When we read Daniel 9:24, we understand that God purposed and ordained six great events which shall happen to the children of Israel and to the whole world. God ordained 70 weeks upon the children of Israel for the fulfillment of all prophesies. The seventy weeks specifically speaks about the exact time and events God has purposed to be upon the face of the earth until the end.
I do understand that this theme is new to many believers but it's the revealed will of God that you should now understand it in depth because the time is at hand for the consummation of all prophesies.
The Lord Jesus picked me from the remote regions of Uganda as an orphaned boy and gave me His Word. He sent me four Watchers that stand by me to carry out their ministry and by their strength and the help of the Holy Spirit have I acquired wisdom and understanding from the Holy Tablets of heaven. I didn't go to a theological school nor did any man teach me the things that am sharing with you. It was all given to me by the revelation of the Holy Spirit when I was caught up in a holy flame under the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Believe the gospel and believe the Word am sharing with you because it's Truth. Many shall stumble and fall but the wise shall gain understanding and shall instruct many saints. The spirit of the Lord took hold of me and showed me the beginning, the present and some of the future events that shall be upon the face of the earth.
Now touching the Seventy weeks of Daniel. It specifically speaks about the exact time and events God has purposed to be upon the face of the earth until the end. I will begin by revealing some of the Prophetic symbols which are very important in order to understand the scriptures of Prophecy. God used figures and symbols to represent events, kingdoms, personalities, powers and things.
Below are the most commonly used prophetic symbols in the Book of Daniel and their interpretation.:-
A Beast represents a kingdom or a king.
Horn represents a power/ king /kingdom /authority/Ruler.
Crown represents Authority
A woman represents a church (either a Harlot church or a Virgin church)
A Dragon represents Satan (Lucifer)
Water /Floods represent Multitude of people
A week (one set of seven) represents seven years
Time is equivalent to One year
Times is equivalent to 2 years
Half a time is equivalent to half a year (six months)
One year is equivalent to 360 days
One month is equivalent to 30 days
Let's dive deep now
When we read Daniel 9:24, we understand that God purposed and ordained six great events which shall happen to the children of Israel and to the whole world. God ordained 70 weeks upon the children of Israel for the fulfillment of all prophesies.
According to Daniel 9:24, what would be accomplished during the 70 weeks?
During the 70 weeks, there are six purposes of God that were to be accomplished upon the earth as God has ordained.
Daniel 9:24, Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city:-
1) To finish the transgression,
2) To make an end of sins,
3) To make reconciliation for iniquity,
4) To bring in everlasting righteousness,
5) To seal up the vision and prophecy,
6) To anoint the most Holy.
The Fulfillment Of The 70 Weeks Of Daniel
[24] 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.
[25]Know 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.
[26]And 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.
[27]And 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.
We need to understand that God gave the children of Israel a timeline showing how things would befall them until the end of the world.
What is the meaning of the 70 weeks?
Remember we said that 1 week always is equivalent to 7 years.
Therefore the 70 weeks were (70*7) years which is equivalent to 490 years.
Can I prove that one week is equal to 7 years? Yes off course,
Looking at Vs 25, we understand that the 70 weeks were divided into three parts:-
The 7 weeks
The 62 weeks (threescore and two weeks)
And the last one week.
The Bible says that in the first seven weeks, the temple shall be rebuilt during troublesome times. But we know very well that the second Temple was built in 49 years from the forth going of the decree by Cyrus the king of Persia towards it's construction. The decree that commenced the building was given in 445 BC.
When we compare the prophecy by the Angel (seven weeks) and the actual time that the temple was raised, then we understand that 7 weeks was equivalent to 49 years.
If 7 weeks equals 49years,
Then one week will be (49/7) = 7 years.
Therefore we understand that 49 years equals to 7 weeks.
Therefore, 1 week is equivalent to 7 years.
Also, the Bible says that after 62 weeks, the Messiah shall come and be killed.
In Vs. 25, there were to be 7 weeks + 62 weeks (7 + 62 = 69 weeks) from the giving of the commandment to the killing of the Messiah.
Prophetically these 69 weeks were equivalent to 69 * 7 years which is equivalent to 483 years
The wise men (Matthew 2: 1-10) from the east used these 70 weeks of Daniel to determine and understand the time of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
When do the 70 weeks begin to count?
Verse 24 of Daniel 9 stipulates it that we have to begin counting the fulfillment of the years at the giving of the decree to build and restore Jerusalem.
The decree was given by King Cyrus in the year 445 BC
[1]Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
[2]Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
[3]Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
When the king gave a decree in the year 445 BC, it exactly took 49 years to finish building the temple at Jerusalem fulfilling the word of the Angel.
Also generally when we subtract 445 minus 483 (445 - 483 = -38 years)
The 62 weeks prophetically showed us when the messiah was to come and be killed which it was fulfilled. The messiah was killed in approximately 33 AD which is within the range of the prophecy of the weeks.
Then the last one week, is a very terrible timing. This time has not yet been fulfilled yet. It shall be fulfilled by the Antichrist, the beast and the image of the beast. Therefore understand that the first 69 weeks was already filled from 445 BC when the King Cyrus gave the decree until the death of the Lord Jesus Christ in approximately 33 AD.
The second temple was to be built in troublesome times (Nehemiah 4:1 - 23). This too was fulfilled perfectly.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
18 For the builders, everyone had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
Is there need for the construction of the third Temple? The answer is No.
There is no need for the third temple. God no longer dwells in temples made by human hands. We are now the temple of God and God dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16). The proposal for the construction of the third temple is not scriptural, and it denies the finished works of Jesus Christ at the cross of Calvary (John 2:19).
Are the 70weeks of Daniel already accomplished? Absolutely No.
According to the scriptures, out of the 70 weeks of Daniel, only 69 weeks have been fulfilled already. Only one week is remaining.
We need also to understand that there is a very big difference and separation between the 69th week and the last one week according to Daniel.
The 70 weeks was the time determined only for the house of Israel. The Gentiles were not in the original plan of God. Salvation belonged to the Jewish people (John 4:22). Jesus came to his own people Israelites, but they rejected him.
When the Israelites rejected their God-sent Messiah, that's when a window of salvation was opened for the Gentiles to come in and be saved. Therefore as many gentile people as possible did accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, God gave them the right to become God's children (John 1:12).
The Gentiles were grafted in God's salvation plan for Israel by the grace of God the Father (Romans 11:17). The Gentiles were saved by God's grace. This is the window of the dispensation of Grace that was to come.
From the destruction of the temple by the people of Rome which was fulfilled in 70AD (Daniel 9:26), the 70 weeks of Daniel was suspended for a time until the full salvation of the Gentiles be accomplished.
Grace dispensation set in and it has lasted for over 2000 years, now we know and understand from the Bible that every after two thousand years, judgment strikes the whole earth. From Adam to Noah, it was approximately 2000 years, from Noah to Jesus Christ, it was 2000 years, and from Jesus' accession until now, the 2000 years are accomplished. Therefore we know that the gentile dispensation is finished. The grace period is fulfilled dear friends.
When we look in the world, and we can see that grace has finally been misused by the Gentile church, there is a great fall away from the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 2:3). Once the grace period is fulfilled, then the last one week of Daniel shall set in.
The Last One Week (The Seventieth Week)
After the accomplishment of the grace period, there would arise a ruler, a king, a kingdom who would make a covenant by peace with many nations. And by his policy, he shall prosper because it has been foretold by the Lord.
[27]And 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.
After the accomplishment of the grace period, there would arise a ruler, a king, a kingdom who would make a covenant by peace with many nations. And by his policy, he shall prosper because it has been foretold by the Lord.
This ruler is the man of intrigue, the son of lawlessness (perdition), the antichrist. He shall assure the whole world peace and by flatteries, he shall subdue the whole world. This Man the Antichrist will establish a world covenant (New World Order) and it will stand firm for only Seven years as appointed by God.
During the end of the first three and a half years of his reign, he will pollute the sanctuary (The Church) and shall cause worship to be directed to him. Men will no longer look upon God but they shall seek the antichrist for their survival. Men's praise, worship, prayer and requests will be made to the Antichrist.
When his sin will have come to the maximum, by cutting off the daily sacrifices of the saints, then the Lord Jesus will come in a secret rapture (Catch away) and take His own Bride from the earth (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, 1 Thessalonians 5:2).
This seven years covenant affects the whole world, it’s the New world order policy of Peace, Tolerance and Humanism (Daniel 8:24-25, 1 Thessalonians 5:3). And whoever shall not adjust to the new normal, to the ruling of the new world order shall be isolated, quarantined, shunned, or killed because he/she will be portrayed as an enemy to the community and the world. The world will be derived towards one agenda. It shall be one policy worldwide implementation. One religion, one king that gives orders to all nations.
The international Bodies are the forerunners of the New World Order government (UNO, WHO, NATO, WCC, Interpol, World Bank, Etc.). Therefore brethren, be careful of the worldwide policies that stand contrary to the Word of God. Never adjust to the new world order systems.
During the last one week, Daniel 9:24 shall be fulfilled. All prophecies shall be fulfilled and at the end, the Kingdom of God shall be established on the earth forever and ever.
A summary of the events that will befall the world during this last week:-
The Antichrist shall arise.
There will be tribulations in the first half of the week
The effects of the Seven Seals shall be intensified.
The effects of the seven Trumpets shall be intensified.
The Secret Rapture (Catching Away) of the Bride of Christ shall happen (Matthew 25:6, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ).
The Two Witnesses of Revelation chapter 11 shall come.
The Abomination of Desolation shall be placed.
The Mark of the Beast 666 shall be implemented.
Great tribulations shall be upon the earth in the last three and half years of the seven years.
The seven Vials (plagues) of revelation shall be poured upon the earth.
Satan and his Angels shall be cast from the second heaven.
Revelation chapter 12 shall be fulfilled.
The 144,000 people of Israel shall be saved during the Great tribulations.
At the end of the Seven years covenant, The Battle of Armageddon shall be fought where the devil and all his angels shall be cast and bound into the bottomless pit for one thousand years (Revelations chapter 20). God's kingdom (millennium reign) will be established upon the earth forever and evermore.
After the millennium reign of the saints on earth, then shall come the Great judgment of God and then lastly the creation of THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH (Revelations chapter 21).
Shalom and Barakah from YHWH.
