There are many teachings on the end times and many include seven years which comes from the book of Daniel, taking the last week of the 70 weeks prophecy given to Daniel from God through the angel Gabriel.
The 70-week prophecy given to Daniel has been used to create a doctrine of the rapture of the church, pre, mid, post, the last week, and much more. The reason for this post is I feel it is deceiving and causes people to be looking for something that will not happen, the days to come will be horrible, many of us if we are still living will face death.
This prophecy was on Judah and the city of Jerusalem, and six things were determined upon them that would be fulfilled during this time. ( Daniel 9:25) From the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah (Jesus) will be 69 weeks, rebuilding the temple is not in this prophecy. The first captives released with Zerubbabel started work on the temple first before Ezra and Nehemiah ever went to Jerusalem, the temple was rebuilt before the 70-weeks prophecy started, it was dedicated in 515BC, finished in 516 BC.
When did the clock start on the prophecy? ( Nehemiah 2:1-8), the twentieth year of Artaxerxes I, 445/444 BC. In this decree, Nehemiah tells the king he was sad because the city of his father's lieth in waste. So, Jerusalem has not been rebuilt at this time. The king gave him permission to go and rebuild the city, the walls, and the gates.
69x7=483 years 365-day years, Daniel used prophetical years; 30-day months, 360-day years so, to convert 365-day years to 360-day years, 483x360=173880 days divided by 365=476 years. So, if the going forth was in 445 BC, minus 476 brings us to 31 AD. Because there is not a 0 year subtract 1, that puts it at 30 AD. With the different historical records, it could be 29/31 AD. This is when Jesus came to John B and was baptized 69 weeks from the going forth from 445/444BC.
