Daniel 9:27
It will confirm a pact with many for one ‘seven’. In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will end the sacrifice and offering. And he will raise up in the temple an abomination of desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.”
Revelation 13:5
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud and blasphemous words and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.
forty-two months = three and a half years
Does Revelation 13:5 allude to Daniel 9:27? Is this the middle of the great tribulation?
They are two different times. The “seven” of Daniel 9 is one week of time, or seven days, while the 42 months would be the equivalent of 180 weeks or 1260 days.
The prophetic formula of one day per year
After the number of days that you searched the earth, forty days, every day for a year, you will bear your iniquities, forty years, and you will know my breach of my promise. (Numbers 14:34, KJV)
And when you have fulfilled them, lie down again on your right side, and you will bear the sin of the house of Judah forty days; I have pointed out to you every day for a year. (Ezekiel 4:6, KJV)
Prophetic times are measured in days, each of which will represent a year. If a prophecy is given in months, each month will have 30 days and will represent 30 years. If a year is given, which would have 12 months of 30 days each, it would consist of a total of 360 days, which would represent 360 years. These figures are supported by the fact that the 1260 day prophecy is also given as 42 months and as three and a half years.
1260 days
And the woman fled into the desert, where she has a place prepared by God, so that there they feed her for one thousand two hundred and sixty days. (Revelation 12:6, KJV)
42 months
And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and she was given power to act forty-two months. (Revelation 13:5, KJV)
Three and a half times / years
And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness, to her place, where she feeds for a time, and times and half a time, on the face of the serpent. (Revelation 12:14, KJV)
Being two different times, they are two separate prophecies and have separate fulfillments.
Compliance with seven days / one week
The week that is divided in half, into two parts of 3.5 days each, represents two periods of time of 3.5 years that follow each other immediately (they are part of the same “week”), following the biblical prophetic time day per year. formula given in Ezekiel 4:6 and Numbers 14:34.
This week begins with the ministry of Jesus at his baptism, in the year 27 AD. C. He was “cut off” in the middle of the week, being crucified after three and a half years of ministry, on 30/31 AD. C. The second half of the week, ending in AD 34 with the stoning of Stephen, signifying the final rejection of the Jews as God’s chosen people, was a period of continuing grace for the Israelite nation, and fulfilled Jesus’ prophecy that they should be forgiven. for 490 years (70 times 7; see Matthew 18:22). Daniel’s entire prophecy, of which this last week was only a part, consisted of 70 weeks or 490 years.
Compliance with 42 months / 1260 years
This prophecy of Revelation addresses the beast with seven heads and ten horns (see Revelation 12:3; 13:1; 17:3-9) that would try to destroy the manchild (Jesus) of the pure woman (the church of God). God/people). At the time of Christ, the Roman government authorities attempted to destroy it. All the babies in Bethlehem were killed trying to eradicate Jesus. And it was the Romans who finally crucified him. The civil powers of Rome gave way, however, to a new religious power, still centered in Rome. That power persecuted the people of God, as the prophecy says, for 1260 years. This time period began with the transfer of power to this newly formed entity in AD 538. The 1,260 years ended in 1798 when Napoleon’s general, Louis-Alexandre Berthier, took his head of state captive (who later died in death). jail).
To fully understand the details of this prophecy requires careful study and close attention to the marks that identify this beast power in Revelation, a study that is beyond the scope of this answer.
conclusion
Daniel 9:27 and Revelation 13:5 refer to two separate prophecies and do not refer to the same time period, with the first addressing a single week, or the prophetic time of seven years, and the second addressing forty-two months, or 1260. days/years of prophetic time.
Essentially yes. Revelation is an overlay of Daniel.
However, its root is actually closer to the second beast. But you’re right. I will add that confirming the covenant is something that Satan does, with a small town (Daniel 11:23). I think he does it in the first half.
Revelation 13: 11-12 (rvr1960) 11 And I saw another beast coming up from the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Daniel 9:27 (kjv)
27 And he will confirm the covenant with many for a week; and in the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease, and by the propagation of abominations he will desolate it, until the consummation, and that determined will be poured out on the desolate.
Jesus made part of his prophecy about the end.
Matthew 24:15, therefore, when you see in the holy place the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel (he who reads, let him understand).
The spread of abominations would be better translated: the desolator arrives on the wings of desolation. The Satan entity, causing desolation.
Standing where you shouldn’t. It is the correct translation. The Greek for this word “that” is not fixed. It changes depending on the theme. The subject is Satan standing in Jerusalem telling the whole word that he is God and Christ (Matthew 24:24).
The basic meaning is:
That week is the week of the years, Daniels final 70th. That Christ for love of the elect (Matthew 24: 22-24) shortened from 7 years to 5 months (Revelation 9: 5).
Daniel 9:27 says that the daily sacrifices stopped in the middle of the week. Count the 5 months is essentially 2.5 months.
At that point, Satan appears in place of Christ as antichrist.
Revelation 13:13 And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 and deceives the inhabitants of the earth with the signs that he had power to do in the presence of the beast; telling the inhabitants of the land to make an image to the beast, that he had the sword wound and lived.
The fact that it looks like the Lamb says a lot. This will deceive the majority of the Christians of the world for this reason, the true worship of Christ ceases. It is written in Daniel as a daily oblation. He would have to update in his mind the accounting that The Sacrifice for one and all times now, is Christ.
Due to Satan’s miracles, ignorant Christians become the Harlot and worship her.
Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns of the beast that you have seen, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
This is called the apostasy, in (2 Thessalonians 2). Greek means Apostasy. Walk away from professed beliefs.
From the middle of the week before 3.5 years; now Satan has two and a half months left, at the end of which he becomes violent against the two witnesses, and three and a half days later they are resurrected in full view. So Christ returns at that time.
EWBullinger in The Companion Bible has some interesting notes. But I warn you to apply the correction to the time to which Christ shortened it. Revelation 9. Bullinger misses this.
Verse 27 he will confirm the covenant = make a firm covenant: i.e. the little horn will do this at the beginning of the last seven years. See note below about “one week”. It may even be the beginning of the 2,300 days of Daniel 8:14. Compare Daniel 11:21-24.
the pact = a pact.
many = the many.
one week . These are the last seven years that complete the “seventy” of Daniel 9:24; the moment the action begins in relation to Daniel’s “city” and “people” (ie, Jerusalem and Israel). These have been in abeyance since Daniel 9:26. Israel is “Lo-ammi” (= not my people, Hosea 1:9, Hosea 1:10). For the current interval between Daniel 9:26 and Daniel 9:27, see Luke 4:18-20; Luke 21:24. Application-50; also App-63. This fills the first half of the “week” (see Revelation 11:3-11).
the middle of the week = the middle of the week (ie, at the end of the first three and a half years).
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease = the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. This is the action of the “little horn” (see Daniel 8:11, Daniel 8:12, Daniel 8:13; Daniel 11:31; Daniel 12:11). This belongs to the time of the end, and will be accompanied by the establishment of the abomination mentioned below and by our Lord in Matthew 24:15. See App-89 and App-90.
for the extension of = in the wing, or battlements of; but Ginsburg suggests ‘al kanno (instead of ‘al kanaph) = instead: that is, instead of the daily sacrifice. Compare Daniel 11:7.
abominations will desolate it = the abomination that makes desolate. See App-90. This is certainly the future. See Matthew 24:15. Our Lord tells us where He will be “in the holy place”: that is, in the temple in Jerusalem: and we have the same admonition to “understand” (compare verses: Daniel 9:23, Daniel 9:25, above). Antiochus, the “little horn” type, desecrated the sanctuary, but did not destroy it. Therefore, he cannot be the fulfiller of this prophecy, even though he foreshadowed it.
abominations. Jehovah’s name for an “idol,” because it is what he detests. Hebrew. shakaz = to be abominable. The “of” in this respect is the Genitive (of the Origin), Rev-17 .: that is, that causes desolation. Compare 2 Kings 23:13. Isaiah 44:19 etc Daniel 12:11 is conclusive.
until the consummation = until a complete end. The reference is to Isaiah 10:22, Isaiah 10:23.
certain. See the note on “the wall,” Daniel 9:25 above.
will be poured on = will come poured on. For fulfillment, compare Revelation 16:1, Revelation 16:2, Revelation 16:3, Revelation 16:4, Revelation 16:8, Revelation 16:10, Revelation 16:12, Revelation 16:17.
desolate = the cause of desolation. See Daniel 12:11. Then the consummation of Daniel 9:24 will be fulfilled.
