Messiah arrives after the 7 and 62 weeks.2nd Period -- "threescore and two weeks" = 434 years; from 405 B.C. to the time of Messiah's 1st coming 29 A.D. At the end of this period Messiah was "cut off". This is all that is pointing to Messiah.
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:
Thats 69 weeks passing UNTIL Messiah.
Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit at his baptism, to preach the good news of redemption through the shedding of his blood.
Jn 1
31 I did not recognize Him [as the Messiah]; but I came baptizing in water so that He would be [publicly] revealed to Israel.”
32 John gave [further] evidence [testifying officially for the record, with validity and relevance], saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 33 I did not recognize Him [as the Messiah], but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this One is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 I myself have [actually] seen [that happen], and my testimony is that this is the Son of God!”
Lk 4
Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (the Messiah), Because He has anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor. He has sent Me to announce release (pardon, forgiveness) to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, To set free those who are oppressed (downtrodden, bruised, crushed by tragedy),
You have the Lord cut off the moment he arrives which is nonsense. He accomplished redemption in the 70th week.
24 “Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] have been decreed for your people and for your holy city (Jerusalem),
to finish the transgression,
to make an end of sins,
to make atonement (reconciliation) for wickedness,
to bring in everlasting righteousness (right-standing with God),
to seal up vision and prophecy and prophet, and
to anoint the Most Holy Place.
The 70th week has everything to do with the Lords accomplishment of redemption / atonement.
Jn 17
