AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks [of years] the Anointed One will be cut off [and denied His Messianic kingdom] and have nothing [and no one to defend Him], and the people of the [other] prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. [Is 53:7-9; Nah 1:8; Matt 24:6-14] |
Subject: Why the confusion over the 70th week? |
Bible Note: 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.
