Evidence for the Bible Part 9

A criticism “if someone says something extremely extraordinary is going to happen and then leaves the time frame as ‘eternity’ I would say that's not a prophecy.” – Jesse Selbert These are cumulative! And today – we get a time period! (for the sufferings)

Daniel predicted when Jesus would come
This will be a bit complex, I’ll explain, just buckle up

Daniel 9:24–27 (NKJV)

Daniel 9:24–27 (NKJV) 24“Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy.

Daniel predicted when Jesus would come Daniel 9:24–27 (NKJV)
24“Seventy weeks are determined For your people and for your holy city, To finish the transgression, To make an end of sins, To make reconciliation for iniquity, To bring in everlasting righteousness, To seal up vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy. Your people, your city Reconciliation for iniquity

25“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. The command – Started the clock 7 AND 69 – 7 (to build) 69 to wait

25“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. The command – Started the clock 7 AND 62 – 7 (to build) 62 to wait THEN… MESSIAH!

Daniel 9:24–27 (NKJV) 26“And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

26“And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined. Predictions: Messiah will come, and He will die, for others, city and Temple destroyed (again) A delay before the last week We don’t have 3000 years for Messiah, we have till the destruction of the 2nd Temple (70AD) BIG DEAL

Daniel predicted when Jesus would come Daniel 9:24-27 (NKJV)
“Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” 70th week

And He has commanded me to build Him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah. 3Who is among you of all His people? May his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is God), which is in Jerusalem. 4And whoever is left in any place where he dwells, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the freewill offerings for the house of God which is in Jerusalem.

483 years that each equal 360 days = Nehemiah 2:5 (NKJV) 5And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”

483 years that each equal 360 days = 173,880 days Nehemiah 2:5 (NKJV) 5And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”

March 5th 444BC is the start date!
Coming of Messiah March 5th 444BC is the start date! 173,880 days later it was = March 30th 33 AD This factors in leap years Artaxerxes Longimanus’ command March 5th 444BC March 30th 33AD “Messiah the king” Daniel’s prophecy 538BC Harold Hoehner’s “Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ” gives all the evidence to support this. Another view which comes up with March 29th as the end date and calculates slightly differently is here 173,880 days
