70 AD marks as the half of “One Week”, that year was the earthly Jerusalem destroyed and the New Covenant officially has come into effect.
But why is the destruction of earthly Jerusalem related to the half of One Week?
As you know if a old system has to be replaced with the new system, you have to set a date to discount the old system and go live the new system. You can’t let both go live together, otherwise people would still using the old one. That’s why you must define a date to shut down the old one and let the new system go live to take effect.
Similarly, this is the reason why Father Jehovah God has to define and set a date to terminate the Old Covenant and made the New Covenant take effect officially. This important time was the year 70 AD, marks it as the half of One Seven.
Is that true? If people can still using the old system, that means the new system the better one unable to effectively play its role. Apostle Paul said:
5 They serve a copy and shadow (Earthly Jerusalem) of the heavenly things… 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares YHWH:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
13 In speaking of a new covenant (New Jerusalem), he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away (earthly Jerusalem).
Hebrew 8:5-13
“By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places (New Jerusalem) is not yet opened as long as the first section[earthly Jerusalem] is still standing” – Hebrew 9:8
That’s why the earthly Jerusalem has to destroy according to the “Holy Spirit” said, so that the way to the holy place – New Jerusalem can be opened to take effective of New Covenant. The above verses also indirectly prove that the New Jerusalem has already complete finished. That’s why the high Priest Jesus could entered into the New Jerusalem – holy place, offered “his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.”
“6 These preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties, …
9 (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement…
11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation – “New Jerusalem”)” – Hebrew 9:6-11
The last 3.5@7 of heavenly Jerusalem: The final symbolic “3.5” period began at AD 70 till to the End Day, 144000 Saints are being sealed. When the last Saint is sealed, the final “3.5” of One Week is complete, then rebuild the holy city New Jerusalem is completed and successfully! In this moment, we can’t pin the ending point, but it has passed about 2000 years till now. After that, the New Jerusalem will come down from the heaven…
Amen.
