Connie, this is where they get the 7-year tribulation.

 

Daniel 9:24-27 "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. [25] Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. [26] And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince [Titus] that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. [27] And he [Jesus] shall confirm the [New] 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."

 

    They count 70 weeks of weeks, which add up to 490 weeks.  I think that means 70 weeks of days, which add up to 490 days or 70 weeks of 7 days each.  Jesus began his ministry and 62 weeks later he was brought to the sandrehin for examination.  That 63rd week he was crucified in the midst.  It was 7 weeks later plus 1 day that we have Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came down and filled the 120 in the Upper Room.  That completes all the 70 weeks or 490 days.  He's already made a New Covenant with the many and brought Salvation to all that will believe. 

 

    I'm a "whosoever".  How 'bout you.  jfh
