Re: Gary Kearney (5 Nov 2008) "re: Jerry Grenough post on Daniel's 70 weeks"

I am not speaking for Jerry, but believe Jerry had built on some of the same

framework I had written on in the past with regard to the 69th week, well

more precisely the 7th week of the 62 + 7, ending in 2015.

If the Rapture of the Saints occurs shortly in 2008 then there could be a 7

year, "tribulation" between this event and the "Second Coming" in 2015.  If

the Rapture occurs sometime after but before 2015 and Jesus returns to rule

in 2015, then this must be the start of the 1,000 year millennium.  The last

week of the 70 weeks, needed to bring in EVERLASTING righteousness, in other

words eternity:

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to

finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make

reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and

to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.  Daniel

9:24

Would have to be after the 1,000 years.  In other words, the "little

season".  This "little season" must be the last week:

And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon

him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years

should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Revelation 20:3

Now, the other option in my mind for building on the same framework of the

70 weeks is that the Rapture is in 2015.  I've not posted on this option

because it is so much in the future, but have mentioned it in an email with

fellow Christian "watchers".  This possibility should appeal to many in that

the modern day fulfillment of the 70 weeks of 360-day years can be put

together in one continuous contiguous series of 62+7+1 years ending with the

Second Coming of Jesus Christ in 2022.       

These are the two frameworks that I see. 

Watching and Waiting.
