The Supposed Last Week Of The Earth, Part VII

Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city [Jerusalem], to finish and put an end to transgression, to seal up and make full the measure of sin, to purge away and make expiation and reconciliation for sin, to bring in everlasting righteousness (permanent moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) to seal up vision and prophecy and prophet, and to anoint a Holy of Holies. Daniel 9:24


Finally, Daniel was told by our Father in the prophecy of the seventy weeks that the Holy of Holies will be anointed.


For Christ (the Messiah) has not entered into a sanctuary made with [human] hands, only a copy and pattern and type of the true one, but [He has entered] into heaven itself, now to appear in the [very] presence of God on our behalf. Nor did He [enter into the heavenly sanctuary to] offer Himself regularly again and again, as the high priest enters the [Holy of] Holies every year with blood not his own. For then would He often have had to suffer [over and over again] since the foundation of the world. But as it now is, He has once for all at the consummation and close of the ages appeared to put away and abolish sin by His sacrifice [of Himself]. Hebrews 9:24-26


Therefore, brethren, since we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the blood of Jesus, Hebrews 10:19


Jesus has already anointed the True Holy of Holies in Heaven. He did it when He ascended to Heaven on the third day after His crucification, John 20:17. So all that Daniel was told would happen at the end of the seventy weeks has already happened and it all happened because of Jesus' success at the Cross. This is why Jesus yelled out when He was dying that it was finished, because He purged our sin and brought in everlasting righteousness for God's chosen ones!


When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, It is finished! And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. John 19:30
