The 70 Week's Of Daniels Prophecy Have Ended

And he shall enter into a strong and firm covenant with the many for one week [seven years]. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and offering to cease [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and upon the wing or pinnacle of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate, until the full determined end is poured out on the desolator. Daniel 9:27

In Daniel’s prophecy the one week strong covenant was with the children of Israel, who were Daniel’ people. This strong covenant began for the Israelis when Jesus was baptized with the Holy Spirit. For the first 3 1/2 years after His baptism Jesus was used by the Holy Spirit to raise the dead, feed thousands from blessed table scraps, change the weather, heal the sick, teach the Truth, and cast out demons. Jesus did all of this only for the Jews, who are Daniel’s people. Jesus had not yet been sent to the Gentiles. Then right in the middle of the week He was crucified. At this time Jesus became the sacrifice to end all sacrifices. He eternally set us free from sacrificial offerings and He eternally made us righteous by His Blood being shed on the Cross.

The power of this strong covenant kept on going only for the children of Israel for another 3 1/2 years, this completed the seventieth week. The Gospel was only preached to the children of Israel during the 3 1/2 years following Jesus’ crucifixion. It was not until the Holy Spirit led Peter to Cornelius, Acts 10, and Paul was called on the road to Damascus, Acts 9:3, that it all ended for the Israelites. After this time the focus of the Gospel and the power of it went primarily to the Gentiles, people other than Daniel’s. After these two events, we read in the Bible how our Father began to work in Corinth, Galatia, Rome, Ephesus, Thessalonica, and Philippi. We no longer read about our Father moving powerfully in Israel. We actually read in many of Paul’s letters that the church back in Israel was in great torment and in Galatians Paul greatly questioned the leadership of the Jerusalem church, Galatians 2:6 &12.

The Truth is that there was no break in the seventy weeks of Daniel’s prophecy. The Truth is that there does not have to be a new Temple on the Temple Mount at the end of times for Jesus to return. There also doesn’t have to be a treaty between the anti-christ and the nation of Israel. There will be no more sacrifices to be ended, because Jesus ended the sacrifices at the Cross. And there is no pre-tribulation rapture. The seventy weeks of Daniel’s prophecy were fulfilled on the Cross and the one week strong covenant was completed 3 1/2 years after Jesus’ death and resurrection! Jesus came and died so that all who are called and chosen could become Jews through their new birth. A birth through the Holy Spirit. Daniel’s people, those who were Jews because of a natural birth ended when Jesus was crucified. The time of being a Jew by a natural birth no longer existed after the Cross.

The one who makes things desolate, satan, was cast out of Heaven when Jesus was raised from the dead, Revelation 12:5-8. Satan was cast down to the earth after Jesus was raised up and he will be here causing problems until Jesus returns and binds him for a thousand years. Everything that Daniel prophesied about the seventy weeks has occurred and been fulfilled.
