"70th"
“70th”
Blessings folk!
We saw yesterday that we are to know and discern that a period of time would pass from an issuing of a decree to rebuild Jerusalem…
Daniel 9:25-26
25 So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.
26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.
We had seen previously that 70 weeks were determined for Daniel’s people and the holy city.
Daniel 9:24
24 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.
70-69=1
There is a “week” somewhere else...a 7-year period.
One truth for today.
This “week” is the 70th Week of Daniel.
The last week.
It is a seven year period yet to come.
Often the week is called “The Tribulation Period”.
This is totally wrong.
The great tribulation does occur within the 7-year period, but the 7 years are not “The Tribulation Period” or “The Great Tribulation”.
People are simply sloppy in studying the Word.
Then, they apply man-made terms and treat them as if they were from the Lord.
Stick with what the Word says, not just what man says.
This requires each of us to know the Word.
Much is taught about the “end times”.
More is inferred and talked about.
Opinions are available by the thousands.
But, what sayeth the Lord?
