Zec 12:10 (KJV) And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.Don't go to sleep.......I'm going to look for it
If I came across as arrogant , I do apologize. I respect your post and agree with most. But we do disagree on the 70th week events.
It is that the question I asked seems to never be addressed when discussing the 70th week.
I Believe the key is often missed. Verse 25 mentions that the wall will be built.
If we study Nehemiah we learn that the wall was dedicated 53 years after the decree to return to Jerusalem.
If we add those 53 years to the 434 (62 weeks) we have 487 years.
Jesus was crucified during the 487th year of the 70th week.
Daniel simply was using two different event as the starting point to the conclusion of two events that would take place during the 70th week.
I believe that the 3 1/2 year ministry of Jesus where He offered Himself to the Jews as their promised Messiah. and also lade the ground work for His church is a part of the 70th week.
I just do not see where one can ignore that
When Daniel addresses the final days in Daniel 12, he mentions 1260 days, 1290 days, and 1335 days, but not seven years.
I believe that when the man of sin is identified, the final half of the 70th week will begin, the first half being the ministry of Jesus.
I know most, if not all, will disagree with me, but that is the conclusion I have come to after many years of study,
I may be wrong, but the same can be said of all of us.
Zec 12:10 (KJV) And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
EG thinks this verse and the rest of Zechariah 12 hasn’t been fulfilled yet lol.
or you are not much of an historian
Don't go to sleep.......I'm going to look for it
And tomorrow is another day.
Good night, sleep tight and don't let your bedbugs bite
I have no idea where he comes from, whatever I ask I get noodles for answers.
Ever notice the he has quesions but never answers any........like what doe he do with 1 Peter 1:3?
I do not have to sue you.Eternally.........so sue me.
1 Peter 1:3
You cannot vanquish a Calvinist
.You may think you can, but you cannot. The stones of the great doctrines so fit into each other that the more pressure there is applied to remove them, the more strenuously do they adhere. And you may mark that you cannot receive one of these doctrines without believing all.
I don't believe any person ever paid for anyone else's sins. It's like Jesus said, the scriptures testify of him. Sometimes Old Testament shadows are hard to read but for me there is no doubt Ezekiel is foreshadowing Jesus.
In that particular passage, God made it clear that He had married Israel, a prostitute.I've always wondered about that.
How could God ask that prophet to go against His own commandments which state you are not allowed to marry a harlot? (Any sons of Israel cant do this it says)
I read up some commentaries on it, John Gill seems to suggest its a parable, due to the apparent conflict with the commandments given.
Some say it was lawful because God specifically commanded it. Exception to the rule kind of deal. WHich okay, sounds reasonable but I can see this opening the flood gates. By the same token anyone could claim God told tehm to do all kinds of sins and we should be okay with it today. That is the worry with this particular interpretation.
Doesn't matter how you understand it - what is important is that the 70 weeks ended with the destruction of "thy holy city" in the 1st century AD - there is no gap in the weeks, Daniel does not give any indication of a gap.
(Dan 9:24 KJV) 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.
You forgot the rest of Lev 26 where moses was told EVEN after Isreal was completely removed from their land (which never happened under babylon) if they would repent, God would remember his promise to the fathers, he woudl remember the eternal covenant he made with Abraham, he would remember the land.The question was asked of Jesus, "How many times should we forgive our brother, up to seven times?" Jesus responds (MAT18:22), "I do not say to you, up seven times but 70x7." Then Jesus goes right into a parable about settling accounts. Who does God have an account to settle? Many Christians think this means that Christians should always forgive those who transgress against us, which it true, but I think has a much deeper meaning. Let me take you back to Leviticus.
In Leviticus 26:1-13 God promises the Israelites prosperity, blessing and success, but from 14 to the end of the chapter God lays it out what it would be like if they disobey His commands:
14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,
15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,
16 I also will do this to you:
I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart.
And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies.
Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you.
18 ‘And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
Read to the end of the chapter. Well, you should know the story, the Isrealites continued on a path for the most part of disobedience, God decides to punish them via the Babylonian captivity for 70 years. Near the end these 70 year,s 1 man, Daniel, knows the 70 year prophesy and prays to God on behalf of his countrymen. God answers with the 70x7 prophesy, see Israel as a whole did not repent. Most of the Jews living in Babylonian had established lives and did not leave at the Kings decree to rebuild the Jerusalem wall. In essence, the Jews as a nation did not repent of their disobedience and God extended their previous punishment seven times. And although they were allowed to go back to their home land (in which only a few of the whole did) they were never in complete control, they never had their national status back. The Jews were always under the control of other nations (the 4 beasts in an earlier prophesy in Daniel) the last one being the Roman Empire.
Therefore, Jesus was proclaiming the end to the Jewish way of life/worship/establishment, that the system they were accustomed to was going to be judged according to Old Testament law. Even though their existence was still sustained by God for 490 years, they were still under God's punishment in which was going come to an end, in which indeed came, at the coming of Christ. See, 70 weeks was determined for six things (Daniel 9:26) in which Jesus fulfilled at His coming. If one of these six is claimed to be fulfilled via the NT, then the whole six must be fulfilled for they all come to a close at the same time. These six things are:
Had to cut some of the post due to the 1000 word limit)
After all of this, to some (most if not all) there will be no convincing. All six things are fulfilled, not what I say, but what the bibles says.
This is not true The destruction of the city follows the cutting off of the messiah Which is to occurs at the END of the 69th week. Which is followed by an undetermined time of war desolations. After the flood. And THEN the 70th week starts with some future prince confirming a covenant for 7 years with many. Which 3.5 years after this time, He will commit the abomination of desolation. Which Jesus says will be IMMEDIATELY followed by the great tribulation. Which Gabriel said in Dan 9 will contine until a time that is determined (we know from other prophesies this time is 3.5 years) at whcih time, as jesus said himself. He will put an end to tribulation because if he does not, all flesh will die, So he puts an end to it as his returnThe destruction of the city is not part of the 70th week, just a after effect of the 70th week. However, the decree to destroy the city was give in the 70th week by Jesus. Read Daniel carefully and you'll see verse 26 and 27 in parallel, 26A and 27A are part the 70th, but both 26B and C and 27B and C are after effect, a direct result due the 70th week events.
Which verses there?Even Dan 2 and Dan 9 prophesies concernign the gentile rulers over jerusalem we are told will end by the return of Christ himself.
Which verses there?
This would cement the case and destroy preterism conclusively. PLEASE show us the specific verses bro.
PLEASE!
21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time. (3.5 Years) 26 ‘But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume and destroy it forever. 27 Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’
