The focus of this discussion is on the 70 weeks prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27, which outlines the timeline for the arrival of the Messiah and the subsequent events. I argue that the prophecy has been fulfilled, and futurism, which predicts a future tribulation period and the rise of the Antichrist, is an incorrect interpretation of biblical prophecy.

The 70 weeks are divided into three parts: seven weeks, 62 weeks, and a final week. The beginning of the timeline is the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. I believe that Sir Robert Anderson, in his book "The Coming Prince," accurately calculated the timeline to align with Jesus Christ's entry into Jerusalem as the Messiah. Anderson used the 360-day prophetic year and determined that the 69 weeks (seven plus 62) equated to 173,880 days, precisely the time between the decree and Christ's entry.

Regarding the final week, I believe Jesus' baptism marked the beginning of the 70th week, followed by his three-and-a-half-year ministry. At the midpoint of this week, Jesus was crucified, causing the sacrifices and offerings to cease. I emphasize that Jesus' sacrifice fulfilled the six purposes of the prophecy mentioned in Daniel 9:24, including the end of sin, reconciliation, and the anointing of the Most Holy.

I then discuss the events following Jesus' crucifixion, pointing out that the disciples knew and understood the prophecies pertaining to Christ. They recognized that the time for the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy was drawing near, which is why they wondered if John the Baptist was the Messiah. The disciples were also aware of the prophecies concerning the coming of the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts 2:38.

Next, I address the question of when God made his first recorded move towards the Gentiles. In Acts 8:5, Philip went to Samaria and preached the Gospel, despite Jesus' earlier instruction not to do so. I argue that this was not a rebellion but an indication that the prophetic restriction had been fulfilled. Paul and Barnabas also preached to the Gentiles, as recorded in Acts 13:45-47, demonstrating that the time had come for the Gospel to be shared with the nations.

I challenge futurism, stating that if the 70 weeks prophecy has been fulfilled, there is no basis for a future tribulation period or the rise of the Antichrist. I criticize futurist interpretations for contradicting the 110th Psalm, which states that the Lord will remain at God's right hand until his enemies are made his footstool.

In conclusion, I contend that the fulfillment of the 70 weeks prophecy provides a solid foundation for understanding biblical prophecy and the events that have yet to occur. I assert that Ezekiel's prophecies against Gog and Magog, found in Ezekiel 38-39, are on the verge of being fulfilled, indicating that the world is in the midst of the seventh vial of Revelation.

I encourage you to study the Bible, particularly the King James Version, and to seek the truth about prophecy and the person of Jesus Christ. I criticize the Scofield Bible for promoting false interpretations of prophecy and suggest setting it aside in favor of versions that do not contain misleading notes.

In summary, I argue that the 70 weeks prophecy in Daniel has been fulfilled, demonstrating the accuracy of the Bible and the centrality of Jesus Christ in God's plan. I urge you to study scripture and seek the truth, rejecting futurist interpretations that contradict the fulfilled prophecies of the Bible.
