Can the rebuilt earthly Jerusalem fulfill the prophecy of the seventy weeks?
Rebuilding Jerusalem needs Seventy Weeks, “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city”. After it has finished the rebuild, it shall “finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.”
Surely, the earthly Jerusalem couldn’t archive the above goals, such as finish the transgression, put an end of sin… bring everlasting righteousness… anoint the holy place. But the New Jerusalem come down from heaven can accomplish the above goals.
Therefore Seventy Weeks seems referring to rebuild the real Jerusalem, the real holy city the New Jerusalem of heaven.
