Transcript The Edict and Chronology of Daniel’s Prophecy of the

G’day and welcome to this
study. This is part four in a
series on Daniel’s Prophecy
of the Seventy Weeks. In
this video we are going to
calculate out the 69 weeks
or 69 sevens of years.

This is a video presentation
of the 70 weeks prophecy.
There are about a dozen
articles on this subject
over at the website
EndTimePilgrim.org
So the Seventy Weeks prophecy
given to us in four verses in Daniel 9
when it is faithfully interpreted
is going to allow the covenant
people of God to do some
calculations and to know when to
expect the arrival of their Messiah.
The terminus of the 69 weeks
will give them the arrival time
for the First Coming of their
Messiah.
And the terminus of the future
70th Week will give them the
arrival time for the Second
Coming of Messiah.

70th Week of Daniel
We are told in Daniel 9 that
Daniel’s prayer which led
to the angelic visitation and
the the Seventy weeks
Prophecy came in the first
year of Darius.

Year
of Darius,
538 B.C.
We are also told in Daniel 6
that the there was a time
when the prayers and
intercessions Daniel offered
up angered his fellow
governors greatly and this
was also during the reign of
Darius.
Daniel’s prayers and
intercessions on this
occasion caused him
to be cast into the
den of lions.
If we think about it this lion’s
den incident probably came
quite early in the two year
reign of Darius the Mede,
(uncle to Cyrus), when the
governors were being
assigned their posts in the
new Medo-Persian regime.
So it is quite possible that this
politically incorrect prayer that
Daniel offered up in a
governmental institution on that
occasion which caused him to be
thrown into the den of lions may
have been the prayer we
see in Daniel 9, the very same
prayer that brought us the
Seventy Weeks prophecy
So what is this message
that the principalities and
powers and denizens
of darkness want so
desperately to prevent us
from receiving?
“Know therefore and
understand, that from
the going forth of the
commandment to
restore and to build
Jerusalem …”
So we are looking for a
royal decree or a
commandment which
authorized the returning
exiles to do this.
Rebuilt the gates and
the walls of Jerusalem.
“...…unto the
Messiah the Prince
shall be 7 weeks
(7 sevens) plus
62 weeks (62 sevens).”
- Dan. 9:25

Sir Isaac Newton spent half is
lifetime researching the Seventy
Weeks prophecy. We are going to
look into this in a future video
because his work has been hidden
and has only recently come out.
Newton used solar years of 365.25
days and the decree of Ezra in his
unsuccessful attempts to calculate
the Seventy Weeks Prophecy.

-------------------Are they years of

As we showed in the previous
video on Biblical or Prophetic
Time the Holy Scriptures present
us with two Rosetta Stones for
Biblical Time.
Two Rosetta Stones in Holy Scripture
The Biblical Month
The Biblical Year
Genesis 7 - 8
Revelation 12
Biblical Month
Biblical Year
= 30 days
360 days
The first was back during
the flood of Noah and it
gives us the Biblical
month as 30 days.
5 months = 150 days
The Biblical Month = 30 days
The other is the vision John
saw in Revelation 12 which
showcases the flight and exile
of the woman, God’s covenant
people, during the final
3.5 years or 1260 days
of this age. This is
the latter half of Daniel’s
future 70th Week,
Rev. 12: The Flight and Exile of the Woman
to a place of nurturing for a period of time.
3.5 years = 1260 days
Revelation 12:6
Then the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she has a
place prepared by God, that
they should feed her there
one thousand two hundred
and sixty days.
Revelation 12:14
But the woman was given two
wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness
to her place,
where she is nourished
for a time and times
and half a time, from the
presence of the serpent.

So there we have our
second Rosetta Stone for
Biblical time. It confirms
for us that the Biblical
Year is a perfect number
of 360 days.
The 2nd Rosetta Stone
for Biblical / Prophetic Time
Is found in Revelation 12
1260 days
------------ =
360 days
3.5 years (Biblical year)
One Biblical Year = 360 Days
Using this 360 day year
Sir Robert Anderson
was able to lay out a
superbly accurate
timeline for the first 69
weeks of Daniels
Prophecy of the
Seventy Weeks.
OK,
we’ve rambled long enough.
Lets cut to the chase and
calculate the 69 weeks.
7 weeks + 62 weeks
= 69 weeks
A “week” is a “seven” (Heb.)
7 “sevens” + 62 “sevens”
= 69 “sevens” of years
69 “Sevens” of
Biblical Years
or 69 x 7
= 483
Biblical Years
The math on the 69 weeks
The 483 Years are Biblical Years
One Biblical year = 360 days
483 x 360 = 173,880 days
So The 69 weeks
= 173,880
days
From the Edict
to
“Messiah the Prince”
173,880 days
69 “sevens”
The
Edict
Messiah
the Prince
The Magi made it
there business to
look into the
prophecies of
Daniel.
And they did their
homework faithfully
in the fear and
the love of God.
How about us?
Well, let’s get on with it,
shall we?
The math on the 69 weeks
69 weeks
=
173,880 days
173,880 days
Divided by
365.2422
(days in a year)
= 476.0677 solar years
476.0677 (solar) years
= 476 Years plus
0.0677 x 365.2422 days
= 476 years
+ 24.7 days
69 Weeks / 69 “Sevens”
= 173,880 days
= 476 calendar years
+ 25 days
From the Edict to
Messiah the Prince”
476 solar years
plus 25 days
The
Edict
Messiah
the Prince
At the end of the 69 weeks Messiah is “cut
off” or “executed” and will nave nothing.
Now we come to an
interesting possibility.
Daniel reports that
he was praying and
interceding for God’s
covenant people in
the first year of Darius.
The Magi, (and there were
probably dozens if not hundreds
of them), travelled in from
Mesopotamia and regions in the
east. Groups of them travelled to
Jerusalem over a period of some
years looking for the Christ child.
They were not the occultists we
see presented in books or in the
movie theater.
