  • Daniel 9 Explained—The 70 Weeks & Jesus. It's History!
    May 3 2026

    In this in-depth Bible teaching on Daniel 9, we carefully walk through the prophecy of the seventy “sevens” and its fulfillment in redemptive history.

    What did Gabriel’s message to Daniel really mean? How do the 70 weeks connect to the coming of Jesus Christ, the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, and God’s covenant purposes?

    This lesson takes a historically grounded, Reformed approach—interpreting Scripture with Scripture—while emphasizing God’s sovereignty over time, prophecy, and salvation.

    You’ll learn how the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, the timeline of 69 weeks, and the arrival of the Anointed One point clearly to Christ. We also examine the meaning of the final week, the cutting off of the Messiah, and the end of the sacrificial system. This is a rich, verse-by-verse explanation designed to strengthen your confidence in God’s Word and deepen your understanding of biblical prophecy.

    Perfect for Christians seeking clarity on Daniel’s prophecy, eschatology, and the unity of Scripture.

  • Daniel 9: The 70 Weeks Prophecy—Why It Points to Jesus (Not the End Times)
    Apr 28 2026

    What are the 70 weeks in Daniel 9, and do they predict the end times—or Jesus Christ? In this study, we walk verse-by-verse through Daniel’s prayer and God’s answer to uncover what the prophecy actually means.
    This lesson examines Daniel 9:24–27, focusing on the famous “70 weeks” prophecy and its connection to Christ’s atoning work. Rather than reading the passage through speculative timelines or modern end-times systems, we interpret it through the lens of Scripture interpreting Scripture.

    You’ll learn:

    Why the 70 years becomes 70 × 7 (490 years)

    How Leviticus 26 shapes the prophecy

    What “intervening historical contingencies” reveal about God’s dealings with His people

    Why the Anointed One being “cut off” points to Jesus

    How this prophecy fits into redemptive history—not a future tribulation

    This teaching is especially helpful for those exploring:

    Reformed / covenant theology

    A critique of dispensational interpretations

    A Christ-centered reading of Old Testament prophecy

  • Daniel 9 Explained--Covenant, Exile, and the Gospel in Daniel’s Prayer
    Apr 19 2026

    In this in-depth Bible study on Daniel chapter 9, we examine Daniel’s prayer in its full covenantal and redemptive-historical context. Why was Israel still in exile after 70 years? What does Daniel’s appeal to God’s mercy reveal about covenant theology, repentance, and the righteousness of God?

    This lesson connects Daniel 9 to Jeremiah’s prophecy, the covenant curses of Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26, and ultimately to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We explore how Daniel confesses Israel’s sin, affirms God’s covenant faithfulness, and pleads not on the basis of human righteousness—but on God’s name and mercy.

    You’ll also see how this passage anticipates Christ, who bears the covenant curses for His people, and how the delay from 70 years to “seventy sevens” fits within God’s sovereign plan. This teaching is especially helpful for those interested in Reformed theology, Presbyterian doctrine, and covenantal interpretation of Scripture.

    If you want to understand biblical prophecy, exile theology, and how the Old Testament points to Christ, this study will give you a clear, Scripture-saturated framework.
