I'm sorry for my ignorance but I would like to understand your view. What does Nehemiah 2 have to do with Daniel 9?

I agree part of it is about Israel and earthly Jerusalem but it's concerning the end of Israel and earthly Jerusalem. Daniel 9 is a prophecy of the messiah coming and taking the kingdom away from the Jews.

I'm not ignoring the 7 and 62 weeks, I just don't know when the decree to restore and build Jerusalem was given. That's kind of what I'm hoping to learn in this discussion.

Palm Sunday started Passion week. Jesus kicked off the events that would lead to his death, burial and resurrection that week. That confirmed that the promises made to Abraham were accomplished. Paul mentions Jesus confirming that covenant here: Galatians 3:17 And this I say, that the covenant...

Thanks Eternally Grateful, that fits with my view of the 70 weeks. 69 weeks end on palm Sunday and the 70th week concluded when Jesus confirmed the covenant God made to Abraham.

I don't know when the 70 weeks started. I lean toward the 70 weeks being literal weeks mainly because of Daniel 9:27. Jesus literally fulfilled that verse exactly. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on palm Sunday, was crucified and rose again exactly one week later, confirming the covenant God made with...

I agree and Colossians 1:13 is a powerful verse.

I don't think the temple has anything to do with Daniel 9 but there are two things that we do know. Eliah (John the Baptist) came and restored all things and Jesus built heavenly Jerusalem as shown in Hebrew 12:22 that you posted.

I've been looking too.... not too much information about it for sure. I read an article online that claimed anywhere from 3 months to 3 years. It was a complicated read and I kind of got lost lol. Thanks for your input.

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. This is off topic but...

Does anyone know how long John the Baptist's ministry was?

I've never looked at that way, it's a possibility for sure.

Good stuff MatthewG thanks!

Good point, that would mean "anoint the most Holy" in Dan 9:24 was fulfilled at that time. I think the futurist view is that this hasn't happened yet. Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to...

Jeff if Mark is pointing to the 70th week being at hand, which I think I agree with, wouldn't that make the completion of the 70th week 7 years after Jesus' statement in Mark? I don't follow the 70 week of years interpretation so I may be reckoning that wrong.
