The Vision
8
Daniel 924-27
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.
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. And after threescore and
two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
himself and the people of the prince 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. 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.

• Ezra 711-28 Now this is the copy of the letter
  that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the
  priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of
  the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes
  to Israel. Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra
  the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of
  heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time.
• I make a decree, that all they of the people of
  Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my
  realm, which are minded of their own freewill to
  go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.

Seventy Weeks Are Determined
54
To finish the transgression

• I have glorified thee on the earth I have
  finished the work which thou gavest me to do. --
  John 174
• For the law having a shadow of good things to
  come, and not the very image of the things, can
  never with those sacrifices which they offered
  year by year continually make the comers
  thereunto perfect For it is not possible that
  the blood of bulls and of goats should take away
  sins But this man, after he had offered one
  sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the
  right hand of God For by one offering he hath
  perfected for ever them that are sanctified And
  their sins and iniquities will I remember no
  more Now where remission of these is, there is
  no more offering for sin Let us draw near with a
  true heart in full assurance of faith, having our
  hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our
  bodies washed with pure water. -- Hebrews 101-22

55
To make an end of sins

• And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt
  call his name JESUS for he shall save his people
  from their sins. --Matthew 121
• Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin
  of the world. -- John 129
• And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn
  thee go, and sin no more. -- John 811

56
To make reconciliation for iniquity

• Having made peace through the blood of his cross,
  by him to reconcile all things unto himself...
  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies
  in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he
  reconciled Colossians 120-21
• Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made
  like unto his brethren, that he might be a
  merciful and faithful high priest in things
  pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the
  sins of the people. -- Heb 217

57
To bring in everlasting righteousness

• By the righteousness of one the free gift came
  upon all men unto justification of life. so by
  the obedience of one shall many be made
  righteous. -- Rom 518-19
• Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on
  the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should
  live unto righteousness -- 1Peter 224

58
To seal up the vision and prophecy

• But those things, which God before had shewed by
  the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should
  suffer, he hath so fulfilled. --Acts 318
• Search the scriptures for in them ye think ye
  have eternal life and they are they which
  testify of me. -- John 539

59
To anoint the most Holy

• God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
  Ghost and with power who went about doing good,
  and healing all that were oppressed of the devil
  for God was with him. -- Acts 1038
• The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he
  hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the
  poor he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
  to preach deliverance to the captives, and
  recovering of sight to the blind, to set at
  liberty them that are bruised And he began to
  say unto them, This day is this scripture
  fulfilled in your ears. -- Luke 418-21

60
The other prince
61

• And the people of the prince that shall come
  shall destroy the city and the sanctuary

62
Titus Flavius Vespasianus
Titus was the elder son of the Roman emperor
Vespasian and Domitilla the Elder. Titus
accompanied his father, Vespasian, to the east in
AD 67 to put down the Jewish Rebellion. In AD 69,
the Year of the Four Emperors, Vespasian returned
to Rome to claim the throne, and left Titus
behind to put down the rebellion, which he did in
AD 70 with four legions. Jerusalem was sacked
the Temple was destroyed and much of the
population was killed or dispersed.
63

• And the end thereof shall be with a flood, and
  unto the end of the war desolations are determined

AD 70, Destruction of Jerusalem
66
Flavius Josephus

• Former Jewish commander
• Roman historian
• Personal witness to the destruction of Jerusalem

67
During the long siege a terrible famine raged in
the city and the bodies of the inhabitants were
literally stacked like cordwood in the streets.
Mothers ate their children to preserve their own
strength To give a detailed account of their
outrageous conduct is impossible, but we may sum
it up by saying that no other city has ever
endured such horrors, and no generation in
history has fathered such wickedness. --
Flavius Josephus
68
Jesus Prophesy regarding Temple

• And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple
  and his disciples came to him for to shew him the
  buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto
  them, See ye not all these things? verily I say
  unto you, There shall not be left here one stone
  upon another, that shall not be thrown down. --
  Matthew 241-2

When at last the walls were breached Titus tried
to preserve the Temple by giving orders to his
soldiers not to destroy or burn it. But the anger
of the soldiers against the Jews was so intense
that, maddened by the resistance they
encountered, they disobeyed the order of their
general and set fire to the Temple. There were
great quantities of gold and silver there which
had been placed in the Temple for safekeeping.
This melted and ran down between the rocks and
into the cracks of the stones. When the soldiers
captured the Temple area, in their greed to
obtain this gold and silver they took long bars
and pried apart the massive stones. Thus, quite
literally, not one stone was left standing upon
another. The Temple itself was totally destroyed,
though the wall supporting the area upon which
the Temple was built was left partially intact
and a portion of it remains to this day, called
the Western Wall. -- Flavius Josephus
72
Western Wall (Wailing Wall)
73
The desolate
74

• And for the overspreading of abominations he
  shall make it desolate, even until the
  consummation, and that determined shall be poured
  upon the desolate.

75

• O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the
  prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto
  thee, how often would I have gathered thy
  children together, even as a hen gathereth her
  chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. --
  Matthew 2337-38

76
The Dome of the Rock
77
The New Jerusalem
78

• And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
  coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a
  bride adorned for her husband. -- Rev 212
• Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
  temple of my God, and he shall go no more out
  and I will write upon him the name of my God, and
  the name of the city of my God, which is new
  Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from
  my God -- Rev 312

79

• For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly
  neither is that circumcision, which is outward in
  the flesh -- Rom 228
