70th week of Daniel

I like to question everything. Not out of rebellion, but because I want to learn. I like deep discussions as it gives everyone a chance to share their understanding.

The 70th week of Daniel has been sitting a bit "skew" in my throat for quite some time. My thinking is, why would this one prophecy be broken up in such a way; 69 weeks + 1 week 2000 years later. Are we taught this due to "traditions of men" and now hold onto it as it is truth?

We are told that it refers to the anti-Christ, but if the verse is read through different glasses then it looks more like it could be speaking of Yeshua ending the sacrifices...

If we calculate the initial 69 weeks then if comes to when Yeshua started His ministry. The standard belief is that He ministered for 3.5 years and was then crucified. At His crucifixion the veil in the temple was ripped; top down. Therefore sacrifices should strictly have stopped at that point.

I can't find a marker 3.5 years after Yeshua's crucifixion to complete the 70th week if this interpretation of the prophecy is correct.

What are your thoughts on this?

Two extra thoughts just came up:

1. Human sacrifice is an abomonation for Father. That is why Baal worship is no sinful. If Yeshua was sacrificed on the cross then is can be understood as the abomonation which made the daily sacrifice desolate...

2. I have historically always seen Yeshua as gentle and meek and only ascribe those kinds of verses to Him. I have come to realize that that is not the picture of when He overturned the moneychangers' tables in the temple. Nor when He returns and makes war against the nations. Why then read into the 70th week that it must be the anti-Christ who stops the daily and not Yeshua?

Good points. I once read something on the 70 weeks, I believe by William Struse. It made sense back then, but I havent read it in years. I used to get emails as follow ups from him, but those didnt make sense, so I think I blocked them. I should go back and read the Daniel passage again. I recently read part of Daniel, but I dont think I read all of it. Thank you for bringing this up!

I just re-read Daniel throught the weeks prophecy. It looks like it is still a time to come. The temple does need to be rebuilt currently. Once the command to rebuild it (a third time) goes out, the sixty two weeks will pass until the Prince comes. Then there will be half a week before the sacrifices are stopped. I suppose the rest of the seven weeks come after that. Its really doesnt mention them and how the play into it all. I was reading out of the Berean Study Bible.

It seems to me that liberal families have no trouble keeping their kids liberal.

But conservative families on the other hand, totally different story.

Why? Take a wild guess. What does the liberal family and the conservative family have in common?

Thought For Today: Thursday September 28:

Remember! Our infinate Adonai Elohiym give all of Himself to each of His children. He does not distribute Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others.

Abba, in the Name of Yeshua, many believers, who are in prayer groups, TikTok platforms, internet websites -- discussing, praying and worshipping Your Word, desire that our prayers avail much. Individuals who are (mutually dependant on one another to learn Your will), having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us. We, who with unveiled faces all reflects Your glory, are being transformed into Your likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from You, Who are the Spirit. Abba, we realize that You know what we have need of before we ask, and that we are not all growing in the same manner or on the same time schedule, but we are growing in the grace and knowledge of our Adonai and Saviour, Yeshua Moshiach. We give each other space to grow, for we are becoming a patient people, bearing with one another and making allowances because we love one another. We acknowledge that we do not have dominion over each other, and we refuse to Adonai it over one another’s faith; but we are fellow labourers to promote one another’s joy, because it is by faith that we stand firm. In Yeshua’ Name, amen.

If you look at the blatant evil and corruption in the country and wonder how we got here:

The government has been raising America's children for decades.
