Daniel's 70th week
the book of Mathew chapter one gives a chapter long Chronology from Abraham to Christ. It states that there is 14 generations from Abraham unto David, 14 generations from David to the carrying away to Babylon, and 14 generations from the carrying away to Babylon to Christ. a generation seems to consistantly be 40years in the Bible. (14 x generations) 14 x 40=560years. There is 560 years from the babylonian captivity until Christ.
Daniel said the number of years of the captivity would be 70years and then he said that their would be 70 weeks following the decree of Cyrus to the Messiah.
70years + 70 weeks
70 years +490years =560yrs
Mathew and Daniel matchup very well. I know that it gets confusing dealing with exact dates in scriptures because our calendars are not the same, but for a general view this seemed to be good.
I just don't understand how people subtract the 70th week and place it in the 21st century when it fits so well right were it is at.
