NASB | Daniel 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 9:27 "And he will enter into a binding and irrevocable covenant with the many for one week (seven years), but in the middle of the week he will stop the sacrifice and grain offering [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until the complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who causes the horror." |
Bible Question:
Hi, my questions today refers to the 7 years of tribulation that will take place in the future. From the source of the series of movies called the "left behind series". They say he will confirm a convenant with many for 7 years. Now when I actually open up the bible and look into this reference and look up daniel 9:27. This is what the "new rivesed standard version" bible says: "He shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall make a sacrifice and offering cease; and in their place shall be an abomination that desolates, until the decreed end is poured out upon the desolator." Why does the bible say "one week" and other sources say 7 years of tribulation? Correct me if I'm wrong and which is accurate? Thank you. |
Bible Answer: From what I read out of the KJV bible. It is days not years. Revelation 9:24 ***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. Revelation 9:25 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 Revelation 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there **** a thousand two hundred and threescore (days).***** |
