1 | The AntiChrist | Dan 9:27 | DaDad | 198486 | ||
I believe there are two words of interest as identified by John Walvoord's "Daniel, The Key to Prophetic Revelation", p.271, and defined by Strongs, being shibrah H7651 (masculine, - a less concise term), and shabuwa #H7620 (feminine, - a more concise term). I presume that the author intentionally used two time lines, rather than the one which translators portend. Thus one should consider that the seven "shibrah" and the sixty-two "shibrah" are not weeks, but the seventieth "shabuwa" is a week. Accordingly, one should evaluate whether Daniel 9:2 cites an OT book for confirmation. If so, then the book of Psalms is proposed by J.R. Church, "Hidden Prophecies in the Psalms", representing this 19th book for the 1900's, with respective chapters associated to the years. Given the above, if Psalms 23 (1923) is a foundational chapter, and Psalms 24 (1924) depicts the "going forth of the word to establish and rebuild Jerusalem", and David Ben-Gurion arising to prominance in 1931, then we should find a peace accord in 1993 and an assassination after 1993 (i.e., 1995). The end of this peace accord should occur in 2000. The anti-christ will come after this seventieth week. So to answer your question, Daniel 9:2 states "years", which represent a 365-day span of time. The seventieth "week" is the Dayton/Oslo peace accord which is a seven-year span of time. Apparently neither of these time lines is associated with the 42 months of tribulation as described in Revelation 13. |

2 | Why Daniel 9:24-27? | Daniel | DaDad | 198483 | ||
Before interpreting this passage, one should be aware of the original text, shibah and shabuwa. Shibah is the unusual masculine gender, almost a slang for the sixty-nine total spans of time, and shabuwa is the concise feminine gender, for the literal seventieth span of time. -- Please note that both Youngs and Strongs are problematic in their citations, but John Walvoords "Daniel, The Key to Prophetic Revelation", p.217, or any interlinear should confirm the two texts. I would propose that if the author has intended to present all periods of time as sevens, he certainly would have used shabuwa. Thus one might consider that the sixty nine shibah are years, as provided in 9:2, and only the seventieth is the shabuwa week. Fortunately 9:2 also suggests that we can find confirmation to this premise in one of the OT books. In 1985, a book titled "Hidden Prophecies In the Psalms", by J.R. Church, proposed that Psalms is the 19th book of the bible, and is prophetic for the 1900s, with each chapter representing a respective year. I.e., book 19, chapter 44, would describe the holocaust; Chapter 45, the liberating U.S. military with a Hiroshima and Nagasaki inference, and so forth. According to this concept, if one were to presume that Psalms 23 is a foundational chapter, and Psalms 24 were the "going forth of the word to establish and rebuild Jerusalem", then history should account for a messiah (small "m") in 1931. I believe that David Ben-Gurion arose to significant leadership at that time. - Please note that Newton observed that it does "violence" to add the seven and sixty-two, and that the RSV and some other translations, including the Jewish Publication Society, portend a messiah (small "m") at the seven periods-of-time, and a second messiah (small "m") after the sixty-two. History accounts that in 1993 a peace accord was signed, an Israeli leader was assassinated after 1993 (i.e., 1995), and of course the peace accord lasted seven years. The "anti-christ" is yet to come. As such, per your question, it might be a mistake to infer any tribulation or rapture event to this passage. |
