Seventy Weeks

Seventy Weeks

This is about the mystery of “Seventy Weeks” of Daniel chapter 9. This article will reveal this mystery. Can you imagine that it has not ended, but will fulfill and complete soon? Can you imagine that it’s not only related to earthly Jerusalem but the heavenly? Let’s see, it is very exciting…

Seventy Weeks
Seventy Weeks

Prayer for Jerusalem


Daniel 9:1,2 says, “In the first year(522 BC) of Darius the son of Ahasuerus… … I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before “the end of the desolations of Jerusalem“, namely, seventy years”.


Daniel knew the 70 years the end of desolation of Jerusalem was near…


I prayed to YHWH my God and made confession, saying, “O YHWH, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules…


16 O YHWH, according to all your righteous acts, let your anger and your wrath turn away from your city Jerusalem, your holy hill

17 Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O YHWH, make your face to shine upon your sanctuary, which is desolate…


While Daniel was praying, presenting pleas for the Jerusalem, angel Gabriel came in swift flight, he said “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding. 23 At the beginning of your pleas for mercy, “a word” “went out”, and I have come to “tell” it to you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore consider “the word” and understand the vision.”


He continued… 24 Seventy weeks are decreed… 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the “word” to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be “seven weeks“. Then for “sixty-two weeks” it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.


26 And after the “sixty-two weeks“, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end(end of Seventy Weeks) shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for “one week“, and for “half of the week” he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.


The purpose of Seventy-Weeks vision


What is the purpose of Seventy Weeks? What is it about?


Daniel was asking for “the end of the desolations of Jerusalem” and asking God’s face shine upon Jerusalem, then the “Seventy Weeks” was announced. Therefore the purpose of “Seventy Weeks” was about the rebuild of “Jerusalem“. Jerusalem has to rebuild, after the rebuild finished the following goals will be achieved :


  • to 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


Explanations of “word” and “Seventy Weeks”


What does it mean of this prophecy? When did it start? What does the “word” mean? When did the “word” go out? The “word” is the key point of “Seventy Weeks”, and it is sealed until the End Day.


Explanation 1


There are many explanations of this prophecy. One is: the “word” means it came from Artaxerxes I(BC 445), and then Jerusalem was started to restore and rebuild. But I have to say “restore and build Jerusalem” had started long time ago before Artaxerxes I, so “Seventy Weeks” must be counted before BC 445.


And the last “one Week” is so complicated and confusing. One explanation is after the 69 weeks, there would be a long unknown period(someone define it the “Church period”) to separate the “69 Weeks” and the “one Week”, this unknown period is about 2000 years till to now. After this unknown period, the last “one Seven” will be occurred, it will be “the End Day”.


But there is no biblical verse to support the last “one Week” is separated with the “69 Weeks”, otherwise how can God says is “Seventy Weeks”? For it has separated for a long time(about 2000 years). If so, God can directly says it has 2 period, “69 Weeks” and “one Week” , isn’t it much more clear? No need to say “Seventy Weeks” for it is not a continuous timeline. Actually, we can say the 2000 years “unknown church period” is the last 3.5 period of “One Week”, we will explain it later.


Moreover Gabriel said the “prince” would make a strong covenant with many within ‘one Week’, and then “destroy the city and the sanctuary” in the “half of Week“, “put an end to sacrifice and offering”. In AD 70 was the year of Jerusalem destroyed, so it indicated that AD 70 was the “half of one week”. That means the last “Week” was already occurred and has passed over a half.


Who can prove AD 70 was the half of “One Week”? Yes, he is Lord Jesus, what did he say?


Matthew 24:15,16

“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand – “half of One Week“), 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains….”


On the other hand, as you known Jerusalem had already destroyed in AD70, how can the “abominations” destroy it again? Does God need to “rebuild” Jerusalem before “One Seven” started, and let it destroy at the coming of “the half of 7″(3.5 years)? And then after the end of 7, “rebuild” Jerusalem again once more? During the 7 years short period, Jerusalem has to rebuild and destroy and then rebuild again, is it strangeness and does not make sense?


Therefore the above evidences prove that the last “one week” has begun already, because the half of “one week” was occurred in AD 70 already, not the End Day. Also Jesus has proved AD 70 was the half of One Week, for the abomination has occurred and destroyed Jerusalem. Obviously “Seventy Weeks” is a continuously timeline, no an unknown period to separate 69th week and the 70th week. So this explanation does not match exactly the prophecy of “Seventy Weeks”.


Explanation 2


Another explanation is “one Week” was the 7 years from AD30 to AD36. In AD30 Jesus (an anointed one) baptized(Anointed by Holy Spirit) and preach God’s kingdom three and half years, and then killed by Jewish in AD 33. The explanation is : AD33 is the half(3.5) of the “one Week”. Before the night he died, Jesus made covenant of God’s Kingdom with apostles. “He(Jesus) shall make a strong covenant with many for one week”, the “Seventy Weeks” ended at AD 36 officially.


But I want to say, it “did not match” the destroyed time of Jerusalem also, because it was destroyed in AD 70 not AD 33.


Another reason is this prophecy has not fulfilled completely in AD36, the 6 goals should be achieved completely when the “Seventy Weeks” is ended. Even today we are still waiting “to 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”.


So it proves that AD 33 was not the half of “one Week”, and also AD 36 cannot be the end of the “Seventy Weeks”. The end time of “Seventy Weeks” should be much longer.


Meaning of the “Word”


Firstly, when did the vision “Seventy Weeks” begin? When did the “word” go out? Whom was the “word” come from?


Actually people say there were 3 times of the command(“word”) issued for rebuilding Jerusalem. They were Cyrus in 538 BC, Darius I in 522 BC and Artaxerxes in 445 BC. Then it makes us confused, for God did not tell us the “word” come from which king, then how can we confirm the beginning time of “Seventy Weeks”? This is the key point for the starting time of the “Seventy Weeks”. If the “word” came from one of those kings, God should mentioned in the Bible, as same as God told us Babylon was destroyed by the king “Cyrus”, but no verse can proves from which king directly.


“word” – From God


Firstly, let’s see whom was the “word” come from…


Gabriel said :


At the beginning… – at the beginning while Daniel was praying…


a “word went out – While Daniel was praying, a “word” has come out


“I have come to tell it(word) to you” – The word has already come out, that’s why Gabriel has to come, he has to tell Daniel those “word


“know therefore and understand that from the going out of the “word”…” (while Daniel was praying(BC522) for Jerusalem) the “word” has come out, and Gabriel was assigned to tell Daniel knowing those “word“)


Therefore Gabriel said clearly at the beginning while Daniel prayer, “word” has “come out already“, and the word was come out from “YHWH God“. That’s the purpose why Gabriel come, he has to “tell” Daniel about God’s “word/plan” the Seventy Weeks to rebuild Jerusalem.


So what does it mean? It means Gabriel has to tell Daniel knowing and understanding the “word”, “Seventy Weeks” starts from now on. So his meaning is : God’s “word” “has come out”, I have to tell “it“(word) to you. From “now” on, there has “Seventy Weeks”…


So “the word” does not mean of Cyrus, Darius I or Artaxerxes, but Bible directly and clearly says the “word” was outgoing from “God“. And we are sure that it was come from God, not from other not mentioned king. Isaiah 44:26,28 also proved that “word” was come from God…


Isaiah 44:26,28

26 …who says of Jerusalem , ‘She shall be inhabited,’ -> (YHWH)
    and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built,
    and I(YHWH) will raise up their ruins’;

28 who says of Cyrus , ‘He is my shepherd,
    and he shall fulfill all my purpose’; -> (YHWH)
saying of Jerusalem , ‘She shall be built,’ -> (God’s word)
    and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’”

Swift Flight


One interesting question, why did angel Gabriel come in swift flight while Daniel was praying? Why not wait the next day after his prayer, or next month to “tell him” this vision? It seems very rush and there is no other instance like this in the Bible.


Please imagine when do you rush running? One situation is : you have to come hurry at the appointed time before the flight has to take off(start). So that’s why angel Gabriel need to come like flight swift, because this vision timeline has to start now, God’s word has come out and the “Seventy Weeks” has to start now. So Gabriel need to flight swift to tell Daniel about this.


Another interesting of this vision is about the “rebuild” of Jerusalem. Rebuild Jerusalem(God’s living place) is really a great project, how come the decreed(“word”) will come from the king of Gentile? Does the Most High need a gentile king to approve the rebuilding of His living place? It doesn’t make sense, right? But if the decreed(word) is come from God himself, then it will be reasonable, right?


Now let’s see when did the rebuild of Jerusalem begin…


God’s Word come out – Start Rebuild Jerusalem


After God’s “word” came out at BC 522, the sanctuary was begun to restore and rebuild. There are 2 witnesses can prove that, they are prophet Haggai and Zechariah. Let’s read what they said. After God’s “word” had come out at BC 522(first year of Darius), then Jerusalem started to rebuild next year…


Haggai 1:1,8,14,15 says,

In the “Second year“(BC 521) of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month…

Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says YHWH.

14 And YHWH stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel… And they came and worked on the house of YHWH of hosts, their God,

15 on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the “Second year” of Darius


Haggai 2:18

Consider from this “day” onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of YHWH’s temple was laid, consider…


Haggai told us consider this “day” – the foundation of temple was laid. He proved that restoration of Jehovah God’s temple had been started after the first year of Darius(BC 522), and the foundation was laid in the next year ninth month 24, that date marked the rebuilding Jerusalem project was officially launched.


Another witness the prophet Zechariah says,


Zechariah1:7,16

On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the “second year“(BC 521) of Darius16 Therefore, thus says YHWH… “my house” shall be built in it, declares YHWH of hosts, and the measuring line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.


Zechariah 8:9

Thus says YHWH of hosts: “Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets who were present on the day that the foundation of the house of YHWH of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.”


Zechariah also proved that after 2 months of the foundation, it started measuring the Jerusalem. So the 2 witnesses proved that after God’s “word” was come out in the first year of Darius, and then the restore and rebuild Jerusalem started, and also the foundation had been laid in the “second year” of Darius. So it proves that “Seventy Sevens” was started in BC 522.


Seventy Weeks – Symbolic period


But there is a critical and confused problem, that is from God’s word come out(BC 522) to the Anointed one appeared(AD 30) total is 551 years(no zero year), this period has exceeded over 490 years(70 x 7), and this vision has not fulfilled completely even today. Then what does it mean? Has God’s prophecy failed? What does it tell us?


It tells us Seventy Sevens “must not be” the real number, not real 490 years(70 x 7 years). If it is not the real number(years), then it must be the “symbolic“. Is that true? Do we need to surprise about that? No, because most of God’s prophecy are symbolic like Daniel’s dream and Revelation. Just like the 6 creation days are also the symbolic period not the real 24 hours a day.

The above outcome 490 years is based on people’s wrong assumption. The wrong assumption is : They assume 7 means 7 years so Seventy Weeks will be 490 years, but God’s word did not say Seven mean 7 days or 7 weeks or 7 years. Just like the 6 creation days, for each “day” is the symbolic period to achieve its’ specific goal. Therefore Seventy Weeks should means the symbolic period to achieve the goals of God.


Yes after Jerusalem finished rebuild, the six goals will be achieved. Are they achieved already? No, therefore we are sure that this prophecy is not yet completed, the rebuild of Jerusalem has not yet completed too.


Then what does it really mean of “Seventy Sevens” or “Seventy Weeks”? Let’s see… This vision is very interesting but also confusing, may God send Angel Gabriel give us insight and understanding it.


Seventy Weeks – 2 parts


First of all, “Seventy Weeks” is combined with 2 parts.


The first part is the symbolized 69@7 period divided into 2 portions,

Seven Weeks” (7@7) and “Sixty-Two Weeks” (62@7) ;


The second part is the symbolized One Week(1@7) period, and this “7” is also divided into 2 portions,

3.5 and 3.5(half and half).


Seven Weeks


The first part is the symbolized “Sixty-nine Weeks“, this period shall “restore and build Jerusalem”.


Firstly was the “Seven Weeks” symbolic period. Why God defined this period “Seven Weeks”? Maybe restored and rebuilt Jerusalem on earth used 49 years, so God use this key point (7@7) to symbolize it.


Sixty-Two Weeks


And then was “Sixty-two Weeks”(62@7), Jerusalem “shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time”, and “waited for” an anointed one to appear. After finished the rebuild of Jerusalem with squares and moat, they have to wait for the anointed one to appear. Let’s see how they rebuilt in this period…


Nehemiah 2:1,5 “In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes(about BC 445)…And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ graves, that I may rebuild it.”


Nehemiah 4:16-18 “From that day on, half of my servants worked on construction, and half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail. And the leaders stood behind the whole house of Judah, 17 who were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were loaded in such a way that each labored on the work with one hand and held his weapon with the other. 18 And each of the builders had his sword strapped at his side while he built. The man who sounded the trumpet was beside me.”


At that time(Sixty-Two Weeks) was really “a troubled time“, half of them worked on construction and half of them held the spears, shields…


So they used total “Sixty-Nine Weeks” to restore rebuilt Jerusalem and wait for the anointed. Again, this period does not mean the real 483 years(69 x 7), it is only used to symbolic the plan of God. So God used (7 x 7) and (62 x 7) these 2 key points to symbolic this period.


The Anointed One


After “Sixty-nine Weeks”, the anointed(Messiah) appeared. Who is the anointed?


John 4:25,26 says ‘The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ).” 26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he”’. Yes, Jesus whom is the anointed one(Messiah).


Luke 3:21-23 says “…when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form(“anointed him”), like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son(“a Prince“); with you I am well pleased.” 23 Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age…”.


Holy Spirit anointed Jesus when he got baptized at 30 years old, at that time “an anointed one appear” was fulfilled. So “AD 30” was the end of the symbolized “Sixty-nine Weeks” period, also the beginning of “One Week” symbolized period.


The anointed one “shall be cut off and shall have nothing”. After the three and half(3.5) years ministry work, Jesus was killed by Jew. Matthew 27:50,51 says “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom”.


Angel Gabriel said “he shall make a strong covenant with many” within one week symbolized period, and “he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering” in half of “One Week“.


A strong “Covenant”


Firstly, what is a strong “covenant”?


Luke 4:43 says, but he(Jesus) said to them, “I must preach the good news of the “kingdom of God” to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this “purpose“.


Luke 22:20 says And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the “new covenant” in my blood” .


So this strong covenant is “the new covenant” about the God’s kingdom, and Jesus was sent for this purpose.


Who did Jesus make a covenant with in “One Week” symbolized period? He made covenant with many including apostles. This “covenant” is…


Revelation 3:21 says “The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne”.


Yes, this is a strong and great covenant for whom to be the kings and sit next to Jesus and God. They are called the holy people(Saints). How many holy people would Jesus made covenant with? Revelation 7:4 says “And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel”.


Jesus started to make the “New Covenant” with many before he sacrificed. If someone says “One Week” is not yet come, then it means the “New Covenant” has not yet made by Jesus. If someone says “One Week” was ended in AD36, then it means the “New Covenant” was completed in AD36 too.


Therefore make “(New) covenant with many” was effective from AD33 till to the End Day, until the last of 144000 saints is sealed, until Jesus makes the new covenant with the last one, then the “New Covenant” is sealed and completed.


Half of One Week


What is used to symbolic the first half(3.5) of “One Week”?


We can say the 3.5 years of Jesus witnessing period is used to symbolic the “first half” of one week. Why did Jesus not preach 3, 5, 10 or even 20 years but “3.5” years? So it tells us the “3.5” has a special meaning, related to the “anointed one” period(a half of one week), so God particularly uses it to symbolic the first half of “one week”.


When Jesus finished the 3.5 years ministry work and was died, he has achieved the goal of first half of “One Week”. And “the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom” symbolic Jerusalem and sanctuary will be destroyed in the “half of one Week“, and the actual year was AD70.


So the actual year of the first part of “One Week”(3.5) began at AD 30 Jesus(the anointed) appeared, and ended at AD70(Jerusalem destroyed). AD 70 was the “half” of One Week, it indicated the end of the first half(3.5) of “One Week”, and also the beginning of another half(3.5).


So from AD 30 to AD 70 the 40 years was the actual timeline of the first half(3.5) period.


The last half of Week


And then… Seventy Weeks was completed… finished? But how about the another half of “One Week”(3.5)? Does anything will happen in another half “Week”? What is the actual timeline? How long of it? What is used to symbolic? It seems this vision is missing the “last piece” of puzzle.


But Angel Gabriel didn’t provide more information about another half of “one week”. Then how could we know it? It is very interesting and exciting, we are waiting long long time for God to reveal us.


Now, maybe it’s the time for God to reveal it, for our time is the final period of the End Day. Let us ask some questions : What is “a time, times, and half a time”? What is “1,260 days”? What is “forty-two months”? Are they related to another half of Week(3.5)?


Let’s see…


Daniel 12:6,7,11

And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, “How “long” shall it be till the “end” of these wonders?


…he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for “a time, times, and half a time“, and that when the shattering of the power of the “holy people” comes to “an end” all these things would be finished.


11 And “from the time” that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up…(from AD 70 the regular burnt was taken away, the period of “a time, times, and half a time” begins)


So from AD 70 till to the End Day, there will be a symbolized period of “a time, times, and half a time“. It is related to “holy people“, when the power of holy people is “ended“, all will be “finished“, 3.5 symbolized period will be finished too. It’s related to <Seven Churches and Seven Stars> and <Two Witnesses>.


Where do the holy people(saints) come from?


Holy people -saints


Revelation 12:1,2 says “And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth”.


Yes, they are born of the heavenly woman and they are the God’s son. This woman had a very long pregnancy and delivery period, Revelation12:6,14 says “and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days. 14 … to the place where she is to be nourished for a time, and times, and half a time“.


They are born of the heavenly woman during the symbolized “1260 days“(3.5) period. The pregnancy and delivery was started from AD 70 till to the End Day, about 2000 years now. How many holy people? Revelation tells us they are the rest of woman’s offspring(144000), they keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. They are whom Jesus make a “strong covenant” with – Kingdom of God.


Forty-Two months


John gives us another proof as corroboration to prove that the last half of “one Week” started from AD 70.


Revelation 11:2 says, “but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months“.


When did the Jerusalem being trampled? It happened in AD 70, forty-two months equal to 3.5 years, it is also symbolic the last half of “One Seven” period. So forty-two months symbolized period was started from AD 70 till to the End Day. Therefore “a time, times, and half a time”, “1260 days”, “forty-two months” all are the last half(3.5) of “One Seven” symbolized period.


“a time, times, and half a time” – Two churches / Two witnesses


Those holy people have work to do, that is the ministry work and hold the testimony of Jesus. How long of their witnessing period?


Revelation 11:3,4 says, “And I will grant authority to my “two witnesses“, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth”.


Same as Jesus’ witnessing 3.5 years, two witnesses witnessing 3.5 years(1260 days), it is used to symbolic the last half of “One Seven”. Two witnesses are two lampstands, and two lampstands are two churches, It’s related to <two witnesses> and <Seven Churches and Seven Stars> in Revelation. This is the mystery of “a time, times, and half a time” symbolized period, please read it.


All “1260 days”, “a time, times, half a time” and “42 months” are equal to three and half years(3.5), this 3.5 is used to symbolic the last half of “One Week”. So if we combine it to the first half (symbolized by Jesus 3.5 years ministry), then the last “One Week” will be completed, just like putting in the last piece of a puzzle, then the total “Seventy Weeks” will be finished.


But why do we combine the holy people period(1260 days, 3.5 years) into the last part of “Seventy Weeks” together? Is there any relationship with the “Seventy Weeks”?


New Jerusalem – God’s living place


1 Corinthians 3:16,17

“Do you not know that you(saints) are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you(saints) are that temple.”


Yes, because this vision is about “your people(Holy people) and your holy city(Jerusalem)“. What will be the New Jerusalem consist of? Yes, it consists of Jesus and the holy people(144000 saints), they are the half of New Jerusalem, so this part must be included into the “Seventy Weeks” vision. Apostle Paul also know the holy people(saints) represent the God’s temple. When this prophecy is fulfilled, Jerusalem will be given a “new name”, the name is “New Jerusalem“.


Isaiah 62:1,2


For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
    and “for Jerusalem’s sake” I will not be quiet,
until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
    and her salvation as a burning torch.
The nations shall see your righteousness,
    and all the kings your glory,
and you shall be called by a “new name“(New Jerusalem)
    that the mouth of YHWH will give.


Revelation 21:2 says, “And I saw the holy city, “New Jerusalem“, coming down out of heaven from God…”.


Rev. 21:10-12,14, “And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the “holy city Jerusalem” coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed.14 And the wall of the city had “twelve foundations“, and on them were the twelve names of the “twelve apostles” of the Lamb.”


Yes, the holy city new Jerusalem was formed by 144000 holy people(saints). When the symbolized 3.5 (1260 days) period is ended, “Seventy Weeks” vision will be fulfilled completely. Please read <The Mystery of Kingdom of God> <144000 and a great multitude> and <New Jerusalem>.


When the “Seventy Weeks” is ended, this will be the God’s Day(the End Day) and, “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“, will be finished. The New Jerusalem will come down from heaven… Thank you Father, Glory and Praise Father and Lord Jesus. Amen.


The End of “One Week” – Seal until the time of the End


What is the actual timeline of the last “One Week”? The first 3.5 was 40 years from AD 30 to AD 70.


But how long about the another 3.5? We know it started from AD70 and till to the End Day, lasted about 2000 years now. When will it end? Matthew 24:36 says, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only”. Actually no one knows the end date of the symbolized 3.5 period except Father, so we can’t point out on the timeline table.


Although we don’t know the end date exactly but we are sure if “this mission” is finished, then the last 3.5 of “one Week” shall be ended. What is “this mission“?


Revelation 7:1-4 says, “After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. 2 Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun… 3 saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, “until” we have “sealed” the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of the sealed, “144,000“”.


So when the “last one of saints” is sealed, the last 3.5 of “One Week” will be ended. That is to say, makes it end of the last 3.5 is all 144000 saints have sealed. That’s why the last 3.5 is so long. God Father needs to wait for all His sons(144000) have been sealed, and only Father God knows whom is His last son. So that’s why no one knows the date of End Day except Father, also why Jesus hasn’t come yet for so long.

The Prince


Daniel 9:25-27

25 …from the going out of the word… to the coming of an anointed one, a “prince“,… 26  And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one(Prince) shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the “prince” who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many…


Who is the prince? Someone believe he is the anti-Christ, but if we read deeply we can see the prince is the anointed one, he shall be cut off, the prince who is to come, the people of the prince shall destroy the city(earthly Jerusalem). Who is the anointed one?


Yes, he is Jesus Christ, so the Prince is Jesus. For Jesus is the Messiah(anointed one), he shall be cut off, after that Jesus(Prince) who is to come at the End Day, “people of the Prince” – angels let earthly Jerusalem and the sanctuary destroyed.


Mark 14:58 “We heard him(Jesus) say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’”


Therefore it’s clear to tell us the Prince is Jesus, he will destroy the earthly Jerusalem and the temple, and he will build another one not made with hands – New Jerusalem and heavenly temple(Jesus himself)



Flood and War – End of “Seventy Weeks”

Daniel 9:26,27 “…Its end(the end of Seventy Weeks) shall come with a “flood“, and to the end there shall be “war“. “Desolations” are decreed. 27 …until the decreed end is “poured out” on the desolator.”


What does it mean of “flood” and “war“? What does it mean of “its end“?


its end” means the end of “Seventy-Weeks”, it shall come with a flood. What does it mean?


Matthew 24:37,39 Jesus said “37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.39 … until the “flood” came and swept them all away, so “will be” the coming of the Son of Man”.


Jesus said there will be flooding worldwide like the days of Noah when he is coming. Not only flood happens, but also it shall be “war” till to the end. When the flood happens worldwide with war, that means both of them will be last till to the end day, it will be the “sign” of the end of “Seventy Weeks”, the “sign” of finish sealing Saints and also the “sign” of the End Day.


It seems it is happening now, for the flood is happening world wide, and this magnitude has never occurred after Noah’s day, also there is war happening and makes the land “desolations“, such as Russo-Ukrainian war, Israeli-Hamas… Bible says flood and war won’t stop until the decreed is poured out on the desolator. It’s like a trumpet sounds “loudly” and tells us Jesus is coming, and he will arrive soon! Could you “hear” that?


We see that the “sign” has occurred, Matthew 24:16 Jesus said, “then let those… flee to the mountains”. Jesus warned us to move our home to the higher place in this trouble time, don’t live in the lower place that the flood may destroy your home. We are here to call on everyone to heed the advice of Jesus Christ, then your life will be saved.


Flood till to the end
War till to the end


Finally, makes “Seventy Weeks” decreed end is “poured out” on the desolator(the beast). What does it mean? It means the bowl of God’s wrath, and it will pour out on the desolator(the beast). Revelation 16:10 “The fifth angel “poured out” his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.”

Timeline of Seventy Weeks


All above evidence proves that “Seventy Weeks” is the symbolized period, when we put the last piece of 3.5 (“1260 days” ; “a time, times, half a time“) into the “One Week”, then “Seventy Weeks” will finish and complete.


Wow… so long of this topic. The mystery of “Seventy Weeks” has revealed, Let’s make it simple and have a chart to show it. Actually the mystery of “Seventy Weeks” is very simple but no one could known unless God reveal it!

Seventy Weeks
Seventy Weeks


1. In 522BC God’s “word” was come out, “Seventy Weeks” started. Firstly was “7@7” symbolic period and then was “62@7” symbolic period, and wait for the anointed one.


2. In AD 30, the anointed one(Jesus) appeared. The “69@7” symbolic period ended, the symbolic “1@7” period began.


3. Jesus’ 3.5 years ministry symbolic the first 3.5 of the “1@7”. Jesus made “covenant with many within One Week” from AD33 till to the End Day.


4. AD 70, Jerusalem and Sanctuary destroyed, that year was marked as the “half” of the One Week, the first 3.5 ended, and the other 3.5 began.


5. From AD 70 till to the End Day,144000 holy people were being sealed in the 3.5(1260 days) symbolized period. It is the last 3.5 of “1@7”. It’s also the period that Jesus said “sowed the wheat(sons of the kingdom) in the field”.


6. In AD ??? , the last saint of 144000 is sealed, 3.5(1260 days) ended, the “1@7” ended, and the “Seventy Weeks” is also ended and finished.


Seventy Sevens
Seventy Sevens


There is an interesting question, why God divided the “One Week” into two: half(3.5) and half(3.5)? Why not God define it to 1/144000, 1/12, 1/10, 1/7, 1/4 or 1/3 but 3.5?


Because Revelation 21:9,10 says, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the “wife” of the Lamb. 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me “the holy city Jerusalem” coming down out of heaven from God”.


Matthew 19:5,6 says,

…hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’ So they are no longer two but “one flesh“…


Ephesians 5:31,32 says, “ “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it “refers to” Christ and the church(New Jerusalem).”


For the Heavenly Kingdom is formed with 2 parts, Jesus(symbolic husband) and 144,000(or church symbolic wife; New Jerusalem). So when Jesus sacrificed and finished 3.5 ministry, it means the half of Heavenly Kingdom has completed. And when the last one of 144000 is sealed, another half of Heavenly Kingdom is completed too, then the establishment of Heavenly Kingdom will be completed.


This “half” does not mean the half of “time”, but the half of “progress” or “goal” because it is the symbolic period. God shows us the key points that is accomplishing his will in “Seventy Weeks” , in the future we will know the actual end date timeline of “Seventy Weeks”.


Another interesting question is why this vision is so complicated and confusing?


Because that is the mystery what God’s deliberate arranged, for partial fulfilled but partial not fulfilled to hidden the vision until the end time. Jehovah God separated it with different parts with different format into different Bible books, hidden it like a puzzle. God wants the mystery is like this : “Daniel, for the “words” are shut up and sealed until the time of the end“. So that’s why this vision is so difficult to understand, but actually the vision itself is very simple.


For the truth shall reveal at the end time only, so we should expect some truths must different from what we have learned or understood. Now God reveals and shows us this vision’s meaning. That means God tells us we are now standing the end time edge. So may we all ask heavenly father to forgive our sins, and we should repent, turn evil to good now. May we all hold testimony and help others to be goodness, just like what Jesus did and taught us.


Assumption


Let us think about the prophecy of “Seventy Weeks” rebuilding holy city, it is not only the Jerusalem on earth, but also the “New Jerusalem” in heaven. Why?


Because the New Jerusalem will come down from the Heaven, but before it come down, you can imagine it has to finish the “building“. So maybe this vision is also about the building of New Jerusalem(the real Holy City) in heaven. Actually we can say “Seventy Weeks” is mainly about rebuilding the “New Jerusalem”, why can we say that? Let’s see…


Assumption : From outgoing of God’s word in BC 522, the holy city “New Jerusalem” on heaven also began “to restore and build… there shall be Seven Weeks(symbolized period)”. “Then for sixty-two Weeks it(New Jerusalem) shall be built again with squares and moat” total sixty-nine sevens, then the “physicalNew Jerusalem has been built completed.


And then in the “One Seven(70th Week)“, the core of the New Jerusalem – the Lamb and the Bride(144000) – was begun to build, it started from AD 30.


The Lamb was killed in AD 33(symbolized 3.5), the first “half of One Week” was completed. But 144000 saints was not yet started sealing(confirm the seal) until AD70…


144000 saints are being sealed in the symbolized 3.5(1260 days) from AD 70 till to the End Day. When the last saint is sealed, then the last 3.5 of One Seven is complete, then build the holy city New Jerusalem is completed and successfully too. After that, the New Jerusalem will come down from the heaven…


So maybe this vision has 2 building meanings, one is the earthly Jerusalem, another is heavenly Jerusalem(New Jerusalem). For day and night only happens on earth not heaven, that’s why we say “Seventy Weeks” must be the symbolic period. And why we say the vision “Seventy-Weeks” is mainly about rebuilding heavenly New Jerusalem?


Because only New Jerusalem can achieve those 6 goals, the earthly Jerusalem couldn’t be able to achieve them. If “Seventy Weeks” is for rebuilding the earthly Jerusalem only, how come the earthly Jerusalem has to destroy, then how could it bring the everlasting righteousness for it has destroyed? On the other hand, if “earthly” Jerusalem could achieved those 6 goals, why has needed “New Jerusalem”?


Therefore we say “Seventy Sevens” is mainly about rebuilding “New Jerusalem”, for Jesus is King of kings rule in New Jerusalem forever and ever, “to put an end to sin“, “to bring in everlasting righteousness“…


Why the heavenly city is called “New” Jerusalem? Isn’t it tells us it was rebuilt of the old city? Yes, just like there was an old city being destroyed and then rebuild again. After finished the rebuilding, there will be a new name for it to distinguish the old one, rebuilding the new city is based on the passed city, that’s why its’ name will be the “new xxx“. So that’s why after the rebuild, God calls it new name “New Jerusalem“. Yes, only New Jerusalem could achieved those 6 goals…


  • to 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
