In the Olivet discourse (Jesus describing the end-times to His disciples, on the Mount of Olives), He comments on the generation who will see these signs,
Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near — at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Matt 24:32-35
In light of seeing all these things, and using the time 70 year time period as a generational marker, with an understanding of the 50th year Jubilee, lets simply consider the timing in the chart below:
As mentioned, post the battles of 1948, 1967 and 1973, we will see a series of conflicts, along with the battles yet to come, that will stammer into the Battle of Armageddon.
As mentioned, the word week in the Bible refers to the count or measurement of seven, whether in days, weeks, months, years or millennia. The seventh (day, week, month, year or millennia) is always referred to as the Sabbath. For an example, God rested on the seventh day. The land is to rest every seventh year and the earth will enter into rest on the seventh millennial day, known as the Millennial Reign of Christ.
Daniel's final 70th Week is referring to the last seven years before the millennial Sabbath, known as the Millennial Reign of Christ.
You can float the 3 ½ /7 year count over any year to view any given scenario.
The purpose of this visual is simply to gain a perspective of timing, not to predict a time. You can draw your own scenarios and rapture targets, my purpose is to simply suggest a point of reference as to the hour in which we are living.
After reviewing basic timing and context principles, the coming years on this planet are going to be a rough go!
By considering the different scenarios where Daniel’s 70th Week might occur, we can start to appreciate the extraordinary times that we are living in!
