I think the math works better when you use 70x70=4900 years..that puts you back to the time of Daniel, up through the present.At least, it works for me.
But what do I know, I'm just an ignorant peasant, and a da** building inspector.
What about Daniel's 70 weeks xzins?
Many people have heard of Daniel's 70 weeks, and know that they have to do with prophecy or related to the Book of Revelation. We will try and explain them a little further.
Each week is actually 7 years; 70 x 7 = 490 years. During this time the national "chastisement" must be fulfilled and the nation re-established in everlasting righteousness
(Daniel 9:24) "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make and 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 annoint the most Holy"
What we must remember is that Daniel was a prophet of the Jews, and the Jews only. His vision of the seventy weeks as mentioned earlier were not "continuous" there are gaps in time. The current gap seems to be at 2000 years right now.
As of now, November of 2000; 69 of those weeks have been fulfilled and we are waiting for the 70th week which we know deals with the tribulation and eventually Jesus' return.
Missy, Dan is correct. It would have been better not to post this. It has no merit.
For example, find in the bible where it SAYS that a generation is 40 years. Explain to me why the arbitrary date of 1967 was selected.
Again Dan is correct, opponents of premillennialism use this kind of post to discredit our biblical doctrine.
We must live in different solar systems. In this one, a "week" has never been 7 years.
