Daniel 9, continued

The focus of Chapter 9 continues to be primarily focused on what happens to Israel. Continuing the list of things that will be accomplished by the end of the 70 weeks: *Make Atonement for iniquity --Note -- there are two ways that Satan - the Accuser affects us: provoking fear and guilt. Remember that Psalms says that God removes our sin "as for as the east is from the west" *Bring in everlasting righteousness *Seal both vision and prophet *To annoint a most holy place The assumption is that the "Seventy Weeks" is actually 490 years where each "week" is 7 years. The Dispensational view is that the first 69 weeks have been completed and that we are now living in the Time of the Gentiles. This current day represents, in effect, a "parenthesis" in this countdown and the final "week" will be the last 7 years of the Great Tribulation.
