Dear jfh:

 

Could you flesh out the 62 weeks?

Does "flesh out" mean to explain? ;o)

 

There are 52 weeks in a year then 10 more weeks of 70 days equals

52 x 7 = 364 + 70 = 434 days of weeks or 62 weeks for his ministry.

One week of 7 days for Passion Week.  62 + 1 = 63 days

7 weeks +1 day to Pentecost 7 x 7 = 49 days

62 + 1 = 63 + 7 = 70 weeks of days

 

434 days

    7 days

  49 days

490 days or 70 weeks and not 490 years

 

So his ministry of 62 weeks, Passion week then 7 weeks plus 1 day to Pentecost when the Holy Spirit fell on the 120 in the Upper Room. Then Peter preached to the crowd and 3,000 were saved on that Day of Pentecost the very year Christ was crucified, arose from the dead and appeared to many for 40 days and gave the command to go into all the world and preach the gospel.

 

Jesus accomplished everything and he even said that "it is finished" and gave up the ghost.  In Revelation the 7th angel also said "it is done".  It's pretty clear reading to me.

 

Thanks.  jfh
