This paper discusses Daniel's prophecy of the 70 weeks. The scripture is found in the book of Daniel. The paper shows that an individual person "the Antichrist", will come on the seen, and he will exist in the end days (2000 years + after Christ's death). The paper also discusses the Jewish land, Israel's connection with this event and the blessings to God's chosen people the Jews. Jews were put aside until all the Gentiles come in prior to the coming of the Antichrist. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME: Prophecy of Jesus death ~28 AD, the temple destruction at 70 AD, then a large pause from 70 AD of 2000 + years to the seventh week of 7 years of End Times Events, Tribulation period, and the arrival of the Antichrist in the last times.

PURPOSE: Prophecy of Jesus death, revelation of when Jesus coming (which occurred about 750 year prior), and the antichrist with his destruction.

KEY VERSE:

Daniel 9:24-27 "Seventy 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. {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 weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. {26} And 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. {27} And 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."

WHO: God written mostly by Bible authors Daniel, Zechariah, Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul

TO WHOM: Elected Jews and Christians

WHAT: Bold and = pauses, first pause from Jesus death ~28 AD to 70 AD with the temple destruction then a large pause from 70 AD of 2000 + years to the seventh week of 7 years of Tribulation period at the End Times Events of antichrist in the last times.

WHY: Jesus the Messiah will die for mankind’s sins

Daniel 9:25-26"even in troublous times. {26} And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:" 434 years after the first 49 years it took to rebuild the city or 483 years total.

Matthew 21:4-5, 9-11 "All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, {5} Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. {9} And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. {10} And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? {11} And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee."

Romans 11:25-27 "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel {Temporary set aside}, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in {Then Israel will be restored}. {26} And so all Israel shall be saved {Daniel 9:24 promise to Israel}: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: {27} For this <is> my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins" See Jeremiah 31:34 above.

WAY: Jesus death and resurrection will complete God’s plan of reconciliation for mans sins and transgression and bring an everlasting righteousness to man through faith imputation by Jesus.

Daniel 9:24 "to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness," Jesus death ended sin, made reconciliation & imputed God's righteousness to those who believe.

Zechariah 12:9-10 "And it shall come to pass in that day, <that> I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. {At Jesus return.} {10} And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace {God gives them un-merited flavor.} and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced {Jesus cross marks}, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for <his> only <son>, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for <his> firstborn." Jesus will save all the Jewish people left in Jerusalem.

WHEREAS: The Antichrist will destroy the temple and the city of Jerusalem.

Daniel 9:26 "shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;"

The Jews never destroyed the temple or city. In 70 AD the Romans destroyed both the temple and city Jerusalem. A time gap of ~40 years occurs between Jesus death & 70 AD.

Luke 21:20 -24 "And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. {21} Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. {22} For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. {23} But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. {24} And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."

WHERE: In Jerusalem , Israel

Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."

Zechariah 13:1 "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness."

WHEN: 434 years after the first 49 years it took to rebuild the city or 483 years total. Jesus dies for the sins of His people.

Daniel 9:25 "even in troublous times. {26} And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:"

WHILE: God has an everlasting covenant with the Jewish people even as the antichrist stops the sacrifices in the temple.

Genesis 17:7 "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee." Jesus never confirmed a covenant for just 1 week since His are all everlasting covenants to His people the Jews.

Psalms 105:8-9 "He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word <which> he commanded to a thousand generations. {9} Which <covenant> he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;"

Daniel 9:27 "and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,"

I) DANIEL'S PROPHECY:

II) SEVENTY WEEKS:

Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks"

Weeks of years equals 7 days and 70 weeks equals 70 X 7 equals 490 days. Each day is weeks of years equal to 490 years since Judaism has weeks of days and weeks of years. The 70 weeks are also divided into 7 weeks, 69 weeks, and 1 week. Two pauses occurs after the 69 weeks of ~40 years & an undisclosed time period before the last week occurs.

Ezekiel 4:6 "And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year."

Daniel 9:24 continued "are determined upon thy people"

III) JEWISH PEOPLE:

See my paper: "Israel & Jewish People in God's Plan" JESUS JEWISHNESS, ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, & JEWS IN GOD'S PLAN; JEWS & GENTILE SALVATION for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Restoration of the Kingdom of God to Israel" ISRAEL IS GODS CALENDAR TO EVENTS. JEWS WILL BE RESTORED & SAVED for more information on this subject.

The 70 weeks prophecy is directed towards the Jewish people, Jewish land Israel, and Jewish city Jerusalem. Likewise the promises are also to the Jewish people.

Jeremiah 31:31-37 "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: {32} Not according to the covenant {Old Covenant} that I made with their fathers in the day <that> I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: {33} But this <shall be> the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. {34} And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. {What Jesus has done for Jewish believers.} {35} Thus saith the LORD {God's promise to never reject Israel.}, which giveth the sun for a light by day, <and> the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts <is> his name: {36} If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, <then> the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. {37} Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD" These ordinances are still true. Therefore, Jewish people are still God's people today.

John 4:22 "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." Jesus death & resurrection in the New Testament is made to Israel. Gentiles are later grafted in.

Romans 11:1-2, 11, 18 "I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid {No}. For I {Paul is writing that he is part of the chosen people.} also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, <of> the tribe of Benjamin. {2} God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, {11} I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid {No}: but <rather> through their fall salvation <is come> unto the Gentiles, {Israel is put aside temporary for the gentiles to come in.} for to provoke them to jealousy. {18} Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee." Israel is the root.

Daniel 9:24 continued "and upon thy holy city,"

IV) JERUSALEM:

At the time of the prophecy, the city Jerusalem and the temple were in ruins. The prophecy states that they will be rebuilt and later destroyed again. After an interlude the city and temple will again be rebuilt. The blood sacrifice will take place and a person, the Antichrist, will go into the temple and stop the sacrifices. He will commit abominations and desolate the temple.

Daniel 9:24 continued "to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness," Jesus death ended sin, made reconciliation & imputed God's righteousness to those who believe.

V) PROMISES ABOUT JESUS DEATH & RESURRECTION MADE FIRST TO ISRAEL:

This prophecy to Israel will be fulfilled at the close of the 70th week, a time of great blessing for Israel is prophesied. The church will already be raptured when this occurs.

See my paper: "Between Jesus' Death & Resurrection What did He Accomplish?" JESUS CONQUERED SATAN, TOOK HIS POWER & LOOSED PARADISE for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 13:1 "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness."

Daniel 9:24 continued "and to seal up the vision and prophecy,"

Daniel 12:8-9 "And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what <shall be> the end of these <things>? {9} And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words <are> closed up and sealed till the time of the end."

VI) PROPHETS SEARCHED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR PROPHECIES BUT COULD NOT:

1 Peter 1:11 "Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."

Daniel 9:24 continued "and to anoint the most Holy. {25} Know therefore and understand, <that> from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem"

See my paper: "Entry into the Holy of Holies" 3RD EXPERIENCE WITH THE FATHER, 1ST BORN-AGAIN WITH JESUS & 2ND WITH HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM for more information on this subject.

VII) COMMANDMENT TO RESTORE AND BUILD JERUSALEM:

There were three decrees given for the Jewish people to return to Judah with the first in 538 BC under Zerubbabel (Joshua as priest) to rebuild the temple (see Ezra 1-6). The second in 458 BC under Ezra to complete the rebuilding of the temple & restore the Jewish faith (see Ezra 7-10). The third return in 445 BC under Nehemiah to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and the city (see Nehemish 1-6) which starts Daniel's 9:24-27 seventy weeks prophecy. The Jewish community in Jerusalem is discussed in Nehemiah 7-13. This command occurred about 445 BC when Artaxerxes sent out the degree. The walls took a short period of time to complete. It took most of the 49 years to rebuilt the entire city. This is not the future Millennial temple which is discussed in Ezekial 41-46.

Nehemiah 2:8 "And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which <appertained> to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me."

Daniel 9:25 continued "unto the Messiah the Prince"

VII) MESSIAH THE PRINCE:

See my paper: "Jesus in the Old Testament" MANY OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES SHOWN THAT THE ANGEL OF THE LORD IS PRE-INCARNATE JESUS CHRIST. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Outline" JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Between Jesus' Death & Resurrection What did He Accomplish?" JESUS CONQUERED SATAN, TOOK HIS POWER & LOOSED PARADISE for more information on this subject.

Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, <who is> the faithful witness, <and> the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood," Messiah Jesus, about 28 AD, when He died on the cross for our sins.

Daniel 9:25 continued "<shall be> seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall," 483 years from the kings decree in 445 BC to ~ 28 AD

VIII) CITY REBUILT WITH ITS WALLS RESTORED:

Nehemiah 2:5-9 "And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it. {6} And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. {7} Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah; {8} And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. {9} Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me." King issues the decree in ~445 BC

Daniel 9:25 continued "even in troublous times. {26} And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:" 434 years after the first 49 years it took to rebuild the city or 483 years total.

IX) MESSIAH BE CUT OFF BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF-JESUS DIED FOR BELIEVER'S:

Matthew 16:21 "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day."

See my paper: "True Gospel for Salvation by the Imputed Righteousness of Jesus" GOSPEL SHOWN IN SCRIPTURES MUST INCLUDE THE REVELATION OF THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Imputed/Reckoned/Counted Righteousness of Jesus" TRANSFER OR THE IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS TO THE CHRISTIAN & CHRISTIAN'S SINS TO JESUS. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "What is a Born-Again & How to Become One" BORN-AGAIN PRINCIPLES ARE PRESENTED. THE STEPS TO RECEIVE JESUS ARE SHOWN. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Man's Greatest Need - Relationship With God" ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD CHARACTERISTICS & MAN'S PURPOSES. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Faith" FAITH PROMISES PRESENTED FOR EVERY ASPECT OF THE CHRISTIANS LIFE: SALVATION & HEALING. THE CONDITIONS. for more information on this subject.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Daniel 9:26 continued "and the people of the prince that shall come"

These are not the people of Jesus the prince (Jews), but a different prince who is from the Roman empire. The prince that shall come in 9:27 is the Antichrist from the revived Roman Empire. The "and" is the first pause after 69 weeks of about 40 years when the Romans destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the temple.

X) ROMAN EMPIRE IN 70 AD DESTROYED JERUSALEM & TEMPLE:

Daniel 9:26 continued "shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;"

The Jews never destroyed the temple or city. In 70 AD the Romans destroyed both the temple and city Jerusalem. A time gap of ~40 years occurs between Jesus death & 70 AD.

Daniel 9:26 continued "and the end thereof <shall be> with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined."

The Romans killed about a million Jews and scattered the Jewish nation for about 1900 years until Israel was restored in 1948.

See my paper: "Restoration of the Kingdom of God to Israel" ISRAEL IS GODS CALENDAR TO EVENTS. JEWS WILL BE RESTORED & SAVED for more information on this subject.

Daniel 9:27 "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:"

XI) HE: THE ANTICHRIST - A MAN OF THE LATTER DAYS - END TIMES:

A second time gap exists here between the 69th AND 70th Week. The gaps are both between Jesus' death of ~28 AD & 70 AD when the Romans destroyed the temple and city. It is also between Jesus' death and 2000 + years that the next temple is built. Then the Antichrist, of the revived Roman Empire, shall confirm the covenant with Israel of sacrifices in the temple & brake it three & half years later.

See my paper: "End Times Events - Day of the Lord" ESCHATOLOGY. GOD'S PLAN FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS END DAYS, INCLUDING MANY RAPTURES, & JESUS 2ND COMING for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Revelation-Key-Elements" REVELATION-KEY-ELEMENTS: QUICKLY HELP EXPLAIN THE BOOK OF REVELATION BY CHAPTERS AND HIGHLIGHTS for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Revelation - Overview" REVELATION CHAPTER EVENTS WITH PICTURES – 7 CHURCHES (2, 3); 144,000 (7, 14); 3 SETS OF SEVEN PLAGUES: [SEALS (6, 8); TRUMPETS (8-9, 11); VIALS (16)]; 2 WITNESSES (11); ALL RAPTURES {12); SATAN (12, 13, 17); ANTI-CHRIST (13, 17); FALSE PROPHET (13,17); HARLOT (17) for more information on this subject.

2 Thessalonians 2:2-4 "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. {3} Let no man deceive you by any means: for <that day shall not come>, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; {4} Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God."

Who is this man? He will exist. If he existed already then why has Jesus not returned as the scriptures plainly states? He is spoken of as a real individual person and not an idea.

See my paper: "Antichrist" SHOWN ARE THE TITLES, CHARACTERISTICS, & FUTURE EVENTS OF THIS PERSON for more information on this subject.

Daniel 7:21-22 "I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; {22} Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom."

2 Thessalonians 2:6-9 "And now ye know what withholdeth that he {Antichrist} might be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of iniquity doth already work {Antichrist spirit}: only he {Church} who now letteth <will let>, until he {Church raptured} be taken out of the way. {8} And then shall that Wicked be revealed, {antichrist} whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: {9} <Even him> {Antichrist}, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders," He will do signs & wonders. The mystery of iniquity exists even now, but this is not the Antichrist. Paul says that he will come. It is an Antichrist spirit. John says the same thing that there is an Antichrist person also.

1 John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many {Spirit} Antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time."

1 John 4:3 "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that <spirit> of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." Spirit, not "the man"

Revelation 13:1 "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." Beast equals antichrist. He comes from the sea of people. He controls the ten member restored Roman Empire.

Revelation 13:3-4 "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast {the man Antichrist}. {4} And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who <is> like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" Him = the beast = the Antichrist man.

Revelation 13:8 "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Worship the antichrist.

Revelation 13:15-18 "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. {16} And {Antichrist} he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: {17} And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. {18} Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: {Antichrist} for it is the number of a man {Antichrist = man}; and his number <is> Six hundred threescore <and> six."

John says the Antichrist is an individual & the number of his name is 666. Many people have found objects with that number. They are not a man. They could be spirits of antichrist. Not the antichrist himself.

XII) MANY: JEWISH PEOPLE: 1 WEEK:

See my paper: "Israel & Jewish People in God's Plan" JESUS JEWISHNESS, ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, & JEWS IN GOD'S PLAN; JEWS & GENTILE SALVATION for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Multiple Raptures" THE BIBLE SHOWS HOW GOD HAS RAPTURE MANY PEOPLE FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END TIMES for more information on this subject.

Psalms 105:8-9 "He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word <which> he commanded to a thousand generations. {9} Which <covenant> he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;"

Daniel 9:27 continued "and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,"

XIII) BLOOD SACRIFICES ARE FOR ISRAEL ONLY:

Jesus never stopped the sacrifice & oblation for Israel. They continued until the Romans destroyed the temple in 70 AD. When Paul reports to the elders his success of gentile conversions, they report to him the success of Jewish believer's zealous for the law:

See my paper: "Christians Are Not Under Law, But Jews Can Culturally Keep God's Commandments" COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN TO JEWS NOT GENTILES; CHRISTIANS ARE NOT UNDER LAW; BUT JEWISH BELIEVERS MAY CONTINUE KEEPING LAW NOT FOR SALVATION for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Feasts of the Lord" GOD'S ORDAINED HOLIDAYS FOR ISRAEL TO KEEP FOREVER. THEIR SPIRITUAL MEANINGS ARE SHOWN for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 14:16 "And it shall come to pass, <that> every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles." Sacrifice @ Feast of Tabernacle

Acts 21:20-26 "And when they heard <it>, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: {21} And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise <their> children, neither to walk after the customs. {22} What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. {23} Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; {24} Them take, and purify thyself with them {PAUL/LAW}, and be at charges with them, that they may shave <their> heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but <that> thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. {25} As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written <and> concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from <things> offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. {26} Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them." During the millennium sacrifices will be done again.

Daniel 9:27 continued "and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make <it> desolate, even until the consummation, & that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

XIV) ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION:

See my paper: "Judgments of Believer & Unbeliever" PRESENTED ARE SEVERAL JUDGMENTS FOR THE SAVED AND UN-SAVED for more information on this subject.

Daniel 11:31 "And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily <sacrifice>, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate."

Daniel 12:11 "And from the time <that> the daily <sacrifice> shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, <there shall be> a thousand two hundred and ninety days."

Matthew 24:14-15 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. {15} When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)" Jesus said that Daniel 9:27 - Abomination he, antichrist, shall make it desolate will occur at the end days. Hence, a 69-70 gap exists.
