Nope it is 490 years. The 483 has been completed. The 7 will also. As Jesus said, :now it has been hidden from you" He even acknowledged their would be a break in time. Then again, Daniel 9 shows us the break. we just have to open up to see it.
EG - i read your post.
have to rest. can we discuss it later?
meanwhile:
Nope it is 490 years. The 483 has been completed. The 7 will also.
490 years is not 490 years then.
it is 483 consecutive years...followed by a huge gap of unknown period of time....followed by a separate period of 7 years.
that's not 490 years.....that 2490+ years.
i don't care how you finesse this.
you're the one who needs every single date or period of time in scripture to be literal and precise.
except in this case.
the 7 years is only needed due to a misunderstanding about the tribulation.
and anyway....AFTER 69 weeks Messiah is cut off....not before.
if you sever week 70, you have Jesus killed in our future.
Daniel 9
24Seventy 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. 25Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27And 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. - KJV
25Know and understand this:
From the issuing of the decree
to restore and rebuild Jerusalemar
until •Messiahas the Princeat
will be seven weeks and 62 weeks.au
It will be rebuilt with a plaza and a moat,
but in difficult times.
26After those 62 weeksav
the Messiah will be cut offaw
and will have nothing.
The people of the coming prince
will destroy the cityax and the sanctuary.
Theay end will come with a flood,az
and until the end there will beba war;
desolations are decreed. - Holman
62+7=69....unto the Coming.
AFTER WEEK 69 JESUS IS CUT OFF.
that means He is cut off in week 70.
