Hello all,
I found what is, to me, a fabulous web site that deals with the misconceptions and lies that have entered into our understanding of the Bible, and also the reasons why this has been happening. The author is straight forward and writes simply so he is easy to understand and follow. He covers a wide variety of related subjects and best of all warns the reader to pray for discernment and the guidance of the Holy Spirit while studying his material.
I will be putting three of his articles on this thread, so it will give a full picture of all aspects of this subject. I will admit, at this point, that I am in agreement with this author, as this is what I was finding out on my own, and resonates as true in my heart. Also, I believe as the author does that all these deceptions are interrelated and all lead to the heart of Satan’s plan for deluding the masses through the churches.
This first study is an overview.....more in-depth will follow.

Daniel's 70th Week Jesus Christ vs. Antichrist
The 70th Week Of Daniel is Fulfilled by Jesus Christ NOT the antichrist ...
The seven years of the 70th week of Daniel are the most important in all of human history, because of the truth about their fulfillment, and because of the deceptions that are based on them.
Below are two timelines that give an explanation for the fulfillment of the 70th Week on Daniel prophecy, which is found in Daniel 9:26-27.
The first timeline was fulfilled by Jesus Christ.
The second timeline features an end times Antichrist.
The first timeline was taught for 1900 years.
The second timeline is now taught by today’s Pastors.
The first timeline represents God’s truth.
The second timeline represents Satan’s deception.
Here’s the 70th week of Daniel, as fulfilled by Jesus Christ from 27-34 A.D.:
It starts with Jesus beginning His ministry of confirming the Abrahamic covenant.
For 3.5 years, Jesus and His disciples ministered to the House of Israel.
Midway, Jesus was crucified for our sins, ending the need for Jewish temple sacrifices.
For 3.5 years, Jesus disciples ministered to the House of Judah, and they were persecuted.
At the end of the 7 years, Stephen was stoned to death by the Jewish leaders, finalizing their rejection of Jesus New Covenant.
**********
Here’s the 70th week of Daniel, as fulfilled by an end times Antichrist after a 1,986+ year time gap:
It starts with the Antichrist making a 7-year peace covenant with Israel.
For 3.5 years, there would be relative peace.
Midway, the Antichrist would proclaim that he is God in a rebuilt Jewish temple.
For 3.5 years, there would be Great Tribulation.
At the end of the 7 years, Jesus would return to destroy the Antichrist.
Notice how the structure of both timelines is very similar, but their story lines are diametrically opposed.
Satan is the master deceiver, who manipulates Gods Words to deceive men.
The consequences of the 70 Weeks of Daniel deception are grand!
It causes Christians to look for an end times one-man Antichrist, instead of identifying the Roman Catholic Church as the beast of Revelation, the Little Horn of Daniel and the Pope, the Son of Perdition.
This is the very reason that the end times 7 year tribulation deception was created by the Roman Catholic Church.
They were being accused by the Protestant Reformers of being the Antichrist system who persecuted the saints.
The Protestant Reformers told people to ‘come out of her‘, which caused millions of people to leave the Roman Catholic Church and be saved by the pure Gospel of Jesus.
The Antichrist is not just a man who will enter a rebuilt Jewish temple in the end times.
It is the Roman Catholic Church who has inserted itself into the spiritual temple of Christianity by claiming to be Christian, but they are really the old Babylonian religion of Sun and Satan worshipers. That is why they are called Mystery Babylon.
“Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:19-22,
The Roman Catholic Church has been seated in the temple and proclaiming to be God since 538 A.D. Antichrist doesn’t just mean against Christ, but it also means ‘in place of Antichrist.’ The Pope calls himself the ‘Vicar of Christ’ which means substitute Christ.
The 70 Weeks of Daniel is the only prophecy that revealed the exact year that the Messiah would appear.
Other prophecies pointed to the coming Messiah, but only this one told them the exact year that He would appear.
That year was 27 A.D., when Jesus was baptized and anointed, and then He read from Isaiah in the temple and proclaimed that He was the Messiah. :-)
By putting the focus on an end times Antichrist, it removes the amazing fulfillment of Jesus ministry, and fulfillment of Jeremiah 31:31, “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.”
Despite their previous idolatry and sins against God, Jesus graciously offered the Israelites salvation. The foundation of the Christian Church is built on believers who came from the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
It de-emphasizes that the house of Israel and the house of Judah already returned to their land and were brought together under Jesus new covenant.
Instead we have been deceived to focus on the modern state of Israel as the fulfillment of prophecy.
It removes the finality of Jesus judgment and execution of vengeance against the Jews.
In the Parable of the Landowner, the Parable of the Wedding Feast and in His “Woe to you” speech against the Jewish leaders, Jesus told them that because they rejected His new covenant, delivered Him up to be killed, and killed the prophets, He would desolate them, their city and the temple.
The “days of vengeance”, the “great tribulation as never has been before”, the “time of Jacob’s trouble”, resulted in a total of 1.1 million Jews dying from famine, disease, 10’s of thousands by crucifixion, 100’s of thousands by infighting amongst themselves, 100’s of thousands by the Roman sword; and the rest were sold into slavery.
Jesus told the Jews, “Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ “
The Sinai Covenant has been fulfilled and there is no way to heaven except through Jesus. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28
It causes Christians to not understand end times theology, so that they mistakenly support the state of Israel.
Since the Israelites regathered before Jesus first coming, there is no need for a regathering before His second coming.
Jesus told the Jews that Jerusalem would be trampled by Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled.
But the time of the Gentiles is not over yet, so if the people in Israel are Jews, then that would make Jesus statement false.
But Jesus statement is proven true because 97% of people who call themselves Jews ARE NOT descendents of Abraham. They are Ashkenazi Jews, who are the descendents of Turkish-Mongols that converted to Judaism in the 8th century, making them Gentiles.
It causes Christians to believe that they will be raptured before they have to face the beast.
Instead of being prepared, they will run around like the foolish virgins looking for oil for their lamps.
When the economy collapses, when there are food and water shortages, when WWIII pits Christian America against Muslim countries, when the world is cast into despair; unprepared Christians will become desperate for help, just like the rest of the world.
Unprepared Christians will be ripe to accept the False Messiah who offers food, water and peace. And they will be susceptible to worship the image of the beast, and deny Jesus, in order to preserve their earthly life.
Jesus told us to be alert and prepared.
The world will be desperate for hope and the fields will be ripe. Will you be able to help with the harvest?
Will you have a supply of spiritual oil of faith and love for your lamps, so that you will shine as a light in the dark world?
Will you be prepared to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of your testimony, and not love your lives to the death?
##############################
The next couple articles are more in detail as this was a brief overview. I would like to stress the importance of these two statements from this study…
“For 3.5 years, Jesus disciples ministered to the House of Judah, and they were persecuted.
At the end of the 7 years, Stephen was stoned to death by the Jewish leaders, finalizing their rejection of Jesus New Covenant.”
This is important, because many find it difficult to see the stoning of Stephen as an end point to the 70th week. But, realizing that it completed Judah’s (the Jews) rejection of Christ, and the 70 weeks were determined for the Jews, this makes a great deal of sense! It was an important event that clearly marked an end.
JESUS IS ALL AND EVERYTHING!!

Hello Patti,
Thanks for posting, and this is a very interesting topic. Though there are places in this article where I agree according to scripture and disagree according to man's philosophy - Steven's martyrdom being the end point of Daniels 70th week??
I must say, and I think you would agree, that UNLESS we are willing to recognize that the people living there are not the true Abrahamic Seed Israelite's, but are the people of Esau as clearly explained in...
Eze 35:10
"Because you have said, These two nations [The Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom] and these two countries [Judah and Israel] shall be mine, and we will possess them, although the Lord was there..."
And Eze 36:2
"Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
And Eze 36:5
"Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea[Edom/Esau], which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
We the Church, will continue to live in a state of perpetual lies and deceit. This is what I believe is equivalent to an abomination in the Most Highs eyes. He wants us to operate in spirit and in truth. We keep trying to figure out His word and the TRUTH is the missing link to clarity and unity in the body.
Therefore Satan will continue to play the church like a violin. As he does with everything.
I was just pondering this morning about the possibility of us having to endure the entire Great Tribulation and this is JUST a ponder.
SUPPOSE we are to endure it all, and because of the lies and deception the Lord told us we "would" believe, has been poured out on the body of Christ that believe we are not subject to ANY of Gods laws, statutes or commandments; I was JUST pondering whether the 144,000 dispensed amongst us, amongst the world - to physical Israel [waking them up]and spiritual Israel[waking US up] - would be Christ LAST CALL, sending out TRUE Israel, with the TRUE message, calling for TRUE repentance, for our denial and rejection of truly becoming a part of the commonwealth of Israel, with its laws, statutes and commandments to boot!
After all:
"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
This is JUST a supposition, but if the Lord wants to bring this home to the hearts of His people...He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the churches.
One more thing you wrote:
"This is important, because many find it difficult to see the stoning of Stephen as an end point to the 70th week. But, realizing that it completed Judah’s (the Jews) rejection of Christ, and the 70 weeks were determined for the Jews, this makes a great deal of sense! It was an important event that clearly marked an end."
Stevens martyrdom did not end Judah's rejection of Christ, because there were many Jews who believed in Christ. Paul for example, was a Benjamite. The end didn't come until 70AD, when the tribes of the Southern Kingdom [Judah, Benjamin and Levy] were scattered fleeing Roman persecution, when many of them were killed and a great many fled into Africa, and from there were sold into slavery [Deut 28:15-68], to the America's and many other countries. But God is faithful to His word...
Rom 11:5
"Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."
The rest were blinded until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
With true sincerity, forgive me if I am misunderstanding what is being said here.
Blessings to you Sister,
Blessed Be His Name
Hi Linda....
I hope this next article helps answer your questions....thanks for commenting, I am trying to get this all figured out in my own heart, searching for studies that speak simply and logically, and were Holy Spirit guided by the authors. I think this one is one of the best.

Hello all,
(Gerlinda, I know you will enjoy the simplicity of this study…it is plain and easy to understand…hope it helps you in your explorations into this topic.)
This second study is done by the same author, and below is a link to this specific article on the website given above. This author welcomes sharing this information, but asks that the person reading it pray first about it and let the Holy Spirit guide them. I really admire that wise advice!

THE ILLOGICAL TEACHING OF END-TIME 70TH WEEK
This end time’s prophecy deception study will focus on the illogical teachings about the 70th Week of Daniel.
After 1800 years of correct theology about Daniel’s 70 Week Prophecy, from revered scholars such as John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, John Calvin, Martin Luther, Sir Isaac Newton, Matthew Henry, Adam Clarke, Albert Barnes, and many others…
Today’s Pastors have thrown logic out the window.
They teach that only 483 years of God’s 490 year prophecy have been fulfilled; that there is a 1,986+ year time GAP; and then an end times 7 year tribulation, which finally fulfills the prophecy.
So that means that so far it has taken God 2,476 years to fulfill His own 490 year prophecy.
What kind of God are these Pastors teaching us about?
Only a weak god couldn’t fulfill his own prophecy on schedule.
And logic tells us that if a 490 year prophecy isn’t fulfilled in 490 years, then the prophecy is invalid.
Of course, the Most High God is not a God of confusion, and He fulfilled His prophecy on time.
The 70 Weeks of Daniel study invalidated the foundation for a future 7-year period, as it proves that the covenant is from Jesus Christ, not an end times Antichrist.
To see how illogical it is to insert a 1,986+ year time GAP into a 490 year prophecy, consider the following.
The 70th Week of Daniel prophecy is about the Jews, not the end of the world.
When you read the ninth chapter of Daniel, it starts with Daniel most earnestly praying with an attitude of humbleness before the Lord.
He acknowledges/confesses the sin and apostasy of his people.
He professed that God is righteous and just in His dealing out of punishment.
And he prayed to God to restore his people (the Jews), as their 70 year captivity in Babylon was nearly over.
While in captivity, a remnant of Jews stayed true to God, but the majority did not repent of their ways. Daniel was interceding, asking God to forgive them and to give them another chance to return to Jerusalem and reconcile with Him.
He was not praying for revelation about the end times.
The context of the 70 weeks of Daniel prophecy is all about the Jews and their release from Babylonian captivity. God was giving them one last chance to repent, to reconcile, and to prepare for their coming Messiah; before He removes the kingdom and blessings from them.
It’s not about the end-times, so end-times prophecy should NOT be applied to it.
It doesn’t make sense to apply the 70th week of Daniel prophecy to everyone in the world.
The angel Gabriel said that the prophecy is only about the Jews being released from captivity, rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem, and preparing for their Messiah.
Daniel 9:24 says “Seventy weeks (490 prophetic years) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city(Jerusalem).”
The 70 weeks were fulfilled from 457 B.C. to 34 A.D., so it has nothing to do with an end-times antichrist who seeks to control the whole world.
The prophecy was only for Daniel’s people, the Jews; not to Gentiles or other nations.
It’s a 490 year prophecy, not a (483 + 1,986 + 7) year prophecy.
The entire prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 covers a period of 490 years. Ask yourself…
“If God gives a prophecy for a 490 year time period, how long does it take Him to fulfill it?”
Of course the answer is 490 years, otherwise it’s not a 490 year prophecy. And if it wasn’t fulfilled in 490 years, then it’s invalid.
Against all logic, today’s teachers say that God only fulfilled 483 years of His prophecy, and that there is a 1,986+ year time GAP before the final 7 years will be fulfilled, as the end times 7-year tribulation period.
There has never been a precedent where God gave a timeline and then didn’t meet it in the time allotted.
All biblical references to time are consecutive: 40 days and 40 nights (see Genesis 7:4), 400 years in Egypt (see Genesis 15:13), 70 years of captivity (see Daniel 9:2), etc.
Logic demands that we look to see how God fulfilled the prophecy in the allotted time.
“What week comes after the 69th week?”
Logic requires that the 70th week follow immediately after the 69th week. If it doesn’t, then how can it possibly be called the 70th week!
Today’s teachers say that after the 69th week, the prophetic clock stopped, and that it won’t start ticking again until the end times 70th Week of Daniel, the 7-year tribulation period, begins.
The enormous problem with that logic is that there is no gap mentioned, referred to, implied, or remotely hinted at, anywhere in the prophecy.
They say that the events of the last 7 years of the 490 year prophecy were not fulfilled, therefore they speculate that it must be in the future.
Since logic requires that “seventy weeks” refers to one consecutive block of time (seventy straight sequential weeks), we have to search the scriptures and refer to historical texts, to see how God fulfilled the prophecy in the allotted time.
Many of today’s teachers says that Jesus was killed immediately after the 69th week, and that the 70th week never started.
Ask yourself, how long was Jesus ministry?
Was it not 3 ½ years, which was confirmed by the Gospel of John, as Jesus went to Passover 4 times, the last time to die.
AFTER the 69th week, Jesus was anointed at His baptism, and then He proclaimed Himself as the Jews Messiah in the temple when He read from the book of Isaiah.
Then Jesus ministered for 3 ½ years.
His death occurred halfway through the 7 year period, fulfilling Daniel 9:27, which says that in the midst of the seven years, the sacrifices would end.
Jesus blood sacrifice as the spotless Lamb of God fulfilled the Law, terminating the Sinai Covenant, causing the temple curtain to be torn in two, and ending the need for temple sacrifices.
During the last half of the 70th week of Daniel, the disciples preached the Gospel to the Jews.
Jesus and His disciples primarily ministered to the House of Israel for 3.5 years, as most of their time was spent in Galilee, not Jerusalem.
After His death, Jesus disciples primarily ministered in Jerusalem to the House of Judah for 3.5 years.
This fulfills the promise in Jeremiah 31:31, “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.”
The 7 year period ended when Stephen preached the Gospel to the Jewish leaders and held them accountable for their promised Messiah’s death.
The Jews leaders responded by stoning Stephen to death, fulfilling Jesus prophecy in Matthew 23:34-35.
Then Paul was called to be the Apostle to the nations (Gentiles), and Philip was told to preach to the nations. This fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy that the light of Jesus would shine and salvation would be offered to all of the nations of the earth.
As punishment for the Jews killing Jesus prophets, He told the Jews that all the righteous blood of the prophets would come upon their generation. This was fulfilled in 70 A.D. when the people of Prince Titus, the Roman army, caused 1.1 million Jews to die.
Does it make sense to mention the death of Jesus and the end times arrival of the Antichrist in the same verse?
Verse 26 mentions the Messiah who will be killed and the prince who is to come.
Today’s Pastors say that the “prince” is an end times Antichrist.
Implying that the death of Jesus Christ and the end times arrival of the antichrist are in the same verse is not logical.
Mentioning the death of Jesus Christ and the coming prince (Titus) who would desolate those who had Jesus crucified, makes perfect sense.
The 70th Week of Daniel prophecy doesn’t mention the building of a 3rd temple.
Many Pastors teach that an end-times Antichrist is going to desecrate a 3rd temple.
The 70 Weeks of Daniel prophecy describes the rebuilding of the 2nd temple, but it doesn’t mention the building of a 3rd temple.
Implying that the prophecy speaks about an end times Antichrist in a 3rd temple is illogical.
Pastors use 2 Thes. 2:3-4 to justify the need for a 3rd temple, but the Antichrist In The Temple Deception study reveals that it is referring to the spiritual temple that is made up of followers of Christ, the Christian Church; not a physical temple.
Read Daniel 9:24-27 and ask yourself:
•Does it mention a 2,000 year gap in between week 69 and week 70?
•Does it use the word “Antichrist”?
•Does it specify that an Antichrist will make a peace accord with Israel?
•Does it speak of an end times 3rd temple being rebuilt?
•Did the passage mention an Antichrist who will proclaim that he is god?
•Does it use the word “tribulation”?
•Did the passage mention the rapture of the Church?
The answer is NO
So why do teachers incorrectly separate the last 7 years away from the first 483?
Because they don’t understand that it was completely fulfilled, thus they speculate that it must be future.
And because Satan has deceived people, so that they don’t understand the signs of Jesus second coming, much like the Jews did not realize the time of Jesus first coming.
Because the 70th week of Daniel has been fulfilled, the foundation for the concepts of the 7-year tribulation with an Antichrist entering a rebuilt Jewish temple, are invalidated!
Given that most Christians have been (mis)led to believe in a pretribulation rapture followed by 7 years of tribulation for those that are left behind…
that leaves most Christians woefully deceived about what happens next in end times prophecy, and it leaves them unprepared to face the beast system as it moves the world into their New World Order, where everyone will be made to kneel and worship the beast… or die.
In Matthew 24:24, Jesus said “For there shall arise false Christs, and false Prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
In 2 Timothy 4:3-4 Paul warned us, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.”
The covenant in Daniel 9:27 is from Jesus Christ, not an end times Antichrist.
Today’s Pastors say that the covenant is from an end times Antichrist, so it must be future.
But the covenant was from Jesus Christ and it was fulfilled in the 70th week.
Daniel 9:26-27 foretells the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.
There is no mention anywhere in the Bible of an Antichrist making a peace agreement with Israel or destroying the temple and Jerusalem.
But history confirms that the people of Prince Titus, the Roman army, did in fact surround the city as Jesus warned in Luke 21, and they laid the city and temple desolate.
To say that the 70th week of Daniel has not been fulfilled, is implying that God did not follow through on His promise to desolate the Jews and their temple, if they did not accept their promised Messiah.
Jesus said in His Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers in Matthew 21, that the wicked tenants who killed the landowners servants and His son, would be killed, and the land given to another to bear the fruit.
Jesus said in His Parable of the Wedding Feast in Matthew 22, that God invited the Jews to be married to His Son Jesus, if they would accept His offer of salvation. But they refused and they killed His servants. And when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Those parables aren’t just stories, they were prophecies to the Jews, that they would be killed if they rejected Him as Messiah.
In Matthew 24, Jesus described the Great Tribulation that would take place when the Roman army surrounds the city. Historians confirm that there was famine, and pestilences, and wars, and false prophets who told the Jews it would be okay.
Jesus told the disciples that when they see the Abomination of Desolation, which Luke 21 tells us is the army surrounding the Holy Place of Jerusalem, then they were to flee to the mountains.
1. 1 Million Jews died from starvation, from disease, from infighting, from crucifixions, and by the Roman sword.
There are no recorded deaths of any of Christians, people from the House of Israel and House of Judah who accepted Jesus as Messiah, as they saw the sign and fled the city with God’s protection.
To say that the 70th week of Daniel has not been fulfilled, is to remove the finality of the desolation of the Jewish nation.
To remove Jesus ministry from the 70th week is to remove the precise timing that proved that Jesus is the Messiah.

Just a few comments from this study that I want to repeat for emphasis:
“Today’s Pastors have thrown logic out the window.

Of course, the Most High God is not a God of confusion, and He fulfilled His prophecy on time.
The 70th Week of Daniel prophecy is about the Jews, not the end of the world.”

To me this all rings so true, and with all the other lies out there that the modern church is teaching it is good for us to look deeply into each and every one. If a child could not understand it, it probably is not true!!

THE 70TH WEEK COVENANT DECEPTION
Link of article or video : http://www.christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/70-weeks-of-daniel-covenant-deception/
Hello all,
I can see that this study on Christ fulfilling Daniel’s 70th week is not popular and is stirring up a strong counter argument from Bruce Warner. I respect Bruce, and appreciate his scholarship, but this subject needs to be looked at with both sides presented. These studies are Biblically supported and present how the majority of great Bible scholars in the past interpreted the 70 weeks and the New Covenant being made with mankind.
In the spirit of iron sharpening iron, and to encourage people to find out for themselves, I present these studies. It is important to discern this correctly, as it has to do with so many other components of the end time scenario that will affect our lives, and is already playing a major role in world affairs.
These are the end times, the world is in tribulation, and Satan is being let loose for his short time of rulership. There is an antichrist and a false prophet, and they are gaining power as we near the end of the age and the Second Coming. Understanding the truth about Daniel’s 70th week does not distract from what is happening, it just gives clarity as to the timing and what is being completed in God’s Plan.
############################
The 70th Week Of Daniel Covenant Deception
This study will show you how the “covenant” in the prophecy of the 70 Weeks of Daniel was confirmed by Jesus the Messiah.
The reason this is so very important is that many Pastors teach that it refers to an end-times Antichrist making a peace covenant with Israel.
The framework for the concepts of the pre-tribulation rapture, the 7-year tribulation period, the need for a rebuilt Jewish temple, the antichrist desecrating the temple, and the 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation; are ALL based on the premise that the
covenant in Daniel 9:27 is created by an end-times Antichrist.
By proving that it was Jesus covenant, the premise of it applying to a future antichrist is invalidated.
And thus, the foundation for all of these end-times concepts is destroyed.
This means that many Pastors will have a lot of explaining to do before Jesus.
What is being taught today about Daniel’s 70th Week is contrary to what has been taught by the top Bible scholars.
Top Bible commentators like Albert Barnes, John Calvin, Adam Clarke, John Gill, Matthew Henry, Matthew Poole, John Wesley and others; all teach that Jesus confirmed the covenant that is referenced in Daniel 9:27, and they all teach that Jesus and His disciples completely fulfilled the 70th Week of Daniel prophecy.
Old Testament prophets foretold Jesus offering a covenant for the sins of men. The New Testament repeatedly confirms that Jesus offered a New Covenant to the House of Israel, and to all who believe in His atoning work on the cross of Calvary, which occurred in the middle of the 70th week of Daniel when He was “cut off.”
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that an Antichrist will make a peace agreement with the modern state of Israel… yet that is what is being taught by pastors.
They speculate about a future fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel featuring a one-man Antichrist, because they don’t understand to fulfillment by Jesus Christ.
The context of the 70 weeks of Daniel prophecy is NOT about the end-times.
The context of the passage is about Daniel’s people, the Jews, who were due to be released from Babylonian captivity, and Daniel had been praying about their future.
In the passage, God told Daniel (through His angel) that He was giving the Jews one last chance to repent of their sins, to reconcile with God, and to prepare for their coming Messiah, who would arrive in the 70th week of the prophecy.
The prophecy of the 70 Weeks of Daniel told the Jews EXACTLY what year the Messiah would appear.
Jesus disciples understood the timing of the prophecy and were expecting Him, as witnessed when Andrew told his brother Simon, “we have found the Messiah.”
Satan used the hard hearts of the Jewish leaders to hide it from them, which caused them to reject Jesus and deliver Him up to be crucified.
To understand the context of the prophecy, read the complete chapter of Daniel 9.
The focus of this study is Daniel 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.”
The Covenant of Jesus is a perfect fit with the prophecy of Daniel’s 70 Weeks.
Many modern teachers say that the pronoun ‘he’ represents an end-time antichrist who makes a peace covenant with Israel. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Antichrist will make, confirm, or break a covenant with anyone, let alone Israel.
The pronoun ‘he’ is referring to the previous noun, ‘prince’, from verse 26.
The prince is Jesus, as the word prince (nagiyd) in verse 26 is the same as in verse 25 which declares the arrival of Messiah the Prince (Jesus).
There are many verses that point to Jesus confirming a covenant during His ministry, which took place during the first half of the 70th Week of Daniel.
‘And He(Jesus) said to them, “For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:28
In these words we find four things which agree with the prophecy of Daniel 9:27:
1. “The One” who was to confirm the covenant, Jesus the Messiah;
2. “The covenant” itself;
3. That which “confirmed” the covenant, the blood of Christ;
4. Those who receive the benefits of the covenant, the “many” who believe in Him as their Messiah.
These words correspond perfectly with those of the prophecy. “He shall confirm the covenant with many.”
Here’s more verses that testify that Jesus shed blood confirmed the New Covenant, which redeemed many.
Zechariah 2:11 “Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.”
Through Jesus, the promise to make Abraham a “father of many nations” was fulfilled, as Jesus disciples spread the gospel to many nations.
Isaiah 53:11 says, “He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.“
Matthew 20:28 says, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.“
Romans 5:15 says, “But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.”
Romans 5:19 says, “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.”
The word “confirm” tells us that the covenant already existed.
Many teachers says that the Antichrist will “create” or “make” a covenant with Israel, indicating the beginning of a covenant.
But God’s word says “confirm” (also rendered “strengthen“), which tells us that the covenant was previously established.
Romans 15:8 says, “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.“
Galatians 3:17 says, “And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.”
So what covenant needed to be confirmed?
Jesus co-authored the Abrahamic Covenant, to redeem Abraham’s spiritual seed, those of all races who believe in God, by faith.
Hebrews 12:2, “looking unto Jesus, the author(originator) and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:24, “Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.”
Hebrews 13:20, “Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.”
In Genesis 15, the Everlasting Covenant was confirmed by God (the smoking furnace) and Jesus (the burning lamp).
God told Abraham to prepare a sacrifice into two piles, and he waited for God to appear. As the day wore on, vultures smelled the meat that was lying in the sun, and began swooping down for a meal.
As evening approached, Abraham became concerned. Where was God? He became very tired from protecting the sacrifice all day. Despair and gloom began to envelop him, and he realized that unless something changed very soon, he was in deep trouble.
God had him prepare the sacrifice, and now He was nowhere in sight. Why didn’t God show up? What could have gone wrong?
Bewildered and exhausted, Abraham realized he was fighting a losing battle with those birds, and in despair, he fell into a deep sleep that enveloped him like a dark creeping horror.
The darkness which was “filled with dread” was not caused by the setting sun, but by what looked like the failing of a friendship with God that had been built up over many years.
In despair and exhaustion, Abraham lost consciousness, and he also lost control of the sacrifice he had so joyfully prepared to please God. Talk about the death of a vision!
Abraham’s experience was symbolic of the natural life that we bring to the Lord.
So long as we trust or depend on our natural capabilities, we cannot enter into the fullness of what God has to offer.
Our best efforts may seem good, but in the realm of the Spirit, they are of little consequence. Any offering we bring to the Lord, including ourselves, must die first, or be sacrificed.
Only then can we be resurrected and infused with the life-blood of Jesus Christ our Savior. Abraham had to learn right from the start that there was no merit in human works or sacrifices.
When Abraham awoke, the proceedings were over and he had not even participated in the ceremony! He had absolutely no input in drawing up the Covenant of faith for which he is so well known.
God knew that no mortal person, having inherited sinful nature, would be capable of entering into and keeping covenant with God.
While Abraham was unconscious, God the Father and Jesus burnt up the sacrifice, confirming the covenant.
Two symbols representing the Godhead, appeared on the scene. The Smoking furnace represented God the Father, while the Burning Lamp symbolized Jesus, man’s divine intercessor.
Those symbols passed between the two piles, circling one pile, then the other, in a figure 8 pattern. That pattern consisted in joining two circles at a common point.
A circle signifies completion, and everlasting value. By joining the two circles, they represent the infinity symbol, a covenant of everlasting love.
The lamp that lights every man that comes into the world, now stood as Abraham’s representative on this most solemn occasion, when an everlasting plan, or agreement, regarding the eternal future of the human race was carried out.
The communion with God that was lost in the Garden of Eden, was going to be restored through Jesus sacrificial death.
How can we know that the burning lamp represented Jesus Christ?
Consider this: If Christ, the Son of God, was destined to take the place of sinful man, and die the death of the cross, was it not reasonable that He should also be party to the agreement that would require His life?
In Hebrews 9:15-16, the covenant delivered to Abraham is identified as the New Covenant or the Eternal Covenant that Christ “confirmed” by the shedding of His blood.
Then the writer of Hebrews goes on to identify Christ not only as the One who validated that covenant, but also as its author!
“And for this reason Christ is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.”
It’s telling us that the New (or Abrahamic) Covenant could not be confirmed or ratified until the One who made it died.
Hebrews 9:28 states that “Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many,” which is a perfect match to Daniel 9:24-27. Jesus’ sacrificial offering covered all of the sins that are listed in Daniel 9:24, and His sacrifice made to save many.
Who was it that died for the sins of mankind?
Wasn’t it Jesus Christ, who is also called the “Light of the World”?
If only His death could validate that agreement, then it had to be He who authored it!
Think for a minute, when did Jesus Christ present His will, or agreement, or Covenant to mankind? There was only one such encounter recorded in Scripture.
It was when the Burning Lamp appeared with the Smoking Furnace while Abraham was asleep under the power of God’s presence.
2 Chronicles 21:7 foretells Jesus coming as the “lamp”, even though the Israelites had broken their covenant with God, Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.”
Christ, the co-author of the Eternal Covenant, confirmed it by His sacrificial death.
Hebrews 7:22 tells us, “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better covenant.”
The word “surety” means “to pledge” as a “bondsman“. When Jesus co-created the Abrahamic Covenant, He agreed to be the surety, the blood sacrifice that would confirm the covenant.

Continued….
Hebrews 8:6 tells us, “But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”
His office of priesthood is more excellent than the Levitical, because the covenant is better, and established on better promises: the old covenant referred to earthly things; the new covenant, to heavenly.
When Jesus sealed the covenant of faith He and the Father had delivered to Abraham, the Sinai Covenant ceased to be. It had served its purpose and was finished!
As the Son died, the Father, the Author of the Sinai Covenant, reached down and tore open the veil that had separated between Himself and His creation.
Now that the old contract was torn up and discarded by the only One who had the authority to annul it – its Author! The barrier between man and God was removed forever!
The old covenant had promises of secular good; the new covenant, of spiritual and eternal blessings. As far as Christianity is preferable to Judaism, as far as Christ is preferable to Moses, as far as spiritual blessings are preferable to earthly blessings, and as far as the enjoyment of God throughout eternity is preferable to the communication of earthly good during time; so far does the new covenant exceed the old.
God’s prophets pointed to Jesus covenant, which covered their sins.
Jeremiah 31:31-34 foretold the time when Jesus would offer a new covenant to the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. In Hebrews 8:8-10, Paul confirmed that this was fulfilled by Jesus.
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”
Christ, by whom the covenant was made and ratified, is called the angel or messenger of the covenant, because he reconciles us to his Father.
Malachi 3:1, “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.”
Shortly after Jesus was baptized and anointed, He proclaimed that He was the promised Messiah when He read from the book of Isaiah in the temple before the Jews.
Ezekiel 37:26-27 confirms that it was Jesus who ‘cut’ an everlasting covenant, that established peace between God and man. And He setup a spiritual temple that can never be abolished, which is made up of His people.
“Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
Jesus the Messiah was the mediator, the messenger and the ratifier, of the covenant of grace which was confirmed with many, both Jews and Gentiles, so that the promise made to all nations in Abraham would be fulfilled.
Isaiah 42:6, “I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles.”
This is proof that the “burning lamp” represented our Savior as man’s intercessor. Christ, the promised Redeemer, had to be there as the author of the covenant, or His death could not have validated it.
Jesus was sent for the lost sheep of the House of Israel, to offer them a new covenant.
Jesus confirmed this in Matthew 15:24, when He said “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
The 70th week of Daniel covenant is eternal, not just for 7 years.
Today’s Pastors teach that the Antichrist will make a 7 year covenant with Israel, but Daniel 9:27 is not saying that the covenant only lasts for 7 years.
It is saying that Jesus (and His disciples) confirmed the covenant for 7 years.
So how did Jesus confirm that He was the Messiah offering a New Covenant?
1. By the testimony,
•Of angels;
•Of John the Baptist;
•Of the wise men;
•Of the disciples;
•Of Moses and Elisha
•Of Pharisees, such as Nicodemus;
•Of the devils that confessed him.
2. By His preaching.
3. By healings, signs and wonders.
4. By His holy life.
5. By His death and blood shed.
6. By His resurrection and ascension.
The ‘Old‘ and ‘New‘ Covenant refer to their confirmation date.
The terms “new” and “old” in regard to the covenant DON’T refer to their creation date; rather, they indicate the order in which they were confirmed.
The Sinai Covenant was confirmed in the Levitical priest system by the daily sacrifice of the lamb for the sins of the people.
The Abraham Covenant was confirmed by Jesus our High Priest, who died on the cross as the sacrificial Lamb of God. So it is referred to as “new.”
Jesus was “cut off”, crucified midway through Daniel’s 70th week.
It is clear from John’s Gospel that our Lord’s ministry was approximately, if not exactly, three and a half years in duration. Hence from His anointing until His death would be “in the midst” of the 70th week.
This is a perfect match with Daniel 9:27, which says “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.”
At the moment of His death, “the veil of the temple was torn in two” (Matthew 27:51).
Why?
Because this act of God signified that all animal sacrifices at that moment ceased to be of value, because the Perfect Sacrifice was offered once and for all. It fulfilled the law and the need for Levite priests to mediate for men!
Because Jesus is the Mediator of the new covenant, so there is no separation between us and God.
By His blood sacrifice, Jesus fulfilled the demands that God made to the Jews in Daniel 9:24:
“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.”
Jesus blood sacrifice covered over the transgressions which were committed under the old covenant, which the blood of bulls and calves could not do. It provided reconciliation for iniquity and brought in everlasting righteousness. It sealed up all Old Testament prophecies which pointed to their coming Messiah.
Paul confirmed this in Hebrews 9:15, “And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance..”
The Holy Spirit testified in Hebrews 10:15-18, “But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.”
When Jesus sealed the covenant of faith He and the Father had delivered to Abraham, the Sinai Covenant ceased to be. It had served its purpose and was finished! As the Son died, the Father, the Author of the Sinai Covenant, reached down and tore open the veil that had separated between Himself and His creation. Now that the old contract was torn up and discarded by the only One who had the authority to annul it – its Author! The barrier between man and God was removed forever!
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, the sacrifice to which all the Jewish festivals and sacrifices pointed, the long awaited Messiah cried out, “It is finished!” The Sinai covenant, with it sacrificial system its rituals and animal sacrifices was fulfilled.
Hebrews 10:11-12 “And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.”
Take away Christ’s place in the middle of the 70th week, and you have taken away the cross of Christ from its prophetic setting!
70 Weeks of Daniel prophecy didn’t bring an end to the Jews being able to be saved, it ended the need for the religion of Judaism and the Old Covenant system, which leads to death.
Jews are blinded to the Gospel and salvation under the new covenant, because they refuse to read the New Testament, so a veil covers their eyes as they read the Old Testament.
What about the last 3 1/2 years of the 70th week of Daniel?
For 3 1/2 years after Jesus death, His disciples continued to preach the Gospel to the Jews.
The crucifixion and resurrection would have been a great testimony to the Jews, to validate that Jesus was the Messiah who was sent to offer them a new covenant.
Acts 2 testifies that many Jews came to believe in Jesus, through the disciples witness, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”
The early Church of Jesus Christ was formed by those of the House of Israel and the House of Judah, who accepted Jesus new covenant.
The 70th Week of Daniel ended when Stephen the Apostle boldly accused the Jewish leaders of killing the prophets and delivering Jesus up to be killed. The Jews responded by stoning Stephen to death.
The coats of Stephens killers were laid at the feet of Saul, who soon became Paul, the Apostle to the Nations (Gentiles).
And from then on, the Gospel was preached to both Jews and Gentiles, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galations 3:28.
The Jewish leaders rejection of Jesus covenant sealed their fate.
After Pilate found Jesus innocent, the Jewish leaders cried out for Him to be crucified and said “His blood be on us and on our children.”
Because of their rejection of Jesus and his New Covenant, their own blood curse fulfilled prophetic words in Daniel 9:26-27, and they were desolated.
The “Prince” in Daniel 9:26 is Jesus, and “the people of the prince,” the Roman army, came as a flood and “destroyed the city and the sanctuary.”
In Luke 19:41-44, as Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time, He lamented that the Jews did not heed Daniel’s 70 week prophecy, which told them exactly when He would come.
“Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
The abomination of desolation does not apply to an end-time Antichrist, it was the Roman army (who was an Abomination to the Jews), who came and desolated the Jews and the temple.
In Matthew 24:15, Jesus warned “when you see the ‘abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place”.
Luke 21:20 clarifies what is the abomination of desolation, “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near.”
The Roman army surrounded the holy place of Jerusalem and “desolated” the Jewish people from 66 – 70 A.D., causing 1.1 million Jews to die from starvation, disease, infighting, crucifixion and by the Roman sword.
This fulfilled the Parable of Wedding Feast, where Jesus New Covenant was offered to the Jews, but they had Jesus and His disciples killed, so God sent His armies to destroy them and their city.
This fulfilled the Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers” where the wicked tenants killed the son of the vineyard owner. When Jesus asked the Jewish leaders what the consequences were, they said “He will destroy those wicked men miserably.”
God’s vengeance for all of the righteous blood came upon this generation, and Jesus had the Roman army destroy them and burn up Jerusalem.
70th week of Daniel deception summary
As you can see, the covenant that is referenced in Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled by the Messiah Jesus, who was ratifying the Abrahamic Covenant of ‘salvation by faith’ with His shed blood.
It is not an end-time antichrist making a peace covenant with Israel, it is Jesus offering His new covenant to the house of Israel and with the house of Judah for 7 years, before it was also offered to the nations (gentiles).
This completely invalidates the framework for an end-times Antichrist making a peace covenant with Israel.
And along with it, it invalidates the concepts of the 7-year tribulation period, the need for a rebuilt Jewish temple, the antichrist desecrating the temple and his 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation.
And if there is no 7-year tribulation period, then the pre-tribulation rapture concept is proven to be a myth.
Friend, I don’t know about you, but when the Lord revealed these truths to me, it broke my heart, as I had been led astray for so many years.
My heart grieves every time I hear a Pastor teaching the wrong interpretation of the 70th Week of Daniel, as I realize how many people blindly trust them.
It is blasphemy to replace the work of Jesus Christ the Messiah, with the Antichrist.
I pray that Christians learn the truth and repent. I pray that Pastors can humble themselves to read this study and learn God’s truth, so that everyone can see how Satan has deceived us, so that we repent and have revival in the truths of the Lord.
I pray that you will share this study with everyone you know, because the end is near and Jesus will return soon, and you need to be alert and prepared, instead of deceived.

This is important to remember:
“70 Weeks of Daniel prophecy didn’t bring an end to the Jews being able to be saved, it ended the need for the religion of Judaism and the Old Covenant system, which leads to death.”
JESUS IS ALL AND EVERYTHING!!
Patti C.
Patti and others, I have only taken this small portion to give a reply or else we'll be on this debate until the Lord comes and there is much more important things to accomplish then to haggle this over and over. My answers in black and original words of your article in blue. gerlinda
Hi Gerlinda,
So sorry to hear that I have tired you out, and you no longer want to hear about this. Hopefully you are not the only one reading and considering all this, and possibly there is someone who is glad to have this presented. So far, I have had very little evidence of that! Ha! But, I am hopeful...
You say you need scriptural proof about the 70th week of Daniel ending with the stoning of Stephen...kinda like "thus ended the 70th week prophesied by Daniel". I, too wish that was there...would make this all very simple!! Does it say anywhere when this ends?
I have to go with the fact that the Lord told Daniel the time determined and He fulfilled it to the very day! Not some man invented timeline with gaps at appropriate places to suit other manmade concepts. If it was not fulfilled as one continuous span of weeks, than it is invalid as "fulfilled prophecy" and the Lord is always right and means what He says!!
And the main thing I just cannot agree with is that Christ and Antichrist share this timeframe as being somehow equal...that to me is absolutely not believable. It is just another lie brought on by the Jesuits and I cannot and will not abide in it.
I appreciate you taking the time to add your observations and study on this issue. Please remember that most of the great preachers and teachers of the
Reformation believed that the 70th week ended when Stephen was stoned to death, I am in good company in this regard.
God bless you Gerlinda, and thanks for at least looking into it, and all your hard work to prove your points.
Humbly,
Your Sister in Christ,

Hi Patti,
Since the hacking incident I have not given out very many people the NEW password.
I have few in pending waiting for them to answer a few questions.
As a side note I have posted your commentaries and posts on the facebook site that has around 770-775 ( the number fluctuates ) followers.
Many are reading the posts and I can say 95% of the comments are thumbs up.
Even though the PreWrath Rapture position is not popular......we are gaining ground haha!
Keep looking up our redemption draws nigh.....
God Bless
Steven
Hi Patti,
A few more points....
My experience in my 17 years of being a Christian.
1.
Most people are not disciplined or motivated to read the bible cover to cover on their own so they are easily deceived.( reading the bible is not easy; it's easier to just let someone tell you what the bible says but GOD will hold us accountable for sharing falsehoods and lies )
2.
The devil 'satan' keeps people busy worrying about what they are going to eat , money , housing and keeping up with the jones. ( I used to be a mortgage broker, financial planner and real estate broker before and during my early years as a Christian )
3.
People do not like admitting that they have made mistakes and are willing to be teachable. ( I used to believe in a 7 year pre tribulation rapture for over 7 years!...I used to believe in santa claus and the easter bunny too! haha)
The 7 year pre tribulation rapture doctrine has FOOLED MANY!!!
(JUST LOOK AT FIVE DOVES) Many there are confused and wondering why the rapture has not happened yet.
Feel free to add to the list but you get my point.
Many will perish for lack of knowledge.
Many will not post because they are too busy! etc you get the idea.
Many DO come to this site but are just here to read and are afraid to post.
God Bless
Steven

Hi all
I am bumping this study, with it's many comments, up in case there are others out there that still have not decided this issue for themselves. A point counter point kind of thing.
Agape!
