]
The book of Hosea was a love story between the Lord and Israel. He showed them kindness though they deserved the fate of an adulterous. In verse 3:5 he says, [They will come trembling to the Lord and to His blessings in the last days.]
Several hints were dropped by Jesus to tell us how he would fulfill this plan of God for Israel. He spoke of the bridegroom in the parables and He also spoke of the last days and mentioned that they would be like the days of Noah. We also see references in the book of Revelation, well into the wrath of God, that the mountains and hills will be flattened by a shaking like no one has ever seen. This means He will always be with them after He comes back to fulfill these prophecies but until then, He has turned His back on them. This does not mean that they are not His people or that they don’t carry the financial blessings of the Lord and such. What it does mean is that they won’t see their messiah until they can say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
When Jesus was rejected by Israel, He instead started the Church, also His betrothed, for which there are many references in the New Testament. The church now awaits the fulfillment of prophecy when their savior will come back for them and take them into the wedding supper of the Lamb where they, too, will be with Him forever more. Since the time of Jacob’s Trouble is a reference to these two brides and the last week of Daniel is a foretelling of that time, then we can see that the church is received before the seven year period and the nation of Israel is received after the seven year period.
The tribulation is also referred to by God as the travail of a woman in labor. In Matthew 24 Jesus is describing the tribulation and He mentions that when we see the signs of the end coming, we should know that it is the beginning of birth pains. Paul tells us in Romans 8 that we groan inwardly just as the whole of creation does in an eager anticipation for our adoption as sons and the redemption of our bodies. In Revelation we are told that the woman is about to give birth when the child is caught up and protected by the Lord. This symbolism is given in the Old Testament as well and it mysteriously spells out a birth which happens before the woman goes into labor: Isaiah 66:7 [Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children.] The body of Christ depicted as singular and as a product of Zion and the Lord. But Isaiah goes on to indicate that the Lord does not put the woman through labor for nothing, she still has to have a birth after the travail is over. The remnant of Israel!
Since we can see the pattern of an imminent pre-tribulation rapture in these parable threads, then there should be more connections that we can make in the Word to confirm that we’re on the right track. There are many, but for me the most convincing is the calendar of the Lord’s feasts.
He was the Lamb that taketh away the sins of the world during Passover,
He was the Bread of Life that was pierced, and broken during the feast of Unleavened Bread,
He was raised from the dead on the Day of First fruits as a wave offering before the Lord,
and the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Day of Pentacost.
Now, if the pattern holds, and with God it always does, then these are to follow:
The Feast of Trumpets where the arrival of a new year is anticipated by the blowing of trumpets with the final blast heard at dusk which is considered the twinkling of an eye.
The Day of Atonement where the High Priest makes atonement for the sins of Israel and the wrath of God is appeased.
The Feast of Tabernacles where the supplications of the faithful remnant of Israel ushers in the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
This order of remembrances places the rapture of the church before the tribulation and the second coming of Jesus after the tribulation.
I hope these words encourage you all for that is what we are commanded to do with the rapture testimony is to encourage one another.
Another indication of the rapture which is actually in the written understanding of the scripture is Daniel 12:2. Two groups of people are spoken about as being part of the resurrection, but by the wording of the verse we can clearly see that they do not make up the entirety of the population of the earth. The word, “many” is used to start this passage. What about those who are not a part of the many? How are they getting into heaven?
Daniel 12:2 is not about the end times. It describes the time of Jacob’s Trouble, which took place from 66-70 A.D.; when 1.1 million Jews died in and around the small city of Jerusalem from: infighting, famine, pestilence, suicide, crucifixion and by the Roman sword.
The Abomination of Desolation, the Roman army (Luke 20:20-21), surrounded Jerusalem in 66 A.D., they built ramps up the walls, and were ready to take the city; when for no reason, they left. The Early Church obviously saw this sign, and they took the opportunity to escape to the mountains of Pella. The Jews, who did not know the sign, were emboldened, and they stayed.
Then three division of the Roman army surrounded the city, and camped out waiting their orders, as Emperor Nero had died. In 70 A.D., 1,290 days after the first division of the Roman army surrounded the city (the abomination of desolation), the Romans flooded the city, killing hundreds of thousands of Jews by the sword, and taking some captive. The siege lasted for 45 days, when it ended after the last stronghold of Jews, surrendered. 1,290 + 45 = the 1,335 days.
Here is a study that proves it out: http://theolivetdiscourse.com/daniel-12-is-not-about-an-end-times-antichrist/
Thank you for your comment JonAlan! I respectfully disagree with your explanation, as it includes a supposed futuristic 70th week of Daniel.
The concept of a futuristic 70th week of Daniel is a deception from the Jesuits of Rome, who created it to deflect blame away from the Popes, as the Protestant Reformers had rightly identified them as the Son of Perdition and the antichrist beast.
There is no future 7-year tribulation period, as the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled on time, after the 69th week;
when Messiah and His disciples confirmed with the Jews that He is the promised Messiah who ratified the everlasting covenant with His blood, as the Passover Lamb.
The seven years ended after the Jewish leaders stoned Stephen to death, marking their final rejection of their promised Messiah. Then the book of Acts clearly shows a dramatic shift, as the Gospel was also preached to the Gentile nations.
Here is a study series that proves it out: http://70thweekofdaniel.com
As for Messiah’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24, the main topic was the desolation of the temple, which happened in 70 A.D. Messiah clearly said that all of the things that He just described would take place in that generation of Jews.
And indeed, there was famine, pestilence, rumors of wars, etc.
The disciples were persecuted, just as He said.
The temple was desolated, just as He said. The Sun, moon and stars, were diminished; as He was pointing to the end of the Jewish leadership system: the High Priest was the sun, the Sandhedrin the moon, and the priests the stars. Messiah came in power and glory, when He caused the people of the prince (Daniel 9), the Roman army, to desolate Jerusalem and the temple.
And there was great tribulation, as 1.1 million Jews died in and around the small city of Jerusalem; from famine, pestilence, infighting, suicide, crucifixion and by the Roman sword.
This study series explains the fulfillment of Messiah’s Olivet Discourse, which was about the Jewish nation being desolated in the 1st century; and it is not about the end times.
Here is a study series that proves it out: http://theolivetdiscourse.com
Daniel 9:24 tells us that when the weeks are completed there will be no more transgressions and no more sins. John 1:8 says that if we consider ourselves to be without sin we deceive ourselves so the end of sin has not yet come. After all, this is what the righteous are all desperately longing for and we will all know when it has come.
In Matthew 24 The disciples asked Jesus, “what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” In His answer to them He said that when they see the abomination of desolation spoken about by the prophet Daniel it would mean that a time of great tribulation has come. This tribulation will be greater than any other and there never will be another like it. He goes on to tell us that immediately after the tribulation there will be amazing signs in heaven and the appearing of the Son of Man to gather His elect from the earth.
The timing of the cutting off of the Messiah was given as 62 weeks after the command to rebuild the temple. The Jews have a double meaning for the word week. One of those meanings refers to the week of years also known as a Shemitah. Every week of years was constantly being counted and they would have known that this was the meaning once they saw that 62 weeks of days had gone by and nothing happening with Daniel’s prophecy. After more than 400 years they saw their Messiah and He was cut off but not for Himself.
Many have tried to calculate when the mystery week of prophecy would take place and the clues given by Jesus about it being at His second coming and also the time of the end where things will be at their worst in all of the ages of the world make it pretty clear that they haven’t happened yet.
We can estimate that we are getting very close to that time, however. Israel is now planning the construction of the third temple, for which, they have all the furniture and artifacts crafted and are training a team of priests to worship in right now.
There is a severe excitation in the Middle East to bring about an Islamic caliphate with their own prophecies indicating a return of the Mahdi who will supposedly have Christ with him who will execute the infidels and help destroy the little and big Satan.
We also see within the United States a great falling away and a taking up of idols in very public places like the Empire State Building and Washington DC.
And we see a sign in the sky this month of a woman with 12 stars upon her head, clothed with the sun and the moon at her feet with a planet at her center remaining in retrograde for the total length of a pregnancy which comes to a final exit from the middle section of Virgo at the day of the Feast of Trumpets which is the day associated with the rapture of the Body of Christ.
Yes, I think it will be VERY SOON!
For anyone wondering if the dragon is included in the sign I mentioned, here’s the best link I could find, (take the name of the video with a grain of salt because it doesn’t matter what the world thinks this object is; it definitely fits the bill.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJLdws9heBE&index=6&list=PLBBDFD08F2382ED81&t=397s
Revelation 12 describes the birth of the Early Church, which was through much pain and suffering; as Satan used the Roman Emperors to try to wipe out the Early Church, killing 10 million saints.
Satan is the dragon, the serpent of old. And the Romans used a dragon on their banners.
Ultimately the saints prevailed, by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony. And the Roman Empire declined due to civil wars, famine and pestilence; and fell when armies attacked it, and removed the last Western Roman Emperor from power in 476 A.D.

Daniel 9:24 is not saying that all transgression would end, by the time that the 70 weeks were fulfilled. It is pointing to the Jews, who worst transgression was delivering their promised Messiah up to be killed. And Messiah’s blood sacrifice as the Passover Lamb ended the need for temple sacrifices (oblations), which was validated when the Father tore the temple curtain in two.
The Jews and Messiah fulfilled all that was described in Daniel 9:24. Here is the study that proves it out: http://70thweekofdaniel.com/messiah-fulfilled-the-purposes-of-daniel-924-during-the-70th-week-of-daniel/
The text clearly says that Messiah would appear after the 62 weeks, which was after the 7 weeks; so it is saying that Messiah would appear after the 69th week; meaning, in the 70th week.
The text clearly says that Messiah would be ‘cut off’, killed, in the middle of the last week, in the middle of the 70th week. And that His sacrifice would end the need for temple sacrifices, as His blood sacrifice as the Passover Lamb paid the price for all transgressions.
Messiah ratified the everlasting covenant as the Passover Lamb. It is not speaking about an antichrist peace agreement in a futuristic end-times 7-year tribulation period. http://70thweekofdaniel.com/the-covenant-of-the-70th-week-of-daniel/
One cannot insert a 2,000 year time gap in the middle of the 69th and 70th week, as the text does not define a time gap. And if if 70 week prophecy is not fulfilled in 70 consecutive weeks, then it is invalid.
As for the supposed Revelation 12 sign on 09-23-17, that is based on false premises.
The 12 stars are ALWAYS above Virgo’s head, in the 9 stars of Leo and the 3 stars of the constellation Coma Berenices, which means ‘diadem’, the crown. Spica does not mark Virgo’s left hip, it marks the wheat in her left hand, so Jupiter NEVER enters her body, but only passes through her left arm. This supposed fulfillment of Revelation 12 is a grand deception from the enemy!

Actually, history does not bear out your testimony. The sacrifices continued for many years after the death and resurrection of Christ. When believers set out to prove a doctrine, it should always be as those who are teachable. Unfortunately, there have been many who have taken up sides on the end times prophecies within scripture. Instead of continuing this debate which is unedifying to the Body of Christ, I would like to offer a spiritual peace offering as a point of view for the subject.
There is a great hope that exists within the world today. Though society is decaying around us a chosen and transformed people are following marching orders from a heavenly commander who has promised them something. An end to the struggle against sin and against a common enemy, who is Satan. We’re driven by a glorious enthusiasm for a future that even angels have tried to look into but have failed. I submit that the future arrival of the Lord and the subsequent reshaping of the planet is the main focus and purpose behind this faith. Without it, this would all be meaningless. There is no greater thing for me than the transformative love that pours out from the heart of He who is shining like a morning star into our spirit and giving us gladness to replace our sorrows. I will worship my King, my friend, my comforter and my hero; for He is the Lord that remembers! He has not forgotten His promises and very soon He will swiftly bring them to fruition. There is a resurrection of the dead and it is my exceedingly great joy to live in a time and among a generation of people that may not taste of death and, therefore, be instantly caught up to be with Him in glory. For we have been fixed within Christ as members of His heavenly body which is the New Jerusalem which will come down from heaven. As this day approaches, we who have been filled with the Holy Spirit are receiving dreams, visions and great revelations. These impartations are in agreement with the others and they are accelerating like a stop watch that is counting down to midnight. They all share the theme of the Bridegroom coming to call us away to hide us in His house that He has prepared for us and some of the revelations have revealed what will be happening during the King’s reign here on earth. The Spirit who says all these things to us is the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead and testifies with us that we are His children and, now, enables us to know the mind and heart of Abba; Father. There is no counterfeit available in this world or the next for the working of His Spirit, though many have doubted because of the fear that there may be.
Jonathan, Messiah’s death ended THE NEED for additional sacrifices, as He ratified the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Passover Lamb; which paid the price for all sins. And we know that the Father confirmed this when the temple curtain was torn in two.
The Jewish High Priest and leaders did not accept the promised Messiah, so they continued making sacrifices.
The sacrifices were stopped when the temple was destroyed and the Jewish leadership system diminished, in 70 A.D.; which is the proper context of the Olivet Discourse, Daniel 9 and Daniel 12.
Yes, but to say that this was the 70th week of Daniel leaves much of the scriptures out. Not to mention that it would mean that a majority of the church has been in error for centuries; God manages His people better than that. Those that are led by the Spirit have always been present among us to guide us into all truths.
To say that a 70 week prophecy was not fulfilled in 70 consecutive weeks is illogical!
All that was defined to happen in the 70 weeks, was fulfilled. And the result of the Jews rejecting their promised Messiah and delivering Him up to be killed, was played out within that generation of Jews; just like Messiah said, as recorded in Matthew 23 and 24.
The majority of the saints knew the truth for many hundreds of years. It’s only during the last few centuries that the futuristic deceptions have taken hold in the church.
Read the explanation from the protestant reformers of the 16th century, they knew the truth about the 70th week. http://70thweekofdaniel.com/geneva-bible-commentary-on-the-70-weeks-of-daniel/
Read Adam Clarke’s Commentary On The 70 Weeks Of Daniel 9, from the early 19th century http://70thweekofdaniel.com/adam-clarkes-commentary-on-the-70-weeks-of-daniel-9/
Read John Gill’s Commentary On The 70 Weeks Of Daniel 9, from the 18th century. http://70thweekofdaniel.com/john-gills-exposition-on-the-70-weeks-of-daniel-9/

The Jews having rejected the Messiah is exactly the reason why the prophecy was interrupted. When God prophecies, through Jonah, that Nineva would be destroyed, they repented and the prophecy was interrupted. It’s not that strange to say that God does this. I’m a little Leary about reading material that steps outside if the instructions given me directly by God. I can’t help but wonder, though; do you believe in a second coming of Christ?
Read Acts and you see that on the day of Pentecost, Jews from all over the world had gathered in Jerusalem, and when they heard the gospel in their language, 3,000 Jews believed in Messiah that day. And no doubt they returned home and preached to other Jews.
Acts 2:41 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls”.
The disciples kept preaching to the Jews and Acts 4:4 reports, “Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.”
Acts 5:14 “And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.”
Acts 5:42 “And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”
Acts 6:7 “And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.”
So we can clearly see that Jews did accept Messiah, and that the foundation of the church was built on these believing Jews.
The hard-hearted Pharisees, who Messiah said were a generation of vipers, who were of Satan; yes, they rejected Messiah and delivered Him up to be killed. If all Jews had accepted Him, He would not have been delivered up to be killed.
So your point has no merit.
Do I believe in a second coming of Messiah? Absolutely, and we are in the middle of the 6th bowl, in which Messiah proclaimed that He is coming as a thief in the night. He will be as a thief to those who don’t know prophecy fulfillment.
Here is a Revelation fulfillment summary study, which shows how much has already been fulfilled during the last 1,900 years (most of it); where we are at now on the fulfillment timeline (in the 6th bowl); and what will happen next as we await Messiah’s return. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/revelation-fulfillment-timeline-summary/
I pray that you consider that I am in your path for a reason. I don’t know all prophecy fulfillment, but I know a lot. You’ve been given links to the studies. I pray that you read them and consider the explanations, for they are not just my explanations, for many saints taught the same things during the 16th-20th centuries, before the futuristic deception crept into the church.
Hello.
My name is Brendan and I’m feeling a bit anxious about the September 23 2017 prophecy that will be fulfilled on that day? Can you please help me why?
Hello Brendan,
I researched this and found out that there are ALWAYS 12 stars above Virgo’s head, in the 9 stars of Leo and the 3 stars of the constellation Coma Berenices, which means ‘diadem’, the crown. Spica does not mark Virgo’s left hip, it marks the wheat in her left hand, so Jupiter NEVER enters her body, but only passes through her left arm. Be careful, as this supposed sign may be a setup from the enemy, to cause Christians to be disappointed if/when Messiah doesn’t return. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/revelation12sign
Revelation 12 describes the birth of the Early Church, which was through much pain and suffering; as Satan used the Roman Emperors to try to wipe out the Early Church, killing 10 million saints. Ultimately the saints prevailed, by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony. And the Roman Empire declined due to civil wars, famine and pestilence; and fell when armies attacked it, and removed the last Western Roman Emperor from power in 476 A.D. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/revelation-12-the-pagan-roman-empire-beast/
If your theology is right. You leave revelation and old testaments end time prophecies «not understandable» and open for wide discussions and a lots of «we dont know»’s
There were no floods in 70ad as daniel says.
-what about the old man coming, «old of days» with the book..
The gap you present with you understanding of scriptures is much bigger than the
One week of tribulation in the end times
All the rumors of wars and earthquakes
All Islands moving from theyre places
Moon dark, sun dark as a sack of hairs etc etc
And the historical facts about those times are not equal with yours.
What exactly is about to happen next for us christians/jews/nonbelievers
In your understanding of endtimes?
Is all revelation done with?
You can really fit your belief in the word of Gid to some point, but then it stops. What is next? I cannot fully commit to your understanding when YOU who declare yourself sitting on the truth, answer people YOU considerr tobe in the dark with demanding them answer YOUR questions before you will answer theyres?! Thats not LOVE. Its YOU who has put this on web. And when people trues to understand what you believe, and points out things they find «weak» then you SHOULD tesch them the WHOLE TRUTH as Jesus say HE DOES. And not leave people in the dark. Thats scary enough for me .. i dont find thats love… thats tryin to convince people of YOUR belief . Because YOU where not «safe» and steady in the beginning with. Studying to become apart of a system is not the same as your lost if youre not convinced to a belief that is not proven to be aligned with the Word. You present a little puzzle and leading many christians away from theyre future hope. But you are not shure what will happen next? Beacause you have not the scripture for it. Youve already used them. So who is in the dark or light, truth/ not truth about the end times? Those who is in the light, and align with the word of God, WILL gladly lead others to the truth. NOT demanding answer to questions before answering back.
Kjell, this study series focuses on the 70th week of Daniel.
I haven’t left anyone in the dark. On the right side of this website are links to my other Bible prophecy study series.
Here is my study series about the fulfillment of the Olivet Discourse, which includes the Romans flooding into Jerusalem to desolate the temple, city and Jews. http://theolivetdiscourse.com
Here is my study series about the fulfillment of Revelation, most of which has taken place during the last 1,900 years, since it was written. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com
Greetings! Prophecy cannot be interpreted literally so why try to make 70 weeks literal?
In scriptural numerics the number 70 represents the punishment and restoration of Israel. We are all Israel today and those that are redeemable will be restored to the planet after the Millennial Reign as new Jerusalem. Be sure to read the God-breathed Book, The Journey Through Tribulation by Mikah, available at Amazon, to get the complete and true interpretation of Daniel and Revelation.
Mikah, my explanation is the fulfillment of the 70 weeks of Daniel in 490 years, not 70; so I have not given a literal explanation.
If the 70 weeks of Daniel prophecy is not pointing to 70 prophetic weeks, then how were the Jews supposed to know when their promised Messiah would appear?
Why would the angel give Daniel a specific number, if it’s not going to be fulfilled in a specific time frame?
The prophecies in Revelation point to literal events, but it uses symbols (which are defined in the Old Testament) to give the explanation; as it’s a coded war manual. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com
If Daniels 70 weeks has already occurred David, then correct me if I’m wrong, but the last week of years would have begun in the year 29AD at the beginning of Christ’s ministry. Then by 33AD He was ‘cut off’ and then by 36AD the 70th week was complete and the prophecy would be sealed up. This is based on 483 years (69 weeks) after 455BC which is the generally accepted date of the going forth of the commandment.
The temple wasn’t destroyed until 70AD so in this model there is a 34 year discrepancy in the prophecy. How do you get around that?
Actually I am slightly incorrect in the previous comment.
455BC is correct for the date of the going forth of the word as this happened in the 20th year of the reign of King Artexexes. Nehemiah 2. The temple would then have been built 7 weeks (or 49 years) later placing the building of the temple at 406BC.
Daniel 9 goes on to say that after a further 62 weeks (434 years) the Messiah would be ‘cut off’. I was incorrect in stating he just began his ministry on this date because that’s not what Daniel 9 says.
If the date of 455BC is correct, Christ was crucified in 28AD. And from this date on was the beginning of the 70th week according to your view, or the last 7 years before the destruction of Israel.. This would put the fulfilment of the prophecy at 35AD. The temple was destroyed in 70AD so this interpretation is incorrect wouldn’t you agree?
The final decree to empower the Jews to complete the rebuilding of the temple and city, and to start temple sacrifices, was in 457 A.D.; so that puts the 70th week at 27-34 A.D. Messiah was born in 3 B.C., so He would have been age 30 in 27 A.D.
The things to be completed in the 70 weeks are defined in Daniel 9:24; some of which were fulfilled by the Jews, but most of them by Messiah. http://70thweekofdaniel.com/messiah-fulfilled-the-purposes-of-daniel-924-during-the-70th-week-of-daniel/
The prophecy of the temple and city being desolated is not defined as having to occur in the 70 week; but is the result of the Jewish leaders delivering Messiah up to be killed, during the 70th week of Daniel.
If you’re understanding of the date for the beginning of the 70 weeks is correct then 490 years from 457BC would put us in 33AD. With the last 7 starting in 26AD. -457+490 = 33AD. 33-7 = 26. OK.
V.26 says that the Messiah will be ‘cut off’ after 69 weeks. 7 weeks from the going out of the decree to the construction of the temple and then a further 62 weeks until the Messiah is ‘cut off’. So, 69 x 7 weeks = 483 years. -457BC+483 =26AD. This is the date He was cut off. The Hebrew word for cut off is ‘Kareth’ meaning extinction of life. So this must refer to the year He was crucified.
At the end of the 70th week the transgression will be finished, there will be no more sin, there will be reconciliation for iniquity, there will be everlasting righteousness, the vision and prophecy will be sealed up and the most Holy will be anointed.
v.27 tells us what’s going to happen in the 70th week.
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.
If you believe 70 weeks is historic then why did the sacrifices continue until the temple was destroyed in 70AD? This is well outside the prophetic timeline. According to v.27 the sacrifices would have to cease during that last 7 years leading up to 33AD. But they didn’t.
The bible is quite clear that we don’t live in a time of prophecy now. Instead we live in a time that Paul describes as ‘mystery’. This time period that we live in now was not prophesied in the OT. It was hidden. The Father didn’t make a mistake He just kept it quiet until the time was right. Paul says in Colossians 1: 25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Tim, there is no year ‘0’, so 490 years from 457 B.C. is 34 A.D.
The text clearly says that He was ‘cut off’ in the middle of the 70th week.
His sacrifice as the Passover Lamb ended the NEED for temple sacrifices, as no other sacrifice is needed, since He was the one-time atonement for our sins.
David, you say the text clearly says that He was ‘cut off’ in the middle of the 70th week?
V. 25 = 7 weeks
+
V. 26 = 62 weeks = 69 weeks. Then shall Messiah be cut off. How is this in the middle of the 70th week?
Daniel 9:27 tells us that Messiah caused the need for sacrifices to cease in the middle of the week, “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,”
That happened when He was ‘cut off’, killed, as the Passover Lamb, which ended the need for temple sacrifices. The Father caused the temple curtain to be torn in two, confirming that the need for sacrifices ended with His Son’s death.
Yes. It does say that Messiah will put an end to the sacrifices and offerings in the middle of the 70th week David, the prophecy is 100% accurate but the problem with what you are saying is that He was ‘cut off’ at the end of the 69th week. 3.5 years earlier than what you are thinking.
Yes, at Christ’s death and resurrection at the end of the 69th week the need for sacrifice was not necessary, and yes, the curtain was torn in 2 in the temple to back this up, the scripture says that and I agree with it. But timing is important here. Romans tells us that Israel was blinded for our sake for a time. That they will be dealt with in the future. The 70th week can’t have come into play yet. It’s not possible.
When it does it lasts 7 years, Messiah will once and for all put an end to the sacrificial system as described in v.27 in the middle of the week or after 3.5 years. Oh. How can the sacrificial system be reinstated in the future though? Not through God, through Antichrist. 2 Thes 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Notice here how the Lord will consume the wicked with the Spirit of His mouth and with the brightness of His coming? This is future as Christ has quite obviously not come to destroy the wicked yet.
You said that the ‘he’ in Daniel 9:27 is Messiah, but then somehow apply the 70th week to an end times antichrist. That makes no sense.
This website explains how Messiah appeared AFTER the 69th week. He was anointed at His baptism to start His ministry. He ministered for several years, as witnessed by the Passovers mentioned in the book of John.
So we can clearly see that His ministry took place in the 70th week, so it is not future.
He was killed halfway through the seven years, at the 3 1/2 year point. His disciples only preached to the Jews for the next 3 1/2 years, during the rest of the 7th week of Daniel. And then after Stephen was stoned to death, marking the Jewish leader final rejection of Messiah, the narrative of Acts changes dramatically, and the Gospel is also preached to the gentile nations.
So we can clearly see that the Jews were given seven years, during the 70th week, to accept the promised Messiah.
Everything that was defined in Daniel 9:24 to take place in the 70 weeks, was fulfilled.
And the result of the Jewish leaders rejecting their promised Messiah and delivering Him up to be killed, was carried out in that generation of Jews; just like Messiah proclaimed in His Olivet Discourse. http://theolivetdiscourse.com
We are not waiting on a one-man antichrist to appear in the end-times, as the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome have fulfilled that role since the 6th century. They have proclaimed to be God, to be Jesus Christ in the flesh, to forgive sins and to provide salvation; thus they have taken the place of Christ, and are anti-Christ. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-antichrist-sea-beast-of-revelation-13-is-the-popes-of-the-roman-catholic-church/
Well I am 100% incorrect in suggesting messiah in v.27 is the true Messiah.. Hence the confusion… It does not make sense and I apologise for my error.. Not quite sure how I mixed it up but again I am sorry. Let’s get it right this time.
Please let us look at v.26 & 27 to check it again.
26 “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,”
V.26 must be referring to the true Messiah. Christ’s death, resurrection and ascension is the Messiah being ‘cut off’ as it is exactly 483 years from the going forth of the commandment..
“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.”
As Messiah was ‘cut off’ in the first part of v.26, the verse now changes it’s focus to the ‘prince to come’ who clearly is not the Messiah as the true Messiah was ‘cut off’ at the beginning of the verse. The ‘prince that shall come’ is antichrist and the people with him is everyone who rejects Christ’s offer of salvation.
27 “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:”
This is most definitely antichrist confirming a 7 year covenant with Israel.
“and in the midst of the week he shall cause”
The antichrist again here.. 3 and 1/2 years into the last 7 years, duping Israel into believing he is the true Messiah.
“the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,”
But wait… 1/2 way through the week he stops the sacrifices!! Exactly! Israel now realise the true Messiah was the one whom they crucified and rejected 2000 years ago! What have they done! They now realise that this messiah whom they thought was the Messiah is in fact the ‘son of perdition’.
“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 the world will move into it’s final 3.5 years of great tribulation with Israel taking the gospel to the ends of the earth and then the end will come, and so all Israel will be saved.
Romans 11 says that Israel is currently blinded so this is no surprise that they will be duped into accepting an antichrist, but it also says that they will be saved. Interestingly, there are plans in place for the construction of a third temple, the heifers necessary for sacrifice are ready to go in Israel as we speak.
I’m learning a lot through our conversations. Thank you!
All you’ve done is tell me how I’m wrong, so I’m not sure what you are learning. You still assign the 70th week of Daniel to the future. You assign Scripture that is about the Messiah, to an end times antichrist.
David, I haven’t done anything other than read what the scripture actually says. No website or book or anything else can refute it. So if we read the scripture and The scripture shows my belief or my understanding is wrong then its wrong. You, perhaps unknowingly pointed out an error in my understanding and I’m thankful for that because the truth is even clearer now. I understand Daniels prophecy more clearly than I ever have before.
There’s no use worrying about whether I’m wrong or whether you’re wrong. Who really cares? As long as we are open and willing to accept truth no matter how unusual it may seem.
The people of the Old Covenant were given a deadline of 70 weeks of years to anoint Messiah. No more. They ended circa AD 34.
Having read through the comments, I honestly struggle to see how the 70 weeks prophecy can be understood as anything other than what it plainly describes: a contiguous period of 490 years commencing from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. During that time, the Jews were to prepare for and receive Messiah. The idea of the final week being different and somehow drawn out across centuries is just not supported by the text.
Following the 70 weeks (circa AD34) and after an unspecified time period, the one who desolates the temple (which Christians understand as the Body of Christ, the Church) arrives.
Why is there a desire to read it any other way than what it plainly says?
Hi David,
I am sure you know that Trump is moving the Israel capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. I think that many of the signs are pointing towards the fact that Daniels 70th week (1 week peace treaty might actually be fulfilled very soon). It seems like everything is lining up for a potential war then peace, or the fact that a 2-state solution will be put into place where they can worship in peace, and thus starting Daniels 70th week.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5FOAx1ix70
Thoughts?
Hi Matt,
Yeah, I saw the announcement. It’s causing quite the stir.
The enemy is going to play out their false script. This move will lead to a lot of violence from the Palestinians, which will lead to a peace agreement with a two-state solution.
But all of that is just a deception to fool the world and to fool Christians.
In this study series I’ve proven that the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled on time, after the 69th week.
And in my Revelation Timeline Decoded study series I’ve proven how most of Revelation has already been fulfilled. We are in the midst of the 6th bowl, waiting on WW III between Muslim countries (the kings of the East) and Israel; and Trump’s declaration just moved us closer to that. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/revelation-fulfillment-timeline-summary/
My thought is that I hope that you will read that summary study to see the truth, so that you can see that people like Irwin Baxter are misleading you.
Hi David,
I am new to your web site. What I have read so far I am in agreement with except for one thing. In the box, outlined in red, you have the “healing of the deadly wound” occurring in 538 AD. This was the beginning of the empowerment of the papacy. The deadly wound came in 1798 when the pope was dethroned and taken captive. Since 1798, we have been witnessing the “healing of the deadly wound.” I am thinking your placing the “healing” with the date 538 was something like a “typo error” based on the accuracy of what I have been reading on your site.
It’s not a typo Glenn. The head was the Roman Emperor, who was removed from power in 476 A.D. Then the Popes rose to power and were given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome. They took the title of the Emperors, Pontifex Maximus, the leader of church and state, and the deadly head wound was healed.
Note that the declaration that the deadly head wound was healed was proclaimed early in the description of the sea beast of Revelation 13, not late; which indicates that it happened at the beginning of their 1,260 year reign, not at the end.
Daniel pointed to the same event, when He described the Little Horn on Daniel 7, the Popes of Rome; rising to power out of the 10 civil kingdoms of the fallen Roman Empire.
The Apostle Paul pointed to the same event, that the Roman Emperors were ‘restraining’ the Popes, the Son of Perdition, from taking power.
Revelation 17 describes the 8th king, the Popes of Rome, rising to power out of the Roman Empire.
The significance of the Popes taking power after the Western Roman Emperors were removed from power, was foretold by Daniel, Paul and John. Here’s a study that provides more information. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/prophecy-points-to-the-leader-of-the-roman-beast/
Here’s a video on which I explain the transition of power from the Emperors to the Popes. https://youtu.be/Etl1IQ7Kdys
What we have witnessed since 1798 is the creation of the ‘image of the beast’ by the false prophet Jesuit General.
The beast is the church/state of Rome, which was controlled by the Popes for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 A.D. In 1929, the Jesuits caused the Vatican to become a state again; so that the Pope is the leader of the church and state of Rome.
But it is just an image, because the truth is that the false prophet Jesuit General controls the Vatican and the Pope. The Black Pope exercises his authority in front of the White Pope. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-earth-beast-of-revelation-13-jesuit-generals-of-rome/
I hope that helps. Keep learning and growing in The Way!
David
David,
Below is a link to a video of Walter Veith, which confirms everything explained here in this chapter:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI8zk4g804o
Maybe you can add it to the video section of this topic, if considered of added value.
Btw, the already included videos there are very good examples too!
David,
Is this really how you run your web site? Do you really delete any comments or questions which challenge your positions which you cannot defend?
Your brother in Christ,
Bruce
Bruce, I have not deleted any comments or questions. Maybe you’re looking on the wrong page. David
So sorry brother!
Yes I was looking on the wrong page! Will continue the discussion on the original page!
Bruce
Bruce, you’re welcome to comment on this website, but I’m done answering your questions. I have other projects to work on, and you disagree with the whole premise of my explanation, so there’s no point in continuing this discussion. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
Thank you so very much, I’ve been seeking the truth with all my being and as you may already know it’s not an easy thing when one doesn’t know where to begin. However I ended up here and feel blessed due to the wonderful fact I’ve learned so much truth here…I shall be back..
God bless you to continue Sharing the truth and open up people’s hearts..For me reading about the Jews who are not of Abraham was a relief as my heart knew something wasn’t right I undrstood by researching that the Jews of Israel converted and are of Turkish decent…I use to beg God’s forgiveness for not being able to love these people , how can I when what they’ve done to Palistinians.? Thank you David.
Thank you for your comment Denyse! I’m blessed to know that the studies have helped you see Scriptural truth. There’s many deceptions to be sure.
Yeah, the situation in Israel with the Ashkenazi Jews and the Palestinians is a tough one to watch. It’s made tougher by Christians supporting the Zionist state of Israel, instead of understanding that it’s the Satan worshiping Jesuit Rothschild family who helped found the modern state of Israel; which is why the Satanic hexagram is on the Israeli flag.
This Revelation study on the 6th bowl explains more about the Khazar Jews in Israel. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-sixth-bowl-of-revelation-16/
Keep learning and growing in The Way! Feel free to contact me anytime with questions or insight on the studies.
Blessings to you,
David
Hi David. All my life I’ve been taught the “traditional” 70 weeks of Daniel. Honestly, this is the first time that I can recall this explanation. I must say that it has my attention! I have been troubled by the “traditional” teaching. I just didn’t line up for me and it has stalled my studies of scripture and my relationship with the Father. Of course, that troubles me much more because I truly believe! I’m going to continue with your teachings because I feel that your explanation will make some other things that have confused me with the scriptures be much clearer and I’ve known that the Father doesn’t want to confuse us but Satan sure will. Thank you and God Bless!
Hi Matthew. The prophecy fulfillment deceptions of the enemy are based on a futuristic 70th week of Daniel, so when that foundation is removed, the rest of the narrative of the fulfillment of the one-man antichrist and the fulfillment of Revelation, all come tumbling down.
Here’s a ‘Bible Prophecy Made Easy’ study that helps you see the big picture of prophecy fulfillment; to see what has already been fulfilled; to see where we are at now on the fulfillment timeline; and to see what will happen next as we await Messiah’s return. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/bible-prophecy-made-easy/
I recommend using the green Print/PDF button on the bottom of the study to print it out, as it’s a lot to take in, because it’s contrary to the futuristic explanations of most Pastors.
Contact me anytime with questions and insight about the studies.
May the Spirit guide you in truth!
David
Yes, I agree 100% with you David.
Anyone who studies both the Old & New Testament for themselves – instead of simply watching youtube videos from Christian Zionist teachers – cannot fail to understand this.
A former Christian Zionist (Steve Gregg) does a very good teaching on this on youtube.
We really have to pray that these people come out of that terrible deception.
Thank you for your comment Christine! Sadly, most Christians are deceived my this terrible deception. All we can do is teach truth and pray that people would have eyes to see. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
if the jews in Israel are not the Jews of Abaraham, then where are they?
People have written books about where they live, but I’ve not studied it enough to say. They were dispersed among the nations.
Thank you David, Outstanding website
Thank you for your comment! Please share the 70th week of Daniel studies with others, so that they can know the glorious truth about the fulfillment; and so that they can see the deception of the enemy.
Keep learning and growing in The Way!
David
Thank you David
I dont know why none of my comments showed up except the thank you one, I just found this website a few days ago. We agree on all the real important things, I had posted about an end of this age nation that Yahweh calls the “Daughter of Babylon” this is a 180 from religious Babylon which I have no doubts is Papal Rome, but the Daughter is positively a nation, there are over 100 characteristics that fit America like tailor made glove, in fact anyone reading these prophecies would soon realize these prophecies seem to be meant for America, anyone that knows the history of America that is, here is a small sampling: 1. Comes from a mother nation, this mother nation becomes just a shadow of it’s former glory days, Great Britain? 2. Rises up in a wilderness. 3. Marches through the land taking it from others. 4.Is made up of many races of peoples, has many Jews. 5.Has many resources, many lakes, rivers and rivers that divide the land. 6 Called the Hammer of the whole Earth, some have called America the world’s policeman.7.Mounts it defenses up to the heavens, America has NASA and the most advanced Air Force, land of whirring wings. 8 Has no king,Some form of government that the people have a voice.9 Home of the rich men, the people have a better standard of living than the rest of the world. 10. Was a Godly nation with many blessings but changes much for the worse. 11.The prophets seem to be describing the new immigrants as they’re likened to Locusts because they are so destructive Muslims are already showing they are not about to assimilate, just like their almost 1400 years history proves and the prophet describes a type of government breakdown, this sounds like what might happen during Trumps time. This is just a sample of a nation that seem like America.
All of your comments were approved, so they should all be showing up. Where did you post “an end of this age nation that Yahweh calls the “Daughter of Babylon””?
Hello Brother David: All that I have posted on here is on the “The 70th Week Of Daniel Deception” It’s hard to believe that the majority of pastors are teaching this lie, as for the Rapture, the Messiah plainly states that the Tares are taken first, Corrie Ten Boom could have told the pre-Trib-Rapture people a lot. I just realized that my posting problem was probably due to logging in properly, today was my first posts, as I’m new to this site, since I believe May 23, 2018 Thanks for asking. Jack
Hi David: It showed up, I rewrote it and posted it again, thinking it got lost in cyber-world.
End-times people like to hear fables:
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” (2Ti 4:3-4)
We all know, all these “left behind” books and movies, with vehicles left without drivers and airplanes without pilots that crash everywhere, all that sells. A millions dollars industry…
Yeah Marc, it’s hard to watch people being deceived, and the deceivers making money doing it. People like dramatic explanations. I think that the historical fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel is dramatic, as it was the high point of this world, when Messiah died as the Passover Lamb for our sins; and then rose again! 🙂
“This is the very reason that the end times 7 year tribulation deception was created by the Roman Catholic Church.”
It’s even possible that it’s a whole end times 70 weeks (490 years) deception:
In year 1535, the Vatican ordered the painting of the Sixtin Chapel representing end times, the same year that Suleiman the Magnificent ordered the reconstruction of the walls of Jerusalem, after having received a “vision of God”. It looks like a second fulfillment of Daniel 9 starting in 1535AD, with the 69th weeks ending in… 2018!, and the 70th week ending in 2025, that curiously is short of another 7 years period until 2032 that is two days (or 2000 years if 1 day = 1000 years) since the crucifixion (“After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight” of Hosea 6:2). It look’s like a second fulfillment of Daniel 9. At the first fullfilment, the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt but later demolished again, but since the walls were rebuilt after the year 1535AD, the walls were never demolished. They are still standing here now, making the second fulfillment looking even better, with the six days war occuring after 62 “weeks” and the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel after another 7 weeks… It’s very strange!
Marc, I don’t believe in multiple fulfillment of prophecy. Sure, there are generic things that happen over and over, but when it comes to a specific prophecy like the 70 weeks of Daniel, I believe that there’s only one fulfillment.
The 70th weeks pointed to the rebuilding of the city and temple, which was desolated by the Babylonians. And the 70th week pointed to the arrival of the promised Messiah. http://70thweekofdaniel.com/an-end-times-70th-week-of-daniel-is-illogical/
So, what I wanted to say, is that it’s a man-made 2nd fulfillment, a COMPLETE 70 weeks deception (not only a 70th week deception)?
That’s interesting Marc. I’ve only really seen people applying the 70th week to the future, not the whole 70 weeks.
What I think is that the devil is not stupid, but very wily. To be able to deceive as many people as possible – “if it were possible even the elects” – a simple appearance of an antichrist cannot work as everybody know that the second coming of Christ only happens after him. But by creating a false fulfillment of Daniel 9, with a false antichrist in the 70th weeks, then the true antichrist that follows the false one can easily deceive people into believing that he is the Christ, since the false antichrist will have already been blasted (by him as a false miracle). Only this way may all people that are not true Christians be deceived… We are seing the whole world being made as horrible as possible, in preparation for the fake “peace and safety” time that will follow…
Sadly, most Christians are already fooled about the antichrist, as the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill Bible prophecy as the Little Horn of Daniel 7, the Son of Perdition of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the antichrist beast of Revelation; who leads the harlot church of Rome, which now deceives 1.2 billion Catholics with a false salvation message. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/prophecy-points-to-the-leader-of-the-roman-beast/
Now we have an interesting new:
“WASHINGTON – A LONG-AWAITED MIDDLE_EAST peace plan from the Trump administration will include what the White House is calling a ROBUST economic plan to help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an official has said.”
“LONG-AWAITED” — yet to be “confirmed”
“ROBUST” plan — “solid alliance”
“MIDDLE-EAST” (not only Israel / Palestine) — “with many”
confirm… solid alliance… with many…
Sounds like Daniel 9:27, no? And we are in the 70th week since Suleiman the Magnificent ordered the reconstruction of Jerusalem walls in 1535 AD…

The enemy is going to play out their false script, which is based on the false concept of a futuristic 70th week of Daniel.
You need to study a little more. It may be true that Rood and some others are mistaken. But, they are not false teachers. The true teachings of God is love and forgiveness. This brother you do not illustrate. Secondly, we are to study to show ourselves worthy. I’m sorry that I don’t agree with you but my seminary training did not teach what you are practicing. Why argue grow brother and teach yourself to be less critical.
God Bless You
I teach the truth out of love for the saints, and part of that role is exposing the false prophecy teachings of people like Rood.
I’ve proven out that the 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled on time, and that it’s not a futuristic 7-year tribulation period.
Most likely you were deceived about that at seminary, as the enemy has infiltrated the teachings of most seminaries and bible colleges.
There’s no argument. What Rood teaches about prophecy fulfillment is false, and it’s giving people who follow him, a false script, so that they may be misled by the antichrist and false prophet.
Is Rood teaching you that the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill prophecy as the Son of Perdition and the antichrist beast?
Is Rood teaching you that most of Revelation has already been fulfilled during the last 1,900 years, as Satan has used the Roman beast to fight against Messiah and His saints?
Here’s a Revelation Fulfillment Summary that gives the big pictures, and the studies on the website prove it out verse by verse.
Is Rood teaching you that Messiah’s Olivet Discourse was fulfilled in that generation, just like Messiah’s proclaimed that it would be?
You need to study a lot more Gary, for you will be held accountable for what you teach about prophecy fulfillment.
May the Spirit of our Father guide you to the truth!
David
Thank you David for this great study! (btw, I am Rood e Lynn on facebook)
Thank you for your comment Sheila! 🙂
Hello.
I am 65 years old and have been a minister of the Evangelical Church Alliance since 1980. My studies in Scripture have been deep and wide ranging. You should come to a clearer understanding of the Hebrew word olam and its derivative. This entry from my upcoming book, God willing, should prove helpful.
The Hebrew language also has a word that has been dragged through the mud of the Latin language and twisted in the sick mind and dark heart of the Big Whore which uses Latin for everything. (I thank God that He did not see fit to inspire either the Hebrew Scriptures nor the Christian Scriptures in Latin.) The Hebrew word I am speaking of is olam and the term l’olam va’ed. Neither of these mean eternal, everlasting, or forever. Here is their definition from a Jewish source, jewishroots.net: “The Hebrew word olam means in the far distance. When looking off in the far distance it is difficult to make out any details and what is beyond the horizon cannot be seen. This concept is the olam. The word olam is also used for time in the distant past or in the distant future as a time that is difficult to know or perceive. This word is frequently translated as eternity or forever in the English language but it is misunderstood to mean a continual span of time that never ends. In the Hebrew mind it is simply what is at or beyond the horizon, a very distant time. A common phrase in the Hebrew is “l’olam va’ed” and is usually translated as “forever and ever” but in the Hebrew it means “to the distant horizon and again” meaning “to a very distant time and even further” and is used to express the idea of a very ancient or future time.” Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, Tartarus are all of limited duration not eternal. To believe these are eternal is to bite into one of the biggest lies of the Big Whore and thereafter to have a mutant Bible with a mutant “gospel” and a mutant message to carry to the world. An ugly message of eternal wrath, eternal bondage, and eternal torture. A terrifying and horribly twisted message indeed.
Please feel free to email me for additional information and/or clarification.
In Christ Jesus our Reigning God,
Rev. Nathaniel J. Merritt
Hello Rev. Merritt, thank you for sharing that insight! You’re commenting on a website about the 70th week of Daniel, but I’m not seeing how the concept of olam applies in this context. Please let me know.
I agree about people not being condemned to hell forever. I don’t believe in eternal wrath either.
Thank you, David
I take the preterist view of Rev, and what applies in Dan. as well. Rev. is a prophecy for the people of the first century church about the forthcoming destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. All of the symbolic “animals” and “people” are either actual historic people or nations, and are hidden because of the persecution by Rome of the Christians of that time. Has NOTHING to do with any futuristic occurrence for us. So many are frightened (to death literally) by the misinterpretation of Rev. People committing suicide, babies killed, aborted because of the fear of “going through” this tribulation thing. Totally false. Talk about false teachers: I would say 99.99% of the Christian church teach falsely about Rev. Dan., and it really disturbs and grieves me.
If the preterist view of prophecy is true, then that means that our Messiah had nothing to say to His Church about the following events which occurred during the last 1,900 years:
Satan using the Roman Empire to kill 10 million saints, in his attempt to wipe out the Early Church.
The fall of the mighty Roman Empire from civil war, disease, famine and financial collapse.
Roman Emperor Constantine and the Roman Bishops creating a new pagan religion of Christianity, the Roman Catechism, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Army after army attacking the great Roman Empire to desolate it, causing the last Roman Emperor to be removed from power in 476 A.D.
The rise of the Popes of Rome to power in the 6th century, who went on to relentlessly burn the Holy Scriptures and kill the saints during the Dark Ages and the Inquisition, during which over 50 million saints were killed.
The Popes of Rome proclaiming blasphemous things, such as they are God, that they forgive sins, that they control the whole world, and condemning saints as heretics.
The translation of the Scriptures into English, German, and other languages, after it had been hidden for so long in Latin by the Papal Church. And the advent of the printing press, which caused Bibles to spread around the world.
Martin Luther, a Catholic Monk, being led to read the Bible to see that the Papal Church was a false Church, a Harlot Church. He responded by posting his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation, causing millions of people to be saved by faith, come out of the Catholic Church and form the Protestant Churches.
The rise of the Jesuit Order, which the Roman Catholic Church empowered, to counter the Reformation, to bring the Protestants back under their power.
The Spanish Inquisition and wholesale slaughter of the saints in France, by order of the Pope of Rome.
The French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, which killed many Catholics, in countries which had previously killed the saints.
The time of the Great Awakening when missionaries traveled around the world spreading the Good News.
All of those events and much more were pointed to by Messiah in His apocalpytic vision.
The Historicist view has been proven out, as most of Revelation has been fulfilled in exacting detail during the last 1,900 years. Here’s a website that proves it out. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com
Absolutely. The 7th Day Adventist Church came into being thanks to the historicist approach to prophecy of William Miller and understood and taught this truth ever since. The 70 weeks being the first 70 weeks of the whole 2300 yr prophesy perhaps lends added weight to it making no sense to detach and throw the 70th week off into the distant unspecified future.
Bill, William Miller wrongly attached the 2,300 days to the 70 week prophecy; which caused him to proclaim that Messiah would return in 1844. But one day does not always point to one year.
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, Feast of Dedication, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the re-dedication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire of the 2nd century BC.
Why did they need to rededicate it? Because Antiochus Epiphanes defiled the sanctuary and caused the daily sacrifice to be taken away for 2,300 days. His persecution of the Jews began in 171 B.C. and the temple was cleansed on December 25, 165 B.C., which is 2,300 days.
The Temple was liberated and rededicated. The festival of Hanukkah was instituted to celebrate this event. Judah ordered the TEMPLE TO BE CLEANSED, a new altar to be built in place of the polluted one and new holy vessels to be made.
That fulfills the 2,300 days prophecy in Daniel 8 “Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; THEN SHALL THE SANCTUARY BE CLEANSED.”
To summarize: Antiochus Epiphanes, the vile person, surrounded Jerusalem with his armies (the abomination of desolation) and killed 10’s of thousands of Jews. They defiled the sanctuary and caused the daily sacrifice to be taken away for 2,300 days (Daniel 8:14). His persecution of the Jews began in 171 B.C. and the temple was cleansed on December 25, 165 B.C., which is 2,300 days.
We can see that the 2,300 days was not pointing to 2,300 years. And the narrative of Messiah returning in 1844, and then the narrative of Messiah entering His “investigative judgment” are built on faulty premises.
Here’s a study that gives more information: http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/daniel-8-2300-days-geneva-study-bible-refutes-sda-2300-years-1844-bible/
Thank you so much brother. God bless you. I was at the Vatican in ’77, Never further from presence of God. Come out of her my people. False teachers are bringing Protestants back! The Jesuits and their minions! Satanic to the core pure blasphemy.
Thank you for your comment George! Yeah, I bet the Vatican is a dark place to visit. 1.3 billion Catholics are deceived by their false salvation message, and into believing that Mary is the intercessor to the Father. And as you noted, they’re drawing the Protestants back, setting them up to join with them in their One World Government.
What irony! People call themselves Protestants, but they don’t protest anymore because they don’t even know that the office of the papacy is the antichrist of Revelation. Ugh!
Liked your discussion! It closely agrees with my 11 page commentary on the Olivet Discourse, which I have been trying to get pastors and others to read. NO Luck!!
The paper is in pdf file format and I don’t know how to put it in your blog. If you give me an email address I will sent a digital attachment to you.
It basically shows that Jesus is CONTRASTING the temple destruction (topic of Question #! for which the disciples get a warning) with His second coming comments , beginning verse 30, in which there is no advance warning (topic of Question #2).
The mindset of the Jewish disciples was to make these events to occur at the same time. Jesus is saying differently. He then switches back to 70 AD comments.
Thank you for your comment Wayne. What a blessing that you understand the 70th week of Daniel and the Olivet Discourse!
You can email the PDF to david at christianitybeliefs.org
Hi David,
I think your commentary is outstanding but the hang up I have with the 70th week is that in verse 26 it says that Messiah will be cut off. I am having difficulty rectifying that it says he’s cut off in the 69th week but isn’t crusified and making a new covenant until the 70th week. Can you elaborate please?
Hi Mark 🙂 Daniel 9:25 defines a 7-week period, in which the city and temple were rebuilt; and a 62-week period.
So when Daniel 9:26 says that AFTER the 62 week period, Messiah will be cut off; it’s based on the fact that the 62-week period followed the 7- week period.
It’s saying that Messiah would be cut off AFTER the 69-week period, meaning in the 70th week.
Daniel 9:27 gives more information, as says that the sacrifice and oblation would cease halfway through the 70th week. The need for temple sacrifices ended when Messiah died as the Passover Lamb. That again confirms that Messiah died in the 70th week.
I hope that helps!
David
Mark 1:15 Jesus after his baptism in the Jordan said the time was fulfilled and immediately began his ministry…thus acknowledging the fulfillment of the 70 weeks prophecy.
Thank you for your comment Rudy. Messiah confirmed that He was the promised Messiah when He read the passage from Isaiah at the beginning of His ministry, at the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel.
“So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.” Then He closed the book, and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:16-21
So good to hear David. I have been praying for Messiah,s Messenger,s. Studying . Health slowly returning. Brother the only Truth I’m finding is in Messiah. We are Praying ceaselessly. It was and is still a most wonderful to have found Yahuah,s Truth. Just what hasn’t been a lie. Churches are social clubs with tradition becoming their gospel. Lent. Advent. Invent! Prayerfully believing and sometimes patient. Praise Yahusha. Baruch Have Ba Shem Yahuah Brother David. Our 3rd child to be born August. Jonah Immanuel. 2nd Tim 1 vs 7. Will continue following Messiah and seeking fellow Watchman. Thank You. Peter
Thank you for your comment Peter! I love how the 70th week of Daniel points to the exact time that Yahusha would appear. That’s great that your health is returning! Keep up the prayers, for that is how the battle is won! That’s exciting about Jonah Immanuel! That’s a great name! Keep learning and growing in The Way! David

It never made sense to me the 70th week being cast far into the future. Warning bells went off at one point but I wasn’t able to develop an alternative on my own. Thank you for helping confirm this. Of course our Lord culminated and sealed the covenant by giving the Comforter to those who believe during His ministry.
The reformers were also of the mystery schools as were the Jesuits. never forget the setup of opposing factions to maintain the confusion. The remnant of individuals seeking truth and never assuming to have obtained the truth outside of the anointing spoken of by John, are the only ones who are in the way. The false teachers have always run the churches to a great degree. The influence of Alexandria was huge in the east and the Jewish subterfuge in the Roman church was there at the beginning as well. Both sides corrupted early on.
Nevetheless, the Lord triumphs and delivers us out of them all.
Hi James 🙂 Yeah, a futuristic 70th week of Daniel doesn’t make sense, when we can see how it was fulfilled by Messiah.
As for the Reformers, they fulfilled Bible prophecy in getting the Little Book of Revelation 10 printed; in measuring the temple in Revelation 11 to see that what the antichrist beast Popes taught is contrary to Scripture; and in testifying against the antichrist beast Popes as the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11.
Not to be disrespectful, but this does not fit with Matthew 24 time table unless you are saying that the 70 weeks complete and are disconnected from the end times altogether.
The abomination of desolation occurs at the time when time is cut short. How in 70 AD was time cut short to save from the destruction of all flesh.
I’m trying to be good Berean. He who makes desolate is Jesus? Dan 9:27
JT, yes, I’m saying that the 70 weeks of Daniel prophecy pointed to Messiah’s first advent, and not to the end times. The prophecy proclaims that Messiah would be ‘cut off’ meaning killed, and that His death would end the need for temple sacrifices. That’s exactly what happened when Messiah ratified the ‘everlasting covenant’ with His blood as the Passover Lamb.
The prophecy says that the punishment for the Jewish leaders delivering Him up to be killed, is that the temple and city would be desolated by the ‘people of the prince’ meaning the Roman army.
Messiah affirmed this narrative in His Olivet Discourse, Matthew 24, telling His disciples what they would see before the desolation of the temple and Jerusalem. All of those things took place in the first century. The Roman army desolated the temple and city in 70 A.D.; in that generation of Jews just likely proclaimed.
Messiah coming in the clouds of heaven is not pointing to His return, but His commanding the Roman army to desolate the city, temple and the wicked Jews; who rejected Him and delivered Him up to be killed.
The abomination of desolation happened when the first division of the Roman army appeared in 66 A.D., and surrounded the Holy city, where they should not be. They were ready to take the city captive, when for no reason, they left. The saints obviously say this sign, and they took opportunity to flee to the mountains as Messiah had told them. The Jews stayed, and three divisions of the Roman army surrounded Jerusalem; and camped out there, waiting for orders from Rome, as Emperor Nero had died. The result is that 1.1 million Jews died in and around Jerusalem; from famine, pestilence, infighting, suicide, crucifixion and by the Roman sword.
Here’s a link to my Olivet Discourse study series which proves it out. https://theolivetdiscourse.com
So we have a match between the 70 weeks of Daniel, and Messiah’s Olivet Discourse; both of which were fulfilled in the first century; as they were about Messiah’s first advent and the punishment of the Jewish nation for having Him killed.

So glad I found your site. Been a Christian for 40 years in the Babylonian church, I knew something was wrong when GOD showed me the Pretrib- Rapture was not true. I knew the catholics were lost. Left Behind movies was telling me that Jesus was leaving me. NO Way Bible says he will never leave me. The POPES claiming there GOD. Priests raping Kids. Thanks for your discernment Brother.
Thank you for your comment James, I’m blessed to know that the studies are helping you. Yeah, the Jesuit’s have created many deceptions to deflect blame away from the antichrist beast Popes. Contact me anytime with questions or insight about the studies. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
Thank you David,
I found your website when I was searching for Michael Rood. You were talking about him as false prophet. I am a catholic and I experienced a huge shift like a mountain being removed. I am running and running away. I am a Canadian Srilankan. My husband is a strong catholic. Why are you always with the bible. My children tells me why you can’t be normal. Stop talking about Bible to people. They think you are crazy.
I was searching for true God. I have many dreams some are scary. One such dream was Jesus is inviting me and my little daughter up a ladder and I took her along with me. Then he smiled at me and turned into a Satan smiling with grin teeth. Now I don’t go to any church. All I do is read bible. I used to read World last chance because of flat earth theory I stopped.
I thank my heavenly father for guiding me to find your website and know His true name and our messiah’s true name. Thank you.
Sydney Beno Eric
Thank you for sharing your story Sydney! That’s so awesome how our Heavenly Father is guiding your path. There are many deceptions, and I try to teach Scriptural truth to expose them. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
David,
God bless you sir! There is more truth on this website than in all the churches in my home town of Las Vegas (admittedly, that isn’t saying much… but you get the point). Thank you for your clarity, content and positive attitude. I gave up on attending church a year ago, but watch Liberty Fellowship and Chuck Baldwin every Sunday. His sermon on the Destruction of Jerusalem is awesome, and it solidified that Daniel’s 70th week was indeed all about Jesus and His fulfillment of prophecy on the cross. Thanks again for this wonderful website!
Your brother in Christ, Guy
Thank you for your comment Guy! I understand, my Baptist and Calvary Chapel pastors never taught me the truth about the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel or the Olivet Discourse.
It’s amazing that the enemy has caused people to misunderstand the one prophecy which foretold when the promised Messiah would appear, to ratify the everlasting covenant with His blood; and assign it to an end-times antichrist.

Do you keep Gods Holy days and true Seventh day Sabbath. Do you use the Barkey harvest to determine the Passover and start of the year
Yes Morgan, I observe Elohim’s Holy Feast Days and Sabbath. Using the barley harvest in Jerusalem is problematic for several reasons: First, the weather can impact it, so that puts the harvest out of sync with the sun and moon. Second, today through technology we can know what’s going on in Jerusalem, but for most of history, people in foreign lands would have no idea.
I tend to think that the barley is referring to the cycle of the constellations, such as the barley in Virgo’s hand being visible; but I’m still doing research about that. Genesis 1:14 points to the sun, moon and stars; being used for “signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.”
Here’s my study page about the Holy Feast Days and Sabbath. https://comeoutofher.org/the-scriptural-holy-feast-days-were-hidden/

Hi David,
Great to find your blog / website.
I want your thoughts re The Berean Bible Church.
He gives a very strong argument for his point of view but …
Three years ago I came across a video by the 7th Day Adventists
that blew me away re the Pope dying in Napoleon’s custody
and that the papacy is the Antichrist.
I really enjoy David Curtis but very disappointed re …
I’ll try to contact David B Curtis. He labels himself a preterist which originally is sourced back to a Jesuit
Luis de Alcasar during the counter reformation.
I like that he admits he has changed his mind over the years and he says “in my opinion” … so I won’t write him off as a false teacher. He ignores the role of the Antichrist Catholic church throughout history in his study of Revelation. Way too much obvious proof
1260 yrs / little horn / scarlet / 7 mountains / death of Antichrist ( Pope in Napoleon’s custody ) then comes to life 1929 etc.
Hi Van, thank you for your comment. I don’t know anything about David Curtis and The Berean Bible Church, so I can’t comment. Yeah, there are many witnesses that the office of the papacy fulfills prophecy as the antichrist. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
Dear David,
thank you for this information. Makes sense to me. One thing I disagree with is the mother of harlots in Revelation is not just the papacy. It is Jerusalem. So the beast of Revelation must be world Jewry. This doesn’t condemn everybody though.
You’re welcome to provide a verse by verse explanation of Revelation 13 and 17, to back up your claim.
We as Seventh-day Adventist believe this teaching and have been seeking to spread this gospel throughout the world.. I am glad to hear this message for the Lord has raised up others people who will proclaim such a message and it proves that the Lord is working because the spirit can only give evidence of the presence of the spirit wherever the Holy Spirit is.. Keep up the good work my brother and my our Lord and savour Jesus Christ keep you firm in His word until He comes..
Thank you for your comment Amali! Yes, the SDA church stands out in proclaiming the truth about the 70th week of Daniel. And that’s so important, because the enemy’s false, futuristic deceptions are based on it. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
how can anyone confirm a covenant for a duration of one week but be killed halfway thru? doesn’t that mean he only confirmed the covenant for only 3.5 days? and if others continue to confirm a covenant on his behalf than it is not “him” doing it anymore. Dan 9:24 says that the 70 weeks will make an end of sin and bring in everlasting righteousness; we certainly don’t have any of those. Dan 9:26 says that the Messiah will be cut off after the 62 week phase not in the middle of the 70th week. your interpretation is incredibly flawed.
I understand what you’re saying. Messiah said “He that receiveth you receiveth me,” thus we can see that through the disciples, Messiah was still confirming that He’s the promised Messiah who came to ratify the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Passover Lamb?
No man can stop sinning, so it’s impossible that the Jews could make an end of sins. Let’s now look at how Messiah made an end of sins.
“on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world” John 1:29
“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29
“For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.” Romans 6:10
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,” Romans 8:2-3
“For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” Hebrews 9:26
“Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” Hebrews 9:28
“And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.” Hebrews 10:11-12
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 10:16-17
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.” 1 Peter 3:18
“And you know that He was manifested to TAKE AWAY OUR SINS, and in Him there is no sin.”1 John 3:5
No man could ever bring in everlasting righteousness, so this can’t apply to the Jews, only to our Savior.
Everlasting righteousness was what our Messiah manifested in His sinless life, and by His life, death, and resurrection, He has made everlasting righteousness available to all who accept it by faith.
“But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.” Romans 3:21-22
“But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God–and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.” 1 Corinthians 1:30
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21
“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” Hebrews 8:12
“Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness–by whose stripes you were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
Is there any doubt that He ushered in everlasting righteousness?
It’s obvious that the seven week period starts the prophecy, which is followed by the 62-week period. When you add them up, that’s 69 weeks.
The text says that Messiah would appear after the 62-week period, so that means that He had to appear after 69 week, meaning in the 70th week.
Your explanations are incredibly flawed.
The description of the 70 weeks on this page is correct. The Jewish nation, the descendants of Abraham, were set aside as God’s chosen people to share the gospel of a coming Messiah with the world. The gospel is contained and explained in the sanctuary system that God set up from the foundation of the world when sacrifices were offered in order to clothe Adam and Eve, symbolizing the death of the Messiah. Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8).
The symbolism was expanded upon at Mount Sinai starting in Exodus 25. Every aspect of the sanctuary system describes some aspect of what the Messiah would do, including His death on the cross and His work in the heavenly sanctuary that both Moses and John were shown in vision, and where Messiah sat down when He ascended on high (Hebrews 8:1).
So God chose Abraham’s descendants to share the gospel with the world. He made good on His promise that the Messiah would come through Abraham’s seed, as Jesus did (Luke 3:23-38), but the Jews as a nation were not obedient to God and wondered after other gods. Again and again, they chose their own way, even after God allowed them to go into captivity in Babylon. Finally, through Daniel, God’s prophet, God gave them a probationary period in which to decide whether or not they would serve and follow and obey Him. “70 weeks are determined,” or ‘divided from’ or ‘set aside from’ the larger prophecy contained in the previous chapter, “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.” (Daniel 9:24)
The Jewish nation had to decide whether or not they would allow God to work in their hearts to make them righteous, or else to keep living for self. That time period, 490 years, was confirmed to the Jewish nation in its entirety. Jesus made reference to it when Peter asked, “Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” (Matthew 18:21-22)
Starting 457 B.C. (Ezra 7:7), seven weeks (John 2:20) were spent rebuilding Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity. Sixty-two more weeks until Messiah was anointed at His baptism and became our sin bearer, leaving one final week of covenant for the Jewish nation to turn their lives over to God and allow Him to write His law in their hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). After Jesus’ death, God, through the apostles, plead with Israel for three-and-a-half more years until the stoning of Stephen which “[sealed] up the [prophet]” (Daniel 9:24), completing the final week and therefore the 70 weeks. In Steven’s final words before his stoning, which make up Acts 7, God pronounced His sentence against Israel and turned to the gentiles with the gospel, adopting Christians as God’s chosen people to share the gospel with the world (Acts 13:46; Galatians 3:28-29). Individually, Jews and non-Jews can claim this adoption by accepting Christ as their substitute.
Regarding the conditions set for the Jewish nation in Daniel 9:24, God would not set a condition that was impossible. The same promises that God made ancient Israel apply to His followers today. These promises have the power to change even our nature:
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature.” (2 Peter 1:4). In other words, God can change us and make us righteous.
“He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” (2 John 6)
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” (Titus 2:11-14)
“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:21).
Thank you Chris, for sharing your insight about the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel! 🙂
Here are even more scriptures that point to the fact Daiel.9 has been grossly misinterpreted. These scriptures point to Jesus and the new covenant not some future antichrist.
Hebrews 9:15 ESV
Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
Hebrews 8:13 ESV
In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Luke 22:20
And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
Hebrews 8:6 ESV
But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.
Hebrews 8:7-8 ESV
For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
2 Corinthians 3:6 ESV
Who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Hebrews 13:20 ESV
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
Hebrews 9:11-15
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
Romans 11:27 ESV
“and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins
Thank you for sharing those verses Clay! It’s amazing that there are many verses about Messiah and a covenant, and yet people are misunderstanding the covenant of the 70th weeks of Daniel prophecy. Here’s a new study that gives the definitions of the key words in the prophecy, including the word ‘covenant’ which was mentioned in Daniel 9:4, which clarifies what covenant is being referred to in Daniel 9:27. https://70thweekofdaniel.com/daniel-gives-us-the-definitions-of-the-70th-week-of-daniel/

Well it’s actually not so far fetched. His history is accurate. And as far as righteousness goes. Is it not written.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Romans 10:4 ESV
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes

1 Peter 2:24 ESV
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption
I wonder if the Jesuits used pandemics in the past. I would imagine they used them to conquer the Americas, and also in Europe with the Black Plague. This is old hat for them.
Hey Steve, yeah who knows? What’s interesting is that when different wavelengths (frequencies) have been introduced, it has caused new waves of sickness. The evil ones give the sickness a name, as if it’s viral, in order to hide the real culprit.
Radio waves were introduced > The Spanish Flu
Radar waves were introduced > The Hong Kong Flu
3G wavelengths came out in 2003, same as SARS.
4G wavelengths came out in 2009, same as H1N1.
5G wavelengths came out in 2019, same as COVID19.
Humans are electrical beings, which interact with the frequencies that our Creator put in the universe. But when a new, specifically chosen frequency is introduced, people die.
5G wavelengths can cause problems with the uptake of oxygen in the blood, which causes oxygen deprivation, which leads to organ failure and death.
5G wavelengths can cause cellular poisoning, and the body responds by purging the toxins out of the cells, which then overwhelms the body and causes a viral reaction, with flu-like symptoms, organ failure, and death.
These wavelengths were chosen on purpose, for the evil ones to reduce the population, and be able to blame the virus as the scapegoat.

The Protestant Reformers told people to ‘come out of her‘, which caused millions of people to leave the Roman Catholic Church and be saved by the pure Gospel of Messiah. YOU POSTED…….. David I fear for your soul for as mentioned before the Reformers NEVER returned the to true Gospel AKA all of Christ’s words. They still nursed on the rancid soul destroying teat of Augustine. So too today. Christ warned MOST calling him Lord will be lost. Matthew 7. ( speaking of “that day” ) Unless you OBEY Christ you will be lost in your sins. It is CRITICAL to find out if you are not a truly converted person NOW before the judgment. The animal kingdom will forever rebuke Christianity. The overwhelming desire to reproduce along with constant hunger are the marks of healthy creatures. A “christian” lacking these things as with the animals is either sick or dead. You, after real regeneration, would have the Love of Christ exploding in your heart. It passes intellect and emotion and is OBVIOUS to both yourself and the world around you. DANGER. Denial is fatal.

I need 70th week of Daniel.com
What took place in the 70th week of Daniel was the pinnacle of human history, for in it our Messiah died for our sins. 🙂
I would like to add something to help prove the 69 weeks of “unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks”.
Messiah means “anointed one”, Jesus was Anointed by the Holy Spirit on A.D.27 Exactly 483 years from B.C.457. Well Luke 3:5 records this “in the 15th year of the Roman emperor Tiberius”
The reign of Tiberius is dated (not from his sole reign at the death of Augustus) but from the beginning of his joint reign (two years prior to his death in A.D. 12) when Tiberius was given legal equality with Augustus. The 15th year of Tiberius would then correspond to A.D. 27.
Thank you for sharing that insight Andre! At the end we can see that Stephen was stoned to death in 34 A.D., so we know the beginning and the end of the 70th week of Daniel.

David
The “two” witnesses are “killed” by the beast from the abyss (the United Nations world government) after 3.5 years (Rev. 11:7). Then they are revived after 3.5 “days” (3.5 years/half of the “week”) (Rev. 11:11). That’s seven years total. The number two in Scripture symbolizes that a message is true. The “two” witnesses are an “anointed one” with an important and verifiable message who will be cut off at the half of the “week” by what some refer to as an “antichrist” (a communist-style world government). The seventieth week has a modern-day parallel, an antitype. At the same time that the two witnesses are killed the disgusting thing that causes desolation (to God’s people) is set up, as described at Daniel 9:27b, Matthew 24:15, and Revelation 13:5-7 etc. It seems that the coronavirus is the means that the beast from the abyss will rise to power (Anglo-America, the ascendant head of the seven-headed wild beast is now experiencing a death-stroke that it will recover from and then give authority to the United Nations, the “image of the beast”).
You know the futuristic explanation well! But it’s a deception from the enemy. There is no futuristic 70th week of Daniel. The antichrist Popes reigned in power for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 A.D. The Two Witnesses are the Scriptures and the Saints, both of which testify against the Popes and expose them as the son of perdition and the antichrist beast, who leads the harlot church of Rome.
I pray that you read through the prophecy fulfillment explanations, because what you’re believing is a deception from the enemy.
https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-two-witnesses-of-revelation-11/
The “two” witnesses are not the Scriptures and the saints as it is impossible for those things to “prophesy in sackcloth” or be “killed” and revived. The two witnesses do a work like that of Moses and Elijah (deliverance and purifying – vs 5,6). They also do a work like Joshua and Zerubbabel (healing and rebuilding – v4). The healing and rebuilding work will take place after God’s people are desolated for 3.5 years. I know what i am talking about because i AM that anointed one who is currently prophesying in sackcloth against God’s people, since i know what is about to come upon them during the second half of the week when the holy city is trampled underfoot (Rev. 11:2).
The harlot is the ancient “mystery” schools who have dominated 6 world empires and continue to dominate the 7th (Anglo-America) (Rev. 17:9). She rides the scarlet-cloloured image of the beast (United Nations) because she set it up and she will soon gain full control of it as a tyrannical world government, “at the half of the week” when it causes “sacrifice and gift offering to cease.” Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and most powerful secret (“mystery”) religion. Masons literally built seven world empires. They openly boast of this in their books, of which i have many. Yes, there will be a one world religion under them because THEY are the whore of Babylon. Yes, all other religion will be outlawed. All of it!
As you said, you know the futuristic explanation well! Messiah said that the Scriptures ‘testify’ and that the saints are His ‘witnesses.’ The witness of the saints who have gone before us, who were killed by the antichrist beast Popes, for testifying; prove the point. https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/historic-witnesses-against-the-antichrist-beast-the-popes-of-rome/
The antichrist beast Popes banned and burned the Scriptures during the Dark Ages, and the persecuted the saints so harshly during that in 1514 A.D., they were deemed as ‘dead.’ Then 3 1/2 years later, Martin Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation, and brought the saints back to life. With the advent of the printing press, the ‘little book’ of Revelation 10, the printed Bible, was spread all over the world, witnessing about salvation by faith alone and not by the Roman sacraments.
The harlot of Revelation 17 is easy to identify, for the Roman Archbishops and Cardinals wear purple and scarlet, and her priests use the golden cup during the blasphemous Eucharist ceremony, and she has shed the blood of over 50 million saints. https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/revelation-17-the-harlot-roman-catholic-church/
The Roman Catholic Church, although powerful, is simply one of the “children” of Babylon the Great (Isa. 47:8,9; Psa. 137:8,9). Freemasonry is the original “mystery” religion “mother” founded by Nimrod who gave birth to the other “prostitute” religions we see today. Early Christianity was corrupted by that religion primarily by Roman emperor Constantine, the sun worshipping “builder” (Masonry is sun worship and they are builders). You will find the colours purple and scarlet in every masonic lodge on earth, usually on the throne that the Worshipful Master sits upon. Freemasonry wields immense hidden power. Freemasons Winston Churchill and Harry S. Truman set up the Atlantic Charter which was the precursor to the United Nations. The great prostitute herself will be turned upon and devastated at the hands of the wild beast (Rev. 17:16,17).
All spoken like a good Catholic, who either can’t see the truth about their church, or who seeks to deflect blame away from the antichrist beast Popes and the false prophet Jesuit Superior Generals.
I am not a Catholic. Please consider the following: https://bible.org/seriespage/5-seventieth-week-daniel
Dr. John F. Walvoord is a classic futurist, taught by Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, the founder of Dallas Theological Seminary; from which the enemy has spread the false, futuristic deceptions.

On that article, Dr. David R. Reagan has the timing of the prophecy correct, how is he missing the 70th week?
He states, The time span I am proposing from 457 B.C. to 27 A.D. is also supported by another amazing piece of evidence.
That’s 483 years, the time of the 69 weeks.
Then he says, Further evidence that this date is correct is the fact that it would place the end of Jesus’ 3 1/2 year ministry in the spring of 31 A.D. And that happens to be the most likely year of the crucifixion.
So he’s saying that Messiah was killed 3 1/2 years after the 69th week ended (in the middle of the 70th week), which is correct.
Then somehow he says, One puzzle remains about Daniel’s prophecy. What about the 70th week? Is it past or future? I believe there is no doubt whatsoever that it is future.
He just gave the timeline for the 69 weeks to be fulfilled, from 457 BC to 27 AD. He just said that Messiah died in 31 AD, 3 1/2 years after the 69th week ended.
Daniel 9:26 says that Messiah will be ‘cut off’ killed AFTER the 69th week, meaning in the 70th week. And then Daniel 9:27 gives us the timing of His death, in the middle of the week, which ended the need for temple animal sacrifices.
How in the world does he not see that Messiah’s ministry took place in the 70th week? He just declared as much!
Amazing!!!
You know I agree that it is Dr. David Reagan clearly gets the timeline right up until the “cutting off” and crucifiction of our Lord. Perhaps he doesn’t have clarity on the fulfillment of the second half of the 7 year period. There is a spiritual dilusionment that often comes over people that distorts their thinking when they sit under false teaching for years. Maybe he just can’t connect the dots that there is no futuristic events for the nation of Israe, being made desolate in 70 AD. The church then was birth in a day at the Day of Pentecost, True Spiritual Israel!
End of Messiah (69 weeks):
26a “And after the 62 weeks, Mes·siʹah will be cut off, with nothing for himself.”
Leader who is to come (1 week):
26b “And the people of a leader who is coming will destroy the city and the holy place. And its end will be by the flood. And until the end there will be war; what is decided upon is desolations.”
Leader who is to come:
27a “And he will keep the covenant in force for the many for one week; and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease.”
Leader who is to come:
27b “And on the wing of disgusting things there will be the one causing desolation; and until an extermination, what was decided on will be poured out also on the one lying desolate.”
Or
End of Messiah (69.5 weeks):
26a “And after the 62 weeks (in the middle of the seventieth week), Mes·siʹah will be cut off, with nothing for himself.”
Leader who is to come (1 week):
26b “And the people of a leader who is coming will destroy the city and the holy place. And its end will be by the flood. And until the end there will be war; what is decided upon is desolations.”
Back to the Messiah who was put to death:
27a “And he will keep the covenant in force for the many for one week; and at the half of the week, he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease.”
Leader who is to come:
27b “And on the wing of disgusting things there will be the one causing desolation; and until an extermination, what was decided on will be poured out also on the one lying desolate.”
Which one is it?
The second explanation fits the narrative. It’s a way of writing, where you split up the information in consecutive paragraphs, to convey two messages.
In this case, one part is telling us when Messiah will carry out His ministry and be killed. And the other part tells us that the temple and city will be desolated, because of the Jews abominations, in that they rejected Messiah and delivered Him up to be killed.
If you combine the narrative; it reads as:
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: 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 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 for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Verse 25 tells us that 69 weeks pass until Messiah the Prince, meaning He will appear in the 70th week. Verse 26 tells us that Messiah will be cut off, killed, after the 69 weeks, meaning in the 70th week. Verse 27 give us the timing of His death, in the middle of the 70th week, when He ratified the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Passover Lamb, which ended the need for temple sacrifices.
David and Paddy, I appreciated this dialog. Admittedly Paddy raises similar questions as what I have had (however, claiming to be the anointed prophet in sackcloth is a red flag that you are likely misguided in some ways, but I won’t cast away your perspective just because you are struggling in that regards, I give you no judgement and hope that your motives are in the right place….He alone will judge). However, David, your math adds up really well and I appreciate the logic. Also, I’ve never considered seeing the verses of Daniel 9 be “split” and recombined e.g. 26a27a and 26b27b. However, I do think there are other scriptures that lend credence to this technique of writing. I’ll have to search for them.
My main question, as i’m processing this approach of “the 70th week is already fulfilled” is that of the two witnesses. I think Paddy brings up a good questions of the 3.5 days they are struck down. However you had a great numerical/historical/logical answer of the 95 thesis being 3.5 years. So that is helping me see it, but I need more supporting scripture for the two witnesses being the “scriptures and the saints”.
Rev 11:3 And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” (how are these 1,260 days accounted for and what would be the reason for the SAME time period as the half of the 70th week but be independent of the 70th week?)
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. (**this lines up very well with the House of Israel divorced from God to return to “the nations” i.e. gentiles and the House of Judah — the “two sticks that will be one”**)
Rev 11:5 And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. (how does this line up for scripture and saints as the two witnesses?)
Rev 11:6 They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. (how does this account for the scripture and the saints as the two witnesses??)
Rev 11:7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,
Rev 11:8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. (Is this the Jesuit’s warring against the reformation and killing them? If so, why is jerusalem included in this and what does it have to do with the reformation?)
Rev 11:9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb,
Rev 11:10 and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. (when does this occur? it’s always made sense to me that the two witnesses are seen by the world because of modern techology, social media, live news, etc)
Rev 11:11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them.
Rev 11:12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. (**the scriptures and the saints are carried up to heaven?? why would they “stood up on their feet” if this is not literal but figurative?)
Thank you both for your desire to learn and understand. I believe that those who read and keep the words of the Apocalypse/Revelation will be blessed. Ultimately we need to place our faith and confidence in Christ alone. His ways are above ours.
Thank you for your comment Blake! It’s hard to answer all of your questions, as there are so many, and because you’re combining different prophecies together.
The 70th week of Daniel has nothing to do with the end times, so it’s not about the antichrist or the Two Witnesses. The 70th week of Daniel was fulfilled on time, from 27-34 AD. In the 70th week of Daniel, Messiah ratified the everlasting covenant with His blood.

Keep learning and growing in The Way!
David
David love your book have purchased six so far. There is one problem I have found. When you say that “covenant” is never used for man to man covenants.(Page 161) Abraham made a covenant with Abimelech. Issac made a covenat with Abimelech. And David made a covenant with Jonathan.
Thank you for your comment Terrell, and for sharing the book! And thanks for pointing that out about the covenants between the men. When you search the Hebrew word, there are 264 occurrences of that word, and I overlooked the stories about Abraham, Isaac and David.
I’ll update the next version of the book, to simply say that there’s no passage that says that the antichrist makes a covenant. Keep learning and growing in The Way! David
Dear David. I love your book 70th week decoded, but now I am more confused than ever. I summarized the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation in an attempt to understand Revelation and must admit that I was strongly influenced by the futuristic approach on Revelation as explained by Paul Dorgan (recently deceased). What meaning, if any, does the book of Revelation then have for us if everything has already been fulfilled? Who is the antichrist (a man 666 according to Revelation) then? Where does the 7 seals, trumpets and scales then fit in? Is there such thing as the rapture? Must we ignore Revelation because we do not understand its symbolism? Please enlighten me and save me from ignorance.
Dear Johannes,
I understand about being confused about the fulfillment of Revelation, I used to be that way.
In Revelation 1:1 says, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants THINGS WHICH MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John. Revelation 1:3 says Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND.
Messiah’s apocalyptic vision gives the historical narrative of what the saints would face from the first century until He returns. It foretells how the Satan-empowered Roman beast kingdom fight against Messiah and His saints.
In Revelation, Messiah uses symbolism to point to literal events. The symbols are defined in the Old Testament, so they hide the message from people who haven’t studied the whole Word.
At this point, you need to see the ‘big picture’
Here’s a link to my Revelation Fulfillment Summary PDF; which shows you what’s already been fulfilled (most of it); where we’re at now on the timeline; and what will happen next as we await Messiah’s return. It will answer questions about the seals, trumpet, bowls.
https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Revelation-Fulfillment-Timeline-Summary-090720.pdf
I recommend printing it out, as it’s a lot to take in, since our minds have been programmed with the false, futuristic deceptions.
Then go to this page and print out the following PDFs, to understand who is the antichrist, the false prophet and the harlot of Revelation 17.

To answer your question, the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill Bible prophecy as the ‘little horn’ of Daniel 7, the ‘son of perdition’ of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the ‘antichrist beast’ of Revelation 13, who leads the ‘harlot’ church of Rome.
The Jesuits of Rome created the false, futuristic explanations of the futuristic 70th week of Daniel, and that all of Revelation would be fulfilled during the last few years. They did this to deflect blame away from the antichrist beast Popes. He is hidden in plain sight!

Greetings David,
Very good study on Daniel 9. Came across your interview on Remnant Radio as I was giving a study on this subject which I had written around 1999. I especially appreciate you connecting the the Shmitas and Jubilees which help nail down some points. My study differs on a few points you make. I’d attach my study to explain but I don’t see where that’s possible here. You can email me if you’re interested.
Thanks again for your research and service.
Shalom
Thank you David, yeah I learned how the Shmitas and Jubilees tie into the prophecy, this year. I’ll send you an email, so that you can reply with your study. Thank you, David
Great conversations, Brothers… please keep it up!
While I’m more here to learn, I can add just a little bit to what someone was asking…
This is what I was last thinking from my recent Bible studies… and I admit, this brings me great hope and joy… I believe the 2 olive trees have biblically been Israel/Judah, and the lampstands or candlesticks have biblically been us – the saints. I now believe we will operate in the “spirits” of Moses & Elijah, with an increase in power similar to what they operated in. The reason there are also “2” lampstands is because when we go back to the beginning of Revelation, we find that Jesus was only pleased with 2 of the 7 churches.
I believe the sackcloth we wear is spiritual, signifying a solemn humility and a spirit of repentance.
When you think of olive trees, and how the oil needed to light the candlesticks comes from the olive oil of the olive trees, it symbolizes a picture of how it began with the Jews – and now we are the ones that bring the light.
Also interesting is how the Bible teaches that John the Baptist also operated in the spirit of Elijah. I feel our ministry will be one like John the Baptists’ – preparing the way for the (2nd) coming of our Lord and preaching repentance. The fire coming out of our mouths may be spiritual fire as we preach the Word.
My friends believe the reason they will want to behead us is because we will operate with such spiritual power, that they have to go through the trouble of beheading us to kill us off (just a thought).
What do you guys think? Also, have you received revelations on the “23 Shepherds that pasture 58 times” in the book of Enoch? It seems the countdown begins when Israel formed again in 1948, and in that case, it appears there are 10 more to go until the end of the Gospel Age. To give you an idea, Netanyahu has already shepherded Israel the last 11 years. That does seem like a long time to me to wait for 10 more shepherds, as like many of us, I want Jesus to come back sooner than later. : / I also don’t know if the times they “pasture” are terms or governments/ knessets, of which we are now in the 35th as of 2020, which means we also have 23 knessets to go. Again, that seems longer than I wanted to hear after doing the math. : / Any thoughts?
Shalom Hadassah! I’m sorry for the slow reply. I truly appreciate all of your insight! I think that the olive trees represents the Scriptures, the New and Old Testaments, which feed oil to the saints. Without the Scriptures the saints can’t shine and the world becomes very dark, such as happened during the Dark Ages when the Popes banned and burned the Scriptures.
In Revelation, Messiah addresses two church ages, Thyatira and Sardis, which are the two which had to endure the 1,260-year reign of power of the antichrist beast Popes of Rome, from 538-1798 AD.
Here is my study on the Two Witnesses. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/the-two-witnesses-of-revelation-11/
As you elude to, the saints are to use the Scriptures to teach the truth, to expose the deceptions of the enemy, to set the captives free.
In the last day, one saint has been brought to my attention, who did exactly what you said. He was so full of the Spirit, that they couldn’t overcome him, even by torture. So they had to behead him to stop his witness. I’m not sure if all of the description about him is true, but this article is interesting to read.

As for Zionist Israel, I see that it fulfills prophecy, but not in a good way.
I would like to talk with you, and will send you an email.
Grace, peace and love to you,
David
Hello DAVID help me on how i can calculate the exact year when the promised Messiah was born within the 70th week of Daniel.
Hello Abu, the 70th week of Daniel doesn’t point to Messiah’s birth, but to His ministry and to His death. The 70th week started in 27 AD, when Messiah was over thirty years old, which puts His birth around 3/4 BC.
Good points David but you are very wrlng about the mark if the beast. It will be a rfid / nano tech chip and corona, man made, will usher us towards it: cashless society, electronic tracking as tl who is vaccinated etc. You are correct about the 70th week of Daniel, it already happened yet is distorted tl introduce a third temple , which is not a biblical prophecy
Ella, The mark of the beast is directly related to revering the antichrist. The RDIF chip or tattoo and the Corona vaxc are not directly related to revering the antichrist, therefore they are not the mark of the beast. I will cover this in more detail in my upcoming Revelation Timeline Decoded book.
David, I disagree strongly with you because the scriptures say he CAUSETH all to receive it. Not even Jesus causes us to adore Him, but we love Him because He first loved us.
I think those who teach that receiving the MOB is an act of adoration or willful worship will mislead potential believers.
Sam, there’s many verses which use the word ‘all’ which obviously don’t mean every single person.
An example is John 5:23 “That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” Did all men honor the Son? No.
We can see examples of the people in France and Spain obeying the antichrist beast Pope’s demand to persecute the saints. And we see the judgment that came upon them during the bloody French Revolution. http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/revelation-14-the-mark-of-the-beast/
To worship (mark on forehead) means to revere, as 1.3 Catholics do with the antichrist beast Pope. And Catholics obey (mark on right hand, actions) the antichrist beast Pope.
Not a comment but a question: Is there any Scriptural or historical proof that the ministry of Yeshua was actually 3.5 years as opposed to 70 weeks as some will also argue?
Jason, there’s much debate about the length of Messiah’s ministry. We can see from the witness of John and the narrative of the Passovers that it was over two years in length, but it’s a challenge to prove out that it was exactly 3.5 years.
The 70 weeks of Daniel prophecy says that Messiah appears after the 69 weeks, meaning in the 70th week, but it doesn’t say when. It does tell us that Messiah died in the middle of the seven years, when He confirmed the everlasting covenant with His blood as the Spotless Lamb.
Whether His ministry was two years or 3.5 doesn’t change the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9 prophecy.
Hi Jason,
The gospel of John records the Messiah’s ministry starting days before a Passover and ending two years later on a Passover. John was with the Messiah from the start to the end.
His ministry was two years. 3.5 years comes from a misunderstanding of Daniel 9 prophecy.
From the information you give about your book, I can promise you that you’re in error. The prophecy was locked with one word. Unless you find the word and follow the prophecy exactly how it is written you will not understand it.
Dave, please share what that one word is, so that I can see what you are saying. Thanks!
The mark of the BEAST cannot be about Worship, it about buying and selling, meaning it an economical system. It the IMAGE of the BEAST that has to do with worship. The mark of the BEAST is something physical that is inserted in people’s right hand or foreheads. Whether it be a Vaccine or a Nano chip it doesn’t matter. Whatever thing that will prevent people from partaking in the economic system will be the Mark of the BEAST but it definitely not Sunday worship. If I can still buy and sell from Monday to Saturday and only prevented from Buying and Selling on Sunday that doesn’t fulfill the requirements of a certain Mark
This page is about my 70th Week Of Daniel 9 Decoded book, which has nothing to do with the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast is revering (mark on forehead) and obeying (mark on right hand, actions) the antichrist beast Pope.
We can see how that has been fulfilled by people in Catholic France, Spain and other countries, who revered and obeyed the antichrist beast Pope in persecuting Messiah’s saints. Their punishment came during the bowl judgments, during the bloody French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars.
As for the passage about buying and selling, when the worldwide economy collapses, then nobody will be able to buy and sell. Then the antichrist beast Pope may offer a One World financial system, so that if people revere and obey him, they will be able to buy and sell again. And part of that system may involve a physical RFID chip or tattoo.
Those who don’t revere and obey the antichrist beast Pope will be cut off from the financial system and may be killed. I provide explanations about the book of Revelation on this website: https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/
I agree with you wholly. The author (David) is wise is many regards, (and I mean absolutely no disrespect), but he is WRONG about the MOB. The author has incorporated this error from teachings of the SDA church.
The MOB is forced upon everyone and excludes them from the economy if they do not comply. We really got a taste of that recently.
If you actually revere someone, then it’s not forced upon you. If you willingly obey something, then it’s not forced upon you.
I think a lot of well intentioned SDA members will willingly receive a physical mark on their hand or forehead because they feel safe because they don’t worship on Sunday. Because “surely that can’t be the MOB” because their leaders told them they’re ok as long as they don’t worship the pope or revere the Catholic system. Sure, ignore the literal description of the mark in the scriptures. However, I think people are judged for the explicit words of the bible, not just the inferences which may be subject to denominational slant.
It’s the same with Baptist churches not preparing for the endtimes due to their erroneous belief in pretrib rapture.
I guess throw out the bathwater, but keep the baby. Good info on this sight, but not free from error.
Sam, I’m confused about you saying that I have incorporated my view of the mark of the beast from the SDA church. They teach that Sunday worship is the MOB. I do not teach that.
The MOB has to do with revering and obeying the antichrist beast Pope. That is why the judgment of having the MOB is so harsh.
Sam, I agree with you whole heartedly. I like most of what the author is presenting, but the Mark of the Beast is as you say and we’re seeing it now. When one’s DNA is changed and proven by scientific papers, that means something huge. As in the days of Noah.
Holly, the mark of the beast is related to revering and obeying the antichrist. The antichrist is not a system, it’s a man. Are people taking the cv jab because they are revering and obeying the antichrist? No.
That said, Catholics may be revering the antichrist beast Pope as he is recommending the cv jab, but Catholics already have the mark of the beast on them as they revere (mark on forehead) and obey (mark on right hand, actions) the antichrist beast Pope.
Dearest David- I was wondering if you had any specific resources you recommend about the apocrypha? You referred back to 1 Esdras and gave a bit of your thoughts about the apocrypha in your book, and I’ve been curious to find more info about it since then. If you happen to have the time to share what you have read or the sources you have found, I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much! 🙂
Shalom Lina 🙂 I’ve not have time to read the books of the apocrypha to give an opinion, as I’ve been busy writing the Olivet Discourse and Revelation books, and now making a video series on the fulfillment of Revelation. Here’s the link to the Revelation video playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY8Cq8enpfGfD_9b9cfcgCWhdYWUNNZq7
Keep learning and growing in The Way!
David
Curious why you believe the Catholic Church came up with the futurist doctrine? I thought the Catholic Church held an Ammillienial and preterist view? Also, do you have documentation you can reference that supports your claim: “…Church…rejected these futuristic concepts until the 19th century, when the Jesuits caused several people to promote these concepts… ” Then how do you explain this?
” Justin Martyr (A.D. 100–165) in his Dialogue With Trypho (@ A.D. 140), a Jewish man,
made the following premillennial statement:
But I and others, who are right-minded Christians on all points, are assured
that there will be a resurrection of the dead, and a thousand years in
Jerusalem, which will then be built, adorned, and enlarged, as the prophets
Ezekiel and Isaiah and others declare.
5
Justin considered premillennialism an aspect of orthodoxy in his day.
And further, there was a certain man with us, whose name was John, one of
the apostles of Christ, who prophesied, by a revelation that was made to him,
that those who believed in our Christ would dwell a thousand years in
Jerusalem; and that thereafter the general, and, in short, the eternal
resurrection and judgment of all men would likewise take place.
IRENAEUS AND TERTULLIAN
Two of the greatest ante-Nicene fathers were Irenaeus and Tertullian (A.D. 160–230).
Irenaeus grew up in Asia Minor and was discipled by Polycarp, who knew the Apostle
John. Irenaeus had a very extensive view of Bible prophecy in his last five chapters of Against Heresies, which were suppressed throughout the Middle Ages by anti-
premillennialists and rediscovered in 1571.7 The restoration of a more literal
interpretation and reading of the early church fathers by many post-Reformationists led
to a revival of premillennialism in the early 1600s. Irenaeus’ writings played a key role
because of their clear premillennial statements. “John, therefore, did distinctly foresee the first ‘resurrection of the just,’ and the inheritance in the kingdom of the earth,” he says, “and what the prophets have prophesied concerning it harmonize [with his
vision].”Again, Irenaeus declares:
But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will
reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and
then the Lord will come from heaven in the clouds, in the glory of the Father,
sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire; but bringing
in for the righteous the times of the kingdom. Tertullian, who gave us the Latin word “Trinity,” was also a strong premillennialist. He makes his premillennialism clear when he says the following:
But we do confess that a kingdom is promised to us upon the earth, although
before heaven, only in another state of existence; inasmuch as it will be after
the resurrection for a thousand years in the divinely-built city of Jerusalem,
“let down from heaven,” which the apostle also calls “our mother from
above;” and, while declaring that our citizenship is in heaven, he predicts of it
that it is really a city in heaven. This both Ezekiel had knowledge of and the
Apostle John beheld.”
Lastly, regarding the 70th week of Daniel. I believe it is 7 year time period that has not been fulfilled. While I have many reasons for believing this way, I think perhaps the main reason is because it is referenced in types and shadows all throughout scripture in various ways. Perhaps the simplest and clearest example is to carefully map the life and story of Joseph as a typology of Christ. He was betrayed by his brothers, just as Jesus was his brothers (the jews). He went to prison with two other prisoners, one being innocent and the other guilty, just as Jesus hung on cross with two others, one who got saved. The prisoners with Joseph also shadow communion (cup bearer and bread maker). Then out of prison Joseph was elevated to highest in land, given all authority. Just as Jesus was raised and sits on His Father’s thrown in heaven with all authority. Joseph then marries a gentile bride, just as Jesus will wed His bride, the church! THEN Joseph during the 7 YEAR famine dealt with his brothers, testing them and finally revealing himself to them; Jesus promises to return to nation of Israel after a 7 YEAR time of testing and tribulation upon the earth. We however are bride of Christ. It all fits scripture. 6 gentile brides in old testament, one in new (the church) for a perfect 7. Anyway, thats just one example. Jacob worked another 7 years for rachel. 7 year famine in ruth. The tribulation is all throughout scripture, also known as the day of the Lord. I think you’ll have a very narrow view if you claim Daniel 70 weeks were all fulfilled and miss much of what scripture wants us to know. Perhaps this is why you have to stray from scripture using conspiracy theories as support for your claim? With all due respect, you seem to love the Lord and His Holy Word so I encourage you in your writings to stick with scripture. Even my quotes from early church fathers really dont mean anything. I only quoted them to show evidence that futurism was not a 19th century idea from a cabal but not only is biblical, it was taught by those who knew the apostles personally. The cabal is about globalism, climate change, covid and other earthly things. Set your mind on things above, brother!
Sam, the futuristic explanations were created by the Jesuits in the 16th century to deflect blame away from the Pope, as the Protestant Reformers proclaimed that office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, fulfill Bible prophecy as the ‘little horn’ of Daniel 7, the ‘son of perdition’ of 2 Thessalonians 2, and the ‘antichrist beast’ of Revelation 13, who leads the ‘harlot’ church of Rome.
https://70thweekofdaniel.com/how-the-leaven-of-the-70th-week-of-daniel-deceptions-spread/
We can look at the explanations of people like Albert Barnes, Adam Clarke, John Gill, Matthew Poole, Henry Grattan Guinness and E.B. Elliott; who wrote during the 16th-20th centuries, to see that they rejected the futuristic explanations.
I’m not seeing how Justin Martyr’s statements about the millennium have anything to do with the fulfillment of the seals, trumpet and bowls of Revelation; or the 70th week of Daniel 9.
As for Irenaeus and the early church fathers, they took the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation about the 1,260 days literal, as they had no comprehension that it would point to the 1,260-year reign of power of the antichrist beast Popes of Rome from 538-1798 AD. Read Prophecy Points To The Leader Of The Roman Beast
Just because they were early church fathers, doesn’t mean that everything that they declared about prophecy was accurate. They gave their best explanation based on what they knew at the time.
I do stick with Scripture in regard to the 70th week of Daniel. If you’re inserting a gap in between the 69th and 70th week, then you’re following the teachings of man, because no gap is declared in the passage. And it makes no sense for the Father to declare a 70-week prophecy, if it’s not fulfilled in 70 consecutive weeks.
Daniel gives us the definitions of the ‘people,’ the ‘Prince,’ and the ‘covenant.’ They all point to the prophecy being fulfilled in 70 consecutive weeks, as Messiah the Prince carried out His multiyear ministry in the 70th week of Daniel, until He was delivered up to be killed by the people of the prophecy, the Jews.
His death confirmed the covenant that was mentioned in Daniel 9:4, the everlasting covenant, which Daniel pleaded for the Heavenly Father to remember in regard to the Jews. Many Jews believed in Messiah and were saved.
I prove all of this out in my The 70th Week Of Daniel 9 Decoded book, which is available as a free PDF on the home page of the website.
Seek truth, not to defend a belief.
As for setting my mind on things above, I explain the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel, Messiah’s Olivet Discourse, 2 Thessalonians 2 and Revelation. If you follow me on facebook, then you would see that I expose globalism, climate change, covid, etc. And I show how the Society of Jesus in Rome, the Jesuit leaders, are behind it all.
Shalom, David
David, I just found [1/24/2022] the post about “The 70th Week Of Daniel 9 Decoded” and found it to be a jewel.
At the end of the “Comments” section, you wrote:

Sir, Facebook IMO is now a no, no. I have not, will not use Fb. There are many, MANY others of us out here who feel the same. Don’t leave “us” outside.
If you have not heard of, or visited GAB.com, I suggest that you, or your staff, visit and read the items/posts etc. for at least three [3] weeks – using Rush Limbaugh’s recommendation – then, make a decision to stay and join in the conversations or, leave.
Look for and read about the goals set up for GAB by Andrew Torba, Christian, CEO and founder of GAB.
PS: Caution; GAB does not censor speech, speak/write ones thoughts/feelings/etc. – w/some exceptions – there are some anti-Jewish folks there.
Thank you for your comment Alvin! I’m glad that you understand the 70th week of Daniel 9!
I understand that your conviction is to not use Facebook, but for me Facebook provides opportunity to teach about prophecy fulfillment to many people who are searching for truth.
I’ve heard of GAB and will look into it. Thank you for your recommendation!

Alvin, I set up a profile on Gab. Here’s my link. https://gab.com/davidnikao
here is the problem with claiming it was fulfilled, which it was not. the 70 weeks are 70 Jubilees from the entrance of Israel into Canaan as the Promised Land.Total since creation are 120th Jubilees until the Messiah’s Yahushua arrival.the 70th Jubilees are what Daniel and even messiah himself explained us. 70 weeks and the end will come.ezekiel 40:1 clearly is telling us when was the only recorded jubilee year in scriptures. Knowingthat we can know when Messiah returns.
Your explanation is out of context, as the 70 week prophecy starts with the command to rebuild Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity, so it’s not about Israel entering into the Promised Land. It’s pointing to seventy 7-year Shemitah cycles which is ten 49-year Jubilee cycles. We see that in the first period of 7 Shemitah cycles which is 49 years. The 70th week points to Messiah’s first advent, when He carried out His multiyear ministry and confirmed the covenant with His blood to atone for our sins. It’s not about His return. That is foretold in the prophecies of Revelation.
This is likely the wrong page to ask this question, but I do not know where the proper page is. Is there a future “Great Tribulation” or was the Tribulation solely upon the Jews in the destruction of Jerusalem? Thank you for your help.

Thank you, David. You’re much appreciated for making eschatological matters clear and easier. You’ve made an amazed convert out of me vis a vis the Geocentric Cosmos. A year ago, I was a Theistic Evolutionist and could not have received this truth. Now the Lord has spun my head around and I see evolution for what it is. An idiotic religion invented by the Adversary. So a Geocentric Cosmos is now easier to see and know that it is more of same. Thank you David for all of it, also for the understanding there is no future Great Tribulation (literally, Mega Constriction from Koine Greek).
In Him,
Nathaniel
Thank you for sharing your story Nathaniel! I love how the Spirit of Truth is working to reveal truth to those who pray for it and are doing research.
Yeah, the truth of the geocentric universe was eye-opening to me, as you see the grand deception which affects everyone in the world. This is why the enemy worked so hard to push the heliocentric universe and evolution, to hide the Creator. And the flat earth doctrine, to cause people to mock geocentrism.
Keep learning and growing in The Way of our beloved Messiah,
David
Praise God for your testimony! Z
Will do. Approaching 69 years old, bad health including heart disease, but have learned Koine Greek and have been a believer now for 53 years and a minister for 41. I’ll keep doing my best to inform believers of all the marvelous things God has taught me and shown me.

I’m sorry to hear about your bad health! You’re investing your time well, in learning more truth and sharing it with others! Keep learning and growing in The Way! DNW
Hello David,
This is just an update to my reading of the 3 prophecy fulfillment books you authored. They are all so good that it is hard for me to finish one before the other. They are a true blessing and glorification to our Heavenly Father and the Messiah, his son, Jesus Christ.
Also, I wanted to bring something to your attention as it is most fitting under the Daniel Decoded section of your website.
Many of us who have read your books and have seen the truth evidenced in these books Biblically, historically, and prophetically have also been listeners of Pastor Chuck Baldwin in Montana.
Over the months, many of us have seen and heard Pastor Baldwin’s intentional omission and deflection away from the papacy, the Jesuits, the popery, and D.C.’s surrender to Rome. In fact, Pastor Baldwin as gone so far as to say that although papal Rome is with us today, it is ancient history like Babylon.
Over the months, Pastor Baldwin has forcefully and relentlessly (from the pulpit and in his syndicated columns) called out Christian Zionism and Scofield Futurism as America’s #1 problem! I agree it is a HUGE problem and needs to be spoken of and protested against – no doubt – but Pastor Baldwin fails to reveal or discuss who birthed Christian Zionism and Scofield Futurism which is the Satanic, Jesuit Papacy.
Incredibly, Pastor Baldwin’s sermons NEVER miss the opportunity to yell and scream about Zionists and Jews. Yes, they are lost and enemies of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ BUT they are PUPPETS AND KINGS OF ROME!
I am finding that every one of Pastor Baldwin’s sermons, as of late, sound exactly the same. Every sermon puts the Founding Fathers and persons like papaist Ron Paul on equal or greater footing than Jesus Christ’s ministry, sacrificial death, and resurrection. This is NOT a gross exaggeration. Pastor Baldwin’s voice, inflection, and body language is getting larger and more fiery week after week to the tune of elevating the many Christ deniers, among the Founding Fathers, to the gates of Heaven. It is vile in my opnion.
Pastor Baldwin literally places the Founding Fathers as mother ‘liberty’ and ‘freedom’.
I couldn’t help myself but I listened to a recent message (because of its title) by Pastor Baldwin entitled “Thankful For Faithful Truth Preaching: Without It People Perish – Dr. Chuck Baldwin on Nov. 21, 2021.” The link to it is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14BCOOPzJYw He speaks of hypocrites but he himself is one.
I have been wanting to write Pastor Baldwin about a number of things but perhaps I have my answer listening to his Nov 21, 2021 sermon. Apparently, anyone who dares question him on the Founding Fathers background or beliefs is deemed by him to be a degenerate and hypocrite! Pastor Baldwin uses these words to describe anyone who questions Pastor Baldwin’s authority on the subject of the Founding Fathers and the history of America.
I encourage you to watch this sermon listed above. I encourage everyone to watch it. Why? It is truth mixed with lies. I thought I was listening to a campaign speech for the Founding Fathers who were, and I will shout it from the rooftops, deists/freemasons/antichrists for Rome!!! Freedom of Religion in this country was established for papal Rome NOT for Christians!
STUDY HISTORY AND THE BIBLE! Where are the 10 commandments in Pastor Baldwin’s Freedom Documents compilation (for starters) if this country was founded on Christianity? The America’s 1st Amd freedom of religion was established so that Christians could be persecuted by Romanism and brought back under Roman Catholic Canon laws. That’s what the 1st Amendment was about.
In this message referenced above, Pastor Baldwin said “the Founding Fathers bequeathed this blessed land to us” and that his personal compilation of the “freedom documents” are essentially the Bible for this country.
Pastor Baldwin also said the following to deflect away from Rome and the Papacy.
“What difference does it make if truth is overcome by Romanism, Communism, Judaism, Atheism, Islam, Fascism, Secular Humanism? They are all enemies. They are all error.” I agree BUT he stops short. He INTENTIONALLY DEFLECTS from the true enemy of them all – the Papacy who birthed them all – and then comes back to futurism.
In fact, Pastor Baldwin becomes the hypocrite that he claims he is fighting against by bringing his listeners back to futurism as America’s #1 problem in both government and the churches and then proclaims that there is NO antichrist – ALL of it is just one big ANTICHRIST SYSTEM.
He never mentions the 4 beast kingdoms that Daniel prophesies. Ask yourself, why???
Do NOT be deceived by any man in the church today! Study the Bible. Study History. Get out of the Churches! Get out of ALL the Churches! Get out of the harlot Roman Catholic Church and the so-called Christian churches.
I truly believe the body of Christ is NOT in any modern church today.
Pastor Baldwin is NOT TEACHING OR PREACHING THE ENTIRE TRUTH ABOUT BIBLICAL PROPHECY. Why? For if he were, he would KNOW who the Antichrist is, was and will always be – the Papacy. Jesus did not leave us to doubt who the antichrist is. Jesus told us through the prophets Daniel, Paul, John, the martyrs of Jesus, the blood of the saints, the Protestants before, during and after the Protestant Reformation.
Be watchful of all those in any pulpit who do NOT identify the antichrist that is mentioned in the Holy Word of God over and over and over again – ROME – who enrich the kings of the earth. Be watchful and pray that Pastor Baldwin is not leading his listeners into the ecumenical movement united with Rome because he believes that ZIONISM is what we need to be concerned with. Draw nigh to Jesus Christ by grace through faith alone.
Thank you for sharing your insight! As you said, he points to Christian Zionism and Scofield Futurism as America’s #1 problem, but fails to proclaim who created those narratives.
As for the Founding Fathers, they include the Carroll family, who founded Georgetown U which forms people’s minds to their will, who owned the property where DC is located and helped design the Satanic/Illuminati layout, who pushed to give Catholics the right to vote and hold office which was previously banned, who caused the 14th amendment to be passed to make everyone a slave, who took out many U.S. Presidents., etc.
It’s really obvious that D.C. has a Society of Satan problem, as many in D.C. have allegiance to Rome, but Pastor Baldwin isn’t pointing that out.
Keep teaching truth and exposing deceptions!
Thanks David for your reply. I know my post was way too long but it needed to be said.
Pastor Baldwin is hiding the truth about the Carroll family, the Jesuits, and the Papacy to avoid the true history and foundation of America as well as Biblical history and prophecy. He refuses to teach that ALL Roads Lead BACK to Rome – the 4th and final beast Kingdom prophesied by Daniel.
“The Origin of Futurism and Zionism are the Jesuits” but Pastor Baldwin won’t go near the Jesuits or the false Church of Rome. He calls Catholics “our Romanist friends” to avoid naming names.
It is becoming more and more obvious week after week in his over-the-top screaming and yelling about the Jews the Jews the Jews. This is exactly what the Jesuits want -deflect the blame away from the Papacy and to put it all on their puppets which include the false Khazar Jews and all others who dance and sing with the devil.
Pastor Baldwin’s ties and loyalty to the John Birch Society, Constitution Party, Jerry Falwell, Ronald Reagan, New American Magazine (John Birch Society’s magazine), NewsWithViews, and last but not least, Ron Papist Paul and his son Ayn Rand Paul is enough reason for me to question his silence on matters involving the Satanic Jesuit papal takeover of America and the world.
Yeah, it’s a common tactic to blame front organizations in order to deflect blame away from Rome. And his support of the Founding Fathers and leaders in D.C. is very telling.
Very good article, it is like a breathe of fresh air blowing these days.
Might I add for your further study that the 490 years was cut out….
Cut out of what?
Daniel chapter 8, it would be 2300 years to cleanse the daily, leaving us with the appropriate time when the Holy spirit was being poured out over the earth. 1840’s moving forward.
When I discuss the false teaching I will usually ask the question what about the 2300 year prophesy? A good question because the angel was told in chapter 8 to return and make sure Daniel understood this. that revelation became Daniel Chapter 9.
Thank you for your comment! I’ve seen the explanation that the 490 years was cut out of the 2300 mentioned in Daniel 8. But I don’t believe that is a correct association and it led to the Millerites wrongly proclaiming that Messiah would return in 1844 AD.
The word ‘determined’ in Daniel 9:24 can simply mean ‘decreed.’
I believe that the 2300 days of Daniel 8 were fulfilled in 2300 days, as I don’t believe that one day always points to one prophetic year. Antiochus Epiphanes, the vile person, surrounded Jerusalem with his armies (the abomination of desolation) and killed 10’s of thousands of Jews. They defiled the sanctuary and caused the daily sacrifice to be taken away for 2,300 days (Daniel 8:14). His persecution of the Jews began in 171 B.C. and the temple was cleansed on December 25, 165 B.C.
Another example of when a day points to a day is the 1290 days and 1335 days in Daniel 12, which point to the Jewish-Roman War of 66-70 AD. https://theolivetdiscourse.com/daniel-12-is-not-about-an-end-times-antichrist/
Hi David,
Have the Jesuits infiltrated the Seventh Day Adventists or Steve Wohlberg?
When you have a chance, would you check out Steve Wohlberg’s presentation with Johnny Circucci. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prHwYcrUzAU The title of the You Tube presentation is “Repeat & Enlarge!” Steve Wohlberg on the Daniel 11:40-45 Prophecy for TODAY!
Wohlberg and Cirucci just did a Bible Study on Daniel 11 and it sounded good for the first 20 minutes or so and then it got very scary from there. David, if you call out Lion of Judah and John Barnett (rightly so), you must call this error by Wohlberg (and Johnny who is being deceived) out. It is ERROR and it is SCARY!
I would encourage you to hear this video all the way through so you know what they are teaching in contrast to your study, Scripture, and prophecy. Even the historical dates and times are wrong.
I had no idea until today how much error Wohlberg teaches. I am glad that he righly exposes Jesuitism, the harlot Roman Catholic Church, Catholicism, Jesuitical influence on the founding of America, and the 4th beast kingdom but he is going off into some very weird and Jesuit like deceptions.
Thanks,
April
Hi April, I’ll watch it when I get a chance. I interacted with Steve Wohlberg years ago, as I appreciated some of his explanations and reached out to him. I tried to help him see some areas where’s he’s off-target, but he dismissed by explanations.
I have a page called Seventh Day Adventist False Prophecy Fulfillment Teachings that exposes their false explanations.
I have no doubt the SDA Church has been infiltrated by the Society of Satan.
Keep pressing on for the kingdom!
David
David,
Thank you for your reply.
Recently I made contact with Johnny Cirucci who has teamed up with Wohlberg.
Although I appreciate Cirucci exposing many truths I addressed my concerns to Cirucci about his partnership with Wohlberg and Wohlberg’s many deceptions (intentional or not) regarding prophecy fulfillment. It’s not my interpretation. It’s what the Bible says. Wohlberg just makes stuff up and uses Ellen G. White to somehow support his interpretations as Gospel truth.
In addition, this is the answer I received from Circucci when I expressed my concern about Wohlberg’s wild prophecy explanations.
Cirucci:
“I partner with Steve because he’s a good man, he’s Saved and he has great insights on Rome.”
David,
This is precisely why I trust NO man but God and his Son Jesus Christ. Circucci dismissed and/or disregarded Wohlberg’s man-made interpretations based because the man making them is a good man? Are you serious?
THERE IS NO COMPROMISING SCRIPTURE. This means adding to it or subtracting from it, period!
What I find once again is that neither Wohlberg or Cirucci speak about the Jesuit Superior Generals.
Niether does Tom Friess or Jorg Glissman. Friess and Glismann are two gentlemen that have provided amazing research and truth rooted in Scripture when it comes to the historicist viewpoint BUT they never talk about the Jesuit Superior Generals. They still use Wohlberg’s book “End Time Deceptions” which is full of truth but they only talk about the RCC and the Popes of Rome. No attention is paid to the Black Pope and the many generals that I believe are really pulling the strings. In other words, look at the current Black Pope today. Have you heard him speak? He is a front man with no substance, depth, or sophistication.
Honestly, I do not trust anyone anymore. I test everything against the Scriptures.
– In conclusion
David,
I pointed Circucci to your work and he praised it insofar as the historicist view of eschatology but he found you to be suspect when it comes to your stance on globe cosmology? He said globe cosmology is a work of the Jesuits.
What do I believe on globe cosmology?
I don’t believe in globe or flat earth. I believe this is a ying and yang approach for all to be deceived. I believe in Scripture. I emphatically do not believe we are a spinning ball either. Further, I do NOT believe we are just a flat piece of earth.
Make no mistake, this is going to be a greater issue down the line to divide and conquer people on a religious level when climate change starts resurging with the antichrist Pope’s global agenda on the subject.
Once again, I do NOT trust any man, especially pastors like Steve Wohlberg or Chuck Baldwin. Both present truths but omit and add to Scripture many things. At least Wohlberg exposes the RCC. Chuck Baldwin still believes America was founded by Christian men and holds onto a Constitution as the Savior of America.
Baldwin still preaches that Zionism and Futurism are the antichrist of the Bible. To me, this is total deception behind the pulpit without exposing who birthed these devilish tools.
Thank you for your comment April! I learned from Steve Wohlberg early on when I was studying historicism, so I appreciate him providing some great information.
But as I learned more about the fulfillment of prophecy, I saw the major prophecies that the SDA church gets wrong, which I cover on this page: https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/seventh-day-adventist-false-prophecy-fulfillment-teachings/
I’m not real clear on what Johnny believes about prophecy fulfillment. In his videos and posts, he points to the Jesuits, but as you said, not the General. And he doesn’t seem to connect the Jesuits to prophecy fulfillment.
How is he not seeing that the false prophet of Revelation is the General, the fake priest who serves Satan and is being used to make war with Messiah and His saints, and the whole world?
How are the SDA pastors and Johnny not understanding how the General was instrumental in the first five bowls judgments, which are against Catholics and the antichrist beast pope? They Generals did it out of spite because Catholic countries had kicked the Jesuits out, and the Pope removed their power.
I think that the SDA church has been infiltrated by the Jesuits, which Johnny should know. They proclaim that the earth beast of Revelation 13 is the USA, which serves to deflect blame away from the General who rose to power out of the earth, the land of the Vatican.
So why is Johnny partnering with a SDA teacher, when their explanations deflect blame away from the General? That seems highly suspect to me!
As for Johnny finding me to be suspect because of my stance on the design of the universe, that lacks integrity as I show how the Bible and scientific findings point to a geocentric universe with the immovable earth at the middle and the sun revolving around the earth. I am in no way teaching the Jesuit deception of heliocentrism. But the flat earth theory is a deception from the Jesuits, to hide the geocentric globe earth universe, which proves a Creator. https://biblicalgeocentrism.com
I debunk the supposed ‘flat earth’ Bible verses in my book and on my website, showing how they’ve been taken out of context. And my website shows basic proofs that show that the earth is a globe and cannot be flat. https://flatearthdeception.com
That is odd that Friess and Glismann don’t talk about the General! I don’t have time to listen to them.
I appreciate your discernment. Keep pressing on for the glory of our King!
David
Hello,
Interesting notes here. I would like to hear what you have to say about Paul’s two letters to the Thessalonians, Matthew 24.15, Revelation 12.14. Also, Moses had prophesied that the Jews would be thrust out of the land, but would later return. Luke 21.24, Ezekiel 39, Zechariah 12-14. It all has to fit. The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic text in its use of “for” in verse 27, in a way that can not be dismissed.
Hello Bill, thank you for your comment. I cover Matthew 24:15 and Luke 21:24 in the Olivet Discourse Decoded website and videos.
I cover 2 Thessalonians 2 and Revelation in the Revelation Timeline Decoded website and videos.
Hello David, i came across your page on 70th week from Daniel just randomly in a FB group.
I did not read your books yet, only the articles on the website, and it’s what i have believed all along. I do have a Sda background, but I’m not SDA anymore. I discovered i was being deceived about the true Gospel of Jesus Christ in that “church”
I have a question (maybe you already address that in your books) :
The roman Catholic church was established in the early years 300AD, and they do seem to be purposefully Anti-christ, leading people away from the true salvation gospel. However, since that time , don’t you think that most organized churches have joined them?
I’ve don’t some research into the National Council of Churches, which is the organization body that all churches ascribe to especially in US, in order to get the Nonprofit 401C3 status. And this council is a Catholic established governing system.
In order to be a member, “churches”(as they have hijacked the term and the meaning is totally different than Jesus intended) have to ascribe to a few basic doctrines, the main one being the Trinity….which the Catholic church , the Pope’s, proudly boast as being their invention since it’s not found in the Bible. There are other doctrines, and they also pay membership fees . I won’t go into details.
But in my opinion, any organization that submits itself to the pope , also becomes part of this anti-christ system…..or beast. Thank you for taking time to read my comment.
Hello Alma! That’s great that you understand the historical fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9!
I agree that the Roman Catholic Church was codified in the fourth century, when Constantine and the Roman bishops made declarations at the Council of Nicaea and other councils.
The saints protested against the antichrist beast Popes and their harlot church, which caused the Popes to persecute them during the Dark Ages. The Protestant Reformers declared that what the Pope’s teach is contrary to Scripture.
Sadly, the counter-reformation has been very effective at bringing Protestant churches back under Rome’s authority. And we see many ‘Christian’ leaders and denominations partnering with the Pope in the name of unity.
When you say that the SDA church is deceiving people about the true Gospel, how do you believe that they are doing that?
Thank you,
David
Why don’t believers SEE Messiah fulfilled this week with his blessed, blood sacrifice? Honestly, it grieves me. OSAS deluded folks, JZ deceivers/infiltrators are purposely confusing. It does not help that silly, blind ones keep devising ridiculous mathematic formulas that make no sense whatsoever. It’s both sad and maddening to watch/listen to. FMs, JEZ and other groups are working diligently to counter what our dear Heavenly Father did for us. They are working to STEAL salvation from those who do not know the truth and from those who are poor and ignorant because of evil men/women who do not care to educate them. Bless you, Brother.
For those who do not know, LEARN Salvation: 1 Corinthians 15; JOHN 14; Romans 10.
It’s hard to comprehend how people, especially pastors, as so deceived about this prophecy. If we just apply the proper context and Daniel’s definitions for the key words, we see that it’s about Messiah the Prince coming to confirm the covenant that was mentioned in Daniel 9:4.
I believe some DO know what they are doing. They show this to me when I see the FM/SOJ hand signs and gestures. Many are waking up to these signs. I pray Father pours out His spirit on the sleepy=headed Saints soon. I look forward to this year’s Divine Appointments. Enjoy the day.
“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” PROVERBS 15:3
Yeshua’s ministry was over 490 days and ended at Shavuot (Pentecost) when the Holy Spirit was given – mirroring the giving of the Torah to Moses. The ‘Passover’ in John 6:4 was added at a later date by Eusabious to try extend the period of Yeshua’s ministry and is evident due to the feeding of the five thousand which would have required the Jews to eat bread containing leaven during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, thus breaking His Torah obedience, which clearly did not happen. Overall though it was refreshing to find someone not taken in by the pre-trib rapture deception.
Thank you for your comment Kathy. The prophecy points to Messiah confirming the covenant in the middle of the seven years, as His one-time blood sacrifice ended the need for temple animal sacrifices. So if Messiah’s ministry was only around 490 days, what took place during the other 787 days of the first part of the 70th week of Daniel?
Hi David,
Just wanted to let you know that I finished the Daniel Decoded. Incredible in so many ways.
I am 1/3 through with the Olivet Discourse. This book has made me cry and smile at the same time. I can’t believe we have been deceived for so long by these Jesuit pastors in the pulpits. Yes, Jesuits! You can’t be in the ministry for decades and not know the truth about Scripture, history and prophecy. These are pastors for Heaven’s sake.
On another note, you and your readers may be interested in this latest news below.

Pastor Chuck Baldwin calls out the Hagees, Osteens, and Copelands for their multi-million dollar mansions and ministries BUT what about the VATICAN and the Roman Catholic Church Empire?
Hi ACM, thank you for your comment. The fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel is incredible!
Yeah, the Olivet Discourse makes you grateful to know the truth and irritated that our pastors have not taught us these things!
The Society of Satan has been very effective at hiding the truth of prophecy fulfillment.
That’s interesting about Jorge making a declaration about funds. The financial markets are in flux and someday the bottom will fall out. Then Jorge may offer a one world financial system, for people who join with Him.
Keep pressing on for the glory of our King!
I appreciated your clear expounding on the Daniel 70 weeks prophecy. It seems so obvious, uptil verse 27 ( the middle).
So if there is no 7 year tribulation, what are your thoughts elsewhere in regards to endtime events. As pre-millenial rapture is clearly a trap to deceive sincere believers.
Thanks,
Dan
Thank you for your comment Dan! There’s too much to explain here in this little box. Keep going through the explanations and you’ll get your answer.
I recommend understanding the Olivet Discourse, so that you see that it’s about the judgment of the Jewish nation in the first century, and not about the end times. This website has easy to find links to summaries, videos about the Olivet Discourse and a link to request a free PDF copy of the book. https://bibleprophecydecoded.com
Once you see that the 70th week of Daniel 9 and the Olivet Discourse are not about the end times, then Revelation will make more sense. On the same website you will find links to Revelation summaries, videos about the fulfillment of Revelation and a link to request a free PDF copy of the Revelation Timeline Decoded book summary.
I pray that the explanations bless you in seeing more of the glory of our beloved Messiah!
David
I am no scholar, but I have never been comfortable with the time and prophesies we are told to accept right after Christ comes back! I understand when Christ comes back, He comes back as Lord of Lords! God vanquishes evil, and satan is bound in Heaven. The jesuits have had to fit in a time where they will rule the earth-the 1000 yr reign- I believe it to be a lie. If they knew this, they would not fight anymore, and the vatican can’t accept this. I believe constantine and simon magus the magician from Acts 8 (a must read) When Christ steps foot on earth all evil is vanquished. and only rightishness’ is restored and the end of all evil. humbly…allan
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.
1. To finish the transgression
2. To make an end of sins
3. To make reconciliation for iniquity
4. To bring everlasting righteousness
5. To seal up the vision and prophesy

Matthew 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:)
This is the prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27,
I agree that the six things in Daniel 9:24 were fulfilled when Messiah was crucified for our sins. https://70thweekofdaniel.com/messiah-fulfilled-the-purposes-of-daniel-924-during-the-70th-week-of-daniel/
I respectfully disagree with your timeline explanation. The text does not point to ‘working days.’
The 490 years of the Daniel 9 prophecy points to the 70 Sabbatical years (which the Jews had failed to keep) times seven, not 570 years.
We see this in Matthew 18:22-22, “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”
A Jubilee cycle is 49 years, not fifty, as the prophecy represented ten 49-year Jubilee cycles.
The 50th year is also the first year of the next 49-year cycle.
We see this in the first division of time, in the 7 weeks, which is the 49 years of the Jubilee cycle. The first year of the 490-year prophecy represented the Jews being released and empowered to rebuild Jerusalem.
The text points to Messiah being killed in the middle of the seven years of the 70th week.

Angelina, praise our Heavenly Father for giving us eyes to see and ears to hear! Contact me anytime to let me know how I can help you. Keep pressing on for the glory of our King! David
I’m off-topic, but I’m having probs finding the appropriate page for this comment. I now agree with you David that the “Little Apocalypse” portions of the Synoptics are fulfilled and were fulfilled with the destruction of Jerusalem. No future fulfillments, period. Thanks for holding the line. Also, I have a great idea for a T-shirt, an idea received from a Lutheran pastor (Missouri Synod, bless ’em for holding the line too) as to the identity of the Antichrist: PAPAE ESSE IPSUM VERUM ANTICHRISTUM (Latin, obviously) which means THE PAPACY IS THE TRUE ANTICHRIST or THE PAPACY IS THE REAL ANTICHRIST. You might want to offer clever and/or attention-getting T-shirts such as this (and others as they occur to you) to help support your work. I would definitely buy this one.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion of the T-shirt as it’s clever. Selling T-shirts is not my niche. Thankfully, our Heavenly Father supports me through people who send money to support the ministry. Keep pressing on for the glory of our King!
David,
It’s great that the Lord showed you that Daniel 9 was fulfilled by Christ at His first coming. The Lord showed me this back in 2007 and I know that it goes against what is taught today.
In the last couple of years the Lord has unsealed the prophecy in Daniel even more. Dr. Christian Widener has discovered that there is actually a Second Fulfillment to this wonderful prophecy. His book is entitled: Witnessing The End, which goes into all of the details (424 pages). He has allowed me to condense his message in a book that I wrote this year entitled: The Final Countdown. All of our books may be freely downloaded from our website.
Please send me your email address so we can keep in touch.
God bless,
Jim Harman
Thanks for sharing Jim. I don’t believe in the secondary fulfillment of specific prophecies, but I’m open to learning. Keep pressing on for the glory of our King! David
David, the rock that destroys the statue of Daniël 2 hits it at it’s toes, that are made of iron and clay. Since your explanation of the iron & clay is the Roman Catholic church system and the Islamic religion, does that mean the heavenly kingdom has been set up sometime in/after the 7th century?
The Roman Catholic Church has not been judged yet, as we see the completion of that narrative in the seventh vial and in Revelation 17-18. So I don’t believe that the judgment is compete yet, but lies in the future.
Thanks. Ok so you’re saying the rock that transforms into a great mountain IS the kingdom and was setup shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem BUT the actual destruction of the statue by that rock still lies in the future? I guess that’s the only way to reconcile this but it’s still strange that the rock is mentioned in connection with the feet of iron and clay, a combination that only appears 600 years later (islam+romanism). What could the ten toes signify? The 10 regions in which the club of Rome has divided the future one world order?
Right. Messiah set up His kingdom in the first century. https://theolivetdiscourse.com/messiah-set-up-his-kingdom/
It has grown into a great mountain of people since then. Messiah’s people, the rock, will be used to cast down the Roman/Islam deception.
The ten toes are the ten kingdoms of Western Europe which formed after the last western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 487 AD, during the fourth trumpet judgment. The popes fulfilled the role of the little horn of Daniel 7 and antichrist beast of Revelation 13, when they took power over the ten civil kingdoms. https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/prophecy-points-to-the-leader-of-the-roman-beast/

There is a DUAL timeline. Daniel 9:25 pertains to the historical timeline, the physical rebuilding of the Temple “7 weeks” or (49 years) etc.
HOWEVER, Daniel 9:26, picks up on the New Testament timeline
Uriel, I’m not sure what you mean by “Daniel 9:26, picks up on the New Testament timeline.”
The timeline of 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week was fulfilled from 457 BC – 34 AD.

How do I respond to my daughter that there is no rebuilding of the temple before Christ returns?
Hello Brad. Help me understand. Why is the rebuilding of the temple so important to your daughter? Because of the associations that the antichrist will enter it?
Hi David,
Thank you for your great work! What’s the best way to contact you to request a podcast interview?

Brad, this site will help you greatly in explaining these things to your daughter. There’s a section about the meaning of the word “temple” in the NT (heiron and naos):

Hey David,
I saw your study about the celestial bodies. Where you wrote that Orion means “Coming as light” or “Prince of glory”.
Have you ever heard about the Orion message? Indeed God speaks to us through heaven. You can read it here (strict after the bible transalted King James Version):

Hello David I enjoy your work. I wondered if you ever read the martyrs mirror book.?
Hello Nelson, I had not heard of that book until now. Looks like an amazing testimony book about people’s faith.
David
Very nice scholarship. I have had concern with “most” revelation commentators speak of a “third” rebuilt temple on the Temple mount. This is scholarship I’ve investigated by Pastor Carl Gallops as follows from a dissertation document of his. Revelation 11 might be about a “third temple,” however those verses do not actually say it is a “rebuilt” or “restored” or “third temple.” The Greek word used for “temple” in Rev. 11 (Strong’s 3485 – naos) is the same Greek word used throughout Revelation for the “temple in Heaven.” This is the only way the word is used in Revelation until we get to chapter 11 – so we have to ask, “Why wouldn’t it be used the very same way here as well?” The answer is that it almost “has” to be used in the same way – because John does not change the context of the use of the word – at all.
The word “temple” is used twice in Revelation before Chapter 11:1. Both times, it is used to speak of the temple in Heaven. Starting in Rev. 11:19 the word is used 15 more times by the end of the book. Every single one of those times it is used in the context of the “temple in Heaven.” The Grk. word used is always “naos”. The Greek word naos is also used over a dozen times in the New Testament in the symbolic sense – speaking of a person’s heart, or the body of Christ (the Church). It can also mean simply “a temple, or shrine – of any kind.” (See http://biblehub.com/greek/3485.htm)
However, in the rest of the N.T., including John’s other writings (Gospel of John and 1,2,3 John), another GK word is used ( Strong’s 2411 – Heiron – http://biblehub.com/greek/2411.htm) when speaking of the actual temple edifice existing in Jesus’ day. Every other time John uses naos in any of his writings he is referring to a symbolic temple, or to the temple in Heaven – every single time – including the entirety of the book of Revelation.
Thanks Warren! It seems that the ‘temple’ in Revelation 11 is Messiah’s Ekklesia, His Church. This study explains: https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/measuring-the-temple-of-revelation-11/
Another extremely important truth to understand is that Jesus Christ is the singular seed of Abraham (as of one), not the people of Israel (as of many). Paul defeats zionism in Galatians 4 where he reveals that God’s people are of Isaac who is a type of Jesus Christ or child of promise whereas physical Israel is typified by Ishmael, a type of people after the flesh. It parallels the principle that the physical type comes before the spiritual truth or fulfillment. Paul’s conclusion, cast out the son of the bondwoman, for he shall no be a co-heir with the son of the freewoman. This destroys the “christian” zionist lie that the promises to physical and spiritual Israel will be jointly fulfilled.
That’s a great point Frank! I cover that topic on this study: https://theolivetdiscourse.com/messiah-set-up-his-kingdom/
Nonsense interpretation of Daniel’s 70 weeks
Tony, when you provide explanations to prove that the points on this summary video are wrong, then I’ll change my website explanations, videos and book. https://youtu.be/COGkwUBYVvw?si=jhnE6Z3eGTmR1JWn
This cannot be true. Daniel asked WHEN the Sanctuary will finally be cleansed. Daniel meant the Heavenly one. That is where Jesus placed all sin when He went back to the Heavenly Realm so now the real Sanctuary, “The Most Holy Place” has all the sins in it. The Angel Gabriel explained it to Daniel in number sucessions, I’m not good with numbers but then at the end of the Angel’s explanation he says then when it is finally cleansed will usher in eternal righteousness. So, please explain this. Thank you.
The prophecy in Daniel 8:14 has nothing to do with the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 prophecy. The sanctuary that’s being referred to in Daniel 8:13 is the physical temple which Grecian Antiochus Epiphanes and his army took control of for 2,300 days. The Jewish Maccabees then took control of the temple and cleansed it, which is marked by Hanukah, the Feast of Lights, the Feast of Dedication.
I talk about the 2,300 days in Daniel 8 on this study: https://70thweekofdaniel.com/the-little-horn-and-2300-days-of-daniel-8/
I have been reading “The 70th Week of Daniel by Philip Mauro, and find much of what he says in your videos. It is good that this the truth is known,. Sadly there is so much confusion about this topic
Gunnar, I’ve read ‘The 70th Week of Daniel’ by Philip Mauro and it was very helpful. Yeah, sadly the deception about that prophecy is grand!
What are your thoughts on Satan’s Little Season? I’ve seen videos stating Jesus returned in 70 AD and reigned for a 1000 years. That’s why we had all those beautiful Tartaria buildings that was destroyed. You can see in some of the mountain structures that fervent heat melted something. It was reported by Josephus in his Jewish War book that chariots were seen in the sky. A star resembled a sword in the sky. There was a light in the temple at night. A cow gave birth to a lamb in the temple. Satan was released from his bondage after 1000 years. Probably why there is so much deceit in the world now. https://www.cryforjerusalem.com/post/the-seven-miraculous-signs-of-josephus-during-the-last-days-at-the-end-of-the-age
Tony, my Revelation Timeline Decoded video series and book so that most of the prophecies in Revelation have been fulfilled during the last 1,900 years, which disproves the preterist narrative that it took place in the first century. https://revelationtimelinedecoded.com
Indeed, Josephus and others saw a signs which pointed to the judgment of the unbelieving Jewish nation during the Jewish-Roman War of 66-70 AD. I show that in The Olivet Discourse Decoded video series and book. https://theolivetdiscourse.com
But that’s a separate prophecy and is not directly related to the prophecies in Revelation.
