"Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy"


 
John and Doves,

Daniel's  7 weeks prophecy  speaks of the 49 days separating First Fruit and Pentecost because out of the 7 feasts of the Lord's, only First Fruit  and Pentecost  are separated by 7 weeks or simply 49 days. Jesus returns to Jerusalem on First Fruit. A commandment is given forth on this day to build the streets and walls of Jerusalem. 49 days later restoration of  Jerusalem  is complete on Pentecost. This is how Jesus  fulfills Pentecost.

Question is, is Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy inclusive with 2520 days? Or these 49 days is extra days on top of 2520 days? I think I am leaning toward these 49 days are extra days, and is not part of 7 years tribulation. It is because these 49 days is mainly for restoration of Jerusalem after Jesus returns to the city. It can't be part of tribulation during which the Jews are under persecution and suffering. Tribulation for the Jews should be over right after Jesus returns to earth, and restoration of Jerusalem begins immediately. Having said this, I am changing my 2022 to 2029 timeline, with 2023 - 2030 timeline added just in case there is no three shepherds war and rapture in this May or June.

Rapture, May 8 Iyyar 7 2022 ------- 2520 days -------- Second Coming of Jesus Christ, First Fruit April 1 Nisan 16 2029 -------- Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy , Restoration of Jerusalem --------- Pentecost May 20 Sivan 6 2029, End of 1335 days, Blessed is he who comes to this day. An offering is held on this day.

Rapture, Pentecost May 28 Sivan 8 2023 -------- 2520 days -------- Second Coming of Jesus Christ,  First Fruit April 21 Nisan 18 2030 --------- Daniel's 7 weeks prophecy, Restoration of Jerusalem --------- Pentecost June 9 Sivan 8 2030, End of 1335 days, Blessed is he who comes to this day. An offering is held on this day.

2023 - 2030 is more interesting because it points to Pentecost rapture which many Christians are anticipating.
