D)
DANIEL’S 70TH WEEK OF 7 YEARS
It is here that we turn to Daniel 9:25-27 for clarification on the time frames. The angel Gabriel revealed the following to Daniel:
"Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city:
“Know therefore and understand: From the time that the word went out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the time of an anointed prince, there shall be SEVEN WEEKS; and for SIXTY-TWO WEEKS it shall be built again with streets and moat, but in a troubled time. AFTER the sixty-two weeks, an ANOINTED ONE11shall be cut off and shall have nothing, and the people (troops) of the prince that is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its (his) end shall come with a flood, and unto the end there shall be war (or, unto the end of the war); desolations are decreed and determined."1. to finish the transgression;
2. to put an end to sin;
3. to atone for iniquity;
“And he shall confirm a covenant to (with) the many for ONE WEEK (7 years), and for half of the week (3 1/2 years) he shall make sacrifice and offering cease; and upon a wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate (or, in their place shall be an abomination that desolates), until the full determined end is poured out upon the desolator."12
Without going into the intricacies of all the years and the timing involved, we want to note only that in verse 24 the angel says, "Seventy weeks are decreed"; yet until the time of the Mashiach to be cut off are only 69 weeks. Many hold that the remaining "week" of seven years belongs to the end-time, as did the early church-fathers believe. But apart from what many believe, the Calendar of G-d clearly provides a time of interval: it is the time elapsing between Shavuotxand Rosh Hashanah, as already shown earlier. Hence it appears that this interval between the 69th and the 70th week places the latter at the end-time.
Based on the premise, that September 13, 1993, is the beginning of The Time of the End, we are looking for that 70th week, this one eventful, final “week” of seven years. As mentioned earlier, the number seventy is a combination of two of the perfect numbers, seven and ten. As compared with the sum of two numbers (such as seventeen), the product exhibits the significance of each in an intensified form.
Hence 7x10 signifies perfect spiritual order carried out with all spiritual power and significance. Both spirit and order are greatly emphasized. The significance of these numbers alone hint that this seventieth week will culminate in the battle between the Kingdom of G-d and that of Satan. It promises the ultimate triumph of the spiritual over the carnal, the establishment of G-d’s reign over that of human government.
September 13, 1993, is a first in Jewish history13, a most infamous violation of G-d’s unalterable covenant regarding the Land, and that after an almost two millennia exile. I felt greatly moved by the Holy Spirit to begin the “countdown” of the Time of the End of G-d’s Unchangeable Calendar with that date of post-exilic apostasy. If we consider, therefore, one year for each day, beginning with Rosh Hashanah 1993 (Feast of Trumpets), then we count ten years in fulfillment of the Ten Days of Awe, which brings us to Yom Kippur 2003. From Yom Kippur 2003 we count five years more in fulfillment of the five days following Yom Kippur until the festival of Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), which brings us to Sukkot 2008. These fifteen years would complete the Time of the End of G-d’s Calendar, and usher in the Messianic Reign.
Consequently, considering the 70th week constituting
the last 7 years of this age, we now count backwards from the year 2008.
We subtract seven years - which may include or have added unto the latter
days of the final days, namely the last 75 daysa
- which brings us into the year 2001. Somewhere around that time the Two
Witnesses should appear on the scene, because it is their appearance which
marks the beginning of the countdown of the last 7 years (and NOT the rebuilding
of the Temple).

Until then parts of the Promised Land were only taken away by force, in
punishment for apostasy. Never has any Jewish leader ever GIVEN
AWAY land, whether for peace or any other reason. After almost 2,000 years
of exile from the Land, and a mere 50 years restored to it as a sovereign
nation, Israel's leaders agreed on that date to the first "phase of stages":
The
Jericho-Gaza First Agreements!
The Palestinians' "phased plan of stages" is meant to gradually supplant the Jews from the whole land of Israel, slaughter them when sufficiently weakened, and take over their entire infrastructure (see page 28). It is these Jericho-Gaza First Agreements - the next day was Rosh Hashanah/the opening of the heavenly books for judgment - with whom the Lord said to begin the count-down. |
