The Prophet Daniel, Beloved of God, tested

and true; and worthy to receive and to

handle God’s Holy Word.

The Seventy Week Prophecy is not just

useless, obscure, arcane information forreligious nerds.

It contains exceedingly importantinformation for God’s covenant people.

They will need this knowledge and this

wisdom as they approach the thresholdsat the climax of this age.

The Magi, rulers and wise men from the east, from the

courts of Persia, knew Daniel’s prophecy. They knew the

year in which the Messiah would appear. And so

perhaps forty years before this date they had begun

watching for a sign that the Christ child had been born.

God honored their diligence. When the time of th

incarnation came He gave them a sign. And the sta

led them on to the Christ-Child.

Wise men still seek Him. They still study

and respect His Holy Word.

To do their calculations the magi from the Persian

realms would have used an abacus

But nowadays we can do the

calculations much easier.

Daniel 9:24

Seventy weeksare determined

uponthy people

and upon

thy holy city

1. to finish the transgression,and

2. to make an end of sins,and3. to make reconciliation for iniquity,

and

4. to bring in everlasting righteousness,and

5. to seal up the vision and prophecy,

and6. to anoint the most Holy.

- Dan. 9:25

If we look at the six issues that Daniel’s

Seventy Week Prophecy wraps up and

finalizes we must of necessity come to

this conclusion.

The 70 weeks will terminate with the

second coming of Messiah and the

establishment of His MillennialKingdom here on earth.

Now for the starting gun that begins

this time period of the 70 Weeks (&

69 Wks)of Daniel.

Page 14: 70wks1

 “Know therefore and

understand, that from thegoing forth of the

commandment to restoreand to build Jerusalem …” 

Dan. 9:25 

Page 15: 70wks1

8/11/2019 70wks1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/70wks1 15/33

…”unto the Messiah the Prince shall

be seven weeks (sevens) and 62weeks (sevens).”

7 sevens + 62 sevens= 69 sevens

(of Biblical years)or 69 x 7 = 483 Biblical Years.

Page 16: 70wks1

8/11/2019 70wks1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/70wks1 16/33

So the first 69 Weeks

of those seventy weeks brings us to the

coming of Messiah in what must be a

political appearance as

“the Prince”.

But then the prophecy goes on to say

that He will be “cut off”, or executedand have nothing.

Looking at our starting gun again.

The authority to restore Jerusalem as a sovereign Jewish city-

state was no small matter. It was not just a right of return to

the captives of Judah. The building authority for the Holy City

had to come from the Gentile ruler over the Holy Land.

Page 19: 70wks1

Persia was the superpower throughout thetime of Judah’s returns to the land. Persian

kings authorized the returns underZerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah.

WHICH EDICT FULFILLS THE PROPHECY?

1. The Edict of Cyrus in 537 B.C.?

2. The Edict of Artaxerxes given to

Ezra in 457 B.C.?

3. The Edict of Artaxerxes Longimanus

given to Nehemiah in 445 B.C.?

Nehemiah 2 gives us the only time in which that royal

authority was given for the restoration of Jerusalem as a

sovereign city-state. It was given by Artaxerxes to

Nehemiah, the king’s cup-bearer.

Page 22: 70wks1

8/11/2019 70wks1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/70wks1 22/33

The edict (Neh. 2) was given by the Persian king

Artaxerxes Longinus in his 20th year (445 B.C.) and

during the springtime moon of Nisan.

unto the Messiah the Prince

Page 25: 70wks1

8/11/2019 70wks1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/70wks1 25/33

69 sevens of biblical years or

69 x 7 = 483 biblical years.This is the time-span between

the edict of Artaxerxes and aday in history noteworthy and

auspicious as a day that sees

Messiah the Prince.

Page 26: 70wks1

8/11/2019 70wks1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/70wks1 26/33

So the time span of the 69 weeks goes for 483 x 360 =

173,880 days. As we shall show when we do the math,

these days bridge two epic one day events in holy

history. And they do it exactly!

But that is not all. Both these two one day events

faithfully satisfy the Daniel 9:25 text for the

beginning and ending of the first 69 weeks of the

70 Week Prophecy of Daniel.

So the Edict was issued in Nisan of 445 B C

Page 28: 70wks1

8/11/2019 70wks1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/70wks1 28/33

So the Edict was issued in Nisan of 445 B.C.

From there we count out 483 Biblical (360 day) years. These

360 day years are the currency of prophetic time as issued

from the throne of God.See the “Rosetta stone” for Biblical prophetic time.

It is laid out for us in Revelation 12:6 and 12:14

Here is our math so far.

69 weeks (or sevens) of years

= 69 x 7 = 483 Biblical years (of 360 days)

So our time span for the 69 weeks is= 483 x 360 days = 173,880 days

Page 29: 70wks1

8/11/2019 70wks1

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/70wks1 29/33

173,880 days

This is the number arrivedat by noted evangelical

scholar and Scotland Yard

Inspector, Sir Robert

Anderson. He published hislandmark breakthrough

work on the Seventy Weeks

prophecy during the late

19th Century.
