Vet, your user of the ESV bible differs from my use of the KJV. When you gave your outline you related events differently and withoiut clarity.... read mine and see the consice pattern..... And though I read others works much and studied much this I arrived personally.
I really don't use the ESV brother, I use the 1611 KJV. I only gave that ESV example above because that's the version you referenced back at your post #54.
Below I replied to your questions in red with Blue type after it...
you wrote:
Start of the "one week" (7 years) ------------- 7 years or days? ----- 7 literal years, each 'week' of the 70 weeks given in Dan.9:24 represent a period of 7 years (based on Daniel's understanding about his study in Dan.9:2). Thus the total 70 weeks equal 490 years all in all.
220 days - "league" of 7 years made -----------another 7 years or days? ------- 220 literal days; this is 220 days already into the first 1260 day period, i.e., the first half of Daniel's symbolic "one week" of Dan.9:27. Remember, 1260 days X 2 = 7 years, literally.
Another way to represent the 220 days is this:
------------- Start of 1st 1260 day period
220 days |
------------- End of 220 day period - start count of the 2300 days period to finish of whole 70 weeks prophecy (Dan.8:14)
1040 days |
------------- End of 1040 days, and thus the 1st 1260 day period (note 220 + 1040 = 1260)
MID-POINT of the "one week"
-----------
Start of the 1040 days -------------begining of the Daily Sacrifice? ------- probably not. The sacrifice will probably already be going on during that period. At some point within this 1st half of Daniel's "one week", a temple must be prepared for the false one to place the abomination at the mid-point of the "one week", and sacrifices must already be going on, per Dan.8:11-13; Dan.9:27; Dan.11:31, and Dan.12:11.
-----------
(1st 1260 days period completed)
---------- = MID POINT OF THE "ONE WEEK" -------Abomination of Desolation occurs? ----- Yes, this is when the "league" of Dan.11:23 and Dan.9:27 is broken. That pact will have been made in the 220 days of the 1st half 1260 day period. And it's to be made for the whole "one week" (7 years). The sacrifices are ended, and the abomination idol setup in instead.
"league" broken - End of sacrifice and abomination setup
1260 days to the finish - great tribulation
-----------------
Cleansing of the sanctuary
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are discussing the time of the Abomination of Desolation in relationship to the Daily Sacrifive and the cleansing o the Temple's sanctuary, aslo the 7 day period(s) So I will use those terms....
Also, when is the covenant made and when is it confirmed?
You can call the KJV "one week" of Dan.9:27 a 7 day period, but it's to represent years per the 70 weeks prophecy (70 weeks = 490 years). In the Hebrew it's actual a 'seven', same numeral idea used to represent a period of a week elsewhere in God's Word. Dan.9:2 reveals the prophecy given Daniel is to be understood in years, which is why the 70 years study in Jeremiah is mentioned.
I contend....

..............The "fist" 7 day period is here and Daily Sacrifice stopped...Covenant Made

In Daniel 12:11 KJV it clearly tells us there is 1,290 between the time the Daily Sacrifice is stopped
and the Abomination of Desolation is committed.
[background=rgb(255, 255, 255)] Daniel 12:11
King James Version (KJV)[/background]
[background=rgb(255, 255, 255)][sup]11 [/sup]And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Exactly how are you getting around the 1,290 day span between the two events?
I still do not see your logic.[/background]
I don't see how you can figure the "one week" of Dan.9:27 as a literal seven day period. Because of the prophecy in Dan.9:24-26 we know each week is symbolic of a seven YEAR period.
By the time of Dan.9:27, a total of 69 weeks have passed, which equal two periods mentioned, a seven week period and a sixty two week period. So 7 weeks x 7 = 49 years, and 62 weeks x 7 = 434 years. A total of 483 years of the 70 weeks prophecy has already passed. It's the final remaining "one week" of 7 years that is the topic here we're discussing. These events we're talking about make up the 3rd period in the prophecy that have yet to be fulfilled. The total is 70 weeks x 7 = 490 years. We're still at 483 years into the prophecy. That's why assuming that "one week" of Dan.9:27 is only a seven day period doesn't fit the timeline of the 70 weeks Daniel was given, because it's in 70 weeks of years (seventy sevens per the Hebrew).
actually i need to edit this.. no i am not i am keeping "and" as it refers to two different things taking place one a the begining AND one at the ending.
Vet errs, there is no starting point unless that time span separates them.
I am not sure how you figure the verses contend some imaginary start point ior end point, when both beginning and ending are already provided.
You realize this is almost impossible to do without the aid of real chart lines and dividers.
culminate after 1290 days with the resurrection. IT DOES NOT SAY THAT... One must imagine the ressurrection being inclusive AND I am te one implying different words??? not at all and it also fits without imagining anything.
You're still treating the Dan.12:11 verse as a separate statement apart from it's relation to the flow of the Dan.12 chapter about the finish of the 3.5 years of Dan.12:6-7. And I don't know where you're getting that "culminate after the 1290 days with the resurrection". I never said nor inferred that.
The end of the vision, the sealing it up ends at what point? At the end of the 2nd 1260 day period. That's when Christ's coming and the resurrection is. The cleansing of the sanctuary begins after that, which is the 30 days shown added onto that 1260 days per Dan.12:11. Have you bothered to look at Dan.9:24 again, to see how the idea of anointing the most Holy is after the completed 70 weeks?
How doies it mke a complete sentence when one writes..... The Daily sacrifice and the abomination of desolation take place 1,290 days before the --------------------- ! it lacks as a sentence and is not a completed sentence.
and what ressurredction? that happened near 2000 years ago
I don't understand what you're getting at.
I'll try to do a chart again:
Daniel's "one week" of Dan.9:27 = 1260 days + 1260 days
That's TWO 1260 day periods, not one. Per the Dan.9:27 verse, the symbolic "one week" is divided into TWO 1260 day periods.
