Daniel's 70th Week

• The Jewish Prophet Daniel lived in exile in Babylon from around 600 BC. God had used the Babylonians to discipline wayward Israel by attacking them and sending Israel into Exile for 70 years.  Daniel is shown that a future Persian King named Artaxerxes would sign a decree and allow Israel to return to their land and rebuild Jerusalem after their years of exile. 

• From the signing of that decree 69 sevens of years would pass before Messiah Jesus would ride down the hill on a donkey and be crucified for the sins of the world. He would be "cut off".  Daniel 9:26

• The first 69 Weeks are passed and ended at the Cross of Christ 2000 years ago.

• We are at the end of 2000 years of the “Church Age” gap between years 69 and 70.

• The 70th WEEK will begin with the "SHOUT" sometime in the near future as Jesus receives the Scroll from the Father. See Revelation 5.

• Daniel is given this Prophesy. Thus it is referred to as "Daniel's 70th Week".

• This final WEEK will play out with the consecutive (possibly annual) breaking of the 7 Seals of the Scroll.

• The final WEEK will bring to a conclusion 6000 years of man's rebellion against God.

• The coming Antichrist will be a central figure in this last 7 years of this Age. He will be filled with Satan and empowered by him. He will seek to be worshiped as ‘god’.

• Jesus Christ will return in the Clouds with Cosmic Signs and gather his church to himself before dealing out retribution and wrath upon the Antichrist and all who worship him.  The Antichrist will face judgment. He only rules “until the end that is decreed is poured out on him” (Dan 9:27). 

Why 7 Years?  What’s up with that?

God exists outside of time and space. When He created this world He also created this “time space continuum”  we call our “endless” Universe.  He created it using a “Week” of 7 literal 24 hour days. (by the way the Hebrew word for seven is also their word for ‘week’).

 The Biblical account tells us that our Universe is only 6000 years old to date. The lie of ‘evolution’ seeks to mar that truth and remove God from His own creation using fictional "long ages". This also has effectivly hidden Gods pattern of the 7s.

From the Beginning God, who is the Beginning and the End, set the limits of and “designed” the Path of His redemptive work.

  Each “Day” has a set “Theme” as illustrated by each Creation Day's Work.  Why else did God Create light on Day 1 but waited till Day 4 to create the “Light holders”? Is there a deeper message in this? Yes. Why did He “only” create air on Day 2 dividing water from water? Why did He wait till Day 6 to create Man and Woman? Why did He “Rest” on Day 7? Was He tired? Surly NOT!  But He has a Message of Redemption for us to SEE and BELIEVE in all His creation work.

  And what is that message? 

It is:

1. I Am God- your Creator and King

2. I Am Holy- You are called to be Holy also. Holiness is 'separation' from sin and to God.

3. I Am your Life- and The source of all you need.

4. I Am Light- and you are made in My image, crown of My creation. You are Light and will rule with Me forevermore.

5. I Am the Head- You, together as one, are my Bride & My Body filled with My Spirit.

6. I Am Keeping you- and will Gather you to be with Me.

7. I Am your Bridegroom- and you are My Beloved and will Live with Me forever.
