However, I believe that the Battle of Armageddon will commence near the end of the "seven" written/implied in Daniel 9:24.

What makes you think that there are "seven" of anything left on the calendar?

The Theophilus,

Daniel 9:24 states:

“Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.”

I believe that the implied remaining “seven” of Daniel 9:24 is not the same “seven” as that of Daniel 9:27.

Specifically, I believe that the “seven” of Daniel 9:24 is a Sabbatical seven that started on June 7, 1967 when the Israelis captured Jerusalem. Note that Daniel 9:24 states “...and your holy city...” The clock on the Sabbatical seven runs 7 x 7 years x 360 days/year and terminates on September 23, 2015. The clock on the Sabbatical seven could not have started any earlier. The Israelis did not have Jerusalem until June 7, 1967.

It cannot be any other kind of “seven.” If it were any shorter, such as say, seven years, it would have finished long ago. It could not be any longer. If it were, then the prophecy that says “...this generation shall not pass away...” could not possibly be fulfilled. People usually die at an age of about 70.

Now, for the “seven” of Daniel 9:27. I believe the following:

The seven (7) years of the European Neighbourhood Policy Instrument (ENPI) are the seven (7) years of Daniel 9:27. The ENPI marks the timeframe within which the daily sacrifice will be stopped.

Going back to Daniel 9:24, the understanding that the implied “seven” in this verse is a Sabbatical seven gives us an understanding that life goes on until at least September 23, 2015.

By the way, September 23, 2015 is a Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Read Daniel 9:24 again and see how the significance of that date fits the prophecy.

Blessings.
