Most scholars place the crucifixion of Christ somewhere between 30-33 AD. It's been a hotly debated topic for centuries. I won't get into that in this post.
Sir Robert Anderson places the crucifixion (end of Daniel's 69th week - "cut off") at April 6, 32 AD.
If Anderson is right, a passage from Hosea certainly becomes interesting:
[Hos 6:2 LITV] After two days He will bring us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him.
Two days equaling 2000 years, and the third equaling 1000 years.
Daniel's 70th week is a period of seven years.
Yom Kippur is the day of Atonement.
Hamas just accepted Trump's peace plan (two years after the attack on October 7, 2023) on the Sabbath, one day following Yom Kippur 2025.
[Dan 9:27 LITV] And he shall confirm a covenant with the many for one week...
Now, I'm not dogmatically saying that this "agreement" from Hamas is the covenant of Daniel 9 but let's assume it is for now.
If Daniel's 70th week has just begun (2025) it will end in 2032... 2,000 years after the crucifixion/resurrection of Yeshua. It’s end, will signal the beginning of the 1,000 year reign of Yeshua.
Read Hosea 6:2 again now.
[Hos 6:2 LITV] After two days He will bring us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live before Him.
Anyway, on to the Seven Seals...
Below, I'm going to attempt to write something a little more concise than my blog entitled Rapture. That blog is super long as it contains a ton of my notes. I'll try to make this more concise and you can refer to the Rapture blog for more details.
The point of this blog is to show the precision and unity of Yeshua's words, with Paul's words, and John's recordings in the Revelation.
Keep in mind that the Revelation are the Words of Yeshua Himself (as recorded by John). Also, notice the order in which Yeshua replied to the Disciples in the Olivet Discourse. His Words to the Disciples match the order of the seven seals that He showed John.
[1] First Seal - Rider of the White Horse [Rev 6:1-2]
The first seal marks the beginning of all the seals, the beginning of Daniel's 70th week. The rider is Antichrist and the spirit of Antichrist. This is the false christ of all false christ's.
Olivet Discourse:
[Mat 24:4-5 LITV] And answering, Jesus said to them, See that not any leads you astray. [5] For many will come in My name, saying, I am the Christ. And they will cause many to be led astray.
[2] Second Seal - Rider of the Red Horse [Rev 6:3-4]
The red rider brings war and takes peace.
Olivet Discourse:
[Mat 24:6 LITV] But you are going to hear of wars and rumors of wars. See, do not be terrified. For all things must take place, but the end is not yet.
[3] Third Seal - Rider of the Black Horse [Rev 6:5-6]
The black rider brings pestilence and famine. Food shortages will become apparent as a result of war, pestilence, and famine.
NOTE: Think also about this digital ID that all over the news. They will control what you can buy, when you can buy, and the cost of those purchases. I believe this digital ID is just a precursor to what's coming. This digital ID bothers me. Is it possible that it could be the actual mark? Yes, Spiritually speaking. At this time, I still believe a literal, physical mark is coming.
Olivet Discourse:
[Mat 24:7 LITV] For nation will be raised against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes against many places.
Yeshua at this point tells us that all of this is the beginning of birth pains.
[Mat 24:8 LITV] But all these are a beginning of throes.
[4] Fourth Seal - Rider of the Pale Green Horse [Rev 6:7-8]
The pale rider's name is Death. Following him is Hades. This marks the beginning of Satan's wrath (not YHWH's wrath).
[Rev 6:8 LITV] And I saw, and behold, a pale green horse, and the name of the one sitting on it was Death; and Hades followed after him. And authority was given to them to kill over the fourth of the earth with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Olivet Discourse:
[Mat 24:9 LITV] Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
At this point, authority is given...
[Rev 13:7 LITV] And it was given to it "to war with the saints, and to overcome them." And authority was given to it over every tribe and tongue and nation. Dan. 7:21
This marks the middle of Daniel's 70th week.
[Dan 9:27 LITV] And he shall confirm a covenant with the many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. And on a corner of the altar will be abominations that desolate, even until the end. And that which was decreed shall pour out on the desolator.
At this point, there will no confusion as to who the Antichrist is.
Michael casts Satan (and his minions) from the presence of YHWH.
[Rev 12:9-10 LITV] And the great dragon was cast out, the old serpent being called devil, and, Satan; he deceiving the whole habitable world was cast out onto the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. [10] And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, Now has come the salvation and power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers is thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night.
Satan gives his power to the beast (Antichrist) and all hell breaks loose here on earth.
[Rev 13:2 LITV] And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and its feet as of a bear, and its mouth as a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave its power to it, and its throne, and great authority.
[Rev 13:8-9 LITV] And all those dwelling in the earth will worship it, those of whom the names had not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb having been slain from the foundation of the world. [9] If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Antichrist has desolated the Temple and the mark will be instituted. He will have great power and the ability to create great signs and wonders... so great, that many will be deceived into believing that he actually is God!
The midpoint of Daniel's 70th week:
Olivet Discourse:
[Mat 24:15 LITV] Then when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (the one reading, let him understand), Dan. 11:31; 12:11
The midpoint marks the change from "beginning of birth pains" to "great tribulation".
[Mat 24:21-22 LITV] For there will be great affliction, such as has not happened from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. [22] And except those days were shortened, not any flesh would be saved. But on account of the elect, those days will be shortened.
What do we see next?
[5] Fifth Seal - Martyrs [Rev 6:9-11]
Martyrs are seen under the altar crying "how long Lord until You avenge us?"
Olivet Discourse:
[Mat 24:9 LITV] Then they will deliver you up to affliction, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
We will be hunted down, betrayed and turned in to authorities, starved out (can't buy food without the mark), famines, pestilences, etc.
Notice the reply to the martyrs:
[Rev 6:9-11 LITV] And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those having been slain for the Word of God, and for the witness which they had. [10] And they cried with a great voice, saying, Until when, holy and true Master, do You not judge and take vengeance for our blood, from those dwelling on the earth? [11] And there was given to each one a white robe. And it was said to them that they should rest yet a little time, until might be fulfilled also the number of their fellow-slaves and their brothers, those being about to be killed, even as they.
There are, as of right now, martyrs under the altar crying "how long Lord?". Look at the holocaust of Christians right now (middle-east, Syria, Nigeria, etc.).
This condition (Rev 6:11) marks the condition and timing of the days being "cut short"...
Olivet Discourse:
[Mat 24:22 LITV] And except those days were shortened, not any flesh would be saved. But on account of the elect, those days will be shortened.
When YHWH's last appointed martyr has been killed...
[Luk 21:28b LITV] ... stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.
[6] Sixth Seal - Cosmic Chaos [Rev 6:12-17]
The sixth seal marks the Day of the Lord. His wrath on wickedness is about to begin! If you read this passage (Rev 6:12-17), there's no mistaking what is going to occur at this point.
What also occurs at the sixth seal? The marking of the 144,000.
[Rev 7:4 LITV] And I heard the number of those having been sealed: one hundred forty four thousands, having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:
What also occurs at the sixth seal?
[Mat 24:29-31 LITV] And immediately after the affliction of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. [30] And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens. And then all the tribes of the land will wail. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and much glory. Dan. 7:13 [31] And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to their ends.
The sixth seal marks the rapture:
[Rev 7:9 LITV] After these things I saw, and behold, a great crowd which no one was able to number them, out of every nation, even tribes and peoples and tongues, standing in front of the throne, and before the Lamb, having been clothed with white robes, and in their hands palm branches.
When this happens, those following the Antichrist will say:
[Rev 6:15 LITV] And the kings of the earth, and the great ones, and the rich ones, and the commanders, and the powerful ones, and every slave, and every freeman hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. [16] And "they said to the mountains" and to the rocks, "Fall on us," and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, Hos. 10:8 [17] because the great day of His wrath has come; and who is able to stand?
[7] Seventh Seal - God's Wrath [Rev 8:1-5]
The seventh seal marks the end of Satan's wrath on us, and the beginning of God's Wrath on the children of Satan.
I'll save the trumpet and bowl judgments for another post...
I also didn’t add Paul’s words yet. I will post a chart here later. Rest assured, Paul’s order is identical.
Whether Sir Robert Anderson was right or not... you can still expect the events above to unfold just exactly as Yeshua said. This may, or not be, the "covenant" we're looking for. There will be no doubt though when the daily offerings cease and the Temple is desolated. We'll know where we're on the timeline for sure when that happens. I'm only using Anderson's date as an example timeline. In my gut, I believe this may be the treaty "confirmed" and the beginning of Daniel’s 70th Week.
