EisMe,
At Daniel 9:24-25 (ESV) we read:
The Seventy Weeks
24 “Seventy weeks[a] are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, TO BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.[b] 25 Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again[c] with squares and moat, but in a troubled time.
As "Faithful & Discreet Slave," you stated you believe Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Daniel 9:24, 25. So, my beginning questions to you would be as follows:
First off, in discussing the "70 week" prophecy of Daniel 9:24, 25, we must establish a definite beginning of this particular prophetic period of time and a definite end to this important time period.
1) So my first question to you would be, when do you say this particular prophecy begins and also, when does it end?
Do you have a specific time-table for this prophecy?
This took time in order to analyze its meaning. Here is the result:

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.
