I am going to make this very simple. This was worked out by wakeup. I agreed with his interpretation after debating it. Even more so since looking up bible history timelines. After all, i'm no historian...
70 weeks.
10 years per week.
***Daniel was given the vision when in captivity in Babylon. This was according to history around 586 bc. (about 2600 years ago)
Cyrus defeats Babylon around 539 bc. (around 2500 years ago)
Cyrus releases Jews to rebuild Jerusalem around 538 bc. (around 2500 years ago)
Jerusalem razed by Romans 70 ad. (around 1900 years ago)
Now look at the numbers please. How much time elapsed since ***Daniel was captive in Babylon where he recorded the 70 week prophecy until Messiah and the eventual destruction of Jerusalem?
That's right...700 years !!!!...70 weeks.10 years per week. 70 weeks were fulfilled in 70 ad. 700 years after the command was given !!!!!
Now look at Daniel again...
Daniel 9
24> 70 weeks are determined upon thy people....to be 700 years forward counting FROM the captivity.
25> from the command to rebuild up UNTIL the Messiah is cut off is 62 weeks...620 years all inclusive from the time elapsed since Babylon.
26> 70 ad Jerusalem razed 700 years !!!! ......
So 1 week......
+62 weeks.....up to the crucifixion = 620 years from Babylon captivity.
+7 weeks.....Jerusalem razed 70 ad =7 weeks, 10 years per week.
=70 weeks which is 700 years.
Remember...all the above is contained WITHIN the 70 weeks...we need not add or subtract from when Jesus was born, or from when He started His ministry up to His crucifixion...for it is all inclusive and contained within those 70 weeks !! So simple, this is how God counted the elapsed time, Praise the Lord.
So 10 years (1 week) are missing....or are they? we need 10 years to make up the 700 years...wakeup worked it out...or should i say...wakeup had it revealed to him...and this explanation is nowhere else....
So the missing week? I think wakeup should reveal it...wakeup?
