Listen to the audio version of Part 1 at https://www.hiswordheals.com/loosing-the-seals-on-daniels-visions-pt1/ and watch video for Part 2 at https://www.hiswordheals.com/loosing-the-seals-on-daniels-visions-pt2/

Part 3 is a followup to parts 1 and 2 since ‘nothing happened yet’.  Plus some interesting things to note about the Septuagint version of Daniel 9:25-27. Is the dire straits SOME YEAR a possible time to watch for events surrounding the rebuilding of Jerusalem to begin especially since the dire straits always follow the 2nd counting of the Omer.  In today’s followup we just look at interesting possibilities but it is always a great time to be ‘watching’ for the fulfillment of biblical prophecies so that we are not ‘caught unawares’.

Did you know that there are EXACTLY 70 WEEKS from the 7th day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread following the second Passover this year 2025 to Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement 2026? Additionally if you count the 7 Sabbaths of the Omer following the Feast of First Fruits for the Second Passover this year and then you count an additional 62 Sabbaths (as in Daniel 9:25 says 7 weeks or 7 sevens i.e. 7 Sabbaths & 62 weeks, sevens or Sabbaths that’s 69 Sabbaths from the Feast of First Fruits for the second Passover this year) you come to Yom Teruah or Feast of Trumpets 2026 which is ON THE 69TH Sabbath after the Feast of First Fruits!

All throughout scripture prophecy most times has a long plan and then a short plan. The long plan is always first and the fulfillment may be in the distant future, and you don’t know the day or the hour that it will be fulfilled. Then the short plan is very often revealed, including the date of its coming fulfillment once you get really close to its time. So, there can be two timelines for one prophecy or set of prophecies, a long plan and a short plan, a far plan and a near plan.

Consider Noah who began building his boat 120 years before the flood came. He knew it was going to come, he just didn’t know when that was the long plan, but then the short plan was revealed to him seven days before the flood came. As the time of fulfillment neared, he was told exactly what day it would start to rain.

Same thing with the exodus from Egypt. The long plan was revealed to Abraham, Isaac, and then Jacob. As they got closer to going to Egypt, the plans became more distinct. Abraham saw it afar off, and Jacob actually went to Egypt. But still, it was a long plan… the rest of 400 years before they would know exactly when the exodus was coming. Then, when Moses came back from the desert, he revealed the short plan and they knew exactly when they were going to leave, the night of Passover. Same thing with Daniel 9, all of Daniel’s visions actually, but Daniel 9:24-27 is what we’re specifically dealing with in part 1 of this message regarding verse 24’s long plan of 3500 years and in part 2 verses 25’s and 27’s short plan of 70 actual weeks of days.
