Presentation One - The 70 Years Prophecy of Daniel 9 begins the Composite Timeline Chart of End Time Events.
NOTE: the little black icons on the chart above indicate a separate article has been written pertaining to that particular element of the timeline chart. The links to these articles are included in the body of this article.
​
This is the first of five presentations that will explain the 5 pages of the end time’s timeline chart that has been developed. This first page details the start of the 70 Weeks Prophecy of Daniel 9. This prophecy is discussed first for a very good reason. It is the events within this prophecy that announces the beginning of the activities of the end times in our day and details events that happen before the tribulation.
​
The ability to understand prophetic scriptures of what transpires prior to mankind actually experiencing the tribulation has always remained vague and unclear. Cracking the code per say to finally make sense of these prophecies has been elusive. As world events take on a stronger end time sense, this lack of understanding is causing much anxiety among brethren. This anxiousness in turn is causing many to waver, so… we must recognize that weakness and make sure to stand still as Exodus 14:13 says and to stand firm as Ephesians 6:11, 13 says. These verses tell us we are to do more than just stand, what we must do is to not waver in our understanding of the word of Elohim. And this is done by understanding what is to transpire - for with understanding comes conviction and resolve to do what is asked of us.
​
And that brings us back to the end time prophecies. There hasn’t been anything put together that clearly and concisely explains the prophetic events in their order so that we can have the ability to stand firm and not waver. That is until now.
​
There is a lot of information packed into Daniel 9:24-27 as Gabriel provides Daniel with insight, but as we go through it, we will see the order of events and how this period is actually very clear and precise. This first presentation involves the Gregorian years of 1967 up to 2037 – a period of 70 years. At the beginning of the chapter, the scriptures tell us that Daniel had been studying Jeremiah’s prophecy of 70 years and knew that prophecy meant something more profound than just the 70 year exile of the Southern Kingdom. Daniel’s famous prayer of supplication in the first part of Daniel 9 prompts a swift response and Gabriel is sent to give Daniel an explanation.
Far more detail is available in the article entitled "70 Week's Prophecy of Daniel 9 - Overview Explanation"
​
Verse 24 states “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the wrongdoing, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.”
​
Here we are introduced to the time period of 70 weeks and it gives the six reasons for its decree from Elohim. Historically, we know these events happened when Persia allowed some of the Israelites of the former kingdom of Judah to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the city and the temple - which ended their exile that had started with their capture by the Babylonians. This means that the prophecy has been fulfilled and does not concern us in the end times, right? Gabriel mentions that this decree was also to seal up vision and prophecy, meaning that the full extent of this insight would not be completely understood until they are unsealed. When will that happen? That happens in the end times as Daniel 12: 9 says “And he (an angel) said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are concealed and sealed up until the end times.”
​
Daniel 10:14 confirms this too, “Now I (an angel) have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future.”
​
Therefore, we must be prudent and watchful for these events to unfold again in the end times. Are we in the end times now? Yes we are!! We know this because the first segment of the 70 Weeks prophecy has manifested.
​
Here is the evidence to prove this.
​
The Daniel 9 prophecy is in 3 segments of time that equal 70 weeks, beginning with a 7 week segment, then a 62 week segment and finally a one week segment. For the end time prophecies, these 70 weeks are actually referring to 70 years – as it was for Jeremiah.
​
Before we go any further, we need to quickly address why we can convert the term ‘weeks’ with the term ‘years’. In the Hebrew language, the word for weeks is ‘shavoah’ - so when Gabriel spoke with Daniel, he was using the word ‘shavuah’. This word is also the term used for the Appointed Time called Shavuot, which is also known as the Feast of Weeks. This festival is observed once each year to mark the end of the 50 day counting of the Omer – which is done by counting 7 weeks plus one day from the Wave Sheaf Offering at Passover. It is understood that Gabriel was referring to the annual Feast of Weeks as the measuring tool for counting the weeks he described to Daniel. Thus we are able to determine that the 70 weeks is interpreted as 70 years. This will be confirmed as we proceed through this presentation.
​
It is important to understand that this prophecy and its years are calculated from Shavuot to Shavuot and not from Yom Teruah to Yom Teruah - which is how the Tribulation prophecies are calculated. This is why Gabriel used the term ‘weeks’ when bringing explanation to Daniel so we can understand the calculation of the 70 weeks prophecy is different than the calculations for the Tribulation. And this gives us the ability to decode WHEN the 70 years takes place.
​
So, from this point onwards, I will be using the term years when referring to the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel 9.
​
Gabriel also did something else, he purposely segmented the 70 years so we can use this as a clue to connect to events in our day and age and thus confirm that this end time prophecy involving 70 years is manifesting. Since the 7 year segment is mentioned first, we need to look for events that encompass a seven year period that will help us know and understand if this prophecy is happening. So, there must be something significant that will happen to define each segment. What should we be looking for? Gabriel gives us a clue.

​
In 1967 when Egypt once again declared it would cut off Israel’s shipping rights, Israel caught their military off guard and swept through the region in a pre-emptive strike,
capturing and holding land from the Sinai Peninsula in the south, up the western coast of the Mediterranean to Lebanon in the north and east to the Jordan River.
The areas shaded in the various colours of green represent the amount of land that the Israeli army captured over the course of the six days.
​
​
​
​
​
This meant they had full control of The Land, of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. There are famous pictures of Israeli troops finally walking on the grounds of the Temple Mount – a feat that had not been allowed for nearly 2000 years.
​

​​
The war took place from June 5th – 10th in 1967. Shavuot that year – also known as the Feast of Weeks – was observed 7 days (or one week) later on June 17th at sundown to June 18th at sundown. It was on this very day that the 70 Week’s prophecy of Daniel 9 began. How do we know that? Well, it was a short time later that an announcement (decree) went out about rebuilding Jerusalem with a new large plaza and connecting streets and to upgrade the waterworks (moat) so that the Old City could have running water.
These are the three elements that are mentioned in verse 25 by Gabriel “so we are to know and understand” when the 70 weeks prophecy starts.
​
Daniel 9:25 “So you are to know and understand that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem, until Messiah the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with streets and moat, even in times of distress.”
That is a start, but we should look for further confirmation that this is the right time.
​
So, let’s check out the second clue. Since verse 25 states that there is a period of 7 weeks (or years) that begins the full 70 years prophecy that means we need to find out if an event occurred 7 years after 1967 and the Six Day War. We need to look for something that happened in the Shavuot year of 1973 to 1974. This will help us determine if this is a manifestation of the first segment of the prophecy. Well, something significant did happen. It was the Yom Kippur War of October 6, 1973. This war physically ended on October 25th, 1973 but the final peace treaty was signed between Israel and its Arab neighbours at the time of Shavuot, May 25/26, 1974. ​
​
This means that the Six Day War of 1967/1968 and the Yom Kippur War of 1973/1974 act as the confirmation that this prophecy has begun. These two wars mark the period that identifies the first segment of 7 years and act as bookends (of sorts). From that, we can say that the Yom Kippur War also acts as the bookend to start the next segment of 62 weeks. As you look at the purple boxes in Slide One these will give you a better idea of what I am meaning by bookends of each prophetic segment throughout the 70 years prophecy.
​
These two wars and the manifestation of the prophetic elements of a decree to rebuild Jerusalem with plaza and moat for the first segment of 7 years confirm that this prophecy is now active.
​
But just as important is that these clues of the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War have now given us Gregorian dates which can be used to determine potential dates for future prophecies.
​
As well, the Yom Kippur War marks the start of another count, this is a 50 year count to help us understand when the next war will begin - this time it is the Gog/Magog War of Ezekiel 38 and 39. More on this will be discussed later under Speculation #2.
​
What is going to happen in the second segment of the 62 years? This is the period we are living in right now. Just take this year and subtract 1967 to know which year into the prophetic count we are in. For example, if we are in the year 2023, we subtract 1967 which means we are 56 years into the overall 70 years prophecy and concurrently, 49 years into the 62 years prophecy segment.
​
There is a lot of numbers being expressed here but I hope the graph at the top of this article is helping with understanding this explanation.
​
This is the longest of the segments which Gabriel mentioned to Daniel. So, is there anything Biblically significant that will be happening in this time period? Yes there are actually a few events that happen during this time. There will be the judgment or destruction of Esau and his kingdom of Edom and Mt. Seir (Ezekiel 15:12-14 / Obadiah 1:1-19 / Jeremiah 49:7-22 / Malachi 1:3 / Ezekiel 35:1-15) that will quite conceivably happen just before or at the same time as another major event which is quite well known; the Gog/Magog invasion of Ezekiel 38 and 39. This time period also becomes the time for the set up of the King of the North to make war against the King of the South in the final one year. How do we know these events will be happening during the 62 year period of prophecy?
​
It starts by understanding the characteristics of these events. There are two Biblical accounts in the Torah that give us the clues to understanding when the judgment against Esau and the Gog/Magog invasion will probably happen. One is the account of Noah and the flood, which provides the specific month and day the flood starts and which we can translate towards the Gog/Magog invasion (which incidentally comes over Israel like a flood) and the accompanying judgments. The other is the account of Joseph with the 7 years of plenty and 7 more years of famine in Egypt which will give us the year for this war and judgment.

​​​
Before we get into these two clues, it will be prudent to explain why the judgment against Esau will take place at the same time as the Gog/Magog war. Ezekiel 35 is a chapter dedicated to Elohim’s declaration about Mt. Seir, the territorial home of Esau. It is the wording in verse 2 towards Mt. Seir that is strikingly similar to the wording of Ezekiel 38 against Gog and Magog.
Article: "Judgment of Esau During the Gog/Magog War"
​​
Ezekiel 35:1-3 says “Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it 3 and say to it, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, And I will stretch out My hand against you And make you a desolation and a waste.”
​
The words which I just read of Ezekiel 35 are exactly the same as the words which Elohim speaks against Gog and Magog. The only difference is the naming of the country and peoples whom Elohim declares to be against.
​
Ezekiel 38:1-4 “And the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 “Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him 3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.”
​
This is a significant clue that the judgment of Mt. Seir (which is Esau’s land) and the Gog/Magog war are connected and will most likely happen at the same time.
​
But having one piece of evidence is insufficient. Are there more Biblical clues? Yes! There are specific verses in Ezekiel 38 that list the nations who join with Gog and Magog. Two names are given that are from the south, these being Ethiopia and Libya.
​
In the days of Ezekiel, Ethiopia and Libya were not restrained to the borders we know today. Ethiopia, known as Cush in ancient times covered lands which today are known as Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia and the southern part of Egypt. Libya, known as Poot in ancient times represents a region of peoples of northern Africa – which during the time of Ezekiel could have theoretically included the area where modern countries such as Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and parts of Western Sahara, Morocco and western Egypt are now. So, due to their geography, these allied nations to Gog and Magog will not be coming from the north as will Gog and Magog with Gomer, Meshach and Tubal but instead will be coming into Israel from the south. This is where Mount Seir is located.
​
Further evidence about the timing of the judgment of Mt. Seir is found in Ezekiel 32 concerning the lament or mourning of Egypt. By association, the nations involved in the Gog/Magog war are also involved in Elohim’s declaration of the downfall of Egypt. Those named in Ezekiel 32 include Assyria, Elam (an eastern province in Babylon), Meshech, Tubal and their hordes, Edom (Esau), the chiefs of the north and the Sidonians.
It is from Ezekiel 32 that we make the connection of Edom or Esau aka Mount Seir with the nations who are associated with the Gog/Magog war. But there is another scripture that adds confirmation. Jeremiah 49 also documents Elohim’s declaration of judgment against a number of nations, those being Ammon, Edom, Damascus, Keslar, Hazor and Elam. These are peoples and nations that are located in the same areas as those named in Ezekiel 32 and in Ezekiel 38.
From these Biblical clues, we can make the determination that the judgment of Esau will quite probably happen at the same time as when the Gog/Magog war takes place.
​
With that understood, let’s figure out when these events happen with the two Biblical clues alluded to earlier.
​
In the account of Noah, there are specific dates given during the final week before the flood waters came upon the earth. Genesis 7:11-13 “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened. 12 The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. 13 On this very same day Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,”
Article: "Noah's Flood and the Gog/Magog War"
​
The second month on the seventeenth day of the month is the day the flood began. That would be Cheshvan of the Hebrew civil calendar. This calendar begins the counting of the months of the year from Yom Teruah on Tishri 1 to acknowledge the creation of the earth and mankind. Why not use the Hebrew Festival calendar instead? Well, the Hebrew Festival calendar begins the counting of months of the year on Nisan 1 as a marker for the festivals which the nation of Israel observes. During Noah’s time, the nation of Israel did not exist, so the Festival calendar was not the prominent calendar by which the people observed times and seasons.
​
Yeshua Himself explains how Cheshvan 17 is the day to watch for. He purposely referred to Noah and spoke in Matthew 24:37-39 “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.” In this part of His dialogue, Yeshua singles out “the DAY that Noah entered the ark”. We just read it in Genesis 7:11 as being the second month on the 17th day – Cheshvan.
​
Even though Yeshua also refers to the budding of the fig tree in Matthew 24, this is not a reference to this event happening in spring. He is teaching us to understand what to watch for and in this case to watch for the budding of prophecies which – as we see in this timeline chart, happen throughout the year and not just at the season of spring. When we watch and see, we then get to know when these events happen.
​
In Ezekiel 38, the description of how the invasion by Gog/Magog happens has a very flood-like tone and coupled with Yeshua’s clue, we can put two and two together. Thus we can say with sufficient certainty that the day the flood started was on Cheshvan 17 and will also be the day that the Gog/Magog judgment will start (see article "The Hooks Revealed in Real Time")
​
Ezekiel 38:9 it says about the flood-like attributes of the Gog/Magog war “And you (Gog/Magog) shall go up, coming like a storm (or flood), covering the land like a cloud, you and all your bands and many peoples with you.”
​
The Hebrew word for “storm” is Strongs 7722, “sho” and it means tempest or devastation
The Hebrew word for “cloud” is Strongs 6051, “anan” and it means, “as covering the sky”
The Hebrew word for “covering” is Strongs 3680, “kacah” and it means, “to plump, to fill up the hollows, to cover for clothing or secrecy.
Interestingly, the Hebrew root word for storm means “to rush over”, which is exactly what a flood does.
​
Now, once Elohim has destroyed Gog/Magog the account in Ezekiel 39:9 gives us the details about the aftermath of their destruction. The inhabitants of Israel will be utilizing the spoils of that war for a period of 7 years.
​
Ezekiel 39:9 “Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both bucklers and shields, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them.”
​
The clue in Ezekiel 39:9 is the reference to 7 years. Is there any other account that is about a 7 year period?
​
In the account of Joseph in Egypt, we are given time periods of years as well as descriptions of what would take place within those years. We will discover the year of the Gog/Magog war from the account of Joseph.
​
After divinely interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams, Joseph set about storing grain during a seven year period of plenty because he and Pharaoh knew that a severe seven year period of famine would come upon Egypt immediately afterwards.
​
When the Gog/Magog war and the judgment of Esau end, it will be a time of plenty for the inhabitants of Israel. It is only during a time of relative peace that the inhabitants of Israel can utilize the spoils of war. That is a clear indication of a time of plenty. The following verse of Ezekiel 39:10 clearly describes this time of plenty; “They will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoils of those who plundered them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord God.”
Along with that, it will also mean that the now expanded borders for Israel are secure without the threat of the neighbouring nations. Ezekiel 39:25-29 clearly describes this time of plenty resulting in the restoration of Israel in The Land. This will manifest in an Aliyah or immigration of people from all over the world to Israel and Elohim will pour out His Spirit upon the House of Israel at that time. The time of plenty will be a time of goodness in so many ways.
​
But having scriptural confirmation of a time of plenty is not enough. There should also be a confirmation of a time of famine too, since that is part of the account of Joseph. Does that happen in the end times? Yes, it does.
​
Amos 8:11 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God, “When I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, But rather for hearing the words of the Lord.”
​
Amos has recorded a very broad perspective of end time events, given to him by Elohim to remind the people about the outcome of their sinning way if they do not repent. He provides hope for those who do repent as is described in the latter part of Amos 9. It is in verse 15 that tells us plainly these scriptures pertain to the end times; “I will also plant them on their land, And they will not be uprooted again from their land Which I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.” Elohim states that they (the children of Israel) will not be uprooted again from their land which Elohim gave them. That can only happen when Yeshua has returned at the end times and is ruling His kingdom. Thus the words of Amos about this famine of the hearing of the words of Elohim will happen in the end times.
​
So we now know there will be a famine of hearing of the words of Elohim during the end times. Yet Amos does not give us any time frame of how long this famine will be. This is where the account of Joseph adds definition. Scriptures is very specific about how long the time of plenty and the time of famine in Egypt lasted – which was 7 years each. When scripture records timing periods (such as these 7 years), it is done to help understand other scriptures. In Elohim’s infinite wisdom these timing periods of 7 years each are given to help us connect the dots from other scriptures such as Amos 8, which then enables us to understand there will be another time of plenty and time of famine in the end times. Though, this one will be of the words of Elohim. ​
​
Okay, now by using the model of Joseph with the 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine, we have determined that the 7 years after the Gog/Magog war will be a time of plenty. This means that when this period of 7 years ends, will be the start of the Amos 8 period of famine of the hearing of the words of Elohim and that this will also be a 7 year period.
​
Do we have the ability to understand when this fourteen year period will take place within the 62 weeks segment of the Daniel 9 prophecy? Yes, we do. We just have to look for the date when the famine ends and then work backwards.
​
As we study into this, we will come to realize there are two possible dates that can determine when the Gog/Magog invasion will happen that leads to the 7 years of ‘plenty’ and 7 further years of ‘famine’. In this presentation they have been itemized as Speculation #1 and Speculation #2.
Just to be clear, it is only the details about the Gog/Magog invasion and the total of 14 years of plenty and famine plus a further six years (which will be addressed) that is involved in the speculations, the remainder of the timeline is not affected.
​​
Speculation #1
Time of Famine: 2034/2035 to 2040/2041
Time of Plenty: 2027/2028 to 2033/2034
Gog/Magog invasion: 2027/2028
How were these dates determined? It’s based on when Yeshua returns.
When Yeshua returns, He will do so bearing multiple titles. John chapter 1 gives us one of the many titles applied to Yeshua. Each title helps us to understand the duties and responsibilities that Yeshua has upon His shoulders. For clarity here is an example; a man is known as a son, brother, father, husband, grandfather, uncle, etc., etc. Each title expresses what that man is in the context of that title and helps those around that man to understand him better.
From John 1 we are informed that Yeshua is known as “The Word”. What are the duties applied to this title? Well, John 1:3-4 states “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” Then John 1:10 adds further details “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” These verses are connecting Yeshua to the One Who created the world and all that is in it, including humans. When we read the verses in Genesis 1, the way that everything was created was initially by thought and then by speaking it into existence. The verses in Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, 28 and 29 each explain to us that the method of creation involved speaking specific words. Thus, it would be natural that the name of the One Who did the actual creating to be known as “The Word”. John chapter 1 connects Yeshua as the One Who did the creating and thus one of His titles is “The Word”.
How does this connect to the activities that will take place during the 62 year period of the 70 Year prophecy of Daniel 9? Well, as mentioned above, there will be a 7 year period of ‘plenty’ when Israel is utilizing the spoils of war from Magog. And to carry on the principle of the events of Joseph who helped Egypt store up during their 7 years of plenty because there was also a 7 year period of famine, we must look for a period of ‘famine’ to happen.
​​
Amos 8 speaks to us about that famine, even though it does not give us any timing points we can apply the principle from the account of Joseph and understand it will be a period of 7 years. But what kind of famine will this end time one be? Amos 8:11 “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:” It will be the hearing of THE WORDS of Adonai that will be the famine. When we think about this, it means that speaking about Elohim or YHVH or anything to do with Them and Their plan and way of life will be restricted and suppressed. No longer will people get up before a congregation to speak about the scriptures. No longer will people present videos or audio teachings on social media. This will be the famine of the hearing of the words of Adonai.
But…Yeshua IS “The Word”. When He returns, He will also do so as “The Word” and we will once again hear Him. That means the famine of the hearing of the word ends at that time.
When does Yeshua return? His return will be on Tishri 1, 2040 (September 7/8, 2040). We know this based on the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel 9. We already have the Gregorian date when the 70 weeks began – which was June 17/18, 1967. Simply count forward 70 years in the Hebrew way of counting and we arrive at the year 2036/2037. This year is the final one week portion that finishes the 3 sections of the Daniel 9 prophecy. Having counted each year within the 70 years from Shavuot to Shavuot, this prophecy is completed on Shavuot, May 24/25, 2037. Since the prince (of the people) in Daniel 9 makes an agreement in the midst of this final one week we know that the tribulation begins in the midst of 2036/2037.
Thus, we can count forward for 3 ½ years from 2036/2037 and we arrive at 2040/2041, specifically on Tishri 1, September 7/8, 2040. Now that we are armed with Gregorian calendar years, we can begin to make determinations about the years of famine and the years of plenty.
​​
Since, Yeshua’s return in 2040 ends the famine of the hearing of the words of Adonai, we simply count backwards for 7 years. This brings us to 2034/2035 which is the year when the famine will start. If this is the year when the famine starts, then it is the year when the time of ‘plenty’ ends. From 2034/2035, we count backwards again a further 7 years and arrive at the year 2027/2028 when the time of ‘plenty’ begins.
As mentioned earlier, the time of ‘plenty’ comes about when Gog/Magog is destroyed and the judgment against Esau and his brethren will take place. This means we now know when that invasion and judgment will happen.

​
​How were these dates determined? It is based on the 70 weeks prophecy. We already have the Gregorian date when the 70 weeks began – which was June 17/18, 1967. Simply count forward 70 years in the Hebrew way of counting and we arrive at the year 2036/2037. This is the Shavuot to Shavuot year that the 70 weeks prophecy is completed and the tribulation begins. This is also the final one week portion that finishes the Daniel 9 prophecy. Since we are looking for evidence of the end of the famine, we are given that clue as the tribulation period begins. It is found in Revelation 12:14 “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.”
​
When the woman flees, is when the famine ends because she will be nourished. Who is this woman and when does she flee? This woman is identified as the people of Elohim living in The Land of Israel, specifically in the Judea portion of the land of Israel. They flee when they see the abomination of desolation set up in the Holy Place which happens when the sacrifices are stopped. That is done by the one known as the prince of the people of Daniel 9:27 who causes the sacrifices and offerings to cease in the midst of the final one week. As mentioned that final one week is in the Shavuot to Shavuot year of 2036/2037.
​
So, from 2036/2037 when the famine is ended, we can count backwards 7 years to know when the period of famine begins – which is 2029/2030. Interestingly, this is the year that the World Economic Forum and various other world level organizations have declared as the start of the Great Reset to inaugurate the Fourth Industrial Revolution which those of us who have eyes to see and ears to hear realize lays the foundation for the tribulation prophecies.
​
Since the year 2029/2030 is the start of the years of famine it also represents the end of the time of plenty. Therefore, we count backwards for 7 more years to arrive at the year that the time of plenty begins. That brings us to the year of 2023/2024. We now know when the Gog/Magog war and the judgment against Esau will take place.

​
Here is the chart that shows the dates of the time of plenty and the time of famine according to Speculation #2. The point of this chart is to explain where the 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine fit into the end times.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Now, we must go back and discuss some other very important events that will take place within the 7 years of plenty as well as events within the 7 years of famine that are part of the 62 years segment of the 70 years prophecy. There are events within these periods that are necessary to know for they tie into the transition to the tribulation.
​
During the 7 years of plenty, the inhabitants of Israel bury the dead for 7 months and also utilize the spoils of war for 7 years. The 7 months time frame is given as a second piece of evidence we need to look for that will confirm this war and its outcome are prophetic events that are manifesting…so we know with certainty.
​
Is there anything else that will happen during this time? Well, since Elohim destroyed Gog and Magog, it is clear that the inhabitants of Israel have control of The Land, which includes the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Four major events will most likely unfold;
​
-
many of spiritual Israel will make Aliyah back to Israel and
-
the altar will be set up, dedicated and made operational.
-
it would make sense that the construction of the Third Temple will begin, which fits perfectly within the 7 year timeline of plenty since the construction of the First Temple in Solomon’s time took 7 years. This means that the Third Temple will be completed in 2030, just in time for the start of the 7 years of famine.
-
There is one other major event which will definitely happen according to Ezekiel 39:29 which mention that Elohim pours out the Ruach haKodesh (the Holy Spirit) to the people.
It appears that these major events must be in place before the tribulation because of specific prophecies that are part of the start of the tribulation, such as the daily sacrifices being shut down by the one known by various titles in scripture as the little horn, the King of the North, the prince of the people, the beast. And the Temple must be constructed in order for the abomination to be set up in the Holy Place and for desolation to occur on the Temple Mount (which could mean that no one is allowed to worship there). If you are wondering about who stops the sacrifices and offerings, it is one person. Even though the prophetic scriptures give him many names, it is the same person. Each name is a clue to the rising of this individual into the position of becoming the beast/anti-messiah. The slide shows the progression of this individual to his destruction. Further detailed information can be found on the Elohim's Perspective website in the article “Understanding the Prophetic Beasts”.

​
During the 7 years of famine of the hearing of the word of Elohim, which is not necessarily a famine of food – we will quite probably see the rising up of the one we just mentioned as the little horn, King of the North, etc. in Europe. In Europe, with the power vacuum created by the defeat of Magog and their cohorts, a restructuring gets underway, creating a much more streamlined European Union governing body consisting of 10 kings founded on the principles of the Holy Roman Empire. In the King James Bible, Ezekiel 39:2 states that a sixth of Gog and Magog will be left, so this information could be useful in understanding who is instrumental in the restructuring of the EU.
​
This governing body is prophetically represented by the dreadful beast with 10 horns of Daniel 7. Its emergence onto the world scene will take place just prior to the elites Great Reset agenda of 2030. Then, on or about the year 2033 (which is 7 years before Yeshua returns) we clearly come to see the rising up of the little horn or king who grows to such stature that two year later in 2035, he uproots three of the EU kings and takes their allotted times of power. This gives him authority in the EU for 18 months because the EU structure has established that each leader of the member nations can rule for 6 months. Three times 6 months equals 18 months. During this time, the little horn transitions into the King of the North and becomes very powerful to the point he speaks blasphemous words, which many are saying could be words that make himself out to be the Messiah. Yet, Yeshua’s people will be wise and not be duped by these words and recognize him as a false messiah.
​
These dates for the 18 months of rulership have been determined by understanding the beast is given authority to rule for 42 months when the tribulation begins. As we go through this timeline chart we will learn the date when the tribulation begins. When we know that, it becomes easy to work backwards from the start of the tribulation to know when the initial 18 months of the beasts rule begins (since the start of the tribulation ends that 18 month rule). Furthermore, this understanding about the 18 months rule is supported by Revelation 13:5. There is a curious word mentioned in that scripture that states that power was given to him to CONTINUE for forty and two months. That means the beast was already ruling prior to when the authority to rule for 42 months was given. The difference is that the initial 18 months was just within the EU structure, whereas the dragon gives him power to rule the world for 42 months. All told, the beast will have power for 60 months.
​
During this famine the people of Elohim will be refined or as some would say – judged – since the house of Adonai must be righteous before the rest of the world can be judged. This period is 7 years long and most eschatology scholars and students may consider this time to be the 7 year version of the tribulation, when in fact it is a famine to refine Elohim’s people. The tribulation is specifically timed as 1290 days or roughly 3 ½ years and as we progress through this presentation, we will learn that the 3 ½ years of tribulation begins IN THE MIDST OF this 7 years of famine or refinement. That refinement is noted in Daniel 7:25 when the little horn, King of the North, etc. rises up. He will make life difficult for Elohim’s people to the point of wearing down the saints. Our refinement comes as we stand firm so we see the salvation of Adonai.
​​
There is one further parallel that must be mentioned here. We have just seen the prophetic application of the events of Joseph’s life with the 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine that happens after the Gog/Magog war detailed in Ezekiel 38 and 39. There is another Biblical account that also utilizes two sets of 7 years. That is the account of Jacob, who worked for Laban for 7 years to marry Rachel and then a further 7 years for his marriage to Leah. What happened after Jacob completed this 14 years period? He stayed on and built his own wealth for a further 6 years. During this time, he grew his herds with spotted sheep and goats. Elohim’s people are considered as spotted sheep.
​
Since this final 6 years is tied to the 14 years associated with plenty and famine, the dates involved with understanding the final 6 years will also employ two speculation dates.
When the end time period of famine (or refinement) is finished according to the dates in either Speculation #1 (2040/2041) or Speculation #2 (2036/2037), we simply count forward 6 years and we arrive at either Speculation #1 (2046/2047) or Speculation #2 (2042/2043). Does anything specific happen at either of these times? For Jacob it meant he left Laban and his unscrupulous lifestyle behind and returned to The Land promised to him and his descendants
​
Speculation #1:
End of 6 years after the 14 years: 2045/2046:
This year completes the 6 years from the time that Yeshua returned and ended the famine and then begins to build His flock as did Jacob after he had worked 14 years for his two wives. Jacob's life changed at that time since he was not longer under debt to Laban and he left Laban to return to his own father's land WITH his family. This year is significant in the end times because it is the first year after the 120th Yovel when YHVH (Yeshua) said He would only contend with mankind for that many years. Now, He is finished with contending (with ‘Laban’) and can actually rule righteously because the people are now His Family.
Speculation #2:
End of 6 years after the 14 years: 2042/2043:
This year completes the 6 years that began when the famine ended and the tribulation began. Just as mentioned in Speculation #1 above, the events at the time Yeshua returns includes this parallel to Jacob building his flocks for 6 years and becoming very wealthy. This wealth gave him a power base in which to finally remove himself and his family from the clutches of Laban and return to the land of his fathers.
For Yeshua, the end of the 6 years is represented by the completion of the prophecy of Daniel 8 pertaining to the 2300 evenings and mornings. This prophecy began when the tribulation began and after 2300 days (one evening and one morning equals one day), something significant happens. According to Daniel 8:14 the following will happen; “He said to me, “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored.”. This may be when the Millennial Temple (Holy Place) construction begins since the dust of the events of the tribulation have been over for about 3 years at that point (Yeshua had returned in the midst of this 6 years). Just as Jacob came home to the land of his father’s, Yeshua does as well and He establishes Himself in The Land with the Temple and His Family.
​
There is also a very important event that quite probably takes place just before the 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine in the end times. Again, we look to the account of Joseph and note that he was 'crowned' as second in command of all of Egypt - including Pharaoh's household. The only thing that would not be his to claim was the throne itself. In all rights, Joseph was a king. Could the account of Joseph be a clue that Yeshua is crowned as King just before the upcoming 7 years of plenty that will take place in either the dates of Speculation #1 (2027/2028) or Speculation #2 (2023/2024)?

​
When Gog/Magog and their cohorts are defeated by Elohim, it will probably bring about a vacuum of political and national leadership in the land from whence they came. So, while there will be much happening in Israel with the daily sacrifices, the Temple construction and the utilizing of the spoils of war; to the north of Israel, where Gog/Magog came from, there will be much happening to restore their system. That region will incorporate some of its previous functions of governance but be much more streamlined with a reduced governing body comprised of 10 kings. It is not until the initiation of the Great Reset and the inauguration of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in 2029/2030 that the stage is set for the establishment of this 10 king entity. These 10 kings are identified as the 10 horns on the dreadful beast of the Daniel 7 prophecy. Then, within these 10 kings or horns will rise up the little horn or king who speaks ‘great things’ and considers changing times and laws and (as mentioned) wears down the saints. This horn is hasatan’s protégé who will eventually transition into the King of the North.
​
Ironically, the defeat of Gog and Magog and their cohorts by Elohim brings about something else that hasatan attempts to use to his advantage. As Ezekiel 39:7 states, the people of Israel will make Elohim’s name holy while the ‘heathen’ will come to know Elohim’s name. In other words, the world is going to finally know about Elohim in a way they have not known before. This is when hasatan will get his protégé, the little horn to step in and deceive the world by making himself appear as the persona of Elohim. That is the purpose of the little horn speaking ‘great things’ to deceive the world into thinking he is the YHVH who defeated Gog and Magog. Only those who know the prophecies will understand the deception he creates, but the world will not know and thus they will be easily swayed by his words and begin to follow him instead. Then, with the world following the little horn whom they unwittingly believe is the one true Elohim, he garners so much power that he is able to transition into becoming the King of the North and then the prince of the people and ultimately the one we come to know as the Beast.
​

​
As a quick additional note; the 10 horns or kings of Daniel 7 are also identified as the Daniel 2 feet and toes of iron and clay. There is no time to get into the deeper information about the connection of the prophecies of Daniel 2, Daniel 7, Revelation 13 and Revelation 17 in this presentation but the article I mentioned called “Understanding the Prophetic Beasts” makes the connection plain.
​
Based on other verses within Daniel (such as Daniel 8:5 and 9) we know that this dreadful beast and its horns come from the west and moves southward and eastward to Jerusalem. This clearly identifies Europe as the domain of the 10 horns or kings of which the little horn or king rises within. What is the governing structure in Europe right now? It is the European Union or EU for short which has a governing body made up of the leaders of each of the 27 European nation members. To maintain a level playing field of equal power in this Union, the leaders of each country rotate into the prestigious and powerful position of EU leader once every six months. As mentioned above, after the destruction of Gog/Magog (which we now know is Europe) the EU will restructure itself into a streamlined governing body of 10 kings who slowly regain a form of dominance on the world scene during Israel’s 7 years of plenty and eventually come to the forefront in 2030 with the Great Reset. It will be shortly thereafter that the little horn or king appears within the 10 kings. But it will take until 2035 when he has developed himself politically, financially and socially enough that he will act. He becomes impatient with these kings (probably because they can’t get anything done - which makes sense since they are a mixture of iron and clay and don’t bond well with each other). The little horn or king uproots three of these kings taking their allotment of rulership time of 6 months each. This means he has the authority and power to rule for 18 months – though it is not a complete rulership since he still must share with the remaining 7 horns or kings but he has the dominant voice, and thus he speaks great things.
​
It is during this 18 months period that the little horn or king develops his position on the world stage with his great words. This is far easier for him to do since the world comes to believe him to be the Elohim who defeated Gog and Magog a few years earlier.
​
Near the end of his 18 month tenure, another king, this one identified in scripture as the King of the South will be agitated or feel threatened enough to come against the little horn. This is when the little horn or king now manifests scripturally as the King of the North. He has to in order to be the leader to go against the King of the South. Since the King of the North makes himself out to be a messiah, could the King of the South make himself out to be another messiah or more appropriately called, the mahdi? To mark the end of the 62 year segment and the beginning of the one year segment of the 70 year prophecy, these two kings do battle in or near Israel in the same manner as has been described historically in Daniel 11 and even in non-Biblical accounts. It is commonly called the King of the North/King of the South War. Eventually the King of the North wins this war.
The big result from the victory in this war means that the leadership of King of the North is firmly established since he has eliminated any opposition. From this point forward, he establishes the One World Order. To highlight this, he makes a covenant with MANY (not just Israel) for one year (which is a requirement within the 70 year prophecy). At this point the King of the North takes on the persona of the 'prince of the people' (Daniel 9:26), which suggests he is very popular with the population of the world for they are willing to do his bidding as the 'people of the prince'. What does a new One World Order need? It needs people to follow the leader and a new currency. These will be instigated within this final one week of the Daniel 9 in the form of the 'prince' coming to Jerusalem to stop the sacrifices and to set up the Mark of the Beast.
​
From his perspective, the 'prince' would look upon the worship of this God of Israel in Jerusalem as an act of treason to himself and thus it must be abolished. As Revelation 13:5 states "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven." He will stop the daily sacrifices and offerings, and will erect his likeness in the Holy Place (the Third Temple) so that the people no longer can focus on the God of Israel. Then he will implement the One World Order currency in which all people can buy and sell. Many will be duped by this because it is natural and actually a sovereign right for a country or empire to have its own currency. However, this new currency and/or identification process will be called the Mark of the Beast. Our Elohim specifically tells us NOT TO GET INVOLVED WITH THIS. It will be difficult but an interesting aspect of this involves the timing of the Mark of the Beast. It is slated to happen AFTER the Passover on March 29/30, 2037. Elohim's people will be either fleeing into the wilderness away from Judea or part of a greater exodus. However, this is all information that will be properly covered in the second presentation. Suffice it to say, the victory for the King of the North leads to world domination and a One World Order.
​
Summary:
​
So much detail has been given that a quick summary would be prudent. As mentioned at the start of this presentation, there are three sections of this timeline of end time events. The first segment is the focus of this presentation and involves the 70 Weeks prophecy of Daniel 9. We discussed how the term weeks can also refer to years so we can say this is the 70 YEARS prophecy. The Gregorian year 1967 begins the 70 years prophecy. This prophecy is meant to happen in the end of time as is mentioned twice in Daniel 12. We have come to understand that 1967 is the start of this 70 year period because of the satisfaction of the clues of the decree, the plaza and the moat which Gabriel identified as necessary to know this is the true manifestation of this prophecy. This came about due to the Six Day War which took place in June of that year. Gabriel gave further clues in the form of dividing the 70 years into segments of 7 years, 62 years and 1 year. So far we have been able to identify the 7 year period by the 1967 Six Day War followed 7 years later with the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The graphics clearly shows the two wars mark the beginning and the end of the 7 years. Since 1973 is now history, this means we are currently in the midst of the next segment of the 62 year period.
​
Within the 62 year period will be more prophetic events; such as the Gog/Magog Judgment; the judgment of Esau; the 7 years of plenty and the 7 years of famine; the rise of the little horn who transitions into becoming the King of the North and then into the prince of the people. The Yom Kippur War identifies the beginning of this 62 year period and we are given the clues (in scripture) about what war identifies the conclusion of this period of time.
​
As the 62 years concludes, there will be the King of the North verses King of the South war. How do we know that these events happen during this period? It all stems from knowing the start date of the 70 years prophecy. Since 1967 is the start of this prophecy, by counting forward for 70 years, we come to 2037. More specifically since the year is figured from Shavuot to Shavuot, it is 2036/2037. Within the midst of the final one week of the 70 years prophecy in the year 2036/2037, the prince of the people (the little horn / King of the North) stops the sacrifices and offerings. One of the aspects within the Daniel 11 prophecy that ties the King of the North to the Daniel 9 prophecy is that he stops the sacrifices (Daniel 11:31) as well. When the sacrifices are stopped, this signals the start of the tribulation.
Did the King of the North suddenly come into great power? Or did he arise through a process that took a number of years?
​
The details that help to identify the one known as the little horn, the prince of the people, the King of the North, the beast and the son of perdition begins after the Gog/Magog War. This timeline shows that this person rises to power during the vacuum left by the destruction of Gog/Magog and their cohorts. When does this happen? Yeshua returns in 2040/2041, which ends the 7 years of famine of the hearing of the word of Adonai, since Yeshua is “The Word”. Count back 7 years to 2034/2035 to know the start of the famine as well as the end of the 7 years of plenty. Then we count back a further 7 years from 2034/2035 to know the start of the time of plenty which occurs on 2027/2028. It is at this time that the Gog/Magog invasion of Israel occurs with their cohorts who are swiftly destroyed by YHVH. Ezekiel 39:9 tells us there will be 7 years of utilizing the spoils from Magog and not have to use any of their own resources, which can be translated to mean 7 years of plenty. The destruction of Magog causes the vacuum and the opportunity for the one known initially as the little horn to begin to rise.
At the same time within the same region that once was Magog, there will be a 10 king (horn) group who have a very loose alliance with each other but another king (little horn) will step in to solidify this group into a effective governing body. He will depose three of the kings and thus have the strongest powerbase. With this kind of power, he speaks boastful words. By the time the Great Reset occurs in 2030/2031, he will be well established as the leader of this original 10 king group. By the year 2034/2035 the little horn has grown large and he takes on the mantle of King of the North. With his power magnifying greatly, he exerts himself as a messiah and will require all references to any other messiah (namely Yeshua) to be blocked. This is when the 7 years of famine begin. Over the course of the years of famine, he grows more boastful and domineering as he pretends to be the messiah. Midway through the years of famine, the King of the South (Muslim mahdi/messiah figure) pushes back against the boastful acts of messiah domination by the King of the North but fails. This completes the 62 year portion of the Daniel 9 prophecy and fits perfectly because this portion has also been bookended by two wars; the 1973 Yom Kippur War and now the King of the North/King of the South war that is won by the King of the North. Shortly after his victory he makes an agreement with the people for ‘one week (year)’. This is when the final one week of the Daniel 9 prophecy begins. It is in the midst of that one week, that he stops the sacrifices which begin the tribulation.
​
It is at the start of this one final week, (which begins at Shavuot in 2036), that we know the King of the North has eliminated all opposition to him and thus makes a covenant with many which establishes the One World Order in a Babylonian style. It is shortly thereafter that one of his ‘heads’ is mortally wounded but by the so-called testimony of the false prophet, this head is healed and resurrected. Revelation 13:3 indicates that the so-called mortally wounded head will be a false flag event because the verse states “as IF it had been slain”. This false flag event helps to solidify his powerbase to the point that the world marvels at his power and are duped into following him. This enables him to become the prince of the people. His heart (and mouth) is so full of blasphemies that he exalts himself into a god-like state. Thus he cannot accept another entity to be god in his empire. The God of Israel must go, so in this role of self exaltation (fueled by the people), he stops the sacrifices in the midst of this final week.
​
This final one year is the transition year between the Daniel 9 prophecy timeline and the tribulation prophecies timeline. They overlap for a period of 85 days between February28/March 1, 2037 (when the tribulation starts with the stopping of the sacrifices) to May 24/25, 2037 when the 70th Shavuot is observed. There are many other events that happen between these dates including the start of the counting of the numerical prophesies of 1260 days for those in Judea, 1260 days for the Greater Exodus, 1290 days, 1335 days and 2300 evenings and mornings. These will be presented with more detail in the next presentation.
