Marv,

exactly why I believe it is possible only 3.5 yrs are left.

can you show me anywhere in Revelation where 7 years is mentioned?

Two conteneus 42 month periods equals seven years.

The One Seven is mentioned in Daniel. (9:27) The two halves are mentioned in Daniel. The middle is mentioned in Matt 24.

I believe that Jesus' ministry was only 2 1/2 years long.  If you read John's gospel, taking note of the Feasts mentioned, I only see 2 1/2 years from baptism to crucifixion.

You may be right. I've not studied this hard enough. Well, the burden is on William and Serving to prove this was 3.5 years. So let's see what conclusive evidence they have to prove that. Actually I think William believes the final week was 66-73 ad which doesn't seem to include baptism to Calvary timeline. So let's see what Serving has.

Marv,

dont you find it "interesting" that Revelation never mentions a 7 year period, only 3.5?

What do you think of this visual for Daniels 70 weeks? I got it from Torah class.com.  I believe this website is Messaianic.

William,

didnt you say somewhere you believed the last week of Daniel was 66-73 ad, the Jewish war?

if God gave them 40 years to think about it, when did that 40 years commence? I guess according to this calculation, it commenced at 26 ad.  Does that make sense?

and, on what basis can you delay the 70th week by 40 years?  I know they wandered in the wilderness for that long, but can you connect these two events with the same number?  How can you be sure? It seems arbitrary and a filler to me.

Digging into some old posts, eh?

The 40 years commenced after Crucifixion week in April, 27 AD. Like all time prophecies, these were 360-day years, so the 40 times/"years" ended in autumn 66 AD, when the Roman army first encompassed Jerusalem:

Luke 21:20 ...when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

Jesus was crucified on a Passover, on the same day of the week of the Exodus-era first Passover, which former Passover began the 40-year period of Israel's probation. The same pattern was followed after the Crucifixion Passover, because everything done during the Exodus was a type and shadow of events in the time of the Coming of Christ. The Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples on Shavuot, the same day Moses and the elders were admitted into the Presence during the Exodus.

After the 40 years in the wilderness, Israel crossed over Jordan into the Promised Land. After the 40 years of Israel's probation after the Crucifixion, the believers in the Holy Land crossed back over the Jordan to escape to the city of Pella. Notice how the armies of Rome encompassed Jerusalem immediately after the 40 years, even as the armies of Israel encompassed Jericho immediately after the 40 years. These things are not coincidence.

Ok, thanks William.
