Top Highlights
“Please note that the first 69 weeks only measured a period of time, viz. 483 years until the baptism of Christ, or as Daniel wrote: ‘Until Messiah the Prince’ or the Anointed. The opening words of Jesus when He began His ministry were, ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He hath anointed Me.’ (Luke 4:18a) The first 69 weeks literally described the return of the Jews from Babylon and the rebuilding of Jerusalem during the first 7 weeks. The remaining 62 weeks is only a space of time until the 70th week. Everything in the prophecy hinged on the specific and detailed fulfillment of the 70th week 7+62+1=70.” (source)
“What Mr. Ironside fails to reveal is that the prophets were not telling just what they saw as men standing on the prairie, but as we read in 2 Peter 2:21, ‘For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.’ In view of the fact that the Bible was Divinely inspired, any suggestion that the prophets were less than 100% accurate in their predictions reflects on the Holy Spirit, the INSPIRER.” (source)
“Dispensationalism is bankrupt of any scriptural authority to support the Postponement Theory! It is an unproven hypothetical assumption.” (source)
“John Walvoord, in his book called (The Millennial Kingdom, page 227) admits this weakness as follows. ‘While the most literal interpretation of the first 69 weeks is thus afforded a literal fulfillment, nothing can be found in history that affords a literal fulfillment of the last 7 or the Seventieth Week. It has been taken by many that this indicates a postponement of the fulfillment of the last seven years of the prophecy to the future preceding the Second Advent. If so, a parentheses of time involving the whole present age is indicated.” (source)
