The final week of Daniel is called the "Tribulation period." It is split into two periods of 3 1/2 years each. This will begin with the anti-Christ confirming a covenant with Israel. Dan. 9:27 says, "He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven'. In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple, he will set up an abomination that causes desolation until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
Several things are happening here as signs to anyone who has wisdom and understands scripture. The first being, whoever "confirms" a covenant with Israel, as a world leader, for seven years, will be marked out as the anti-Christ. But he will not be viewed as that. He will be viewed as a man of peace since he is bringing peace to Israel with it's surrounding neighbors. This will be a false peace.
Second, this "confirmation" of the covenant also signals the beginning of the 7 year Tribulation. Daniel says that "in the middle of the seven" the anti-Christ will break his covenant with Israel signaling the start of the Great Tribulation, which is the last 3 1/2 years. He will not only stop all sacrifices and offerings at the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, but he will also set up an idol or statue of himself in a part of the temple. This is called the Abomination that causes Desolation. I will talk about this in another post.
Dan. 12:11 says, "From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days." That's 3 1/2 years. The book of Revelation chronicles what will happen during this seven year period.
Dan. 9:24 gives us what God's objectives are within the 7 year period of the Tribulation. We are given six restoration goals that must be completed to fulfill that time.
1. finish transgression
2. put an end to sin
3. to atone for wickedness
4. to bring in everlasting righteousness
5. to seal up vision and prophecy
6. to anoint the most holy
The 70th week is a time of tribulation for Israel and the end of the Gentile world domination. There is too much to post here on what the details are but you can find in the book of Revelation those things that will come to pass in the final days.
Remember Israel is God's prophetic time piece. The 70 weeks of Daniel is specifically laid out for the restoration of Israel back to God. It is dependent on the Jews dwelling in their land. The last 2000 years up to 1948 Israel was not a nation. Now that they are back in the land, I believe we are closer than ever to the Rapture of the church and finally the second coming of Christ.
