70 weeks ( =490 Years ) are planned by God, to re-establish Israel.   69 weeks have already passed.

 But: The last seven years of the re-establishment are still in the future.

 

( About this theme Hal Lindsey specially has been concerned. German: 1983 )

 

Israel is in the Babylonian captivity.  Daniel asks God to care for His people.  By the angel Gabriel  Daniel learns about the plans of God.

Dan 9, 24-27: 

 

24:  Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city,

to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins,

to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness,

to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.

 

25:  Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command

to restore and build Jerusalem until the Messiah the Prince,

there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;

The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times.

 

26:  And after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;

And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.

The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined.

 

27:  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.

And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,

even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.

 

                                                                          * * * * *

 

At what time the word has been spoken to rebuild Jerusalem?

In Nehemiah, chapter 2, we read:   

It is the 20. year of the reign of Artahsasta.    This is the year 445 BC.

 

70 weeks (= 490 years ) minus 445 = 45;   This is the year "One" .   The 70 weeks then end in the year

45 AD. 

The 70. week then are the years from 39 until 45.   In the year 33  Jesus has been crucified.

This has been in the 69. week.

                                                                            * * * * * 

 The restoration of Israel occurs in three steps:

 

a) If somebody runs into debts and has to abandon his ground for the payment of his debts, then he receives back his ground in the next "Jubilee-Year".   ( All 50 years there is a Jubilee-Year.)

So: After 7 weeks Israel gets back its country and a ruler will be crowned, however a vassal of Persia.

 

b) During the next 62 weeks Jerusalem will be rebuild. But Israel stays under foreign dominion. Israel stays under the influence of foreign deities.   At the end of the 62 weeks, in 33 AD, Jesus will be crucified.   And so Jesus as the son of God comes into His inheritance of the high indebted creation.  ( Until then Lucifer has been the administrator.)

 

And then comes the attack on Jerusalem, by which the town and the temple will be destroyed.

In Hes 38 Gog from the country Magog attacks Jerusalem and comes to his end in 38 AD.

( Rome itself has already withdrawn from Israel.  But Gog is a vassal of Rome.)

 

c) The last week serves the re-establishment of Israel, this is the 70. week.   Jerusalem will be rebuild, the temple will be re-erected.

Jesus, the King of the World has overtaken his reign.  The deities of the nations are disempowered.

Jesus makes a covenant with the nations. ( Dan 2,35 )

All nations help with the re-erection of Jerusalem.

All Jews are coming home.

It is peace on earth.

In the middle of the 70. week sacrifices of animals and food are stopped. That means, that the

Aaron Priesthood has come to its end and that Jesus has become the new High Priest of Israel.

 

After the end of the 70. week Satan gets a certain influence on mankind for 45 days.

( Dan 12, 11-12 )

And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be 1290 days.

Blessed is he who waits and comes to the 1335 days.

 

And so, after the sacrifice has been finished and Jesus has become the High Priest, there are 1290 days until the end of the 70. week.

 

Then Satan gets claims for 45 days.

                                                                               * * * * *

This was the plan of the end time of the nations. But Israel did not accept the Messiah, and therefore the 70. week has been delayed until our days.

 

Let's read verse 24 where it says, " Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city ... to seal up vision and prophecy ... "

Let's take the notice, that the temporel aspect of visions and prophecies of the Old Testament aim at this year 45 AD.

 

But now the 70. week has been delayed in our time, so that we can aspect, that God did prepare for us special messages.

So: The temporal aspects of visions and prophecies of the OT aim at the year 45 AD.  Maximal.  But for our time we need actual messages.

                                                                                 * * * * *

With plan A, Gog from the country Magog made an attack on Jerusalem at the end of the 69. week.

A few years after the Romans crucified Jesus.

 

Now, with plan B, after 2000 years, the 7. Head of the Beast is in power.  This is the Beast from the Sea, the Sea of Nations.  By this the Man of Modern has come into existence.

Like Gog too, the Beast with its 7. Head has been misguided to make an attack on Jerusalem.

 

Dumitru Duduman had the vision of the attack on Israel, that the troops entered Israel in the south of the Golan Heights through the valley of the Yarmuk river.

 

The attack before on Mystery Babylon has been justified, but this attack on Israel was illegal. Therefore the 7. Head and all deities are banned into the abyss.

But then, with the end of the 70. week, the 7. Head takes his place on earth again, and the people are astonished about this. ( Rev 17,8 ).

 

But now begins the 70. Week. ( Dan 9, 27 1-3 )

27: (1) Then He shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;

       (2) But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.

       (3) And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,

             even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.

 

So: All Satanic angels are banned into the abyss.

It is peace on earth.    ( 27,1 )

All Israelis come home.

The nation help to re-establish the country.

The temple will be rebuild.

The completion of the community is in the middle of the 70. Week.    ( 27,2 )

1. Peter 2,5: ... " you 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."

 

If those sacrifices are ended, so this means, that the spiritually house is complete, that the Community of Christ is complete.

The "spiritual house" has to be completed. Now there are still Catholics, Protestants, Free Churches and Orthodox communities who would not unite in an ecumene.  And why?  The spirit of Satan, who has a certain influence in the communities, would always know how to prevent the unity.

                                                                                * * * * *

But now Satan has no influence here.  This changes with the end of the 70. Week.  After plan A he would have only 45 days.  But now he has 7 years for his disposal to tempt Israel and the nations.

Even the temple will be violated in the middle of these 7 years. ( 27,3 )

And this time ends with the battle of Armageddon.

 

Now this is important:  The messages of the OT aim at plan A.  The letters and the Revelation aim at plan B.  But not only.  There are further on the prophets of God in our days:

George Washington, A. A. Allen, Dumitru Duduman, Mary K. Baxter, Wendy Alec and others.

 

God shows us quite exactly, how His Plan B is alike.  Now we look at the chronological linkage.

Let's read Rev 7:

a.)  The four angels shall stop with the devastation of the earth, because the sealing of the 144 000 is planned now, point "b", the sealing of the 12 000 of each tribe of Israel.

 

And so the 70. week begins.  "c" points at its end, because now the rapture follows.

 

d.) Here it is asked, where they come from.  We read, that those have been cleaned by Jesus in a time, when they were still in great tribulations.  That means, earlier than the begin of the 70. Week.

 

"d" relates to the destruction of Mystery Babylon and the attack on Jerusalem and to the fact, that the faithful have been prepared in respect of these events.

 

Here we read about the plan of God.  Whether it really happens, depends also on us. Are we able to find the lost tribes? Would we send missionary teams to them?

                                                                             * * * * *

So:  The 70. week, which serves the restoration of Israel, is a time, when the spirit of Satan has no influence on mankind.

We remember: There is a time, when the animal with its 7. head "is not", and then later comes into existence again when leaving the abyss.  Like having an 8. head. ( Rev 17,11 )

 

So:  The 70. week is a time, when Satan has no influence on earth, it is a time of " peace on earth".

With the result:

World mission has come to an end, all nations have heard the gospel. The world community has come to completion. "The spiritual House."

All nations help to build the temple, which becomes so glorious as never before.

                                                                              * * * * *

And so: With the completion of the community of Christ there is also the completion of the

Full Number of the First Fruits. Both happens before the time of tribulation.  For 7 years God planned the final restoration of the full number, and then there will be 7 years of tribulation.

 

We remember: It's just like the events around Joseph. Pharao had a dream that the

"ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows."

                                                                               * * * * *

The 70. week and the time of tribulation form a whole, just as it was with Joseph.  First there were the seven fat years, and then came the seven gaunt years and ate the seven fat years.

The story of Joseph shows us, that the salvation of the Family Israel was not a salvation

"in the last minute", but its salvation was planned.

It began with the dream, that the sun, the moon and the stars bowed down before Joseph.  But this dream was not accepted by the family at all.  Joseph has been sold to the Midianites and reached finally Egypt.

After quite a time in prison he has been dignified by Pharao. There then Joseph's family has been saved in the years of starvation.

 

Very similar it begins here with the 70. week - and so it happens:

Those Jews, believing in Jesus, are excluded from their people.  It is still so until the present day.

But then they are those, by which the whole nation is saved in the years of tribulation.

Rom 11,16:

"For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy so are the branches."

Now, they are the firstfruits, which trust in Jesus, the Messiah.

 

Then there is a 2nd full number. ( Rom 11, 25-26 )

"For I do not desire, Brethren, that you should be ignorant of this misery, ( lest you should be wise in your own opinion,) that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

And so all Israel will be saved as it is written: The deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;"

 

The full number of the nations has the effect, that Satan at the time of Apocalypse will be expelled from heaven. Then, on earth, he tries to attack Israel, but Mary, the mother of Jesus, saves Israel into the desert.

There, then, they will soon know, who the Messiah essentially is - conveyed by their mother.

Zech 12:

10  And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for him as one grieves for a firstborn.

11  In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12  And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Natan by itself, and their wives by themselves;

13  the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves;

14  all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.

Those Israelites, which hope for the Messiah, will get to know at the time of tribulation that Jesus is their Messiah.

                                                                                * * * * *

The 70. week is the time, when the number of the first fruits will be finished, also when the community of Christ will be completed.  To those belong also the dead, which have lived in God.

 

But what happens to those from the nations, who did not live in Christ?

The living experience now the reign of Satan on earth during the Apocalypse. There they will be forced to decide: Either a bargain in the spirit of Satan or the death.

But God waits for them to add the second full number, by which Satan can be expelled from heaven.

 

The death stay in the realm of death until the end of days. This lasts at least 1000 years. Then comes the Final Judgement.

                                                                                  * * * * *

Seven years are arranged by God to wake up mankind.  Without the fatal influence of Satan on thinking and acting of man this will succeed in an astonishing extend.  Our imagination is not so wide, that we can imagine a world, where Satan has no influence.

 

People will wake up to the insight, that they head in sleepwalk to an abyss, which they possibly can escape at the end of time.

                                                                                                                                  20. 5. 2021, deFrohna.
