Chapter and verse, please, Cynical...

Daniel chapter 9:24-27. The seventieth week of seven years is verse 27. There is a gap between 69 and 70 of Daniel of AT LEAST 37 years because we know Jerusalem was destroyed 37 years after Messiah was 'cut off'. We also know from Daniel 9:27 that the seventieth week begins with 'the many' (always refers to Israel) making a seven year contract with the man of sin. Since the contract is not entered into yet, we know the gap has last 2000 years, so far.

I find nothing which shows how much time between the rapture and the start of WK 70. BUT an interesting prophecy given to Rabbi Judah Ben Samuel in 1217 marks the history of control of Jerusalem in Jubilee segments of fifty year periods until 2017 when a 'treaty' will seal Jerusalem's fate is signed.

Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. 25 "Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. 27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

There are seven years of that prophecy left.
