In according to Daniel:

 

• Dan 9:24 -> " Seventy weeks are decreed as to your people and as to your holy city, to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy."

 

To the end of the seventieth week, all the sin should  cease, and we know that this didn't take place. Therefore, the seventieth week still didn't come about.

 

Thank you and you are absolutely correct... people will sin until the very end, but that is not what the purpose of Jesus was... to eliminate our “sinning”... His death on the Cross AND our belief He came to die for OUR sins will remove or take away all our sins at the judgement day. He knows we will NEVER stop “sinning”, but He did stop or cease OUR punishment for our sins IF we believe in Him.. 

The verse is “spiritual” and not a worldly removal of sins. 

If you will, the Jews KNEW their Messiah was about to come but they expected a conquering king who would destroy their enemies (Rome), But Jesus did not come to physically destroy Rome but to destroy sin... that was their real enemy not a Roman force... that is one of the reasons they could not and did not accept Him... they wanted or expected a military type king. It is exactly the same with the most important verses in Daniel 9:24 - 27, they must not be interpreted in a physical manner ... obviously, if Jesus wanted to physically destroy He would have sent one angel to do that but He is the ONLY One who could destroy sin and death itself. 

So, everyone has and will never stop “sinning”, but for those who trust in Jesus will never have their “sins” brought done on them. He has eliminated them for us... they indeed cease to exist if we believe in Him.

The Cross occurred exactly in the middle of the last week in Daniel’s 70th week prophecy. He spent 4 of the 7 Passovers and fulfilled 4 of the 7 Feasts during those years. He will fulfill the last 3 Feasts at the end times. On the Cross Jesus cried out 2 important thoughts on this subject that ties directly with those verses in Daniel: Jesus came to destroy sin but was prevented by His crucifixion- BUT He still would NEVER leave us until He fulfilled His earthly mission (despite the Cross). He said on the Cross, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do”... this has more than one meaning but it is to tell US that WE did not realize why He came ... to destroy sin not a Roman force. Secondly, before He died He told US that, “it is finished”, meaning, despite our actions ending with His crucifixion and certainly within 1/2 of the last week of Daniel where He was to complete / fulfill the 6 requirements in Daniel, He WOULD complete and finish His mission.

We must learn not to interpret Daniel in a worldly manner... almost ALL contend, especially the Jews, and MOST Christians that 9:24-27 can not be speaking about Jesus since they contend only 3 of the 6 have been fulfilled at the time of Jesus.... they further contend the remaining 3 will be fulfilled at His second coming. But that is only true if we continue to view or interpret those verses as man  normally does- in a physical or worldly manner. Jesus was fighting for our soul - not a peaceful world without sin... that can only happen when we are with Him and sin will never tear its ugly head ever again.

Let me know your thoughts, Charlie
