Description

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.
