Podcasts about 70 weeks

Get ready for an intriguing study on the 70 weeks of Daniel! While 69 of these weeks have already transpired, there's one week that's not accounted for, as it will take place in the future. Pastor James Kaddis will spend the bulk of our time discussing this 70th week, and by the end of our time you'll be able to say with confidence, “Jesus could come at any moment!” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Romig addresses the urgency of our times by exploring biblical prophecy, focusing on Daniel chapter 9. He traces how Daniel's “seventy sevens” prophecy was accurately fulfilled up to the coming of Jesus, but emphasizes that the final seven years remain as a future event, commonly identified as the Great Tribulation. Pastor Chris highlights that while some believe this prophecy was fulfilled in ancient times, both the biblical timeline and Jesus' teaching suggest otherwise—a future period involving Israel, a rebuilt temple, and a deceptive world leader is still to come. He connects these ancient prophecies to current events in the Middle East, reassuring listeners that God is in control. The message ends with an invitation to faith, reminding believers that those who trust in Christ can rest in God's promises and need not fear the future, because they are secure in the hands of a loving Father.

In Daniel nine we read of the 70 weeks of Daniel. Each week is a seven- year period, and 69 have already happened. That leaves one seven-year period remaining. And today pastor James Kaddis examines it carefully. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1459/29

Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to "keep the law" as a Christian? This thought-provoking discussion ventures into one of Christianity's most persistent theological questions, examining the relationship between faith, grace, and the law.The conversation begins with a seemingly simple question that quickly reveals deep theological divisions among believers. As panel members share their understanding of what it means to "keep the law," we witness firsthand the confusion that can arise when fundamental concepts like covenant, salvation, and faith become muddled.A powerful clarity emerges as the discussion progresses. "We are either under the law or we are under grace," one speaker declares, cutting through theological complexity with biblical precision. The panel explores how many Christians struggle with legalism—the belief that salvation requires obedience to Old Testament laws—and how this undermines the finished work of Christ.The most profound moment arrives when a speaker firmly states: "Faith is in Jesus Christ alone. Faith is not obedience to any law of any kind. Never has been, never will be." This declaration serves as an anchor point, realigning the entire conversation with the core gospel message.For anyone who has wrestled with questions about what God expects of believers today, this episode offers refreshing clarity. You'll discover how Christ's death addresses the punishment we deserve while his resurrection provides reconciliation with God—a complete work that sets us free from condemnation.Whether you're a new believer confused about the role of Old Testament laws or a seasoned Christian seeking deeper understanding of covenant theology, this conversation will help you appreciate the beautiful simplicity of salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textThe prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27 has become the cornerstone of dispensational eschatology—the theological system that predicts a seven-year tribulation, a pre-tribulation rapture, an Antichrist figure, and a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. But what if these widely-taught beliefs aren't actually found in the text?This eye-opening examination reveals how four simple verses have been transformed into an elaborate end-times narrative through interpretation rather than direct reading. We unpack each verse, demonstrating that nowhere does Daniel mention an Antichrist, a seven-year tribulation period, or a pre-tribulational rapture. These concepts have been overlaid onto the text rather than extracted from it.When Jesus referenced Daniel's prophecy in Matthew 24, He specifically stated "let the reader understand," indicating this prophecy wasn't meant to be cryptic or confusing. God's Word was written to be accessible to ordinary believers, not just scholars or academics. The Holy Spirit guides believers into truth when approaching Scripture with sincerity.We explore the six specific purposes mentioned in Daniel 9:24—finishing transgression, ending sins, making reconciliation for iniquity, bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing vision and prophecy, and anointing the most holy. These objectives are clearly directed toward "your people" (Israel) and "your holy city" (Jerusalem), establishing the boundaries of proper interpretation.The fundamental question emerges: have these six purposes been fulfilled in Christ's first coming, or do they await future fulfillment? The answer shapes our entire understanding of biblical prophecy and end-times theology. By allowing Scripture to interpret Scripture rather than imposing external systems onto the text, we discover a more coherent and faithful understanding of what Daniel was truly prophesying.Join us as we challenge conventional wisdom, examine the biblical text closely, and recover the original meaning of this critical prophecy. Whether you're new to biblical prophecy or have studied it for years, this fresh perspective will transform how you understand not only Daniel but the entire narrative of redemptive history.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textDaniel 9:24 presents an extraordinary prophetic framework that has divided biblical scholars for centuries. At the heart of this prophecy lies six critical elements destined to be fulfilled during the seventy weeks: finishing the transgression, making an end of sins, reconciling iniquity, bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing vision and prophecy, and anointing the most holy. But when exactly were these things accomplished?A compelling case exists that these prophecies found their complete fulfillment in Jesus Christ and His finished work at Calvary. The nation of Israel's ultimate transgression culminated in crucifying their Messiah—precisely as Jesus had foretold when He instructed the Pharisees to "fulfill the fullness of your iniquity." At that same cross, Christ made an end of sins, not by eliminating sin's presence but by forever removing its eternal penalty for believers. Through His death, resurrection and ascension, reconciliation between God and His people was established, everlasting righteousness was imputed to believers, prophetic revelation was sealed with Scripture's completion, and Christ Himself—the most holy—was anointed.This understanding fundamentally challenges popular interpretations that position Daniel's seventy weeks as pointing toward future tribulations, antichrists, or millennial kingdoms. When we recognize that these prophecies have already been fulfilled in Christ, we're freed from speculative end-times scenarios and drawn back to Scripture's central message: the sufficiency of Christ's completed work. True spiritual growth doesn't come through claimed supernatural abilities or fresh revelations but through the miracle of faith itself—believing in Christ, turning from sin, and allowing Scripture's truths to transform our understanding through the Holy Spirit's illumination.What perspective will you embrace? A Christ-centered fulfillment of prophecy or an expectation of future scenarios? Your answer profoundly shapes how you understand not just Daniel's prophecy, but the entire redemptive story of Scripture.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textThe profound yet often overlooked meaning of "Christ" offers a key that unlocks our understanding of biblical prophecy. When we call Jesus "Christ," we're literally acknowledging Him as "the Anointed One"—directly connecting Him to Daniel's prophecy about anointing the Most Holy.Through careful examination of Scripture, we discover overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ has already fulfilled Daniel 9:24. From His own declaration in Luke 4 that "the Spirit of the Lord has anointed me," to Peter's confirmation in Acts 10 that "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power," the New Testament consistently portrays Jesus as the divinely anointed Messiah prophesied by Daniel.This understanding demands we reconsider popular end-times frameworks. If Daniel's 70 weeks have already been fulfilled through Christ's first coming, death, and resurrection, then interpretations requiring a future seven-year tribulation period collapse. The physical anointing Jesus received before His burial—which He explicitly connected to His coming death—serves as a powerful symbol of His status as the Most Holy who was anointed.Most beautifully, this anointing extends to all believers. As Paul writes, God "establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us." Just as the Shekinah glory filled the temple in the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit now dwells within believers who are in Christ. We aren't merely recipients of Christ's teaching—we're participants in His anointing, incorporated into His body through faith.What difference does this make? Everything. Rather than waiting for some future fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy, we can celebrate its completion in Christ and our inclusion in His kingdom that has already begun. The gospel becomes not merely a message about personal salvation, but the announcement that God's prophetic promises have been fulfilled in Jesus, the true Anointed One.Challenge yourself to reexamine familiar passages with fresh eyes. Connect the dots between Daniel's prophecy and Christ's completed work. The truth might surprise you—and transform how you understand God's redemptive plan.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textThe modern fascination with rebuilding a third temple in Jerusalem reveals a profound misunderstanding about the nature of Christ's completed work. This thought-provoking conversation challenges popular dispensational theology that promotes temple rebuilding efforts and animal sacrifices as necessary precursors to Christ's return.When Jesus declared "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up," He wasn't speaking about a stone building but about His own body. This revolutionary statement transforms our understanding of God's dwelling place. No longer confined to temples made with hands, God now dwells within believers themselves.The participants explore why supporting temple rebuilding projects contradicts core Christian beliefs. Such efforts effectively undermine Christ's finished work and risk falling into the trap Paul warned against: "If I build up again what I tore down, I make myself a transgressor." The discussion addresses the troubling practice of Christian ministries soliciting donations for temple rebuilding efforts in Israel.The conversation tackles challenging questions: Why did Jewish sacrifices cease after Christ if they didn't believe He was the Messiah? What happens when Christians place their hope in physical locations rather than spiritual realities? How did Jesus shift our understanding of worship when He told the Samaritan woman that true worship happens "neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem"?For those questioning dispensational teachings or wondering about the theological implications of third temple prophecies, this discussion offers clarity through careful biblical analysis. Christ fulfilled what no physical temple could accomplish. His body is the true temple, torn down and rebuilt in three days—the only temple that matters is Christ himself.What's your understanding of Christ's role as the final temple? Have you encountered teachings about temple rebuilding that left you with questions?

Send us a textWhat if everything you thought about biblical prophecy has been fundamentally misunderstood? This provocative conversation challenges popular dispensationalist theology by examining a simple yet profound question: Has salvation always been acquired the same way throughout history?The discussion centers on Daniel 9:24 and its six prophetic statements about "making an end to sins," "making reconciliation for iniquity," and "bringing in everlasting righteousness." While dispensationalism places these fulfillments in a future tribulation period, we explore compelling evidence that Christ's work on the cross has already accomplished these things—challenging the entire dispensationalist framework.Most troubling about dispensationalism is its inconsistency. As one participant notes, "If you talk to two different dispensationalists, you'll get two different perspectives." This stands in stark contrast to Scripture's unified message and creates artificial divisions between Israel and the church despite biblical teaching that Christ "took that wall down."Perhaps the most practical concern emerges when discussing tribulation. Many Christians today believe they'll escape suffering through a pre-tribulation rapture, but this raises serious questions: Why would today's believers avoid what countless Christians throughout history endured? As one participant powerfully states: "Christians were born again to go through tribulation, not to avoid it. We weren't built by God to avoid it. We were built to trust him to carry us through it."Understanding prophecy correctly matters because it dramatically impacts how we live today. The peace Christians maintain amid difficult circumstances doesn't come from believing we'll escape tribulation, but from knowing the God who walks through it with us. Join us as we examine how Scripture's unified message transforms our perspective on faith, suffering, and Christ's finished work.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textDaniel 9:24-25 contains one of Scripture's most profound prophecies, detailing "seventy weeks" determined for Israel during which six specific outcomes would be accomplished. But when exactly were these prophecies fulfilled, and what does that mean for our understanding of end times?This deep dive into Daniel's seventieth week confronts the pivotal question: Did Christ fulfill these prophecies at His first coming, or do they await future fulfillment? Our exploration reveals how your answer fundamentally shapes your entire eschatological framework, potentially eliminating the necessity for a future seven-year tribulation period so commonly taught in popular theology.We focus particularly on the remarkable concept of "everlasting righteousness" and how it connects to the theological principle of imputation. Like an accounting transaction, Christ's perfect righteousness is credited to our account while our sin debt is placed on Him. This divine ledger shows our debt as "paid in full" – a transaction that's complete, irreversible, and eternal.This understanding directly challenges theological positions suggesting salvation can be lost. If Christ has imputed "everlasting righteousness" to believers, how could that righteousness cease to be everlasting? Some participants wrestle with this concept, wondering if continued faithfulness is required to maintain this righteousness, while others argue that such conditions would undermine the very meaning of "everlasting."Whether you're wrestling with questions about eternal security, curious about biblical prophecy, or seeking a deeper understanding of Christ's finished work, this conversation provides thought-provoking perspectives on how we receive and retain the righteousness Christ secured for us.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textDive into one of Christianity's most profound mysteries: can a true believer ever lose their salvation? Our panel of theology enthusiasts tackles this question with remarkable clarity, examining the nature of Christ's righteousness and how it's applied to believers.The conversation distinguishes between positional and practical Christianity—how we stand before God versus how we live daily. As one participant powerfully states, "If it were possible for me to fall from salvation, to lose the righteousness I've been given—if it's up to me to maintain that righteousness—I would never keep it." This sentiment captures the heart of grace-based salvation that many believers struggle to fully embrace.We explore Matthew 6:33's command to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness," emphasizing that crucial possessive pronoun—it's His righteousness we receive, not our own we establish through works. This distinction revolutionizes how we understand our standing before God.The discussion takes an unexpected turn as we examine the kingdom of God, challenging the common belief that God's kingdom is exclusively a future reality. Jesus clearly taught the kingdom was present in His ministry and continues today: "The kingdom is at hand"—not thousands of years in the future, but right now, with Christ currently "ruling and reigning until all enemies are put underneath his feet."Perhaps most comforting is our exploration of biblical peace—not merely absence of worry, but a fundamental change in our relationship with God. We were at war with Him through our sin, but Christ's work brings permanent reconciliation. As one participant beautifully explains, "It's not a temporary ceasefire; God has ended the war."Join us for this transformative conversation that will deepen your understanding of grace, righteousness, and the present reality of God's kingdom.The Balance of GrayGod, doubt, and proof walk into a podcast... it goes better than you'd expect!Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Send us a textWhat if everything we've been taught about Daniel's prophecy has missed the mark? This riveting conversation dives deep into Daniel 9:24 and challenges popular end-times interpretations by revealing how Jesus perfectly fulfilled every element of this ancient prophecy.Starting with the prophet's words about "finishing transgression" and "making reconciliation for iniquity," we explore how Christ's declaration "It is finished" marked the completion of these prophetic elements. Through carefully examining passages from Isaiah and Jeremiah, the discussion reveals the incredible significance of Jesus as our "righteousness" - a title prophesied centuries before His birth.Perhaps the most fascinating revelation comes through examining why Jesus needed to be virgin born. When God cut off the kingly line through Coniah, declaring none of his descendants would rule on David's throne again, it created a divine problem: how could the Messiah come from David's line if it was cursed? The answer lies in the virgin birth, which gave Jesus both birthright (through Mary) and legal right (through Joseph) to the throne - a masterstroke of divine wisdom that perfectly fulfilled seemingly contradictory prophecies.This conversation doesn't just clarify ancient texts; it transforms our understanding of God's redemptive plan. By setting aside traditional interpretations and approaching Scripture with fresh eyes, we discover a richer, more coherent theology that centers on Christ's completed work rather than speculative future scenarios.Whether you're a seasoned student of prophecy or just beginning to explore these topics, you'll come away with a deeper appreciation for how meticulously God orchestrated every detail of salvation history.

Send us a textThe concept of the temple stands as one of Scripture's most powerful symbols, yet countless believers today have been misled about its true meaning. In this provocative and enlightening discussion, we strip away centuries of confusion surrounding temple prophecy to reveal what Jesus Himself declared: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."While modern dispensationalism has Christians anxiously awaiting a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, we explore the revolutionary truth that Jesus Christ is Himself the rebuilt temple that fulfills all Old Testament prophecies. More shocking still—you are part of that temple too. As living stones built on the foundation of apostles and prophets, believers constitute God's dwelling place on earth.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we examine Daniel's seventy weeks prophecy, particularly the six elements that would mark its fulfillment: finishing transgression, ending sin, reconciliation for iniquity, bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing vision and prophecy, and anointing the most holy. When viewed through Christ's completed work, these prophetic elements reveal something radically different than what many popular teachers claim.We also tackle the painful reality many sincere believers face: where do you go when churches themselves have fallen into confusion? One participant's journey from Catholicism to spiritual homelessness resonates deeply as we discuss the challenge of finding true biblical teaching in a landscape of denominational chaos.This conversation will challenge your preconceptions, strengthen your understanding of Scripture, and perhaps most importantly, fill you with renewed appreciation for Christ's declaration that something "greater than the temple is here." Study God's Word for yourself and discover the freedom that comes from embracing the true temple—Christ in you, the hope of glory.Support the show

Send us a textDaniel 9 contains a prophecy that has sparked endless debate and shaped much of modern Christian understanding about the end times. But what if our popular interpretations have missed the mark? This episode takes you on an eye-opening journey through the "70 Weeks Prophecy" that birthed concepts like the seven-year tribulation, pre-tribulation rapture, and an earthly millennial kingdom.We begin by examining the origins of dispensationalism—a theological system developed by John Nelson Darby and popularized through Scofield's Reference Bible in the 1800s. This framework divides biblical history into distinct dispensations and controversially suggests salvation worked differently in each era. Through thoughtful dialogue, we challenge this premise by exploring whether Old Testament believers were saved differently than New Testament Christians.The heart of our conversation centers on a crucial question: Is Christ's return truly imminent? If dispensational interpretations of Daniel 9 are correct, then numerous prophetic events must occur before Christ can return—making His coming far from imminent. But if these prophecies were fulfilled in Christ's first advent, everything changes. We present a compelling case that nothing in biblical prophecy prevents Jesus from returning tonight.Perhaps most powerfully, we connect these theological matters to God's sovereign plan of redemption. Could it be that the world continues only until the last of God's elect is brought into His kingdom? This perspective transforms how we understand both biblical prophecy and our daily Christian walk.Whether you're well-versed in eschatology or just beginning to explore these topics, this episode offers fresh insights that will challenge your thinking and deepen your appreciation for God's redemptive plan across the ages. Listen now and discover why the object of our faith—the Messiah—has always been the same from Genesis to Revelation.Support the show

Send us a textThe prophecies of the Old Testament aren't scattered puzzle pieces pointing to various future events—they form a cohesive portrait of Jesus Christ and His redemptive work. This profound revelation emerged during our exploration of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy, arguably one of the most misunderstood and overanalyzed passages in Scripture.We begin by establishing a crucial foundation: all 300+ Old Testament prophecies point directly to Christ and His first coming. This isn't merely theological preference, but a recognition of Scripture's internal consistency. When we approach Daniel 9:24-27 through this lens, the implications are transformative for how we understand biblical prophecy.The numerical precision of Daniel's prophecy is striking—70 weeks representing 490 years, mirroring the 70-year Babylonian captivity that preceded it. But what's most revealing are the six specific accomplishments that would mark the completion of these weeks: finishing transgression, ending sin, reconciliation for iniquity, bringing everlasting righteousness, sealing up vision and prophecy, and anointing the most holy. These aren't descriptions of end-time events but the completed work of Christ.What you won't find in this passage is any explicit mention of a "tribulation period"—a startling revelation for many who have built eschatological frameworks on this very text. The "troublous times" referenced specifically describe Jerusalem's rebuilding before Christ's arrival, not future tribulation. This textual precision matters immensely when constructing theological frameworks.Join us as we peel back layers of traditional interpretation to discover the Christ-centered heart of prophecy. Understanding these ancient words correctly doesn't diminish their relevance but enhances it—showing how God's redemptive plan has always been focused on Jesus, making His Word eternally relevant for every believer in every age.Have you considered how a Christ-centered approach to prophecy might transform your understanding of Scripture?

Send us a textWhat if everything you thought you knew about Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy was incomplete? This thought-provoking episode challenges conventional dispensationalist interpretations by asking a simple yet profound question: What does it mean to "finish the transgression," and has this prophecy already been fulfilled?Through an energetic and sometimes passionate discussion, we unpack the biblical timeline that points to Christ's crucifixion as the ultimate transgression—the moment when wicked hands put the innocent Son of God on the cross. "There is no greater sin ever done at the hands of men," as one participant powerfully states. This understanding reshapes how we interpret prophetic timelines and challenges the notion of a future tribulation period that would somehow surpass the evil of Calvary.We examine the mathematical precision of Daniel's prophecy, showing how Jesus began His ministry at age 30, preached for approximately three and a half years, and was crucified "in the midst of the week" around age 33—exactly as prophesied. The connection between Christ confirming the covenant with His blood and bringing an end to sacrifice and offering in the middle of the 70th week presents a compellingly coherent interpretation without requiring a 2,000+ year gap in the timeline.The conversation transcends mere academic discussion to spotlight the magnificence of Christ's fulfillment of prophecy. When we understand that "when there's a change of priesthood, there's a change of law," we see how Jesus' perfect sacrifice as our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek established a new covenant that forever changed humanity's relationship with God.Whether you're a seasoned Bible student or just curious about biblical prophecy, this episode will challenge you to reconsider familiar passages with fresh eyes. Join us as we explore how Christ's work on the cross may have already fulfilled what many still place in our future.Support the show

Send us a textThe 70 Weeks of Daniel remains one of Scripture's most misunderstood prophecies, often twisted to support end-times theories that have no biblical basis. This eye-opening examination cuts through centuries of speculation to reveal the straightforward fulfillment that occurred at Christ's first coming.Daniel's prophecy outlines six specific accomplishments: finishing transgression, ending sin, making reconciliation for iniquity, bringing everlasting righteousness, sealing prophecy, and anointing the Most Holy. Each element finds perfect fulfillment in Jesus Christ's ministry, death, and resurrection—no future fulfillment required.We dive deep into Matthew 23 where Jesus himself connects the dots, telling the religious leaders they would "fill up the measure" of their fathers' guilt. This culmination of Israel's rebellion reached its terrible apex at Calvary, as 1 Thessalonians 2:15-16 confirms they "killed the Lord Jesus" to "fill up the measure of their sins."The study confronts the popular but unbiblical notion of a future seven-year tribulation, challenging listeners to find even one verse explicitly mentioning such a concept. Instead, Scripture consistently points to Christ's first coming as the defining moment of human history to which all prophecy points.Through examining passages in Hebrews, Isaiah, and throughout the Gospels, we discover how Jesus perfectly fulfilled every aspect of Daniel's prophecy. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us—not returning void but accomplishing exactly what God intended from before the foundation of the world.Whether you've struggled with understanding prophecy or simply want deeper insight into God's redemptive timeline, this episode will strengthen your confidence in Scripture's cohesive message centered on Christ.

Send us a textThe profound mystery of God's sovereignty stands at the heart of this theological exploration. When His word goes forth, it accomplishes exactly what He intends—sometimes bringing salvation, other times hardening hearts for judgment. As one participant powerfully states, "God is sovereign, and when his word goes out, it either softens or hardens, and whichever it does is exactly what he intended it to do."We tackle the challenging question of God's fairness, examining what true divine justice would look like without grace. If God were purely "fair" by human standards, Adam and Eve would have been "dusted in the garden," and humanity's story would have ended right there. This realization helps us understand that questioning God's fairness often means placing ourselves as judge over Him—essentially repeating the original sin of determining good and evil through our own eyes.The conversation moves to Daniel's seventy-weeks prophecy, particularly focusing on what it means to "make an end of sins." Though people clearly continue to sin daily, Christ's death on the cross ended sin's power and penalty for believers. What makes His crucifixion unlike any other was not just His sinless nature or voluntary sacrifice, but His divine identity. "If Christ was not deity, His death would have been no different than anyone else's." The marks of His sacrifice remain on His glorified body as eternal testimony to the price paid for our redemption.Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that will challenge you to reconsider how you view God's justice, sovereignty, and the magnificent mystery of salvation through Christ. How does understanding God's absolute holiness change your perspective on His grace toward you?Support the show

Send us a textThe blood of Christ stands at the center of Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy—a profound revelation that completely transforms how we understand biblical prophecy. While popular end-times theories have twisted this passage to support a future seven-year tribulation, careful examination reveals something far more beautiful: this prophecy points directly and exclusively to Jesus Christ.We dive deep into Daniel 9:24-27, exploring how the six promised outcomes—finishing transgression, making an end of sins, reconciling iniquity, bringing everlasting righteousness, sealing prophecy, and anointing the Most Holy—have already been fulfilled through Christ's finished work. The timeline precisely aligns with Jesus beginning His ministry in the 483rd year (after 69 weeks), with seven years remaining in the prophetic timeline.The dispensationalist argument requiring a 2,000-year gap between the 69th and 70th weeks defies logical interpretation and consistent hermeneutics. As we explore each element of the prophecy, we uncover how it all points to Christ rather than some future tribulation period. This understanding brings tremendous peace, replacing fear-based theology with confidence in Christ's completed work.This conversation challenges many believers' assumptions about prophecy while strengthening our appreciation for what Jesus accomplished. When we recognize that we already possess everlasting righteousness through faith in Christ—not through something yet to happen—we can rest in His finished work rather than anxiously awaiting future events.Join us for this mind-expanding discussion that will transform how you read prophecy and deepen your appreciation for Christ's redemptive work. Understanding Daniel's 70 weeks correctly isn't just an academic exercise—it's about seeing Jesus at the center of all Scripture and finding confidence in His completed sacrifice.Support the show
