Lay aside for a moment the traditions of man which have misled many. The question is---do you believe what is ACTUALLY WRITTEN or what the tradition of man might say?

Daniel was of course, precisely correct. 62 weeks of Messiah. 434 literal days... And then the 8 weeks or 56 days from His death on the cross to the fulfillment of Daniels 70 weeks.

The 70 weeks of Daniels prophecy of the first testament is shown totally fulfilled in the writings of the Second Testament.

Don't be concerned about whether Daniel's 70 weeks are weeks of years or weeks of days... because they are BOTH. And BOTH have been completed. To the very hour. NONE remain to yet be fulfilled.

Isa 61:1-2
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; (KJV)

Luke 4:17-21
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. (KJV)

Notice that Christ says "acceptable year", not acceptable 3 1/2 years.

The point is obvious that if man's idea of 3 1/2 years is correct there is error in the scriptures concerning both prophecy and Christs fulfillment of being the perfect sacrifice, which of course, these verses prove.

There is a lot of scripture background to examine. We will do so.
