<<<The half Week of Messiah's ministry can still be viewed as the 70th Week. The covenant for the 70th Week can therefore still be a 3.5 years period and not a complete 7 years.>>>
That's crazy talk right there my friend......
That's crazy talk right there my friend......
For example, let's say I said, "It's going to take me a month - 30 days - to move into my new home", and then I began listing all the things I needed to do to complete the move in that established time-frame:
- From the time I close until I can actually walk in with keys will be 7 days..
- And then in 2 weeks I'll get my furniture moved over..
- After the 2 weeks I'll be able to cut off my utilities at my old home and then get those accounts transferred over...
- Then I'll make it official for the 1 week with a housewarming party.
- Inside that week I'll be finished with traveling to and from my old apartment.
It doesn't necessarily mean I'll have a 1-week long housewarming party OR that my move will only be official for just 1 week. Rather, in the week that remains I'll make it official and have a housewarming party.

The context of how to read the list of events (given to Jerusalem and Daniel's people) is given in the opening passage of Daniel 9:24 (i.e. "70 'sevens' are determined to do the following stuff...").
Each event will be accomplished at certain moments within the 70 "sevens" time-frame. But it doesn't necessarily mean each event will take as long as described or only last that length of time...especially if it's the very last event to happen in the list. But it's definitely pointing out WHEN those things will happen within that time-frame.
