Daniel 9 :24 "Seventy weeks (70 Periods of 7) are determined upon the people and upon thy holy
city (Jerusalem), 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."
(God’s Covenant / Promise)
Jesus' 1st Coming:
Vs
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 (69)
weeks; or 69
periods of 7’s in other versions:
the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times."
Jesus'
1st Coming Timing & Date Calculations:
According to Daniel 9 :24-25 a period of 69 7-year periods, or 483 Prophetic Years
(69x7) would pass until the coming of the Messiah. Biblical prophetic years are 360
days long.
Nissan 1, 445 BC
To Sivan 6, 30 AD:
(Sivan is the 3rd month of the “Biblical Calendar”)
483 prophetic years = 476.06766 Gregorian
calendar years
360 day Prophetic Year:
42 months as equivalent
to 3.5 years or 1260 days.
See also Daniel
12:7-12 and Rev. 11:2-3, 12:6 and 13:5
69
periods of 7 years; 69 x 7 = 483 prophetic years
483
years x 360 days per prophetic
year = 173,880 prophetic calendar days.
"King Artaxerxes decreed in the month of Nissan, the order to restore and rebuild Jerusalem" (Neh. 2:1-8). This
may have been on the 1st day of the Jewish month of Nissan in 445 BC.
173,880 prophetic calendar days later, the gift of
the Holy Spirit was given on Sivan 6, 30 A.D. as prophesied.
A.D.
dates adjusted to our Gregorian calendar of 365.2422 days per astronomical / solar year.* 173,880 / 365.2422 = 476.06766 Gregorian calendar
years; 445 + 31 = 476; includes year zero.
Sivan
6 is the day on which the Feast of Weeks; aka Pentecost is celebrated! It is also the month the Law was given to Moses that brings forth
the knowledge of sin. Now the Spirit of life has been given!
==================================
JESUS' 2ND COMING PROPHECY
Vs. 24:
"Seventy weeks (70 Periods of 7) are determined upon the people and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem), 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."
(Completed
at Rev. 16:17-21, 17:1 & Ezk. 38:18, 39:6,8,11-12, 21)
Jesus' 1st Coming:
Vs 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 69 periods of 7’s."
Jesus'
2nd Coming:
Vs. 27: "And He
shall CONFIRM* the covenant for one week (aka 1 period of 7): and in the midst of the week He
shall cause the sacrifice and the offerings to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations He shall
make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."
Vs. 27: (Amplified) "AND He (God) shall CONFIRM* (strengthen) the (His) Covenant / Promise (of 70 periods of 7
- upon
the people & the city - Jerusalem) with many for one week (1 period of 7)." (Only God can confirm the last 70th
7 of vs 24) (69 -7s of vs 25 related to Jesus' 1st coming)
and in the midst
of the week (7yr. period) He (God)
shall cause (allow) the sacrifice
** (sacrifices of praise; i.e. burnt offerings - not blood sacrifices for sin) to cease
(thru His permissive Will, allowing the antichrist’s activities to cause "Tribulation" *** during Seals 1-6; Rev. 6 & Mth. 24:5-29-31), and for the overspreading of abominations
he (antichrist) shall make it desolate, even until the consummation ("Day of the Lord & His Wrath" i.e. End of the Age), and that determined (God’s wrath
upon breaking the 7th seal, and opening the Scroll listing the 7 trumpets and 7 bowls of God's WRATH) shall be poured
upon the desolate ( i.e. the unrepentant during "tribulation").
For further details see: End of the Age
This all, of course, goes back to include the original hermeneutical position of defining "Tribulation'
& "Wrath" as not being synonymous!
If hermeneutic principles are correctly applied, "Tribulation"
and "Wrath" are not synonymous.
The rapture comes after tribulation, but before the “Day of the Lord and His wrath”,as
clearly stated by Jesus Himself in Matt. 24:5-31 and as supported by many other Scriptures such as Rev. 6 and Joel 2:31.
**Sacrifices
Note: Antichrist's
efforts are to stop "Praise & Commitment to God" sacrificial offerings, NOT Blood Sacrifices, already atoned
for by Jesus.
2 of 4
Sacrificial Offerings Are Praise Offerings to God, Not Sin:
Burnt Offerings: Represents complete
submission to God's will.
Ezek. 46:1-2, 12 See also Lev.
1:3-5 (i.e. Jesus)
Peace Offering: Expresses gratitude
to God & has nothing to do with sin.
Lev. 7:11-12, 15
Sin
Offering:
Sin through ignorance of the law - an offense to God, Lev. 4:2, 13
Trespass
or Guilt Offering:
Leviticus
chapters 5 & 6
===============================
*CONFRM:
Regarding Daniel 9 :27:
“He
shall confirm the covenant” (of 70 periods of
7).
Confirm is from the Hebrew word “higbir” (Hiph'il form of the verb Gabar) meaning “to confirm (a covenant), to strengthen”.
See:
Hebrew / Greek Lexicon and Hebrew / Greek / English Interlinear Bible
However, the New American Standard (NASB) incorrectly translates “higbir” to the English verb: “to make” (“karat / poieo” in Hebrew / Greek)
rather; than “to confirm” or “to strengthen”.
The
NASB infers there was NO pre-existing covenant “to confirm” or “to strengthen”.
This incorrect translation by the NASB literally changes Scripture, to it’s detriment.
"To
make" is NOT synonymous with "to confirm".
NASB translation “to
make” is used heretically to infer the antichrist “makes” a “covenant with the people and the city of Jerusalem”, and consequently,
causes major eschatological interpretation consequences!
This is satan’s counterfeit
at it’s best, distorting God’s prophecy of His second coming! Unfortunately, Pre-Tribulation
theology uses this translation in justifying the antichrist “making” a covenant with Israel at
the beginning of the 7-year ‘tribulation’ period.
It is imperative that
a correct translation ‘to confirm’ or ‘to strengthen’ a covenant be used to show the importance
of God’s continued covenant of the full “70
periods of 7s’ with “the people and the CITY OF JERUSALEM”.
Note the ‘confirmation’
or ‘strengthening’ of the entire covenant includes the ability to rebuild
“Jerusalem”, and applies equally to both periods (69 7’s & the last 70th 7).
Therefore the ability to rebuild Jerusalem is a key “sign” related to both the 1st
& 2nd prophecies related to Jesus' coming!
==================
*** Tribulation: Reference Matt. 24:8,21,29
and Rev. 6:9 7:9,14 Peirasmos, Peirasai: Tribulation / Trials / Temptations /
to Test, to Try, to Tempt.
Thlipsis: Tribulation / Distress / Affliction / Persecution
“Tribulation”
/ ‘Peirasmos’ & ‘Thlipsis
/ Thlupsis’ described in Matthew 24:5 – 29 is also concurrently described by John in Revelation chapter 6 for the first 6 seals.
The Expository
Dictionary of Biblical Words by W.E. Vine combined commentary on 2 Peter 2:9 and Rev. 3:10-12 ‘Peirasmos’
states:
"The verb is used of testing as permitted by God, and of the believer as one who should
be in the realization of his own helplessness and his dependence upon God.
"The
noun is used of trials with beneficial purposes and effect, also of trials
or temptations Divinely permitted or sent, i.e. 2 Peter 2:9 “to
prove” or “to try” and in Rev. 3:10 'trial or temptation'."
Wrath: Reference Rev. 6:17
Ebrah / Orges
(Hebrew / Greek):
Wrath
/ Anger / Indignation / Vengeance
Wrath translated from Hebrew word “Ebrah” (Orges in Greek); Strong’s #5678 connotes the “overflowing fury of God”; and is only
used in conjunction with "Day of the Lord" wrath after the 7
th seal in Rev. 8 is broken, and the scroll of God’s ‘wrath’ is opened. “Wrath” of God / Jesus, listed in Revelation Chapters 8 –16, is then poured out in Judgment upon the unrepentant.

Tribulation to Rapture to Wrath
Day of the Lord & His Wrath
Pre Wrath Rapture
ESCHATOLOGY SUMMARY
Jesus' 2nd
coming Prophecy Fulfilled:
“Jerusalem Shall Be Trodden Down, UNTIL
The Times Of The Gentiles Be Fulfilled.” Luke 21:24
1948
Israel became a nation + 70 years to the completion of all things: 1948
+ 70 = 2019
- marks completion at Jubilee.
In the 1967
war, Israel regained control of Jerusalem. 1967
+ 50 years to Jubilee
= 2018.
A valid “sign” of the “end of the age” of Jesus 2nd coming for the following reason:
Daniel 9:24
"Seventy weeks (70
Periods of 7) are
determined upon the people and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem)."
God’s ‘covenant’ with both, the people and the “holy city”
(Jerusalem) could not have been confirmed without the existence of both Israel, AND Israel’s control of Jerusalem!
This ALSO correlates with the following
3 sequences of events:
First:
1967 + 40
year generation + 10 years “Days of Repentance / Affliction” from the Feast of Trumpets
to the Feast of Atonement; Culminating
at the Year of Jubilee on the 50th year.
Secondly: 1967+50 to Jubilee (7x7+1=50)
7
Sabbatical 7-year periods, including the last 7-year Tribulational period (aka 7 periods of 7 + 1 (Jubilee) culminating at
the Year of Jubilee in the 50th year
Thirdly: it correlates with
the period of time between the Feast of Passover aka the Crucifixion, and the Feast of Weeks aka Pentecost:
7-weeks of 7-days plus one day; (7 x 7 + 1 = 50).

Additional Information See: “Last Days Prophetic Data & Calendar”.
====================================================
B.C. & A.D. Dates
Arithmatic
Calculation & Verifications:
Nissan 1, 445 B.C.
To Sivan 6, 30 A.D.
483 prophetic years = 476 Gregorian calendar years
69
periods of 7 years;
69 x 7 = 483 prophetic years
483 years x 360 days per prophetic year =
173,880 prophetic calendar days.
173,880 days divided by 354 days per lunar (Biblical Calendar) year = 491.18644 lunar years.
354 lunar (Biblical Calendar) days per lunar year
x .18644 lunar years = 66 lunar days.
Note: 66 lunar days divided by 29.53057396 lunar days per month = 2 lunar months plus 7 days; a.k.a.
Pentecost / Feast of Weeks on the 6th
day of Sivan; the 6th day of the 3rd month.
Therefore: 491.18644 lunar years (354 x 491 + 66 lunar days)
= 173,880 days:
Nissan 1, 445 BC +
173,880 days = Sivan 6, 30 A.D.
(A.D.
dates adjusted to our Gregorian calendar of 365.2422 days per astronomical year.* 173,880 / 365.2422 = 476 Gregorian calendar years; 445 + 31 =
476; includes year zero)
On Nissan 1, 445 B.C. Artexerexes decreed * to rebuild Jerusalem.
Add 491 lunar years, 2 lunar months plus 7 days = Sivan 6
(Feast of Weeks / Pentecost).
*The
exact date of King Artexerexes' decree is unknown, other than the month of Nissan, as stated in Neh. 2:1-8. Therefore, his order could have been anywhere in the month, other than the 1st day.
Also on the 3rd month, the law was given to
Moses; that brings forth the knowledge of sin. Now the Spirit of life is given!
Gregorian
Calendar Vs. Lunar (Biblical) Calendar:
483
Prophetic years = 476 Gregorian years = 491 Lunar calendar
years:
173,880 days from
Nissan 1 in 445 BC to Sivan 6 in 30 A.D.
445 + 31 = 476 Gregorian years; includes year zero
Lunar Calendar: 491. 18644 years
(173,880 divided by 354 days per year)
.18644 = 66
days at 354 days per lunar year;
2 mo. 7 days @ 29.5 days/mo.
i.e. Sivan
6, 30 AD; The 6th day of the 3rd mo of Sivan;
aka
the
Feast of Weeks / Pentecost.
Gregorian Calendar: 476.
06766 years
(173,880
divided by 365.2422 days per year)
.06766 = 24.7 days at 365.2422
days per year;
i.e.
the 25th
day of Nissan
This
date has no applicable relevance. Although some incorrectly fallen into the trap
of trying to justify the 10th or 14th day of Nissan (Triumphant Entry or Passover), as the end date of March 30 or April 3rd (30 A.D.).
By subtracting these 25 days to be March 5th or 9th (445 BC). This is obviously wrong for the following
reason: Subtracting 25 days from Nissan 10 or 14, would result
in the previous month of Adar
15
or 19. However, King Artexerexes decreed in Neh. 2:1, 8 to ‘rebuild Jerusalem’ in “the month of Nissan”, not Adar!
The difference
of 66
lunar days versus 24.7 Gregorian days is due to the fact that the Gregorian calendar is
365.2422 days per year, and the Lunar Calendar year is 354 days per year. Given that the Biblical Calendar is a 354 day year,
it becomes the most accurate method to apply. Because the Biblical feasts calendar is a lunar calendar, these 66 days are then added onto Nissan
1 to obtain the end date of Sivan 6; i.e. the Feast of Weeks, aka Pentecost.
Nissan 10: Jesus' triumphant entry
Nissan 14: Passover / Crucifixion
(Plus 7 weeks of 7 days + 1
day = 50; aka Pentecost)
Nissan 16: Jesus' Resurrection
Sivan
6: Pentecost (Nissan 1 plus 66 days)
=====================================================================
CALENDARING OF
FEASTS METHODOLOGY:
A
Biblical year is a Lunar (moon) Calendar 354 days long. The Biblical Calendar for feasts is initiated by the first
sliver of a new moon, and marks the beginning of a month, which is always a sabbath, and the 1st day of the month
(even when a leap month is added); thereby determining when the feasts will be held per Leviticus Chapter 23. Consequently, the
feasts always fall on the same day of the week every year.
See “Feasts Calendars”. Note: The Biblical calendar year spans the Gregorian calendar years from the
first month of Nissan; in approximately April or May.
In contrast, the Jewish
Calendar year averages 363.3 days per year; which is comprised of 12 lunar months with 29.530573496 astronomical
days per month; for a 354-day year, except on leap years where an extra month is added in to adjust to solar reckoning:
To approximately adjust to a solar calendar, a leap month called Adar II comprised of 29 days, is added on:
the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th and 17th year based upon a
19 year cycle. This calendar is often (incorrectly) called a “lunar /solar” calendar. Unfortunately
it is neither, or a correct hybrid.
In contrast, a Solar Calendar is 365.2422 days
per year;
compared to today’s Gregorian
Calendar of 30.43685 astronomical days, per month, average. Note: the Gregorian calendar
replaced the earlier, less accurate Julian calendar.
Jewish Calendaring of Feasts today: Today’s Jewish calendars superimpose
a 354-day lunar calendar (Including a leap month Adar II) onto the Gregorian calendar of 365.2422 days per year.
Consequently, the feasts then fall on a different day each year, rather than on the same day when based on
a lunar calendar; as God had ordained in Leviticus 23.
Christian Calendaring of
Feasts, such
as the “Feast of Passover”; aka Crucifixion of Jesus”, or
the “Feast of First Fruits”; aka “Easter, or the “Feast of Weeks”; aka Pentecost: The Christian calendaring of these feasts is also inaccurate. This is
due to the overlaying of a lunar calendar, on top of a modern Gregorian calendar, then purposefully adjusting the feasts to
fall on predetermined days; i.e. the Crucifixion on Passover
to be on a Friday.
In contrast to
this is the Biblical Prophetic Calendar of 360 days
per year. See Rev. 11:2-3, 12:6, 13:5 and Dan. 12:7-12, which indicate 42 months as equivalent to 3.5 years
or 1260 days; 360 days per year (also used by Babylonians). This is the calendar used in prophecy
of Jesus 1st coming in Daniel 9:24-26, then reconciled with the other calendaring
methods mentioned.
=========================================================
Prophetically When 1 DAY =
1 YEAR Or 1,000 YEARS:
1 DAY = 1 YEAR Prophetically, when applied to man:
Prophecy is related to man’s redemption,
such as Daniel 9:24-27 69 7’s of days being 483 prophetic years, or
the 10 Days (years) of Awe / Repentance between the Feast of Trumpets &
Feast of Atonement, or the corresponding 10 days of tribulation in Rev. 2:8-11
"Seventy weeks (KJV; 70 periods of 7,
NIV) are determined ..." Daniel 9:24
"I
have appointed you each day for a year." Ezek. 4:6
"After
the number of the days in which you searched the land, forty days, each day
for a year …"
Num. 14:34
"For the day
of the LORD'S vengeance,
the year of atonement
for the controversy of Zion." Isa. 34:8
"To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort
all that mourn .." Isa. 61:2
"For the day of vengeance in Mine heart, and the year of My redeemed is come." Is.
63:4
1
DAY = 1,000 YEARS
prophetically, when applied to God:
I.e.
Jubilee / Millennial Kingdom:
“One day with the Lord
is as a thousand years, and a thousand
years as one day . . . we, according too His promise, look for new heavens and
a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness." 2 Peter 3:8 & 13
Just as 6 days of the week were meant for man
and the 7th day (Sabbath) was meant for honoring God, so also are
the 6 Feasts related to man’s redemption and the 7th Feast of Tabernacles
related to an eternity with God. This follows the logic of when 1 day is prophetically speaking of 1 year
(e.g. Ezek. 4:6) when
referring to man’s redemption, or when 1 day is prophetically speaking of 1,000 years (2 Peter 3:8 & 13) when referring
to God as with Jubilee / Millennial Kingdom.
Note the Year
of Jubilee / Millennial Kingdom starts on the 11th day of the 7th month (the day following
the Feast of Atonement / Judgment on the 10th day). The Feast of Tabernacles is not until the 15th day. Therefore, it could possibly
be another 4,000 years after the Millennial Kingdom to the Feast of Tabernacles.
This possibility can be seen in Rev.
20 which states that satan will be released after 1,000 years of Millennial Kingdom, then a Gog / Magog battle
will occur, then the "Great White Throne Judgment", and finally completed with the Feast of Tabernacles i.e. a "New Heavens & New Earth".
The relationship of the feasts then to God’s
ordained Numerical Sequences:
7
day week ending on a Sabbath
7 months of 7 feasts ending on the ultimate
Sabbath, the Feast of Tabernacles
7 years culminating
in a Sabbatical year
7
Sabbatical years of 7 years culminating at the Year of Jubilee
7 weeks of 7 days to the Feast of Weeks / Shavuot
