One 'week' of years... Hmmmmm
Jesus begins his ministry by saying ;
Mark 1:14-15
14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
(KJV)
Do you know of any prophecy other than Dan's that is or could be construed as a 'clock'? I dont. So I'll contend Jesus is referring to Dan 9, while granting he does not say so explicitly.
Shortly after he is baptized and John calls him the' Lamb of God'
In the next three and a half years Jesus gains his following ,performs miracles and enters Jerusalem as King.
Then the Cross and Resurrection.
Again bowing as I do the the authority of the NT and noting the writer's understanding of the ancient Scriptures we find an interesting message:
Heb 9:26
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
(KJV)
So far we have
'the time is fulfilled'
the baptism of our Lord
the inaugural utterance of the greatest of NT truths; 'Behold the Lamb of God'
the 'Prince of Peace' confirming the New Covenant with his own blood and as confirmed by H9;26 in the very act of his
Sacrifice, rendering the old world of daily sacifices obsolete.
Does any of this passage seem familiar?
Mark 14:24
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
(KJV)
He uses the same term we see in ,,,Dan 9 while he is explicitly announcing,,, the New Testament which is the same as New Covenant.
Do you think there is a correlation between his public work of 3 1/2 years and the settling of the terms, (confirmation by blood) of the Covenant?
Futurists make a great deal of Jesus coming to the 'lost sheep of Israel'. Far too many times they take it upon themselves to add 'only' to M15;24 even though some of his earlist converts were gentiles. But these same folks forget that it takes a while ,for the majority of the Aposotles evengelism to move beyond the Nation.
About the time of Stephen's martyrdom,,, or about seven years from the time Jesus was baptized.
Dont forget, the last of the OT Prophets under the influence of the Holy Spirit introduces Jesus ,not as a temporal king, not as Messiah, but the 'Lamb of God'.
Only this office holder is equipped to meet the requirements of Dan 9;27, making forever obselete the blood os sheep and goats.
Take care
