DANIEL’S SEVENTY WEEKS PROPHECY

The Seventieth Week of Daniel – Overview

The “seventieth week” comes from Daniel 9:24–27, one of the most important prophecies in the Old Testament. It is often called Daniel’s Seventy Weeks prophecy.

The Big Picture (Daniel 9:24)

God reveals to Daniel that 70 “weeks” (literally “seventy sevens”) are determined for the Jewish people and Jerusalem to finish six great purposes:

  1. To finish the transgression
  2. To make an end of sins
  3. To make reconciliation for iniquity
  4. To bring in everlasting righteousness
  5. To seal up vision and prophecy
  6. To anoint the Most Holy (or Most Holy Place)

Almost all scholars agree that these “weeks” are weeks of years = 70 × 7 = 490 years.

How the 70 Weeks Are Divided

Daniel 9:25–27 divides the 490 years into three parts:

PeriodLengthWhat Happens
7 weeks (7 × 7)49 yearsRebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (walls, streets, in “troublesome times”)
62 weeks (62 × 7)434 yearsFrom the rebuilt city until “Messiah the Prince” appears
1 final week7 yearsThe 70th week – still future in most prophetic interpretations

Total so far: 7 + 62 = 69 weeks (483 years) are historically fulfilled.

The 69 Weeks (483 years) – Already Fulfilled

  • Starts with the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (most scholars use the decree of Artaxerxes in 445/444 BC – Nehemiah 2:1–8, or sometimes 457 BC).
  • After exactly 483 prophetic years (360-day biblical years), the Messiah is “cut off” (killed).
  • This lands precisely on the time Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and was later crucified (circa AD 30–33).

So the first 69 weeks are fulfilled in the First Coming of Christ.

The 70th Week – The Missing Seven Years

After the 69th week, two huge things happen before the 70th week begins:

  1. Messiah is cut off (crucified) and has nothing (rejected as king).
  2. The city and temple are destroyed (fulfilled in AD 70 by the Romans).

Then there is a giant gap (the Church Age we are in now), and the prophetic clock for Israel stops.

The 70th week (the final 7 years) is still future. It begins when a coming prince (the Antichrist) makes/confirms a covenant with “many” (Israel) for one “week” (7 years).

What Happens During the 70th Week (Daniel 9:27 + other passages)

This final 7-year period is described elsewhere as:

  • The Tribulation (Matthew 24)
  • The Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21).
  • The Rapture and the Wrath of God poured out with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements at the trumpet blast of the opening of the seventh seal at the start of the seventh year. The wrath of God is poured out for a period of one year and ten days, the same time as God poured out His wrath the first time with Noah’s flood. Why one year and ten days? The year before a Jubilee year is always one year and ten days (Revelation 6:16).

How the 70th Week Ends

At the very end of the 7 years:

  • Jesus returns visibly to earth (Second Coming)
  • The Antichrist and his armies are destroyed (Revelation 19:11–21; Zechariah 14)
  • Israel nationally repents and recognizes Jesus as Messiah (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11:25–29)
  • The six purposes of Daniel 9:24 are finally and completely fulfilled in the Millennium

In short, the seventieth week of Daniel is a coming seven-year period, dominated by the Antichrist, cantered on Israel and a rebuilt temple, the Rapture and Wrath of God and ends with the return of Christ and the establishment of His Millennial Kingdom.

THE END TIMES STRONG DELUSION IS UPON US

We’re all living through the biblical STRONG DELUSION of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 and most don’t even know it. This strong delusion by God is brought on at the time the lawless one (Antichrist) comes on the scene. What is the strong delusion allowed by God? Watch this amazing Nelson Walters video to discover what is deluding many in our churches today.

The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

THE MARK OF THE BEAST

What do the all-seeing eye on the dollar bill, Elon Musk, and Batman have to do with the Mark of the Beast? More than you could ever imagine. The Palantir company is establishing the infrastructure for the Mark of the Beast with Musk’s help. Watch this Nelson Walters video on how the system has links to ancient Egypt and the USA’s founding fathers.

Nelson has done his homework in discovering what the US government is doing to establish an expansive surveillance network through the company Palantir. Systems like Palantir can track every aspect of your life including your faith. Obedience to Christ will be seen as unwillingness to take the mark of the Beast.

What should we deduce from the fact that the billionaire and co-founder of the surveillance company Palantir, Peter Thiel, recently delivered a series of four lectures on behalf of ACTS 17 Collective about the Antichrist.

In China the government has already introduced a surveillance network to control its population so the US is in catch up and the rest of the world will follow. With AI the mark of the Beast is now possible. We are in the Biblical prophesied end times so God’s judgement is coming; are you prepared for the coming tribulation?

A SYSTEMATIC OF THE COMING ANTICHRIST

Arthur Pink, who was born in Nottingham, England, was a Bible teacher and pastor who authored 22 books, one of which is entitled The Antichrist, A Systematic of Satan’s Counterfeit Christ. He starts his work out by stating: “Across the varied scenes depicted by prophecy there falls the shadow of a figure at once commanding and ominous. Under many different names like the aliases of a criminal, his character and movements are set before us.”

The names in Scripture for the Antichrist’s character include: Antichrist (1 John 2:22), the man of sin (2 Thess. 2:3), the son of perdition (2 Thess. 2:3), the lawless one (2 Thess. 2:8), the beast (Rev. 11:7), the king of Babylon (Is. 14:4), the little horn (Dan. 7:8), the prince that shall come (Dan. 9:26), the willful king (Dan. 11:36), and the idol shepherd (Zech. 11:16-17). 

Pink narrates an interesting contrast between the Person of Jesus Christ and the Antichrist in his work that can be summarized as follows:

Powered by Holy Spirit (Luke 4:14).Powered by Satan (Rev.13:4).
Submits to God (John 5:30).Defies God (2 Thess. 2:4).

Numerous direct and indirect mentions of the Antichrist underscore the significance of this figure and the Church’s need to warn the world about the impending future führer. Pink ends his book with a good admonition for us all on the person of the Antichrist:  

“As we read prayerfully the teaching of Scripture concerning this Coming One, who shall embark upon the most awful course that has ever been run on their earth … and, as we are made aware of the unspeakably dreadful judgments which God will pour upon the world at that time, and the fearful doom which shall overtake the Antichrist and all his followers; our heart will be stirred within us, and we shall not hesitate to lift up our voices in warning. The world is in complete ignorance of what awaits it. The nations know not what is in store for them. Even Israel discern not the dark night which lies before them. But as God instructs us concerning what He is about to do, it is positively criminal to remain silent. The voices of all whom God has been pleased to enlighten ought to be raised in solemn and united testimony to the things which God has declared “must shortly come to pass.”

Warning the world about Antichrist is not about being sensational or spreading panic — it’s about opening people’s eyes to what Scripture says through its prophecies. In a culture numb to both truth and deception, let’s not be shy about stating what we believe. And in particular, when it comes to prophecy, we focus not so much on the evil that’s coming, but the King of kings who’s due to appear. 

Remember: “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10

LAST DAYS CHURCH

Today, many churches particularly the denominational churches have compromised with the world and replaced biblical fidelity with man-made innovation. They have lost their moorings. The answer is returning to Scripture, to Christ-cantered orthodoxy, and Spirit-led wisdom rooted in the historic faith with emphasis on the truth of Genesis 1-11 where the foundations of our faith are established.

It is unlikely that the denominational churches will change as the established hierarchy are entrenched and without a move of God these institutions will die slowly and painfully.

Sadly, very few churches see the role of the church as building disciples that will build more disciples as described in the Book of Acts. The growing churches are the persecuted churches in the most unlikely countries such as Iran and China.

GOD’S NATION ISRAEL IS AT THE CENTRE OF THE SPIRITUAL WAR RAGING IN THE HEAVENLIES

God alerted all of the O.T prophets to reveal the end of the story for the nation God established for His purposes. Even Moses who never entered the Promised Land told the Jews what their future would be before they went in. Sadly, because of disobedience God would scatter them amongst the nations of the Earth and Israel as a nation would no longer exist. Only, a miracle could rebirth Israel and that happened in 1948. All the end times prophecies of Jesus return to Earth at the exactly the same place where He left it, revolve around Him returning to save Israel and restore righteousness to the Earth. The following Scripture from Ezekiel is just one of many end times Scriptures revealing the amazing future ahead for the Jews.

Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land. And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned and will cleanse them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23

However, I need to point out that just as a time of tribulation and great tribulation is ahead for Christians the Scriptures reveal that for Jews it will be great tribulation.

Zechariah 13:8–9

“In all the land, declares the Lord, two-thirds will be cut off and perish; yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

WE ARE LIVING IN THE PROPHESIED END TIMES

Jonathan Cahn shares how in the 20th & 21st centuries, there has been the greatest falling away from the faith in human history, precisely as prophesied in the Bible for the years preceding Jesus’ return to restore righteousness. The technologies available today and the political events unfolding, particularly with the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, make the Mark of the Beast possible as never before.

How many people, even Christians, know what is next on God’s agenda for planet Earth? Until four years ago when God narrowed my focus to Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom, I, for one did not know how many Scriptures there are of Jesus ruling and reigning the nations of this Earth for 1000 years. My ministry is now built around the website http://www.millennialkingdom.net where you will find in depth information and resources on Jesus coming Millennium Kingdom.

God established Israel as His nation with the covenants He made with Abraham and reconfirmed with Isaac and Jacob. Moreover, all of Israel’s prophets beginning with Moses were told the end of the story when God would regather the Jews from the four corners of the Earth and that after a time of intense persecution by the Antichrist, Jesus would return to rescue Israel and set up His Millennial reign.

TIMELINE FOR THE LAST THREE AND A HALF YEARS

God allows the Antichrist 1260 Days. What is the Timeline of events in those challenging 42 months of the Great Tribulation? Why does God allow this? What are God’s purposes? This amazing Nelson Walters video tracks the Great Tribulation event by event. He reveals that God raptures His Saints before He pours out His wrath upon the earth with the Trumpet (Revelation 8:6) and Bowl judgments (Revelation 16:1). God protects his Saints from judgement, His wrath, but not from tribulation, which purifies His church. The seven seals and the seven churches reveal what God is doing in the last seven years (70 weeks of years – Daniel 9:24) before Jesus returns to earth to defeat the Antichrist at the battle of Armageddon (Revelation 19:11). It is at the sixth seal, at the end of the sixth year that the celestial signs appear in the heavens that precede the rapture (Rev. 6:12-14 and Joel 3:14). Likewise it is the sixth church, the church of Philadelphia that is raptured. It is evident from Scripture that the church of Laodicea is the church that is left behind to face the wrath of God.

CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA: “I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name… Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.Revelation 3:8,10

CHURCH OF LAODICEA: ” I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realising that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.Revelation 3:15-19. They still have the opportunity to repent, and I am sure many will. They will be great witnesses for Jesus Christ during the time God pours out His wrath upon the earth for one year and ten days. It is the same time, He poured out His wrath upon the earth with Noah’s Flood.

TURKEY IN BIBLICAL END TIMES PROPHECY

The Ottoman Empire, also known as the Turkish Empire, began more than 700 years ago, eventually controlling Southeast Europe as well as parts of West Asia, North Africa and the Middle East up to the early 20th century. After World War I, the Allied powers partitioned the Ottoman Empire, including what the British then called Palestine.

Dr. Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, Middle East Expert at the Moshe Dayan Centre for Middle Eastern and African Studies, says that December’s fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad opened the door for Erdogan, the president of Turkey to implement his goal of reviving an empire beginning with Syria. “We all witnessed that since the beginning of the Syrian civil war, the Turkish president did all he could to support the Syrian opposition. And he sees the current Syrian administration as his core ally. By providing some civilian services like paving the roads, railways, providing radar, and repairing airports and other facilities, Turkey is creating here a very important dependency from the Syrian side,” Yanarocak explained. He adds that Turkey is the only country declaring an intention to build up the new Syrian army, which the US has demanded that it destroy its chemical weapons and renounce terrorism.

On paper, Israel and Turkey have shared diplomatic relations since 1949, although Erdogan’s recent moves put that at risk. “The Turkish president, at the end of the Muslim Eid el-Fitr celebrations, he wished for the destruction of Israel. And for Israel, especially after October the 7th, you know, we cannot tolerate some future threats,” he said. Since the Assad regime fell, Israel has bombed weapons stockpiles and strategic military locations while establishing a buffer zone along its border with Syria.  Israel is concerned both with those who control Syria and with Turkey’s involvement. “They are already building governmental facilities to show sovereignty in the Syrian land as well. You see Turkey building post offices, Turkish post offices, banks, Turkish banks that are using Turkish currency, and schools,” Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel told CBN News. Haskel says Israel has two priorities regarding Syria: the safety of Israel and the protection of minorities, including the Christians, Druze, and Kurds. Then there’s Turkey.

“Turkey is a great concern in what is happening in Syria now, not just that we need to hear their declarations and their speeches of their leadership. And that’s really concerning – in particular, statements concerning this force in regard to Jerusalem. There are declarations which are a red line in regard to Israel, but it shows their intention,” Haskel said. Haskel adds that intention goes beyond Israel. “I think that after what had happened in Syria, they feel like they’re on a high horse. But that should be a great concern to all the neighbouring countries around,” she added.  President Trump recently offered to smooth out any difficulties between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Erdogan. “Any problem that you have with Turkey, I think I can solve, I mean as long as you are reasonable. You have to be reasonable. We have to be reasonable,” Trump said in a statement. Yanarocak says it’s also the first time the US could have access to Syria, which used to be under Russia’s thumb and is now being influenced by Turkey, a NATO member.

Biblical prophecy reveals in Daniel 8 that Turkey (the Goat and Sunni) puts down Iran (the Ram and Shia) in its attempt to re-establish a revived Ottoman Empire. However, we are also told that it is broken up into four, probably by the United Nations, which would not countenance the re-establishment of an Ottoman Empire that once threatened the world.

And the goat (Turkey) had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. He came to the ram (Iran) with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath... And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. Then the goat became exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.Daniel 8:5-8

We are also told the little horn (Antichrist) comes out of one of these Muslim nations. God has given us this information, so we should use it in our efforts to evangelise unbelievers.

Out of one of them came a little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the glorious land. It grew great, even to the host of heaven.” Daniel 8:9-10
