1 | Why the confusion over the 70th week? | Dan 9:26 | mark d seyler | 176726 | ||
There is a parenthetical passage inserted into the text between the 69th and the 70th weeks (Dan 9:26 describes events that happen after the 69th week, and before the 70th week), that tells us that these weeks are not contiguous. If certain events happen after the 69th week, yet before the 70th week, logically, the 70th week cannot follow immediately after the 69th. Love in Christ, mark |

2 | Why the confusion over the 70th week? | Dan 9:26 | Lemont | 176834 | ||
Mark: A parenthetical passage does not need to follow the chronological pattern of that which precedes and follows; thus the reason it's placed in parenthesis. It is supplemental information - in this case, that this temple that is to be restored will also later be destroyed. Do you agree that Jesus became the "Anointed One" not when he rode into Jerusalem on an ass (as some would say), but when Holy Spirit came upon him in the Jordan river at his baptism? If so, you are well on your way to understanding that the 70th week follows with Jesus being cutoff (cruxified) in the half of that week (3.5 years later). Jesus put the covenant in place for the Jews - that's who he was sent to and that's who the apostles continued to extend the kingdom wedding invitation to until Peter was shown (at the end of the 70th week, 3.5 years after Jesus' death) that now Gentiles like Cornelius were being invited. All three time markers have come and gone, fulfilled right on time! Now the tribulation - no one will know exactly when it will begin or end, as Jesus clearly stated. But his disciples will know the "season" and they will be the ones prepared to be taken along into what God has in store for those who love him and obey the good news about the Christ, Jesus.
