So Jeremiah mentioned 70 years in what has been recorded as....Jeremiah 25:11. Many years later.....Daniel....while in the midst of that 70 years in Babylon....sees the correlation. Actually....the angel Gabriel reveals this to him. It is very straightforward....there will be 62 weeks plus 7 weeks from the time that a document is given or a proclamation made....until the Messiah will be....cut off....and then there will be one more week at some time in the future.....70 weeks total.
There are a couple of possibilities on when a document or proclamation was made....freeing the Jews....but whatever king said or did....concerning one of them....those 483 days which would come from 69 weeks...,are changed to 483 years....which is what should be done....and at 360 days in a year....which was the Jewish year....and the calculations made....the date would fall on Passover....32 AD. All the specifics aside....even the year of 32 AD....this is way too obvious for even the most doubting theologians to ignore.
The 9th chapter of Daniel is where you will find all of this. Verse 26 mentions that...."The end of it shall be with a flood." You have heard....we all use phrases like....'a flood of emotion' or a "flood of problems'....or something like that. It indicated that things will be moving fast and continuous.
Verse 27 then tells us...."Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week"....which we now know to be seven years....and then comes that which is about....the middle of the week.....but in this post I only want to focus on a covenant....or as some contemporary translations put it...a treaty or an agreement....even the phrase....a deal....would work.
In the past week....on how world economies deal with each other....and no matter what happens next....there will be....change! Change of some kind is coming. Will there be some kind of treaty signed....or a deal made....possibly for seven years? Maybe not....but this I believe is how we have to read God's Word on the end-times....with an open mind....and very patient.

"Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: his number is 666." Revelation 13:18 NKJV
Some things to meditate upon....soils and trees and plants and grasses. Those are sources of biogenetic carbon in computers and computing that is coming to the forefront in computer technology. The....beast from the earth....is described in Revelation 13....and part of that description is that it tells...."those who dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast....(the beast from the sea.) Biogenetic carbon....or carbon 12....is made up of 6 protons and 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
"And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer." Revelation 6:2
The white horse of Revelation six has a rider on it who had a bow....and a crown was given to him....and he went out...."conquering....and to conquer." This is the beginning of....the Tribulation. The next horse....the red one and its rider....is war....which seems to indicate that the...."conquering and to conquer"....may not be war....since war follows it? What then might...."conquering and to conquer"....mean? No one knows for sure....although there are a number of interpretations. Think about this on your own....someone....goes out....conquering....and to conquer?
And this....also on the white horse....the coronavirus. So what is a....corona? The Merriam-Webster definition for corona is...."something suggesting a crown." OK....that could be the 'crown'...but what about the 'bow'? As I wrote in a previous post...."The ancient Greek fighters would put poison on their arrows. They called this....toxikon pharmakon....the archery drug. The evolution of this whole thing has given us the word....toxic. Oxford's Word of the Year for 2018....before the pandemic....was....Toxic. According to the Oxford website....'the Latin word itself....(toxicus)....came from the Greek term....toxon....meaning....bow.' So....coronavirus revolves around the word....crown....and the word....bow....basically means poison."
Folks....the above are just examples of how our minds are to operate....searching the Word...staying vigilant....desiring to know and attempting to calculate....and keeping anything seemingly worthwhile....somewhere in our mind....to be able to return to if necessary! The opposite of this would something like...."Hey....since we don't know the day or the hour....do you think that Aaron Rodgers coming to the Steelers or not?
