The Supposed Last Week Of The Earth, Part III

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

Daniel was also told by our Father that by the end of the seventy weeks sin would be purged.

For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. Romans 8:3-4

And in accordance with this will [of God], we have been made holy (consecrated and sanctified) through the offering made once for all of the body of Jesus Christ (the Anointed One). Hebrews 10:10

The Truth is that Jesus has purged our sins. Jesus overcame sin, He subdued sin, He deprived sin of all of its power and because He did, the righteousness of the Law is now fully met in us, Romans 8:4. Jesus came and He did away with the law of sin and death for His Bride.

For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death. Romans 8:2

And such some of you were [once]. But you were washed clean (purified by a complete atonement for sin and made free from the guilt of sin), and you were consecrated (set apart, hallowed), and you were justified [pronounced righteous, by trusting] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God. Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power. 1 Corinthians 6:11-12

We are shown repeatedly in the New Testament that Jesus has fulfilled what Daniel was told would happen, sin has been purged from us and the reconciliation has been made for us and in Christ we now have eternal righteousness. Our righteousness is not achieved from our own works or our own obedience, our righteousness is now achieved for us from our Father’s grace. Jesus came and freely gave us eternal righteousness. We didn’t earn righteousness on our own and we don’t keep righteousness on our own. What Daniel was shown has completely been fulfilled through Jesus. The problem with the teaching that the seventy weeks are not yet fulfilled, is that it confesses that we have not yet been made righteous, but the glorious Truth is that in Christ we have been. To believe otherwise openly confesses that Jesus did not succeed on the Cross. It places the responsibility of achieving salvation on our flesh and our abilities and not on the sacrifice of Christ.
