Question by Kid: Is this a load of nonsense?
Daniel 9 explains a 70 week prophecy, but supposedly Talmudic Law, p.978, section 2, Line 28 places a curse on anyone who reads Daniel 9:24-27 to understand the time prophecy it contains. There must be something important here that they don’t want us to know about, let’s take a look.
The 70 Week Prophecy
Daniel 9:24 states that “70 weeks are determined” for Daniel’s people (the Jewish nation), then verse 25 says explains that this time period is “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” (that’s 69 weeks). According to Ezra 7:7, the command to restore and build Jerusalem (which marks the beginning of the 69 prophetic weeks) was in the seventh year of Artaxerxes, year 457 BCE. Following the “day for a year principle” of Numbers 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:6, 69 weeks (483 days) would be 483 years. Going 483 forward in the future from 457 BC would take you to 27 AD, which according to Luke 3 is the “fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar”, the time of the baptism of Jesus. (Tiberius was granted power in 12 AD).
The 70th Week
After Jesus was baptized he proclaimed “The time is fulfilled” (Mark 1:15). Notice there is one week [7 years] left over from the 70 weeks. Verse 27 explains that after the 69th week “He shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice”. The middle of the 70th week would be around 31 AD when Jesus was sacrificed on the cross. In 34 AD, the stoning of Stephen marks the end of the 70 week prophecy and the Jewish nation as God’s chosen people. Those who are of Christ today are “Abraham’s seed and heirs to the promise” (Galatians 3:29) and God’s covenant was only renewed in that His law would be written in our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33).

no the 70th week is during the final tribulation period
the antichrist in the middle of it declares himself god in the newly rebuilt temple in israel
this verse says
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 unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
this people is rome and the prince that shall come is the antichrist of the reformed world empire like rome had in the days of jesus
this prince makes a covenant with many and breaks it
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
tl;dr… a dyslexic’s nightmare.

The bible is a sh** load of nonsense, i suggest you stop looking into the science-fiction section and come on over to the athiest side, also known as the non-fiction side.
Ask your librarian, i bet she’s an athiest too.
Most Christians use this to predict and AntiChrist.. the Irony!! Of course this would not be consistent with the day per year principle.
They just can’t keep their facts straight can they?
That is a very important prophecy for determining the appearance of the Messiah. Here is a link that shows a diagram of the 70 weeks (since it’s easier to look at a visual timeline of it).
