2011 - 2018 An Intriguing Date Range for Daniel's 70th week

Posted by on 21 July 2011 | 0 Comments

This article is highly speculative, but it's a reminder that we should always be looking for the signs pointing to the Lord's Second Coming.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Daniel 9:27 seems to suggest a seven year covenant will mark the beginning of Daniel's 70th week, or as many people call it, the Tribulation.  The first 3 1/2 years (1,260 days) will start with the "Beginning of the Birth Pains."  The second 3 1/2 years (1,260 days) will be much more difficult and is frequently referred to as the time of "Great Tribulation."  In total, the 70th week of Daniel is 7 years in length.

The potential start date of Daniel's 70th week can be calculated fairly easily. Here's some simple math supporting the 7 year date range of 2011-2018:

1948 the year Israel was reborn as a nation. 
+  70 years (the length of time of a generation)
2018 the year of our Lord's return, 2018, will mark 70 years of Israel being a nation.
-     7 years of Daniel's 70th week
2011 the year that will mark the start of Daniel's 70th week?

Again, I am not date setting, merely pointing out an intriguing date range.  If this date range is correct, then this coming season of autumn is the time we should be watching for signs that the beginning of the End Times are here.

The reason I say the autumn season is that there is also strong evidence that the end of Daniel's 70th week, on any given year, will occur on the Fall Jewish Feast days.  For example, let's look at Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement.  Looking seven years ahead in the Jewish calendar, September 19, 2018 is Yom Kippur.  This could possibly be the date that will mark the end of Daniel's 70th week.  It is on this day that the Jewish people's sins will be atoned for and they will be reconciled to Jesus Christ, the Messiah.  (Click on the image below to learn more about my views on the Feasts of the Lord.)

I want to recommend two powerful videos that suggest God is trying to get our attention.  The first is just unbelievable.  It may be THE most convincing argument supporting the 2011-2018 date range for Daniel's 70th week.  (Click here, or on the image below to see the video of Mark Blitz explaning the singnificance of the upcoming blood moons/lunar eclipses.)

These eclipses would correspond to the middle of Daniel's 70 week, which will be a very bad time period for the nation Israel. The years 2014/2015 would be the mid-point of the 70th week and when the anti-Christ enters the Temple in Jerusalem and proclaims he's God.

Here is another very powerful video presenting natural disaster events that have occurred in the last few years. When viewed, you see how back to back to back the sorrows have hit.  Has God begun shaking the nations?

Haggai 2:7 (NIV) I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.

Finally, on September 29, 2011 Rosh Hashanah begins.  This is the 63rd Feast of Trumpets since Israel was reborn and the prophecy of "this generation will pass away until all these things have been fufilled" began.  Exactly 7 years later, 2018, will mark 70 years since Israel was reborn.

Hmmmmmm.  That's a lot to think about.
