G’day and welcome to this study. This is part four in a series on Daniel’s Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks. In this video we are going to calculate out the 69 weeks or 69 sevens of years.

This is a video presentation of the 70 weeks prophecy.
There are about a dozen articles on this subject over at the website
EndTimePilgrim.org

So the Seventy Weeks prophecy given to us in four verses in Daniel 9 when it is faithfully interpreted is going to allow the covenant people of God to do some calculations and to know when to expect the arrival of their Messiah.

The terminus of the 69 weeks will give them the arrival time for the First Coming of their
Messiah.
And the terminus of the future
70 th Week will give them the arrival time for the Second
Coming of Messiah.

We are told in Daniel 9 that
Daniel’s prayer which led to the angelic visitation and the the Seventy weeks
Prophecy came in the first year of Darius.

Daniel’s prayer
70 Weeks
Prophecy
Daniel 9 vs. 24-27
1 st Year of Darius,
538 B.C.

We are also told in Daniel 6 that the there was a time when the prayers and intercessions Daniel offered up angered his fellow governors greatly and this was also during the reign of
Darius.

Daniel’s prayers and intercessions on this occasion caused him to be cast into the den of lions.

If we think about it this lion’s den incident probably came quite early in the two year reign of Darius the Mede,
(uncle to Cyrus), when the governors were being assigned their posts in the new Medo-Persian regime.

So it is quite possible that this politically incorrect prayer that
Daniel offered up in a governmental institution on that occasion which caused him to be thrown into the den of lions may have been the prayer we see in Daniel 9, the very same prayer that brought us the
Seventy Weeks prophecy

So what is this message that the principalities and powers and denizens of darkness want so desperately to prevent us from receiving?

“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build
Jerusalem …”

So we are looking for a royal decree or a commandment which authorized the returning exiles to do this.
Rebuilt the gates and the walls of Jerusalem.

“...…unto the
Messiah the Prince shall be 7 weeks
( 7 sevens ) plus
62 weeks ( 62 sevens ).”
- Dan. 9:25

A Certain Royal Edict
Initiates a Timeline of
7 sevens + 62 Sevens
= 69 Sevens of
Biblical Years

Sir Isaac Newton spent half is lifetime researching the Seventy
Weeks prophecy. We are going to look into this in a future video because his work has been hidden and has only recently come out.
Newton used solar years of 365.25 days and the decree of Ezra in his unsuccessful attempts to calculate the Seventy Weeks Prophecy.

Are they years of
360 days?

As we showed in the previous video on Biblical or Prophetic
Time the Holy Scriptures present us with two Rosetta Stones for
Biblical Time.

Two Rosetta Stones in Holy Scripture
The Biblical Month The Biblical Year
Genesis 7 - 8 Revelation 12
Biblical Month Biblical Year
= 30 days 360 days

The first was back during the flood of Noah and it gives us the Biblical month as 30 days.

5 months = 150 days
The Biblical Month = 30 days

The other is the vision John saw in Revelation 12 which showcases the flight and exile of the woman, God’s covenant people, during the final
3.5 years or 1260 days of this age. This is the latter half of Daniel’s future 70 th Week,

Rev. 12: The Flight and Exile of the Woman to a place of nurturing for a period of time.
3.5 years = 1260 days

Revelation 12:6
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

Revelation 12:14
But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

So there we have our second Rosetta Stone for
Biblical time. It confirms for us that the Biblical
Year is a perfect number of 360 days.

The 2nd Rosetta Stone for Biblical / Prophetic Time
Is found in Revelation 12
1260 days
------------ = 360 days
3.5 years (Biblical year)

One Biblical Year = 360 Days
Using this 360 day year
Sir Robert Anderson was able to lay out a superbly accurate timeline for the first 69 weeks of Daniels
Prophecy of the
Seventy Weeks.

OK, we’ve rambled long enough.
Lets cut to the chase and calculate the 69 weeks.

7 weeks + 62 weeks
= 69 weeks
A “week” is a “seven” (Heb.)
7 “sevens” + 62 “sevens”
= 69 “sevens” of years

or 69 x 7

The math on the 69 weeks
The 483 Years are Biblical Years
One Biblical year = 360 days
483 x 360 = 173,880 days
So The 69 weeks
=
173,880 days

From the Edict to
“Messiah the Prince”
The
Edict
173,880 days
69 “sevens”
Messiah the Prince

The Magi made it there business to look into the prophecies of
Daniel.

And they did their homework faithfully in the fear and the love of God.
How about us?

Well, let’s get on with it, shall we?

The math on the 69 weeks
69 weeks =
173,880 days

173,880 days
Divided by
365.2422
(days in a year)
=

476.0677 (solar) years
= 476 Years plus
0.0677 x 365.2422 days
= 476 years
+ 24.7 days

69 Weeks / 69 “Sevens”
= 173,880 days
= 476 calendar years
+ 25 days

From the Edict to
Messiah the Prince”
The
Edict
476 solar years plus 25 days
Messiah the Prince

At the end of the 69 weeks Messiah is “cut off” or “executed” and will nave nothing.

Now we come to an interesting possibility.
Daniel reports that he was praying and interceding for God’s covenant people in the first year of Darius.

The Magi, (and there were probably dozens if not hundreds of them), travelled in from
Mesopotamia and regions in the east. Groups of them travelled to
Jerusalem over a period of some years looking for the Christ child.
They were not the occultists we see presented in books or in the movie theater.
