I go by Biblical years using the day/year principle. Unlike you and everyone else here, I don't change my exegesis from year to day, then from day to year, back and forth depending on which way the wind blows.
Messiah was cut off on day, i.e., year 2300 which began after the flood of Noah...
When God made the covenant with Noah, the 2300 day/year clock began ticking at that moment. Again, I stick with years as is proper exegesis.
Sorry, I wrote that wrong. I meant the 1260/1290/1335/2300 days prophecy ended in 70AD.
The Crucifixion was when Messiah was 'cut off' in the middle of the final week. I do not believe in a future '7 year' or '3-1/2 year' continuation after some imaginary gap of time.
Here is my timeline:
- Woman on moon flees to the wilderness, i.e., the Exodus.
- Moses builds Tabernacle in the Wilderness on day/year 1.
- The Seed of the Woman on moon is nourished for 1260 days/years until Jesus is born.
- At the same time, the Two Witnesses testify from Moses to John the Baptist for1260 days/years.
- Jesus is born on day/year 1260.
- Jesus begins ministry on day/year 1290, thirty years later.
- On day/year 1290, the Two Witnesses are killed. This would be the beginning of week 70.
- 3-1/2 days/years later, in the middle of the week, the Crucifixion takes place.
- The Two Witnesses are raised. A great earthquake occurs.
- On day/year 1335, 45 years later, Jerusalem is destroyed.
It all fits perfectly in normal chronological order. No crazy convoluted charts are required. God wishes for prophecy to be easily understood, but not too easily.
My chart is simple, and easy to understand, and most importantly it is Biblical:
Several people in this thread are giving glory and power to Antiochus IV Epiphanes by erasing the Crucifixion and Jesus from the Book of Daniel. Moreover they congratulate themselves as if they did something amazing by 'solving the riddle'. All they managed to accomplish is promote the lies vomited by those that hate the New Testament, hate Christians and hate Jesus. It is disgusting really.
By using Antiochus IV Epiphanes as a scapegoat for the NT haters, they have now thrown the REAL Little Horn and all of that amazing OT history into the garbage. Instead of the Abomination of Desolation being about the Crucifixion of Jesus and destruction of Jerusalem, they made it about some stupid pig and 'happy Hanukkah'. What a joke.
Like I said, the verses in Daniel 11, from 20 onward, are about Rome (fourth kingdom) and Julius Caesar (raiser of taxes), Augustus (who the Prince of the Covenant is broken) and King Herod and his dynasty (tidings from the eastern Magi trouble him). It is all there in plain sight, but again folks here would rather erase Jesus from Daniel so that the prophecies are 'politically correct', sanitized, and follow the 'official narrative' of the NT haters.
