Verse 24 : The Overview
Verse 25 : The 69 Weeks
Verse 26 : The Interval
Verse 27 : The 70th Week
We’ll
cover
these
during
Week 6
"Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your
people & your holy city:
* to finish transgression,
* to put an end to sin,
* to atone for wickedness,
* to bring in everlasting
righteousness,
* to seal up vision and prophecy
* to anoint the most holy.”
"Know and understand this:
From the issuing of the decree to restore
and rebuild Jerusalem
Until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes,
There will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two
‘sevens.’
It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench,
but in times of trouble.”
After All This:
The Seed of Woman
The Promised Nation
The Chosen People
The Tribe of Judah
The God Given Law
The Promised Land
The Royal Family Line
Kings & Kingdoms
(Israel & Gentile)
The Creator, King, Priest, Savior, Redeemer will now break the curse!
Breakdown of Verse 25
“From the issuing of the decree… until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes…”
Gabriel gave a starting point (from)
and a stopping point (until).
He also gave the time between these two events
there will be 7 ‘sevens,’ and 62 ‘sevens.’
7 + 62 = 69 (1 ‘seven’ short of the 70).
69 weeks of years (69 x 7 years) is 483 years;
7 years short of the 490.

Matthew 21:1-5
As they approached Jerusalem and came
to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,
Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them,
“Go to the village ahead of you, and at
once you will find a donkey tied there,
with her colt by her. Untie them and bring
them to me. If anyone says anything to
you, tell him that the Lord needs them,
and he will send them right away.” This
took place to fulfill what was spoken
through the prophet: “Say to the
Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your king comes to
you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a
colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
Luke 19:37-38
“When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of
Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud
voices for all the miracles they had seen: ‘Blessed is the king who comes in
the name of the Lord!’ ‘Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!’”
Luke 19:37-38
The people were singing and quoting Psalm 118

Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy
Written 700 years
before Jesus
The John 3:16
of the Old Testament
See, my servant will act wisely ; he will be raised and
lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who
were appalled at him -- his appearance was so disfigured
beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond
human likeness-so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their
mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they
will see, and what they have not heard, they will
understand.
Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy
Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been
revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry
ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his
appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a
man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him
not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered
him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the
punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are
healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own
way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was
led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he
was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut
off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was
stricken.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it
was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the
LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong
his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12:The Suffering Servant Prophecy
After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light [of life] and
be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will
justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will
divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his
life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For
he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors.
