The seventy weeks
The seventy weeks corresponds to seventy times seven (Matthew 18:22), and represents forgiveness, because God sent His Son to earth with the power to forgive the sins of men. The seventy weeks was also the lifetime of Jesus Christ (Daniel 9:24).
● Matthew 18:21 » Then came Peter and said to him, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
● Matthew 18:22 » Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.
The mission of the Son of God was first reported in Isaiah which speaks of the coming of Jesus Christ to Earth.
● Isaiah 7:14 » Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
● Isaiah 9:6 » For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
● Isaiah 53:7 » He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
● Isaiah 53:8 » By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who `among them' considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke `was due'?
In Isaiah 53:8, it says: "and who shall count the time of his life?" The time of Jesus Christ's life was predicted by the Angel Gabriel, and it is written in Daniel 9 from verse 24 to verse 27, which speaks of the seventy weeks.
The calculation of the seventy weeks of Daniel gives the precise date of Jesus' birth, death, and also the end of the seventieth week of Christ's mission on earth.
The seventy weeks are in God's time and must be multiplied by 24, like a day (II Peter 3:8), coincidence or not it's the verse itself, so 70 weeks multiplied by 24 corresponds to 32.2 years. The order to restore and build Jerusalem was not given to Nehemiah. It was fulfilled when the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary and was to restore and build the heavenly Jerusalem that appears in Revelation 21:14.
● Daniel 9:24 » Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
● Revelation 21:14 » And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
● II Peter 3:8 » But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The seventy weeks were divided into three stages: from the time the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary to the Anointed Prince: seven weeks; another 62 weeks until his death and another week, after he died and rose again, he made a firm covenant with many (Revelation 1:18) and made the sacrifice and oblation to cease.
● Daniel 9:25 » Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the anointed one, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troublous times.
● Daniel 9:26 » And after the threescore and two weeks shall the anointed one be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and even unto the end shall be war; desolations are determined.
● Daniel 9:27 » And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease; and upon the wing of abominations `shall come' one that maketh desolate; and even unto the full end, and that determined, shall `wrath' be poured out upon the desolate.
Calculation:
69 x 7 x 24 = 11592 days – 270 days = 11322 days, divided by 365.25 = 31 years.
Seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks total sixty-nine weeks, multiplied by seven days of the week and multiplied by 24, as one day, totals 11,592 days, minus Maria's gestational period, let's consider nine thirty-day months, yields 11,322 days which divided by 365.25 days, including leap years, equals 31 years.
As shown in the worksheet below, the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (the new Jerusalem, Revelation 21:2), was on June 30, year -01 (minus one). Possibly Jesus was born on March 26 of year zero, considering a gestational period of 270 days.
The order to restore was obtained by going back 69 weeks (7+62, must be multiplied by 24, as one day) from the death of Jesus. Jesus was killed one day after Easter in the year 3791 of the Hebrew calendar, on 26/03/0031 in the Gregorian calendar, exactly 31 years after his birth.
Below is a spreadsheet demonstrating this calculation, just add 2000 years to the date, because the spreadsheet does not work with old dates.
The first seven-week stage equates to 3.22 years (7 x 7 x 24 / 365.25) and goes from the order to restore to anointed. The seven weeks were completed on September 18, the year 0002, when Herod died (Matthew 2:15) and the baby Jesus was able to return from Egypt with his parents.
● Matthew 2:15 » and was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt did I call my son.
The baby Jesus was born a living soul, and the Messiah was manifested (revived from the dead) in the person of the baby Jesus when he was in Egypt, after seven weeks or 3.22 years counted from the order to restore when the boy was 2.5 years old. Seven weeks is fulfilled what is written in Genesis 3:22, which says: "Behold, man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil." It can be understood that this fact happened out of respect for Mary and to have affection between mother and child.
● Genesis 3:22 » And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-
According to Luke 3:1, Jesus Christ began the mission in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. Tiberius Caesar was Roman Emperor from 9/18/14 until 3/16/37, the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar's reign begins on 9/17/0028. Luke 3:23, says that Jesus was almost thirty years old when he began the mission. Jesus Christ began the mission with 29 years complete, when he gathered the disciples, and on the third day he turned the water into wine in Cana of Galilee, it was the Passover of 04/15/29, this is written in John 2:23; a year later, Jesus multiplied the loaves, when he was 30 years old and the Passover of 04/04/30 was already close, this is written in John 6:4, and the following year, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a colt, to his last Passover with his disciples. Jesus Christ broke the bread and served the chalice and called it Holy Supper in his memory. Jesus was killed the next day on 03/26/31, with 31 years completed, not one more day, not less.
The second stage is completed 69 weeks after the order to restore, when the anointed one was cut off, that is, when Jesus Christ was killed. Jesus Christ was killed the day after Easter, on March 26, 31, on a Wednesday, and he resurrected three days later. At the end of the Sabbath he was not found in the tomb, as mentioned in Matthew 28:1.
● Matthew 28:1 » Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first `day' of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Jesus Christ after dead and resurrected fulfilled another week of his mission on earth. A week in God's time corresponds to 168 days (7 x 24=168), but his mission does not end, it continues until his return with the help of the “Spirit of Truth” sent by God (John 16:13) . In Acts 1:3 it says that the disciples saw Jesus for forty days, and in Acts 9:5 Jesus appears to Saul on the way to Damascus, and in Acts 7:55 Stephen sees Jesus standing at the right hand of God.
● John 16:13 » Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, `these' shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
● Acts 1:3 » To whom he also showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God:
● Acts 9:5 » And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he `said', I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
● Acts 7:55 » But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
The seventy weeks of Daniel (Daniel 9:24) is proof of the one to twenty-four ratio of God's time. The thousand years in God's time equals 24 thousand years, a thousand years as a day. The thousand years begins in the deluge when all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and an angel descends to Earth and imprisons the dragon in the depths of the Earth for a thousand years (Revelation 20:3). The thousand years ends after Jesus Christ has completed the seventy weeks of His mission on earth.
● Revelation 20:3 » and cast him into the abyss, and shut `it', and sealed `it' over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time.
