    "Seventy weeks"

    Before we study Daniel it is worth our while to look at the Book of Ezekiel where the prophet is set as a double for Jesus Christ. Before determining the destruction God commands him to bear the iniquity for the sins of Israel. " For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel./ And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year."(Ezek.4.5-6) . Right side and left side does not mean one after the other but simultaneously as in the Parable of the Goats and Sheep the judgment sets right side for Judah to indicate the Son of man who came according to the testimony of Jacob. "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver." (Gen.49.10) Forty days (4x10) indicate the Son who became flesh shall determine it. In this context 70 made up of multiples of 7 is according to the Law dispensed by Jesus Christ the beginning and the ending.

    One crucial test is the everlasting Covenant which is marked by days and never by weeks."And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men."(Rev.9.15)

    Confirming the covenant in v.27 is concerning Israel and the treaty was with the devil to which God had specially warned them.(Exod.34.12-16). So holy people and holy city do not concern them. What is historical and what is spiritual can only by separating the scriptural from conjectural. How misguided Bible teachers has been interpreting has been swallowed line hook and sinker by believers for centuries.

    Last para requires editing. Please read it as follows

    "Confirming the covenant in v.27 is concerning Israel and the treaty was with the devil to which God had specially warned them.(Exod.34.12-16).Jesus faulted who their father: the devil.(Jn.8.44) So holy people and holy city do not concern them. What is historical and what is spiritual can only by separating the scriptural from conjectural and the Spirit has never left loose ends. How misguided Bible teachers have been interpreting, on a set objective to keep Israel whether lie or not, has been swallowed line hook and sinker by believers for centuries. Had they read it with the Spirit and with humility the truth would have saved them the bother. Isa.28.13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,"
