Dan 2 Vision explained, Daniel 4 vision explained, Daniel 7, Daniel 8 partially explained Dan 9 no vision only explanation.

1. Daniel 9:20-27 - If we read from verse 1-19, there is no vision. 21 - Daniel says he saw Gabriel in a vision, he must be referring to a prior vision. 22 - Gabriel comes to give Daniel skill and understanding. 23 - Gabriel tells Daniel to consider the vision, the vision Daniel had before chapter 9.

2. Daniel 9:24 - 70 weeks are “determined” = chathak - to amputate, to cut off. This is the only time this word is used.

The vision has to have a time element because that is what Gabriel is coming to help him under- stand. Daniel did not understand the 2300 days in Daniel chapter 8. It was a time prophecy and here Gabriel comes and says this time prophecy is cut off from something. The longer time of 2300 days.

In Bible prophecy there is a principle where a day is equal to a year.

3. Numbers 14:34 (Ezekiel 4:6)- day/year principle.

Chart 24 - Six things that need to be done.

4. Daniel 9:25 - Starting point for the 70 weeks, the command to restore and build Jerusalem. Ending point, until Messiah the Prince.

When did the command go forth to restore and build Jerusalem?

5. Ezra 7:7,11,12-26 esp. 24-26 - In the seventh year of Artaxerxes he tells Ezra to return to Jerusalem and restore the temple. 8,9 - Ezra gets to Jerusalem in the fifth month (autumn) when it goes into effect. Autumn of 457 BC.

6. Daniel 9:25 - 457 go forward 483 years = 27 AD. No zero year

Was Christ anointed?

7. Acts 10:38 - Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirt.

At what event was Jesus anointed with the Holy Spirit?

8. Luke 3:21,22,1-3 - Jesus is anointed with the Holy Spirit at His baptism. 1-3: What year was it? The fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, 27 AD.

9. Daniel 9:26 - Sometime after the 62 weeks the Messiah will be cut off, but not for Himself.

10.Isaiah 53:8 - Why was the Messiah cut off? The transgression of His people.

Does that mean He was cut off for Himself? No, He was cut off for His people.

11.Daniel 9:27 - There is one week left, in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifices. At what event did the sacrificial system cease to have meaning? At the cross. 31 AD. (Fall of 27 - fall of 28 - fall 29 - fall 30 + 6 months = spring of 31) Mark 1:14,15 - Jesus begins His ministry, He says, “The time is fulfilled.” He is referring to the 69 weeks. Jesus’ ministry was 3.5 years - based on 4 passovers happening, found by reading the entire book of John.

12.Matthew 27:50,51 - Shekinah glory was hanging on the cross. God tore the curtain to show that the sacrificial system was over. How is it that Jesus, who dies in the middle of the week, can confirm the covenant with many for the entire week?

13.Hebrews 2:3 - At first who came preaching salvation? Jesus. How was it confirmed? By those who heard. It was preached for the last 3.5 years by those who had heard Him teaching.

Jesus of Nazareth IS the promised Messiah.

The Jews were given 490 prophetic days = 490 literal years to spread the gospel and they failed. What happens at the end of the 70 week prophecy?

14.Acts 7:54-8:4 - Those who were scattered went preaching the Word. Fall of 34 AD Stephen is stoned.

15.Acts 22:20,21 - In the fall of 34 AD the Gospel goes to the gentiles. Saul is commanded to take the Gospel to the gentiles.

16. Daniel 8:14 - The 490 was to be cut off from the longer 2300 year prophecy. The judgment be- ginning in 1844 is as sure as Jesus coming on time. The 70 weeks or 490 years were cut off from a longer 2300 year prophecy. 2300-490=1810 34AD plus 1810 takes us to the year 1844 for the cleansing of the sanctuary. The beginning of the judgment.
