Daniel 9:24-27 gives us an account of the time period between the first coming of Christ and the coming of the Anti-Christ:
"Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgressions, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens' and sixty two 'sevens'. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty-two 'sevens', the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood; War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. He will confirm a covenant 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."
Randall Price said, "Daniels prophecy of the seventy weeks is in the portion of his book that reveals God's divine program for the kingdoms of the world. Finding that Jeremiah had prophesied that Israel's exile would last for seventy years (Jer. 25:11, 12; 29:10), Daniel interceded for Israel in order to realize the fulfillment of the prophecy with the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple (Dan. 9:3-19). The archangel Gabriel was sent to explain to Daniel the 'seventy weeks' of years (a total of 490 years), the time necessary to compensate for Israel's violation of her sabbatical law (2 Chron. 36:21)."
Daniel's time table is broken up into three parts:
9:24 - 70 x 7 = 490 years
1. 9:25 - 7 x 7 = 49 years - first period
2. 9:26 - 62 x 7 = 434 years - second period
3. 9:27 - 1 week = 7 years - This is the time of "Jacob's trouble" and will take place after the rapture of the church when God will again deal with Israel as a nation. - third period
I will explain more this week with some other posts. So keep coming back.
