a week in Daniel is a week of sevens =7 years the other 69 are also 7 years each week
"....UNTIL MESSIAH THE PRINCE, there shall be
7 WEEKS + 62 WEEKS". (Dan.9:25).
This is 69 WEEKS
or 69 "SEVENS" of YEARS
69 x 7 x 360 = 173,880 DAYS.
discovery that God keeps a holy record of earthly days based on a heavenly calendar of precisely twelve 30 day months and a holy perfect year of 360 days was sheer, God inspired, brilliance. This unlocked the mystery of Daniel's prophecy of the 70 weeks. As we saw in the article on
Biblical time and the Hebrew calendar time information is issued from the throne of God as years of 360 days, seasons of 90 days, and months of 30 days. This is the way prophetic information is passed down to earth from the the God of Israel. The final half of the 70th week is certainly laid out in Holy Scripture in terms of 360 day years. This, as we shall discover, is also the way the first 69 weeks of the seventy weeks of Daniel is reckoned.
In this regard we have a wonderful discovery to report. We can show Biblical proof of biblical/prophetic time being issued as years of 360.0000 days. Revelation 12 lays out the exile and nurturing of the woman, (God's covenant people), during the latter half of the final seven years of this age. That 3.5 biblical year period is the final half of the 70th week of Daniel. The Holy Spirit has issued the time of the exile of the woman to us using
two different time units.
Rev.12:6 gives the time-span to us as
1260 days. Eight verses later there is a restatement of the feeding/nurturing of the woman.
Rev.12:14 gives the time-span to us again. But this time it is given to us as a "time, times and a half a time" or
three and a half years. The 1260 days divided by 3.5 = 360 days.
This passage is a hidden key to Bible prophecy. It is, in effect, a "Rosetta Stone" for biblical/prophetic time. This passage of scripture in Revelation 12 neatly and simply unlocks for us the timing puzzle for the Seventy Weeks. If the 70th week of Daniel is reckoned as 7 years of 360 days then we must conclude that the first 69 weeks of the Seventy weeks of Daniel will be the same. They too must also be years of 360 days.
Let us turn now to focus in on those first 69 weeks of the seventy weeks of Daniel.
Let us take a look again at our scripture and in particular verse 25.
Daniel 9:25
"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times.
From this scripture we can deduce that the rebuilding of the walls and restoration of the sovereignty of Jerusalem would take 7 x 7 = 49 prophetic years. From that point on and for another 62 weeks or "sevens" or 7 x 62 = 434 biblical years the holy time-line would travel forward without pause until it came to a climactic moment in holy history. After the passage of 7 + 62 = 69 (weeks) or 69 x 7 = 483 biblical years Israel would see their Messiah. On this special day they could expect to see their Prince. Their Messiah would be at the gate.
And was He?
PALM SUNDAY.
DAY 173,880 MARKS THE TERMINUS OF THE 69 WEEKS.
Jesus/Yeshua had been among His people for three and a half years. He had ministered to them in many ways during that time. But on this day it would be different. As the Passover lambs were being inspected for sacrifice Israel's long promised Sacrifice Lamb was also being presented for inspection before the priests of Israel that year. On this day, (it was four days before the Passover), Jesus Christ/Yeshua Hamashiach would finally reveal Himself
politically to His people. On this very day, (and on no other), they would see their long awaited Messiah come in through the eastern gate of Jerusalem, riding upon a donkey.
That day was "Palm Sunday".
It was day 173,880, and Messiah was arriving right on time. It was the tenth day of the Nisan/Passover moon.
the opening of the seals starts with the four horsemen this is the beginning of the 7 years because the first horsemen is on the white horse setting forth to conquer, this is the appearance of the antichrist, the treaty with the AC is also 7 years in which he breaks the covenant half way, Israel is also going to be burning the weapons from the Gog Magog war for 7 years. there are 2520 days till Christ returns from the beginning of the tribulation to the end we know exactly when He will come it's 3.5 years from the MIDDLE of the tribulation 1260 days, but we do not know the day or the hour of His coming for His bride.
