No that's not what the Hebrew text says. It says he would be cut off after THE 62 week period (השבעים), which followed the 7-week period. It definitely doesn't say that he would be cut off at the end of 69 weeks (שבעים).
Wrong, the 70th week of Daniel to fulfill GOD's covenant with ISRAEL, does NOT follow consecutively to 69th week, the CHURCH-AGE (New Covenant) is in between. What so many fail to remember is that GOD's Covenant with ISRAEL, is an EVERLASTING COVENANT, therefore the 70th Week to Fulfill God's Covenant with ISRAEL, can ONLY be the very last Seven Years of Man ruling over this earth.
1 Chronicles 16:15-17 (NASB)
[SUP]
15 [/SUP] Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to
a thousand generations,
[SUP]
16 [/SUP]
The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
[SUP]
17 [/SUP] He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ISRAEL, the 70th week of Daniel is YET TO BEGIN.
Daniel 9:24-27 (NASB)
[SUP]
24 [/SUP] "Seventy weeks have been decreed
for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy
place.
[SUP]
25 [/SUP] "So you are to know and discern
that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the PriBnce
there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP] "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing,
{
THE CHURCH-AGE BEGAN AT THAT MOVEMENT, and ONLY AFTER THE CHURCH-AGE ENDS WITH THE CALLING OUT OF THE BRIDE TO GO TO THE WEDDING OF THE LAMB; CAN THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL BEGIN. HENCE THE FIRST COVENANT SHALL END LAST, AND THE LAST COVENANT SHALL END FIRST.}
and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end
will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.
[SUP]
27 [/SUP] "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations
will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."
An average generation has for the most part died off after 70 - 80 years. So let's use 75 for the biblical definition of a generation. So how do you square the fact that GOD said His covenant with ISRAEL would last a 1000 Generations when 70 weeks of years, is ONLY 490 years? HOW can your theory that the 70th week is consecutive to the 69th week of years ever even come close to being equal a 1000 generations?
Do the math, 70 weeks of years running consecutively is ONLY 6.5 generations. THERE IS A HUGE GAP IN TIME BETWEEN WHEN THE 69TH WEEK ENDED AND WHEN THE 70TH WEEK BEGINS. Now how do you square the fact, that GOD says that covenant is an EVERLASTING COVENANT, and you think it ended 7 years after Messiah was cut off? WE have no problem with making that all square with what the Bible actually says; because we also understand that the 144,000 Jews sealed from harm in Revelation, were sealed to make sure GOD's Covenant with ISRAEL, continues on into the KINGDOM. Those 144,000 Jews will be repopulating ISRAEL, continuing GOD's Everlasting Covenant to
GIVE THE LAND THE CANAAN as an everlasting inheritance to descendants of ISRAEL.
