Well, since I'm passing by. I thought I would add this to your thread.
The missing piece of Daniel 9. The 70 weeks problem and puzzle.
Daniel 9 tells us the following.
21Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me
about the time of the evening oblation.
22And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
23At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the
matter, and consider the vision.
24Seventy 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.
25Know 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.
26And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation 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.
So is the Daniel 9 prophecy complete? No. And the problem is here in verse 24.
"and to make reconciliation for iniquity,".
Also the prophecy of the 70 weeks states the city and sanctuary would be destroyed after the 62 weeks had ran out. Verse 27 and that last week are
still future events. So the question is why and the answer is there still must be iniquity to reconcile. So how do you find it? I found it by
using the " let the bible solve the bible" process. Meaning the answer to your question is contained either in a different place in the book you're
in. Or. In a different book. And I found the answers in the book of Malachi and the book of Hosea. Along with a statement made by Jesus Christ in
Matthew 17.
0And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of
man suffer of them.
13Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
The problem with this statement is contained in Malachi 4.
5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse.
Herod in killing John the Baptist "broke" the first century Apocalypse. And in doing so triggered the curse. And what is the curse? That I found in
the book of Hosea and the "day of Jezreel" prophecy. Put simply the prophecy states that Israel and Judah were to face a long term top level
Leviticus 26 curse. And the most important detail of all? The prophecy has a timeline contained in Hosea 6 verses 1, 2, and 3.
1Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the
latter and former rain unto the earth.
However those days are in the presence of the Lord. And according to Psalms 90 and 2nd Peter 3-8 those are thousand year periods of time. The curse
is for 2000 years.
And this is the missing piece of the 70 weeks. 2000 years of iniquity needed to be discharged first. And this is the answer to the Daniel 9
puzzle.
