Well, I would say, let's just go back to Daniel chapter 9, verses 24 through 27, read the passage

slowly, clearly, working through that passage with sixth grade level grammar.

We're going to see very clearly that the Messiah was crucified after the 69th week.

Ended.

Yep, the 69th week ended.

And he's crucified not for himself.

And then off in the distant future, we have the 70th week starting.

But in between the close of the 69th week and the start of the 70th week,

you have the crucifixion of the Messiah and the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Romans and the coming of the prince who is to come from the Roman people. So you've got these three things that are in between the close of the 69th week and the start of the 70th week. So these weeks do not touch together.

It's a future 70th week. And it doesn't, the passage doesn't tell us how much time is going to

evolve in that window or that parenthesis, but it does demand a window or parenthesis.

At least of 40 years. Yeah, at least. A minimum. This is what, to me,

it's really, it's mind-boggling that many people try to, in the covenant camp, or even the Jews,

if you see them today, because you can tell that they were arguing against the Christian

interpretation of that. They try to make either the 70th week already,

all the 70 weeks fulfilled,

but from a covenant perspective is this idea that,

well, of that 70th week, that final 70th week,

the 69 weeks ended, so now you have another seven years

and they want to see them contiguous.

There's no gap there.

So then they say, well, okay, Jesus started it.
