The Jews spent 70 years of exile in Babylon and not 490 years. Therefore, your computation is wrong.
Yes the Jews spent 70 years of exile in Babylon, but read again my post. It specifically states that the 490 year countdown STARTS at the time when the Decree is given to go and rebuild the city of Jerusalem. Or do you just choose to ignore this? The 70 weeks is not the same as the 70 years of captivity as it seems you are trying to have us believe.
Wrong again! The original brings, “until one who is anointed and a leader.” The KJV is an adulterated version of the Bible.
Ok, fine, however, Jesus was both anointed (by the Holy Spirit) at his baptism by John the Baptist and he was a leader of a great number of followers, not just the disciples.
Not the Temple nor Jerusalem itself, but the People. That’s a reference to the People who must rebuild themselves from the day they were exiled to Babylon. (Jer. 29:4-10)
This is the most convoluted interpretation of scripture I have ever seen. Wherein do you get the idea that this is talking about individuals and not the literal city. Gabriel is very specific in what he is saying. He does not mince words and you do, he tells Daniel to start the countdown from a specific event and Daniel had no problem understanding what was meant by Gabriel’s word. Why are you having such a problem with it? Is it because to admit that Jesus WAS and IS the messiah of the Jews that you would also have to admit that you forefathers actually had their messiah killed? Many of the time realized this very fact and repented of the deed and thus helped to build the church from the beginning.
This is Christian speculation on a Jewish prophecy with the purpose to plagiarize in their interest..
There is no speculation here. What has been presented has been accepted as truth by most christians and is supported by the other prophecies concerning Jesus. What you fail to understand is that there were two aspects of the messiah, the first was the suffering, sacrificial lamb, that was to come to teach. The second is when he returns to FIGHT for his people, those that have accepted him at his first coming and those that take by faith the truth that he was and is the one and only messiah. Your ancestors had it backwards, believing that the messiah would come and destroy their enemies and set up an eternal kingdom through them. They failed to understand or chose to ignore that God had not only made promises to the Jews but that he had also made promises to the Gentiles. And why would God do this? Because the Jews had failed in the assigned mission of God to teach the gentiles about God. God knew this would happen and so we have the suffering messiah, he that would come and take away the sins of man. Remember also that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins, therefore somebody had to die to make this happen. That somebody was Jesus, the SON OF GOD, the Messiah, Immanuel, The Prince of Peace.
That’s a reference to those 3.1/5 years the Greeks under Antiochus introduced the abomination of desolation in the Temple and caused a halt to the sacrifices for 3 1/5 years, until the Maccabees restored the Temple and purified the altar of sacrifices, which became know as Hannukkah.
That doesn’t wash either, seeing that it had to be someone who could “confirm” the covenant between God and Isreal. Where in history do we find that Antiochus even ever made a convenant with the Jewis people. We don’t. Plus the fact that the timing is all wrong. The seven years to confirm the covenant comes 483 years after the decree to go and rebuild Jerusalem. The time period you are referring to happens too early for it to fit into this prophecy.
The sacrifices did not cease when Jesus died. They continued being offered daily for another 40 years until the Temple was destroyed by the Romans. Nice try though..
On the day the Jesus died the curtian between the Holy Place and the Most Holy of Holies was rent in twain. At that moment GOD himself chose to no longer recognize any sacrifices made by the Priests in the temple. The sacrifce of that day was not finished because of this incedent. Once the curtain was repaired and the sacrifices were restored they became empty sacrifices, God had literally turned his back upon them because they had turned their backs upon Him by refusing to recognizing and accepting the messiah he had promised them. The sacrifices were totally stopped in 70 AD when the temple was completely distroyed. I doubt very seriously if it will be rebuilt or the sacrifices restored, in any case these will be useless as God willnot acknowledge them for Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for all mankind and no other sacrifice will be ever needed again.
**Actually, Paul never became an apostle to the Gentiles, for 2 percent of one’s missionary activities among the Gentiles can hardly classify one as an apostle to the Gentiles. Paul never left the Jews in peace by dedicating 98 percent of his missionary activities to the Jews and the converts of the Nazarenes, whose synagogues he would overturn into Christian churches according to his custom. Paul was never able to build a church from scratch with Gentiles. **
I don’t know what fantasy books you’ve been reading or where you get your propaganda information but you need to go back and finds some more reliable information. Good luck.
Just wait a little longer and you will have it.
Yeah, I can’t wait.
