CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

INTRODUCTION
Daniel’s “Seventy Weeks” pertains to Daniel’s vision of what was going
to transpire in Israel for 490 years from their release out of Babylonian captivity
to the going forth of the commandment that will cause the Jews to return to
build back the holy city of Jerusalem.

Because of Israel’s apostasy, the prophet Jeremiah had foretold that the Jews
would be delivered as captives to Babylon. In that foreign land they would be confined for
seventy years (Jeremiah 25:12; 29:10). Sure enough, this prophet’s warnings proved
accurate. The general period of the Babylonian confinement was seventy years (Daniel
9:2; 2 Chronicles 36:21; Zechariah 1:12; 7:5).

THE PROPHECY
The content of that prophecy, as recorded in Daniel 9:24-27, is as follows:

24 - Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy
city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal
up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

25 - Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment
to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,
and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in
troublous times.

26 - And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not
for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and
the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war
desolations are determined.

27- And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of
the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading
of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined
shall be poured upon the desolate.

From a study of Jeremiah’s prophecy, Daniel had calculated that the


time of Israel’s captivity which is seventy years was about to end (Daniel 9:1-2).

that there is only 360 days in a year. The Bible said that they prophesied one thousand
two hundred and threescore days. Now, if we take the astronomy calendar, it would
sure miss it a long ways from being three and one-half years. The Roman calendar is also
inconsistent because it has 30, 31 and even 29 days in some of its months and therefore
can not be relied upon. If we take the Roman calendar that we have today, it would miss it
a long ways. But if you take the prophetic calendar, there’s exactly one thousand
two hundred and threescore days in thirty days to the month.

THE COMING OF THE PRINCE


The going forth of the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem, according to Brother
Branham, was on the 14th day of March which in the Hebrew it is called Nisan, which
means “March.” The issue was given on the 14th day of March, B.C. 445. Here is what he
taught us in His sermon the SEVENTY.WEEKS.OF.DANIEL 08-06-1961:

”Now, Jesus, the Messiah, rode into the city of Jerusalem, on the back
of a white mule on Palm Sunday, April the 2nd, A.D. 30. And now, from B.C. 445 to
A.D. 30 is exactly 475 years. But as we have already seen that the sixty-nine weeks
makes 483 years... Now, there’s where the trouble comes, right there. See? We’ve got only
with the marking of the Bible here, time, only 475 years, and actually it’s 483 years, a
difference of eight years… Now, the B.C. 475 to A.D. 30 are Julian or astronomy years,
which are 365 1/4 day in each. But when we reduce them days to our prophetic calendar...
Our prophetic calendar brings us to 360 days as we use now in the Scriptures.
We have exactly 483 (There it is.)—483. Here we have exactly proof of the prophecy,
exactly the truth. For from the time of the going forth to build the temple until the destroying...
Or when they rejected Christ and killed Him in A.D. 33—when Christ was killed is exactly
483 years. Now, from the going forth of the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem was
determined seven weeks, which meant forty-nine years, and forty-nine years hit it exactly.”
3. Finally, the “midst of the week” (3½ years) reflects the time of the
Lord’s preaching ministry. This segment of the prophecy concludes in A.D. 33 — the

REVELATION 19:11-16, “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse;
and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge
and make war. His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and
he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he [was] clothed with a
vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies [which
were] in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And
out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall
rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of
Almighty God. And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF
KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

“Here comes Satan with all four corners of the earth with his Protestants and
with his--his Catholics, and all together, marching right up to the battle of Armageddon. All
right. And here comes Jesus coming down from heaven with resurrected saints, vindicated
Word.” (FOURTH.SEAL.THE.title JEFF.IN 63-0321)

Other pertinent prophetic events in Scripture which take place during this time
in Israel are as follows:

DANIEL 12:1, “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which
standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never
was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.”

ZECHARIAH 12:11, “In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem,
as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.”

ZECHARIAH 14:1-3, “ Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall
be divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to
battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall
not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

“We've had several wars, wars, and rumors of wars, and V-days, and V-days,
and V-days, and... It'll finally wind up into the great battle of Armageddon. That'll be
the last of it. When she comes to the battle of Armageddon, that'll settle the whole thing. Just
before the great millennium, Armageddon is to clean off the earth. She repurifies
herself with this atomic blowing, and the volcanic ash, and thing sinks this soaked blood of
men upon the earth, and sin, and crime. She sinks beneath the earth. The volcanic breaks out
again, and renews, and cleans the earth for the great millennium. He cleans His church during
that time for a people to live here.” (VICTORY.DAY.title SIERRA.VISTA.AZ 63-0421)

ZECHARIAH 12:12, “And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of
the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and
their wives apart.”

ZECHARIAH 13:6, “And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in
thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in] the house of my
friends.”
“National force put Israel in her homeland. National force will put the
church in the World Council of Churches. But the power of God will put the people in the
Bride...The national forces of the council of churches will drive every organization into it,
but the power of God will raise the Bride into glory, out of it.” (RECOGNIZING.YOUR.DAY.title JEFF.IN
