Daniel #20
Daniel deals with the time factor of the tribulation - 70 weeks (Dan 9:24-27). Background: Zedekiah ignored Jeremiah and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar. (2Ch 36:11-21) The people were to be in captivity for 70 years according to Jeremiah (2Ch 36:21). Daniel studied Jeremiah (Dan 9:2, Jer 25:11-12, Jer 29:10-14). Daniel begins to pray in accordance with God's word -- his prayers had great power (1Jo 5:14-15, Jam 5:16). Daniel gets his answer by Gabriel - the messiah wouldn't come for 490 years - seven sabaticals - to the 2nd advent (Dan 9:24). There are 360 days in a Jewish year. Tribulation prophecy equivalent time periods: "time, times and half times" (Dan 7:24-25), "1260 days" (Rev 12:6) or "42 months" (Rev 13:5). The one specific prophecy permission to "rebuild the wall of Jerusalem" - BC 445 1st of nissan March 14th (Neh 2:1-8). March 14th, 445 BC forward 173880 days to April 6th, 32 AD is the triumphal entry (Dan 9:25-26, Zec 9:9, Luk 19:28-48). Where did the wise men come from (Mat 2:1-2)? Daniel's wise men (Dan 2:48) carried tradition for 483 years. The Prince to come will destroy the sanctuary (Dan 9:26, Mat 24:2, Luk 21:20, Mat 24:6-8). The Great Tribulation starts at the stopping of worship (Dan 9:27, Mat 24:21).
