"Daniel's Covenant With Many"


 
Daniel 9:27 KJV " 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."
 
What about the New Covenant that Jesus brought with his crucifixion and
resurrection?  He was crucified in the midst of the 63rd week and 7 weeks  
later the Holy Spirit descended on the 120 in the Upper Room at Pentecost.
That just happens to be 70 weeks of days. 
 
Daniel 9:24 KJV "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."
 
It just says 70 weeks [of days?!]: not 70 weeks of weeks, which would be 490 years. 
Passion Week ended with His resurrection and that was accepted and brought
to all believer's in Jesus as the Son of God, and very God, SALVATION
 
He said; If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.  He told the unbelieving
Jews that Abraham was NOT their father, but Satan was. When Jesus came
the first time the gospel went out to all the world but it came first to Abraham's
children with the first and Old Covenant, but the New Covenant came to all the world.
 
It was 40 years later that the Temple was burned and 66 years after that the Jews
were banished from Jerusalem.
 
So, Jesus made a New Covenant with the many believer's when he arose from
the dead early in the morning of the 1st day of the week that was the third day,
which we call Easter.
 
Well, Hallelujah! That's my take on this subject.  JFH
