I’m so discouraged but I will keep believing. Faith in Jesus is all I have left. He is a Good! He has provided for me this far. Faith! I’m keeping faith even though it is difficult at this time. I’m so ashamed and embarrassed over my situation. But I know God will make a way for me and my children. I lost my job as a social worker because I declined the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and heart disease. I’m on a bunch of medications. I’m facing homelessness because I’m having a hard time coming up with my rent. Every month is a struggle. I can’t be on the streets with two young children. I’m so depressed. My husband passed away three years ago, I miss him dearly. I’m still coping with his death. I have two sons both are autistic, and non verbal. I am so overwhelmed at this point in time, it’s so hard on me. I am all alone no family nor friends to help me durning my time of need. But it’s my faith in God that will carry me through. I’m sharing my story because we should have freedom to choose. Please keep me and my children in your prayers thank you. God bless.

Daniel chapters 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 are all prophecies that tie in to one another that repeat and enlarge as you read them, you get more information. In Daniel chapter 2, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has a dream of a statue of a man made of different metals (head of gold-Babylon, chest and arms of silver-Medes and Persians, belly and thighs of bronze-Greece, legs of iron-Rome) pointing to the rise and fall of kingdoms, the breakup of Rome, and the coming of the Messiah (the stone that strikes the statue at the feet of iron and clay is the Messiah and His kingdom). Daniel chapter 7 is the rise and fall of kingdoms, breakup of Rome, rise of the beast power, coming of Christ, and His judgment. Daniel chapter 7 has 4 beasts rising up out of the sea. A lion with eagles wings (Babylon). A bear raised up on one side with 3 ribs in its mouth (Media-Persia, Persia is stronger than the Medes, and Babylon, Egypt, and Lydia are conquered). A 4 headed leopard with 4 wings (Greece, 4 wings are for speed, 4 heads are the 4 generals of Alexander the Great that take over when Alexander dies, who are Cassander, Ptolemy, Lysimachus, and Seleucus). The last beast is a dreadful beast with iron teeth (iron legs of statue point to Rome), 10 horns (Europe, also 10 toes of statue), a little horn (a small nation, beast power) uprooted 3 horns (Heruli, Vandals and Ostrogoths). The beast power will speak pompous words against the Most High, persecute the saints, try to change the 10 commandments (times and law), for a time, times, half a time (or dividing of time), 3 1/2 years, 42 months, 1, 260 days all mean the samething and are the same point in history and can be found in both books of Daniel and Revelation which is a 1, 260 year prophecy which starts in 538 AD, the beginning of the Dark Ages and Protestant Reformation, and ends in 1798 AD when Napoleon sends his General Berthier into the Vatican and arrests Pope Pius VI. Daniel chapter 8 is the prophecy of the Medes and Persians (the ram with one horn higher than the other, imbalance in power, goes north, south, west, 3 kingdoms conquered, Babylon, Egypt, and Lydia), Alexander the Great, and Greece (the goat with one horn who is Alexander, then breaks into 4 pieces pointing again to the 4 generals). The rise of the beast power comes from one of the broken horn pieces or divided kingdoms of Greece. In Daniel 8:13-14, two holy ones were speaking to one another about the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation... Daniel 8:14 And he said to me, "For 2, 300 days, then the sanctuary shall be cleansed." Gabriel is sent to interpret the vision to Daniel. In Daniel 8:27 I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days...I was astonished by the vision, but no one UNDERSTOOD it. Daniel chapter 9, Daniel, reading the book of Jeremiah, prays for the people and himself asking for forgiveness. Daniel knows that the 70 years of captivity is close to ending. In Daniel 9:21-22, Gabriel is sent to give Daniel the skill to understand both prophecies of chapters 8 (2, 300 days-years), and now Daniel 9:20-27 is the 70-week prophecy (490 years). Daniel 9:24, 70-weeks are determined for "YOUR" PEOPLE and for "YOUR" HOLY CITY... this 70-week prophecy is for the Jewish nation to know exactly when the Messiah was going to appear and to accept Him. Daniel 9:25, know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem. In 457 BC the decree to rebuild Jerusalem even in troublesome times, prophecy fulfilled in Ezra chapter 7 and also in the book of Nehemiah, (starting point of both prophecies, 2, 300 days and 70 weeks, 457 BC), Daniel 9:24 to anoint The Most Holy, and Daniel 9:25 until Messiah the Prince. In 27AD Jesus is baptized and anointed with the Holy Spirit and starts His 3 1/2 year ministry at the age of 30, (483 years, 69 weeks fulfilled at Jesus' baptism, one week of prophesy is left, 7 years). Physical anointing with oil was always a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The anointing of the Messiah was the real thing not by oil but by the Father anointing Him with the Spirit, (can be found in Luke 3:21-22, and Luke 4:17-19 which was prophesied in the book of Isaiah). Daniel 9:26 Messiah shall be cut off but not for Himself, Daniel 9:27 in the middle of the week (the end of the first 3 1/2 years) He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. Jesus was crucified in 31 AD, and the veil was torn from top to bottom, bringing an end to sacrifice and offering, Matt 27:51, Mark 15:38. (Last of the second 3 1/2 years from the week) 34 AD Stephen is stoned, Acts chapters 6-8 Stephen is reasoning with the Jews to accept Jesus whom they crucified, they rejected Jesus, and stoned Stephen, the Gospel then goes to the Gentiles. In Luke 23:34, Jesus said, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do (the end of the first 3 1/2 years)." In Acts 7:60 Stephen said, Lord, "do not charge them with this sin (the end of the second 3 1/2 years which is the end of the 490 year prophecy or 70 weeks)." Acts 8:26-40 Christ is preached to an Ethiopian eunuch (who is a Gentile) by Philip, Acts chapters 10 and 11 the story of Cornelius (who is a Gentile) and Peter. Daniel chapters 10-12, all repeat and expand on the prophecies of Daniel 2, 7-9. Daniel 12:11-12 also has a 1, 290 days/year prophecy and a 1, 335 days/year prophecy. If the 2, 300 years and 70 weeks/490 years start in 457 BC, then the 70 weeks/490 years would end in 34 AD, and the 2, 300 years would end in 1844 AD. Daniel 12:9, the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end (the time of the end began some time after 1798). Daniel 12:10, none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand (at the end of the 2, 300 years, the wise will begin to understand the prophecies in the book of Daniel). Daniel 12:11, from the time that the daily sacrifices are taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be 1, 290 days/years (in 538 AD, the emperor Justinian gave the pope of Rome the control over civil and religious authority. In 508 AD, that process began historically as the papacy gained its power and finally conquered the Ostrogoths by 538 AD. 508 and 1, 290 is 1, 798). Daniel 12:12, blessed is he who waits, and comes to the 1, 335 days/years (508 and 1, 335 is 1, 843. In 1843, the eyes of the wise started to comprehend and understand the prophecies in the book of Daniel). Matthew 24:15-16, Jesus speaks about the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet, which is the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. The prophecies are and have to be consistent and can not be separated or broken off to end and start again. From Genesis to Revelation is the story of Jesus. It is about His-story.

Daniel 9:24 says, "Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city." Notice it says "your holy city." Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD and therefore the fulfillment of prophecy. Also see verse 26, "Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (temple) the end of it shall be with a flood." The end of it was like a flood when the Roman armies came in and destroyed Jerusalem. That happened in 70AD and was the "2nd presence of Jesus". Also see the 12th chapter of Daniel which is about the "time of the end" - the end of the law covenant age and law covenant, not the "end of time" as some people think. That world (or age) came to an end in 70AD.

Very interesting & plausible so I’m not going to knock it because I’m no expert….However here’s another theory…l have also heard that some scholars say Jesus was born in around 4or3bce? if that is the case & his ministry being 3 1/2 years ending with his crucifixion & resurrection after which he tarred 40 days before ascending into heaven takes you to 30ce? if you then take a day for a year in bible prophecy which equates as 40 years that bring you to the year 70ce in which is when the destruction of the temple occurred…is that not also a plausible explanation too?
My point being is that the jewish people would have 40years in which to recognise Jesus as their messiah after which God would remove the temple with its destruction as it was prophesied to be done & was indeed fulfilled in 70ce by the Roman legions under the command of Titus as was witnessed by Josephus.

Have you considered the possibility of a second 70 week period? The Ottomans also made a decree in 1535 to rebuild the walls. 62 weeks later Jerusalem had been recaptured. I won’t argue with your 455 date but others have said it was 457. Little difference though. By the time 62 weeks expired, Jerusalem had just been recaptured in the 67 war. Had that not happened my theory would be moot. But using the 457 date, the 69 weeks ended just after that sign of the Virgin in Rev 12. In that sign, Jupiter represented Jesus in the womb of Virgo for precisely the time of a human birth. So according to that sign he’s on the earth now. We’re coincidentally going through tribulations of all kinds right now. The rider on the white horse is already here beginning to conquer but we don’t see him until the end of the 7 years for sure. If you kept on reading Daniel, you see the phrase the people of the prince who is to come. They already set up the AoD and it’s Christianity that follows a man standing in the temple in heaven declaring himself to be god, that survived a mortal wound. It’s a counterfeit image of the historical Jesus.

Daniel's Seventy Sevens (or Weeks)

Correct Reckoning:

70 × 7 = 490

7 × 7 = 49

62 × 7 = 434

0550 BC - 49 = 0501 BC

434 - 0029 AD = 0405 BC

0501 BC - 0405 = 96

1913 AD + 96 = 2009 AD

Where:

0550 BC First year of Cyrus's rule
                 when he issued the decree
                 to restore and rebuild
                 Jerusalem

0029 AD Jesus Christ was baptized
                 by John the Baptist,
                 began his ministry,
                 founded his Church
                 and died on the cross

1913 AD Felix Manalo Ysagun
                 founded the Iglesia Ni Cristo

2009 AD JOSHUA MANALO
                 WAS PRONOUNCED
                 AS THE LION OF JUDAH
😇😇

Disastrous! Based on the scripture, Jesus died in AD 30. Jesus was born in BC 5. That’s the fact.
