Until the Days of the Messiah’s Seven Weeks… 3rd Edition

August 3rd 2024

Intro: This article is about The Days of the Messiah’s in-creditable 49 years “7 Weeks” of service that Jesus Christ did from the age of 12 when Je said He was doing His Father’s busniess, to around the end of the age when the Neronic persecutions began in AD64.

After that the Jewish wars began until to AD70 went the Messiah confirmed the covenant for 7 years “1 Week”.

1 The Hebrews used a circular way of writing things that was not liner like we do today. 2 I believe that Daniel 9:25 should be seen with starting the timeframe of 70 weeks with the 62 Weeks first which was for King Cyrus to rebuilding Jerusalem, the Temple, the walls, etc. in the natural realm. 3 Then after a 117 year gap the seven weeks began for the timeframe of Christ Spiritually building the Heavenly Temple with the Royal Priesthood of lively stones in the unseen Spiritual realm during the first century.

1 Corinthians 15:46However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.

4 Daniel wrote the three segments of weeks with the seven weeks first, and the 62 weeks after, but Daniel could have been meaning for the 62 weeks “434 years” to be from the starting point of the going forth of the command in 538 BC by King Cyrus to Christ’s allotted time of 7 weeks “49 years” during the whole first century as the expanded timeframe for the whole 70 weeks.

5 In the 70th Week to confirm the Covenant in Daniel 9:27, the sacrifices cease in the middle of the week when the High Priest of Israel order them to cease in AD66; and the desolations that followed with the complete destruction of the Old Covenant system, was what it took to confirm the New Covenant.

Hebrews 10:9then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

Things That Had to Happen Within the Days of the Messiah‘s 7 Weeks and 70th Week:

6 Daniel 9:24

“Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, ….. AD70

Daniel 12:7

to finish the transgression, …….AD30

Rom. 4:15, Gal. 3:18-20, Heb. 9:15

to make an end of sin, …..AD70

Rom.8:21, Heb. 9:28

to make atonement for iniquity, …… AD30 – AD70

Atonement was only complete when the High Priest came out of the Most Holy Place….

Matt. 27:50-51, Heb.9:28

to bring in everlasting righteousness, ……? AD26 – AD70

Matt. 3:15, Gal. 5:5, 2 Pet. 3:13

to seal up vision and prophecy ……AD70

1 Cor. 13:9-10, Luke 21:20-22

and to anoint the most holy …..AD26

Matt. 3:16-17

7 OT scholars Keil Delitzsch correctly give the meaning of “seal up vision and prophet” to be: “ Prophecies and prophets are sealed, when by the full realization of all prophecies prophecy ceases, no more prophets appear.” (Keil and Delitzsch, Commentary on the Old Testament, Vol. 9, (Grand Rapids; Eerdmans, 1975), 344)

8 Charles John Ellicott: “The impression of translators being that all visions and prophecies were to receive completed fulfillment in the coarse of these seventy weeks. It appears…, to be more agreeable to the context to suppose that the prophet is speaking of the absolute cessation of all prophecy” (1 Cor. 13:8. (Charles John Ellicott, Commentary on the Whole Bible, (Cassell and Co; London, 1884), 387).

9 When Jesus shed His blood, that was the last sacrifice required for the Day of Atonement that was to come at the end of the Age, when the Whole Creation would be delivered out from the bondage of Corruption in AD70 ; but the regular sacrifices continued under the law as long as ancient Israel was still under the Old Covenant. 10 A believers sins were not blotted out at the cross, they but they were covered and forgiven according the the type of appointed times of Holy Convocations and Feast days. 11 Sins were blotted out on the Day of Atonement by placing the blood on the scapegoat and leading it into the wilderness, that never happened during the Passover. 12 Though Jesus could go into the Most Holy Place anytime in the Temple that is in Heaven after He Ascended he had to come out and appear a second time before all sins were blotted out. 13 That would have happened in the unseen realm after the Temple no longer stood in AD70 during the Great White Throne Judgment in AD70; However for those who were resurrected after Him on the third day from Matthew 27:51-53 their sins could have been Atoned for if when Jesus yielded up His Spirit while on the cross made Atonement for them and then came out and appeared to them when they were resurrected.

The Jubilee Cycles:

14 I believe that Daniel’s 70 weeks was not designed to have a 490 year consecutive run for those 70 weeks and the reason why is because there are three segments in them. 15 The 70 weeks seem to have the Jubilee written all over them with every seventh year a Sabbath year of rest for the land “no sowing & reaping”. 16 The Jubilee cycle was 7X7 = 49 years then you add a year for the Jubilee for a total of 50 years which was the 50th year that was the year of Jubilee.

17 The 70 weeks were 490 years and when you divide that by 10 it is 49 years. So there are 10 cycles of Jubilee years but without the Jubilee year added to each one of them 49 cycles. 18 Otherwise there would be 500 years and not 490 years. 19 God had the Babylonians destroy Jerusalem and the Temple and sent Israel into the Babylon captivity because Israel did not keep their Sabbath years. 20 The 70 weeks did not have Jubilee years added in to them; but after those 70 weeks were completed, there was a Ultimate Grand Jubilee where the Whole Creation was delivered out from the bondage of Corruption into the Liberty of the Children of God for a restoration of all things and a regeneration with the New Heaven and earth.

21 I believe the 7 weeks “49 years” began in AD14 shortly after Jesus was in the Temple on the Passover when He said: He was doing His Father’s business at the age of 12. 22 Jesus entered into His full time ministry when He was about 26 – 30 years old. 23 After John Baptized Him to fulfill all righteousness Jesus proclaimed the favourable year of the Lord has been fulfilled. 24 He then when out setting captives free by healing them and did many other kinds miracles to set people free, and this continued on though the Apostles until AD64 when the Neronic Persecution began.

Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,

19 To proclaim the favourable year of the Lord.”

25 We can know when Christ’s 7 weeks began because we can see when everything in Daniel 9:24-27 was fulfilled in AD70. 36 So all we have to do is count backwards 8 weeks of the 70 weeks in time with one week representing 7 years comes to 56 years, counting back from AD70 goes back to AD14 for the starting point of those 7 weeks.

37 Those 7 weeks ended around the time in the fall of AD62 a man called a Jesus the farmer “not Jesus the carpenter” during the Feast of Tabernacles when Israel was prospering and doing well he began to cry out Woe to Jerusalem over and over again, and he did this for about 8 years until the Romans killed him by flinging a big stone with their war machine that hit him. 38 Ed Stevens has a series of Podcasts Archives where he explains this in Signs Begin Appearing (late AD62).

History of Days of the Messiah’s Seven Weeks Start in AD14:

39 The number 14 appears in AD14 and with these series of fourteen generations, sometimes God does things with numbers in a way to get our attention.

Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.

40 From the time of the captivity in Babylon there were fourteen generations to startproclaiming liberty to the captives; to the first century generation of First Fruit who had the Spirit, so they could Spiritually return to the Garden of Eden when full redemption came in AD70 to the Whole Creation from the law sin and death; This would be the fulfillment of Joel 2:3.

Joel 2:3 A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.

Matthew 2:13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”

14 When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, 15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

Luke 2:41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.

Luke 2:49 And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them.

41 I read Daniel 9:26-27 without those two verses being separate fro each other. I read it as one message going through from the crucifixion of the Messiah where is says: “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off in AD33, then it jumps ahead to AD70 with the destruction of the city and the sanctuary and the till the end of the war, Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

42 This does not jump back to AD33 and the jump ahead agin to AD70 with this: And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,

43 The reason why is because the in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering was in AD66, three and a half years before the end came in AD70.

44 Daniel confirmed that the daily sacrifice and grain offering that would cease in the middle of the last week in Daniel 9:27, was not at the cross; with the regular sacrifice just before the abomination of desolation as mentioned in Daniel 12:11; and the daily sacrifices ceasing in the middle of the last week in AD66 was a big part of confirming the New Covenant; which also was when the great tribulation began in AD66, there will be 1,290 days.

Daniel 12:11 From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

Hebrews 10:9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

Daniel 9:26 And after the sixty-two weeks, the anointed one shall be destroyed, and there is no judgment in him: and he shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is coming: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed he shall appoint to desolations.

LXX
Daniel 9:27 And one week shall establish the covenant with many: and in the midst of the week my sacrifice and drink-offering shall be taken away: and on the temple the abomination of desolations; and at the end of time an end shall be put to the desolation.

45 Ed Stevens in his article called Dan 9:24-27 – The Seventy Weeks – June 3, 2020 says Quote: I definitely agree that the seventy weeks ended in AD 70. However, I do not think that the seventy weeks were a strict literal 490 years. Otherwise, the Jews and Christians would have known exactly when the Messiah would appear. Yet the Jews and Jesus and everyone else did NOT “know the exact day or hour” of His coming. Instead, Jesus told them to watch for the signs. When they saw all these things take place, THEN they would know that His return was very near.

I believe the same thing holds true in Daniel 9:24-27. Daniel was not given a literal 490 years to calculate the time of the Messiah1s coming. Instead, he was given a length of time divided into three distinct periods, each of which were marked off by signs to look for. When those signs appeared and were fulfilled, THEN they would know when each of the three periods had been, or were about to be, fulfilled. So it was a sign-based reckoning, NOT a year-based calculation.

Daniel 9:24 lists all the things that had to be accomplished by the end of the seventy weeks. Several of those items in the list imply that the end of the seventy weeks was AD 70. And the beginning of the seventy weeks is marked off by the decree of Cyrus to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple in 536 BC (which was the end of the 70 years of Babylonian captivity). Thus the seventy weeks was a period of 606 years (536 BC + 70 AD). The difference between 606 and

490 is 116 years. That is where the gaps come into play. The Jews knew about the three different divisions of Daniel’s prophecy, and were watching the signs to determine when each of the three periods began and ended. It was not a literal consecutive 490 years.

Instead, it was three periods of time (7 weeks, 62 weeks, and 1 week), marked off by distinctive signs. This means that the three periods were either relative in length, or they had gaps between them. Again, if it was a literal consecutive 490 years, then the Jews and Christians would have known exactly when it was to occur. They would not have needed any signs to look for. This is why the Jews demanded that Jesus produce the signs to confirm that he was the Messiah that they were looking for. They could not be sure that it was the right TIME for the Messiah to appear, unless that would-be Messiah could produce the right SIGNS that they were looking for.

What I find extremely interesting is the premil suggestion that the “prince” mentioned in Dan 9:26 is the future antichrist. That idea would work just as well (or better) in the preterist past-fulfillment scenario. In my research for my historical book (Final Decade Before the End), I have begun to zero-in on this same idea. The Messiah Prince mentioned in verses 25 and 26 appears to be a different Prince than the one introduced in verse 26. Since the people of this other prince abominate the city and sanctuary, causing it to be completely destroyed and desolated, this seems to fit the Zealot leader Eleazar b. Ananias and his band of Zealots who polluted the city of Jerusalem and especially the temple area. Josephus talks about the abomination of the city and temple that was done by the Zealots in their internecine strife and rivalry. Since Eleazar “sat in the temple” and made numerous lawless changes in the sacrificial system, and lawlessly broke his covenant with the Romans and the Jewish people as well, it appears that he is the prime candidate for the “Prince” designation here in Dan 9:26, as well as the “man of lawlessness” prediction in 2 Thess 2. And he was a “prince” in the sense that he was the priestly (anointed) son of the most powerful High Priest at that time (Ananias b. Nedebaeus).

I am not totally convinced that the “anointed one” in Dan 9:25-26 is Messiah Jesus. I lean somewhat in that direction, but am open for a better explanation based on further analysis of the historical data in Josephus, Yosippon, Hegesippus, and Tacitus.

Obviously, I have not finished my research and landed on a firm position, but this will give you the basic framework that I am working within (past fulfillment at AD 70). I would recommend taking a look at Thomas Howe’s very helpful book. Hope that helps.

AD 62 — Some prince (son of one of the most powerful Jewish rulers or chief priests like Ananias) evidently made a covenant with the Jewish people.

AD 66 — That prince (Eleazar b. Ananias) took full control of the temple and stopped all sacrifices for Gentiles and put the sacrificial system and priesthood in disarray. Thus began his reign of tyranny over the Temple complex. The other Zealot factions (John of Gischala and Simon b. Giora) polluted the temple and ravaged the city with their internecine strife. Throughout all that internal conflict, they also had to deal with the forces of Vespasian and Titus on the outside (constant war and desolations inside and out).

AD 70 — “The End” came with a flood. At the very pinnacle of the abominations inside the city came one who caused the ultimate horror to happen. I think this must be referring to John of Gischala. Josephus notes how he was the most wicked of the three Zealot generals, and did the most spoiling of the food resources, and most plundering of the citizens, and most immoral in their conduct. He gained control of the temple, and Eleazar fled from the temple through underground tunnels and escaped to Masada. Then came the End for Jerusalem, when a complete destruction was poured out upon the one who had desolated the city and the Temple before the Siege of Titus.

The interpretation of Dan 9:24-27 points decisively to the decree of Cyrus as the beginning point for the 70 weeks. This is inconsistent with the dates of fulfillment only if one insists (contrary to the vagueness of the word “weeks”) that weeks of ordinary literal years must be involved.

End Quote

The Feast of Pentecost was a Forerunner for the 50th Year Day of Atonement’s Jubilee:

46 The Feast of Pentecost was 50 days after the Sheaf Wave of First Fruits so Pentecost has Jubilee associated with it for a sign, but the actual day the Jubilee year began was on the Day of Atonement after 49 years. 47 During the 40 years which was within Christ’s Seven Weeks during the first century saints were filled with the Holy Spirit which began on the Feast Day of Pentecost in the Upper Room in AD30. 48 This was like a mini Jubilee and a forerunner for the Day of Atonement’s Jubilee that was to come at the end of the Age for the New Heaven and Earth. 49 When the Temple no longer stood Jesus the High Priest returned out from the Most Holy Place apart from sin, by blotting out the the memory of sin so that the Whole Creation would be delivered out from the law of sin and death by casting Hades into the Lake of Fire. 50 The New Glorious Creation began with the Feast of Tabernacles being fulfilled, and the New Heaven and Earth started with all things made new. 51 This was the Grand Ultimate Jubilee and the fulfillment of the Everlasting Gospel which will continue forever.

The Fulfillments of Daniel 9:24:

52 I believe that all of these were fulfilled within Christ’s Seven Weeks and last Week that started AD14 and ended in AD70.

53 OT scholars Keil Delitzsch correctly give the meaning of “seal up vision and prophet” to be:“ Prophecies and prophets are sealed, when by the full realization of all prophecies prophecy ceases, no more prophets appear.” (Keil and Delitzsch, Commentary on the Old Testament, Vol. 9, (Grand Rapids; Eerdmans, 1975), 344)

54 Charles John Ellicott: “The impression of translators being that all visions and prophecies were to receive completed fulfillment in the coarse of these seventy weeks. It appears…, to be more agreeable to the context to suppose that the prophet is speaking of the absolute cessation of all prophecy” (1 Cor. 13:8. (Charles John Ellicott, Commentary on the Whole Bible, (Cassell and Co; London, 1884), 387).

55 The second one was fulfilled by His death on the cross, and the seventh one was fulfilled when Christ was baptized by John; all the others were either extended from the cross to AD70 or fulfilled in AD70. 56 Those who believe that Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 began with King Artaxerxes in 458 BC and ended 3.5 years after the cross in AD33, would have to say all of these things were fulfilled at the cross, but was that really true…? 57 I will explain in depth why I believe all of Daniel 9:24 was not fulfilled at the cross.

The Lord’s Passover Vs. the Day of Atonement:

58 The Lord’s Passover and the Day of Atonement “Yom Kippur” appear to have something in common when it comes to the shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sins. 59 But when we look deeper we find a picture of God’s redemptive work through Jesus Christ from His first coming, when He willingly died for the sins of the world, to His second appearing when He came again in great power and glory. 60 The Lord’s Passover and Feast of Un-Leaven Bread was the first Feast and it reflects on leaving bondage of sin and death. 61 Then the power of the Feast of Pentecost enables to journey through life to the promised land with being filled with the Holy Spirit. 62 Then in the fall time came the Blowing of Trumpets before the Day of Atonement which was the Judgment Day with the blotting out of all sins so that they were removed from the memory by transferring them on to the scapegoat. 63 Then with the final celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles.

64 The Day of Atonement is a picture of preparation needed for a regeneration and a restoration of all things after seven years of this annual event with what is called the Jubilee year for the nation of Israel. 65 When the Day of Atonement was actually fulfilled in AD70 for the Great White Throne Judgment is was for the Whole Creation for a New Heaven and Earth. 10 According to the type in the Old Covenant the Day of Atonement was just for Israel. 66 But the antitype that was after the resurrection of the just and the unjust was for the whole world so that the whole creation would be delivered out from the bondage of corruption and into the liberty of the children of God.

Romans 8:18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labours with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Did Christ entering the Most Holy Place More Than Once…?

67 On one hand Hebrews 9:8 says the Most Holy Place was not made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing which we know was destroyed in AD70. 68 Then on the other hand Hebrews 9:12 says Christ had already entered the Most Holy Place once for all. 69 Could it be that Christ enter the Most Holy Place where His blood had been presented there while His was on the cross after He Ascended into Heaven which was 40 days after He rose from the dead. 70 Then Christ came out to meet the saints in AD66 for the first resurrection with this the Atonement for those who were first-fruits who were resurrected, and took them to Heaven after they received their redemptive Spiritual body.

71 Then Jesus enter the Most Holy Place again after the Temple was destroyed it was to make Atonement for the Whole Creation and appeared a second time for the just who were waiting to see Him and be delivered out from Hades. 72 I don’t know how else to explain this mystery so I’m not saying it happened this way for sure, but it seems to make sense for three special occasions.

73 I believe that the blood Jesus shed on the cross was all that was required for the Day of Atonement for all kinds of orders of resurrections that came later because the blood Jesus shed for the New Covenant was for the blotting out of the memory of sin where it would not be remembered.

Hebrews 10:17 “And their sins and their lawless deeds
I will remember no more.

74 However the Day of Atonement was not fulfilled until the High Priest came out of the Most Holy Place “not when he went into it” and finished the require of transferring the blood on one of two goats to make atonement upon it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness. 75 Some people believe everything was fulfilled on the cross including the Day of Atonement and would brand anyone as a heretic for not believing like they do; but it just doesn’t fit the typology in the appointed times and Feasts of the Lord in Lev. 23 which was God’s redemptive plan for mankind.

Hebrews 9:8the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

Hebrews 9:12Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

Hebrews 9:28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

76 This subject really matters because the right version of eschatology is based on this and the reason why there is so much misinformation about is because it’s not understood correctly. 77 First thing is that the Day of Atonement did not happen right after the Lord’s Passover “the cross” or at any time during the other Spring Feasts took place. 78 Was the Feast of Pentecost fulfilled at the cross or any of the other appointed times…? 79 No, so that should tell us something right there. 80 The appearing of Christ a second time relies on the accurate timing in order for us to know which view out there to believe and there are many and Full Preterist know how far off the Futurist view takes it.

81 There are a few things that we have to realize before we can come to a full conclusion on when the Day of Atonement was fulfilled.

82 When Jesus yield up His Spirit the veil of the Temple was torn in two from top to bottom; If this was the Temple that King Cyrus built then it would have been for a sign what happened in Heaven and the blood that Jesus shed was presented to the Father which would be for the Day of Atonement and all other appointed times where the shedding of blood was required. 83 Jesus would have not entered into the Most Holy Places while on the cross unless it was just His Spirit, but most likely immediately entered in after He Ascended to the Father. 84 From the scripture we can determine that Jesus did not Ascend into Heaven while on the cross, He did yield His Spirit to the Father but He spent three nights and on the third day in the heart of the earth where Hades was.

Matthew 12:40For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matthew 27:50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

John 20:17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”

The Two Times the Temple was Open in Heaven

85 The first time was at the cross when Jesus yielded up His Spirit in Matthew 27:50. 86 The second time the Temple in Heaven was opened up for the Day of Atonement and what is called the Great White Throne Judgment with Jesus Christ the High Priest coming out of the Most Holy Place after the Earthly Temple was destroyed.

Hebrews 10:9then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

Revelation 11:19Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

87 There are many who say Atonement was fulfilled at the cross, but if the Day of Atonement was fulfilled at the cross; if you think about it, then when Jesus rose from the dead on the third day would have had to be His second coming “appearing” according to Hebrews 9:28 like the High Priest did coming out of the Most Holy Place on the Day of Atonement. 88 This would not make sense and should make it very clear that the first century Church was still waiting for the Day of Atonement “Judgment” for the salvation of their souls, the adoption, and their redemptive body. 89 And that His coming would not take 2000 years and counting but rather be fulfilled when Christ appeared a second time in AD70 when the Temple no longer stood.

Hebrews 10: 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37 “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

Romans 8:23 Not only that, but we also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

Ephesians 1:14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Ephesians 4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

90 Scriptures like these listed below make it confusing for many people between whether redemption came at the cross or at the end of the Age when the Great White Thrown Judgment took place on the Day of Atonement. 91 The scriptures below say otherwise that redemption had already come through Jesus’ blood, and that Jesus had entered into the Most Holy Places with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation; but this was written after the cross and after His Ascension into Heaven.

Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

Colossians 1:14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

92 I believe that there are two ways we will be able to understand the differences of how Christ brought redemption for personal sins “Passover” verses, the sins of the nation of Israel “Day of Atonement”. 93 The first way can be seen in the two different events, the Lord’s Passover and the Day of Atonement. 94 When the first century Church were alive during the first century they were forgiven and were individually Spiritually resurrected saints through baptism. 95 They were baptized into the death and resurrection of Christ, yet they were waiting for their redemptive Spiritual body that came to them in AD66. 96 That finished the first resurrection for those who had the First Fruits of the Spirit and those who were resurrected after Christ in Matthew 27:51-53. 97 But they all were still waiting for the Manifestation of the Sons of God for the Whole Creation to be delivered from the Age of Corruption and the adoption and redemptive body to be fulfilled in AD70.

98 I believe that we can say that Jesus entered the Most Holy Place after His Ascension into Heaven because He did not ascend into Heaven until then and that is where the Most Holy Place is. 99 Jesus was in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights after He died on the cross when the veil was torn to accept His blood by the Father.

The Tabernacle of David

100 The Tabernacle of David that was restored according to the book of Acts is the second way that had an influence as to when Jesus entered into the Most Holy Place aside from at the end of the Age when the Day of Atonement was being fulfilled.

101 Amos did not say that David’s Tabernacle would be restored after the destruction of Jerusalem in AD70 as those with a Pre Millennial view will tell you. 102 Amos lived before Solomon’s Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and he could have been speaking about any timeframe after that because the Ark of the Covenant also disappeared never to be seen again after it was taken during the Babylon captivity. 103 In 1 Samuel 5 the Ark of the Covenant was also taken before that by the Philistines before Israel had a King and King David brought the Ark to Mt. Zion and pitched a three sided tent for it before King Solomon built a temple for it to be placed in. 104 When the Ark of the Covenant was in David’s Tabernacle it was exposed which meant that God’s presence was exposed before all that stood before it. 105 This time was significant because the Ark which represented God’s presence was always hidden in the Most Holy Place from people because of the sin that separated them; but during this time it was foreshadowing a time when Christ would be present before mankind and then the Holy Spirit also present after Pentecost.

106 David’s Tabernacle would be restored for the first century Church as the antitype until end of the Age in AD70 with the fullness of the Gentiles coming in until the Heavenly Temple of God being open in Heaven according to:

Revelation 11:19Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail..

Amos 9:11 “On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old; 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,” Says the Lord who does this thing.

107 The Tabernacle of David was restored Spiritually to the first century so that the everyone including the Gentiles could enter into God’s presence while Cyrus’s “Herod’s” Temple was still standing where the Jews kept the Old Covenant laws. 108 This was the antitype to when King David had pitched a tent for the Ark of the Covenant with the presence of God on Mt. Zion while Moses’s Tabernacle was on Mt. Sinai where the Priests preformed their animal sacrifices going on at the same time back in the days of King David. 109 So it was when Jesus was on the Earth as God manifested in the flesh with God’s presence before everyone, then leaving His followers with the Holy Spirit for God’s presence to be in them, through David’s Tabernacle being restored.

Acts 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles. 13 And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me: 14 Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

16 ‘After this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;

So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the Lord who does all these things.’

110 The vanishing away of the Old Covenant while the New Covenant that was being implemented on the Feast Day of Pentecost was a process that began in AD30 with the Spring Feasts being fulfilled and made the Old Covenant obsolete for those who received Christ and were baptized in the Holy Spirit. 112 The process of transition for God’s redemptive plan was not complete until the end of the Age when the Day of Atonement was fulfilled in the Heavenly Temple for the Whole Creation to be delivered out from the bondage of Corruption according to Romans 8:20-22. 113 In order for that to happen the Temple in Jerusalem had to be no longer standing so that Christ could symbolically enter into the Most Holy Place that is in Heaven where His blood was as the Holy Spirit indicated in Hebrews 9:8 for the Whole Creation to be delivered out from the Age of Corruption in AD70. 114 Yet Christ would have entered the Most Holy Place after His Ascension as well where He could have purged sin with His blood so that sins would be forgiven on a personal level for those who were the blessed to be part of the first resurrection that was completed in AD66. 115 Yet according to Hebrews 9:8 Christ would have had to enter the Most Holy Place after the temple no longer stood to make Atonement for the Whole Creation in order to deliver the Whole Creation out from the bondage of Corruption and into the New Age of the New Heaven and Earth with a regeneration and restoration of all things.

Hebrews 1:3who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Acts 3:21whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.

Romans 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labours with birth pangs together until now.

116 Jesus foretold exactly when the Temple in Heaven would be built so while the Earthly Temple was still standing, the Heavenly Temple which was Jesus Himself would be built three days after His death on the cross along with His body the Church after Pentecost believers became temples for the Holy Spirit to dwell in. 117 The pattern that God implemented His plan of redemption through for the Day of Atonement to be fulfilled was going to be according to the original Tabernacle that was in the wilderness with Moses; while the Tabernacle of David had been restored for those of the first resurrection. 118 It was over the coarse of time that it took for the appointed times in the Fall with the Blowing Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Feast of Tabernacles to be fulfilled starting with the Blowing of Trumpets around AD66. 119 That is a long time for the antitype to be fulfilled compared to the type which was only a few months for salvation to be made complete compared to during the times of the Old Covenant.

120 Many have wonder about Ezekiel’s Temple because it does not fit the description of the Temple that stood during the first century that was built after the Babylon captivity to replace Solomon’s Temple. Many think that Ezekiel’s Temple will be built in the future. 121 I’ve always seen Ezekiel’s Temple as a type for the Temple in Heaven in the unseen Spiritual realm where nothing is to be taken as literal but Spiritual in the unseen realm as the antitype; Animal sacrifices pointed to Christ sacrifice which ended in the first century so it should be seen in that way. 122 I see Ezekiel’s Temple having the Lake of Fire in it through the Outer Courts that had kitchens of boiling water at every corner as well as the Laver for washing that was right next to the Brazen Alter. 123 You really need to have an understanding of typology otherwise you will only look for things with a carnal mind; is it any wonder why John said not the measure the Outer Courts in Revelation 11:2. 124 I do not believe that the Outer Courts was for the Heavenly Temple for the New Heaven and Earth because of what it represented was for the Old Covenant.

Revelation 11:2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.

125 Chapters from Ezekiel 40 to 47 all lead up to the New heaven and Earth and Revelation 21 & 22 where it mentions the river of Life and Tree of Life in matching up with Revelation 22:

Ezekiel 47:12Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.

Revelation 22: And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.

126 That should tells us all we need to know that Ezekiel’s Temple was fulfilled before the end of the Age of Corruption from law of sin and death. 127 Ezekiel lived around the time of the Babylon captivity, when he wrote that, Solomon’s Temple had already been destroyed. 128 Then the Temple that King Cyrus built was destroyed in AD70. 129 The only other Temples mentioned were Jesus Christ Himself and then those who were baptized into the Holy Spirit. 130 Where do Futurist get another Temple for their so-called Antichrist after skipping over those I mentioned…?

John 2: 19 Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

20 Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22 Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

131 Something happened at the cross with the veil of the Temple being torn in two when the blood of Jesus Christ was presented into the Most Holy Place.

132 It was a sign that all the requirements for sacrifice was finished, done, no more needed. 133 though the Old Covenant people continued sacrificing until AD66 when the High Priest order the daily sacrifices and drink offerings to cease in the middle of the 70th week. 134 The Tabernacle of David did not have the Holy Place or a veil to separate man from Most Holy Place where God’s presence was, which was the type for the first century saints to come to Christ with the forgiveness of sin. 135 The Ark of the Covenant was taken away from the Israel people in a battle and it took a while for King David to recover it. 136 When David recovered the Ark of the Covenant he pitched a three sided tent around the Ark of the Covenant which is where God symbolically dwelt. 137 Everyone was allowed to go before the Ark of the Covenant and they would dance and sing before the Lord without the fear of being struck dead from the presence of God because of sin. 138 It was not until David’s son Solomon became the King that the first Temple was built out of stone instead of a Tabernacle or tent where the Ark of the Covenant could then be placed in the Most Holy Place behind a veil again.

139 Later on the Babylonians attacked Jerusalem and destroyed Solomon’s Temple and the Ark of the Covenant was lost and has never been seen since. 140 So when the Cyrus’s Temple which was the second temple that was built that existed during the time Jesus was on the Earth, there never was the Ark of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place when King Cyrus’s Temple was there during the first century but Jesus appeared as the Ark of the New Covenant for He was God manifested in the flesh. 141 During the days of the first century the Temple was like in King David’s days with the Tabernacle of Moses without the Ark of the Covenant because the Ark of the Covenant was in David’s Tabernacle on Mt. Zion. 142 After Jesus rose from the dead until the end of the Age in AD70 with both the Mosaic Temple and David’s tabernacle with God’s glory in the Church were going on at the same time in a similar manner as the antitype in the Spiritual realm. 143 God’s glory had departed the Temple where the leaders of Israel were still performing the law and their sacrifices until AD66. 144 During the first century God was rejecting the Priest of Israel’s sacrifices and later had destroyed the Temple in AD70 in the literal physical realm. 145 The Temple that was there when Jesus yielded up His Spirit while on the cross had its veil torn in two. 146 It does not say whether it was from Cyrus’s Temple or the Heavenly Temple. 147 Either way I believe it was as a sign that the blood Jesus shed was received into the Most Holy Place in Heaven upon the Ark of the Covenant.

Matt. 27: 50And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

The fulfillment of the Day of Atonement:

148 When Jesus entered into the Most Holy Place to fulfill the Day of Atonement it would have to be according to the pattern of the Tabernacle of Moses for the Whole Creation to have a restoration and regeneration of all things made new. 149 This was according to when the appointed times of the Feasts of the Lord and Holy Convocation Days were written in Leviticus 23. 150 So it was not based on David’s Tabernacle which was only in the Spiritual realm for the first century Church where Jesus Christ entered into the Most Holy Place after His Ascension 40 days after He rose from the dead. 151 Once the Earthly Temple no longer stood His presence appeared before the Whole Creation for the Great White Throne Judgment Day of Atonement after the Temple on Earth was destroyed.

Hebrews 10:9then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

Revelation 11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of [i]His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

152 Those walls of the Temple meant something in the Spiritual realm and represented the separation between God and all of mankind because of sin, the Great White Throne Judgment was the fulfillment of the Day of Atonement. 153 All of the dead who were resurrected from the Whole Creation were judged according to who were sheep and who were goats or the just and the unjust from the all the nations of the world in AD70.

154 The just from those saved by believing in Christ did not have to fear the Great White Throne Judgment and the second death the Lake of Fire because they were already caught up in Heaven, because they were sealed with a promise of redemption by faith in AD66 for their complete salvation. 155 they were adoption as children of God when they believed in Christ and received their redemptive body when they were changed and caught up to meet the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:17Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

156 The rest of the dead of the Whole Creation from all around the world were resurrected out from their graves in the second resurrection in AD70 after the Temple was destroyed which were the just and the unjust. 157 Keep in mind that there were still people that could have come to faith in Christ after the first century saints were caught up before the end of the Age in AD70 who would of had to wait until they physically died to receive their redemptive Spiritual body. 158 Once that the second resurrection happened, the Blowing of Trumpets was fulfilled so that Christ could enter into the Most Holy Place to fulfill the Day of Atonement with His blood for the sin of the Whole Creation. 159 Then He appeared a second time without sin therefore He brought full salvation to the world from the old Age of Corruption from the law of sin and death.

160 Just like the goat that was the scapegoat on the Day of Atonement had blood poured on it with the transfer of sin and lead into the wildness alive, so were the Beast and the False Prophet cast into the Lake of Fire alive in antitype. 161 We have people today who are like that scapegoat when they seem to be carrying the weight of the Age of Corruption of the law of sin and death on themselves and everyone else by not transcending in their faith for the New heaven and Earth. 162 They are in Outer Darkness not knowing the truth and some deny it when they heard it but our brother and sisters are starting to wake up and come alive like the Prodigal Son did when he realized the state he was in.

163 Some of the Pre Millennial Preterist except for one that I know of are saying that Christ’s second appearing occurred at His Ascension in AD30. They have also said his second appearing was not his second coming in the clouds of Glory in AD66-AD70. 164 They believe Christ second appearing was fulfilled at the His Ascension. But His second coming was Fulfilled in circa AD70. 165 Some of them have said that the second appearing was before God and is not to be conflated “to fuse into one entity” with the second coming in glory at the end of the Age in AD70, when their view of the 1000 years begins and continues to go on for thousands of years.

166 So if what those Pre Millennial Preterist are saying was true, then God would have thrown His fulfilling of the Feasts Days and Holy Convocation Days way off order to the pattern of His plan for redemption by fusing the Lord’s Passover with the Day of Atonement making them happen at the same time at the cross before the Day of Pentecost came. 167 The second appearing that we are talking about comes is from Hebrews 9:28 when the context is clearly speaking of the Day of Atonement when Christ as the High Priest appears to the people after coming out of the Most Holy Place after the Temple no longer stood.

The Tabernacle of David & Thousand Years Connection:

168 There was about a thousand years between King David to Jesus Christ and Jesus was from the root and offspring of King David. 169 It is of my opinion the the 1000 years that John had in mind in Revelation 20 was reflecting back to the amount of years there were between King David to the end of the Age in AD70. 170 David was 30 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for forty years, as well as David’s son Solomon reigned for 40 years after David.

2 Samuel 5:4David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

171 Jesus also began his ministry when He was baptized at 30 years of age so we can see a very strong connection to a 40 year reign with Christ with 3.5 years on Earth and the rest in Heaven after His Ascension until the end of the Age according to the 1000 years mentioned in Revelation 20:4:

Luke 3:23Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

172 A few have thought that David would be resurrected and be their Messiah. 173 I don’t nor does anyone I know believe that David would be the Messiah because it is clear that Jesus was and He was an offspring from David. 174 However I do believe King David was part of the first resurrection of the dead mentioned in:

Matthew 27: 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

Jeremiah 30:9 But they shall serve the Lord their God,
And David their king,
Whom I will raise up for them.

Hosea 3:5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days.

175 So David would have been there for the so-called thousand years which was more like the 40 years that the Church reigned with Christ during the transitional period from AD30 to AD70 the end of the Age when the Temple and city were destroyed.

So to sum that up it would look like this:

176 What makes sense is that the first resurrection took place in Matthew 27: 50-53 when the thousands years John spoke of in Revelation 20 was really pointing to the Tabernacle of David being restored for the first century Church so that the fullness of the Gentiles could come in up to the end of the Age. 177 Then the Great White Throne Judgment occurred right after the Temple no longer stood and the dead raised and their reigning with Christ for that period of time became transformed into the new Age with the Manifested Sons of God starting off the New Heaven and Earth all which did take place in AD70.

178 Here is what Ed Stevens says about the Millennial reign according to Revelation 20 & 1Cor 15: 24-28 – “Quote” Paul says that Christ was already reigning in some sense at the time he wrote.

Notice he says, “for he must reign until he puts all of his enemies under his feet” (v. 25). What reign is this? It is certainly not his eternal reign, the eternal kingdom, which can only come at the Parousia. So what reign is this that Paul is referring to here in AD 57? Christ was already reigning in some sense, and if it’s not his eternal reign, then it has to be his Millennial reign (cf. Rev. 20). Paul implies here that the Millennial reign between his first coming and his second coming was already in progress at that time. This was the time when Christ put down all of his enemies, took the Kingdom away from the Jews, gave it back to the Father to whom it belongs, and then sat down with the Father to co-reign with him eternally. Back in Samuel’s day, when the Israelites rejected God as their King and demanded a King like all the other nations, God allowed them to set up Saul as their King. But soon afterwards God sent Samuel to anoint David as the successor, from whose descendants the Messiah Jesus would arise to take the Kingdom away from the Jews and give it back to God. That appears to be what Paul is alluding to here.

Conclusion:

AD14 to AD63 for Days of the Messiah’s Seven Weeks before the End of the Age:

179 It was during the Seven Weeks that Jesus Christ built the New Jerusalem and the Temple in the unseen Spiritual realm. 180 The Temple was built out of Lively Stones which He was the Cornerstone that came with a Royal Priesthood of those who had the First Fruits of the Spirit.

Hebrews 10:9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

Hebrews 12:22But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

1 Peter 2:4Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Daniel 9:25

181 62 Week for the natural by Cyrus the anointed one

182 7 Weeks for the Spiritual by Jesus Christ the anointed one

1 Corinthians 15:46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
