There is nothing in here to indicate that the covenant will last 7 years, nothing at all.Trekson said:Hi Flaming, The passage reads as follows:
Daniel 9:27
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Now we know that the "one week" equals 7 yrs. Whether one believes it is a new covenant or the confirming of an existing covenant doesn't matter. The scriptures limit it to a "one week" period. No aspect of any covenant Christ was connected to had such limitation, thus the "new covenant" is NOT the covenant being spoken of here which leads to the obvious conclusion that Christ is not the one pictured in this prophecy. Now exactly, how is this misread?
Yes Jesus made a new covenant, it is an everlasting covenant.
Jesus did confirm the covenant for one week.
3 and a half years of his ministry.
3 and a half years of the Church to the Jews.
at the end of those 7 years Cornelious became the first gentile convert thus ending the one week of the confirmation.
