Subject: when will the rapture take place |
Bible Note: Hello, Contrary to popular belief the 70th week of Daniel 9:27 ended about 3.5 years after Jesus died. It states: "in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease". When Jesus died the sacrifice and oblation ceased. How can anyone take the last week of a 490 year prophecy which started in the 5th century b.c. and put it into the future? even with my own reasoning, which is nothing without the Holy Spirit, I can add time spans. The going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem was given by Artaxerxes around 450 b.c.and if you add 490 years onto that date you will come to right around the time Jesus was crucified. This is simple math. The commentaries, and footnotes in many study bibles are not inspired by God. Although they are sometimes good references. But, so many people rely on commentary that they don't study the Word of God for themselves and let the Holy Spirit reveal the truth. God Bless you Jeff W |
