This took time to analyze and put together a specific time-line. Here is the result:
The Final Week: A Prophetic
Fulfillment in Our Time
Introduction – How the Final Week Was Fulfilled
- Biblical
prophecy follows the day-year principle, meaning seven days represent
seven years.
- Daniel’s
70 weeks prophecy foretells Messiah’s arrival and the end of sacrifices,
culminating in Christ’s full reign.
- The final
prophetic week (seven years) has been fulfilled in our time, transitioning
from Babylon’s fall to the Kingdom’s establishment.
The 70 Weeks Prophecy & Babylon’s Fall
Babylon’s Role in Daniel’s Prophecy
"Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your
holy city." (Daniel 9:24)
- Babylon
conquered Jerusalem, leading to 70 years of captivity (Jeremiah 25:11).
- Cyrus
the Great later conquered Babylon, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy (Isaiah
45:1) and allowing Israel to return.
The Pattern of Judgment & Restoration
"To put an end to sin, to atone for iniquity, and to
bring in everlasting righteousness." (Daniel 9:24)
- Ancient
Babylon’s fall led to Israel’s restoration, just as the modern fall of
economic Babylon leads to Christ’s reign.
- Revelation
18 describes Babylon’s final destruction, mirroring the judgment cycle
seen in Daniel’s prophecy.
September 11, 2001 – The Birth of the Kingdom of God
"A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed
with the sun, with the moon under her feet." (Revelation 12:1)
- This
marks the beginning of divine authority as Christ’s Kingdom is born.
- The fall
of the Twin Towers symbolizes Babylon’s first judgment, mirroring Revelation
16:21 (hailstones falling).
- The economic
crash initiates the Gentile period, fulfilling prophecy.
The Gentile Period & The Two Witnesses
"They will trample on the holy city for 42
months." (Revelation 11:2)
- The world
enters a 3.5-year phase of Gentile rule, leading to the Two Witnesses’
testimony.
March 11, 2005 – Jesus Comes Into Power & The End of
Sacrifices
"She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will
rule all the nations with an iron scepter." (Revelation 12:5)
- After 3.5
years of nourishment, Christ comes into full authority, sitting at the
right hand of God.
- The
Two Witnesses complete their testimony, marking the end of sacrifices.
Jesus’ Nourishment Before Coming Into Full Power
"The woman fled into the wilderness to a place
prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days."
(Revelation 12:6)
- The 1,260
days of nourishment represent spiritual preparation before Christ’s reign.
- Jesus
being “snatched up” to God’s throne marks the moment of authority being
fully received.
Why Sacrifices End in the Kingdom of God
"He sat down at the right hand of God… For by one
offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified." (Hebrews
10:12-14)
- No
further sacrifices are needed because Christ’s sacrifice is eternal.
- Sin
and death are abolished, fulfilling Revelation 21:4: “He will wipe
every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, mourning, crying,
or pain.”
September 11, 2008 – The Seventh Trumpet & Covenant
Affirmation
"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of
our Lord and of His Christ." (Revelation 11:15) – “Then God’s temple in
heaven was opened, and within His temple was seen the ark of His covenant. And
there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and
a severe hailstorm.” (Revelation 11:19)
- This
moment signifies the affirmation of the covenant in heaven, aligning with Daniel’s
prophetic week completion.
- The economic
crisis & global instability reflect Babylon’s continued downfall (Revelation
18:17).
- The Great
Sichuan Earthquake (2008) could symbolize the earthquake in Revelation
11:13.
Babylon’s Systematic Collapse
"For in one hour such great wealth has been laid
waste!" (Revelation 18:17)
- The 2008
financial crisis, trade wars, and digital currency shifts signal the systematic
destruction of Babylon.
- The United
States unknowingly fulfills God’s judgment by triggering global economic
shifts (Revelation 17:17).
Final Reflection
- The
70 weeks prophecy finds fulfillment in our time, transitioning from Babylon’s
fall to Christ’s reign.
- The final
prophetic week (seven years) has unfolded, marking the full establishment
of the Kingdom.
- Sacrifices
have ended, Babylon continues to collapse, and Christ’s rule will be fully
realized.
