A Prophetic Bible Study of Daniel 9:27 with the Two Witnesses of Revelation 11 Added into the Prophetic Equation

Daniel 9:27 with the Two Witnesses of Revelation Added

Daniel 9:27 is always read and studied without the interjection of the MIGHTY Two Witnesses of Revelation; who will wield all power and Divine authority in the first half of the seven year tribulation; after the Rapture of the Church (the Called out Assembly of the Risen Lamb); leaving these Two out of this biblical equation is total folly and will produce a limited understanding of that time; Be objective, biblical, Jewish minded and Dispensational as you read the study below;

The Kingdom of Heaven is truly at hand!

DJP I.F.

Daniel 9:27/ Revelation 11

27 And he (the Prince) shall (will) confirm (mightily strengthen - gabor) the covenant (the pending pledge, agreement between two sides or parties (the Prince to come; the 7th and the Many), treaty of common interest between two; starting the 7 year tribulation period and the 70th week of Daniel) with many (an “abundance” of peoples from all nations (UN?) against Israel for a godless confederacy to destroy) for one week (one week of seven years): and at this same time the Two Witnesses of Revelation will begin their POWERFUL global Divine 1260 day ministry in RIGHTEOUSNESS and set up the Levitical sacrificial system and altar sacrifices which will point back to Yeshua’s RIGHTEOUS Person and Work (the Lamb) and His completed redemption in RIGHTEOUSNESS  - Rev. 11)

and (after the Two Witnesses of Revelation’s DIVINE 1260 day global ministry - Rev. 11:3-7) in the midst of the week, he (the Prince; whose deadly wound was healed; will now be known as, and identified as, the wild beast; who now will be possessed by the Beast of the bottomless pit ) shall (execute the Two Witnesses and Lampstands/Olive Trees of Almighty God and then he will) cause the sacrifice (the act of sacrifice) and the oblation (the offering itself pointing to the Finish Work of Yeshua re-establish by the Two Witnesses), to cease (and in the ceasing of the ways pointing to ETERNAL LIFE through the Lamb Yeshua; shall he now institute his global 666 program, all for the purpose of ETERNAL desolation, damnation and defiance of all of earth’s remaining inhabitants) and for (the sole single purpose of ETERNALLY blacking out all Divine LIGHT of ETERNAL salvation in Yeshua and) the overspreading of abominations (wings of covering and protection of all that is ETERNALLY godless, lawless and ALL of its ETERNAL destructive fruits which leads to ETERNAL DEATH) he (the prince who’s deadly wound was healed and then possessed by the Beast from the bottomless pit) shall (will) make it (the altar) desolate (waste for just 42 months), even until the consummation, (to the end and completion of his very very brief 42 month demonic vain reign of the beast) and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (that what is to be, will be of all those of this period who rebelled, rejected, were unrepented and receive the Mark of the Beast and aline with full knowledge his ETERNAL demonic godless rebellion and spiritual suicide).

In conclusion;

All of the Two Witnesses of Revelation’s prophetic warnings and Divine Word of this period will be totally fulfilled and confirmed by the return of Messiah Yeshua and the beast’s demise and ETERNAL perdition.

Why Satan's Future War on the Tribulation Altar?

 

Dear friends, as we look at our EXPONENTIALLY growing godless, lawless, and hopeless day, it isn't too hard for any to see that we are indeed at the threshold of the Rapture of the Body of Messiah and the HORRIFIC and EXPONENTIAL seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24, Rev. 6-19)! Beloved, before we start, be sure to check out the Bible links we have provided for you as you follow along in this study; for that indeed is our authority!

But rather, in the midst of it he WILL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and OBLATION to CEASE in light of the end of the 1260 ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7/Rev. 13:5). That's it my friends... Israel is not even mentioned as a treaty nation in this passage; only the SACRIFICE and OBLATION are to cease at the end of the Two Witnesses 1260-day ministry, which will be in Jerusalem!

As many of you know, I have a slightly different perspective on Daniel 9:26-27.

Daniel 9:26-27 is very brief and simple in its wording, and yet so many prophetic teachers add so much filler and fluff to make it fit their theological "treaty" preference, etc., and when they do, the Two Witnesses of Revelation get totally neglected and put on the back burner to the prince of Daniel 9:26-27. Nowhere does it say that the prince breaks a treaty but rather that in the midst of it he WILL CAUSE the SACRIFICE and OBLATION to CEASE in light of the end of the 1260-day ministry of Almighty God's Two Witnesses (Rev. 11:7/Rev. 13:5). That's it, my friends... Israel is not even mentioned as a treaty nation in this passage; only the SACRIFICE and OBLATION are to cease at the end of the Two Witnesses 1260-day ministry, which will be in Jerusalem (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15, Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 11:7-12; 13). It is with further revelation from the New Testament that we see what Satan and his Antichrist are seeking; worship and the desolation of Almighty God's altar and ministers which will be pointing the nations of the world at that this time to ETERNAL SALVATION found ONLY in Yeshua, His shed blood; and His finished work (Isa. 53; Dan. 9:26, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 John 4:10)!  This truth indeed my friends is a profound and a sound witness to the dispensational teaching of the Bible and to Almighty God's future plan for Israel! It is absolutely amazing to me, and yet no surprise, that the heart of Satan's war in the tribulation will be centered in the desolating of the altar of God, which points to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Lamb of Almighty God (i.e.; the Lord Jesus Christ) and His ETERNALLY finished work of ETERNAL salvation! Without an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PROPITIATION, there can be no ETERNAL redemption for Adam's fallen race and all of Israel's Divine promises. The Book of Revelation refers continually to Jesus as the Lamb and it states very clearly that Satan, the antichrist, and his 10 horns will make war with Him; who alone is the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Lamb of God, the ETERNAL Savior, and PROPITIATION of this fallen and demonic world (Isa. 53; John 1:29;1 John 4:10; Rev. 5; 6:16; 12:11; 17:14; 21:27; 22:3). Satan's head was crushed at the cross and with Jesus' resurrection and Satan's immense rage for the Lamb will be on full display during this horrific time (Gen. 3:15-16; Rev. 17:14; Rev. 20:10). Satan's greatest war again is on the FINISHED work and shed blood of Jesus which totally redeems sinful slaves FOREVER from his fallen and darken concentration camp here in time (Eph. 2:1--14).

Once the Two Witnesses of Revelation are removed and this obstacle is "ceased" and removed out of the way, these demoniacs can violently and globally seek their delusion 666 "utopia" as well as their ETERNAL desolation as they continue their vain war against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and His ETERNAL PROPITIATION and LAMB!

Once the Two Witnesses of Revelation are removed and this altar obstacle "ceased" and removed out of the way, the beast will then set himself up as "god" in the Holy of holies and begin his desolation process (Dan. 7: 24-6; 9:27, 12:1-13; Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14; 2 Thess. 2:3-12; Rev. 11:7; 13); then will these remaining human demoniacs under the beast violently and globally pursue their delusion 666 "utopia"; as well as their ETERNAL desolation as they continue their vain war against their ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and His ETERNAL PROPITIATION and LAMB (Psalm 2; 110; Rom. 1:18-32; Rev. 13; 17:16-18; 19:19).  The followers of Satan and his antichrist are now ready and willing to double down in the full light of Divine revelation and receive the antichrist's mark, which will make one ETERNALLY desolate (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 13; 14:9-11)!  When the Two Witnesses are executed at the end of their 1260-day ministry by the antichrist/beast, and the world shall GREATLY rejoice (Rev. 11:7-12)! However, 3 1/2 days later, these two shall rise before all the world, verifying and guaranteeing to all that every word which proceeded out of their mouth will be fulfilled! In light of this, the world will, with full knowledge, receive the beast's mark as the ultimate act of ETERNAL defiance unto their ETERNAL DESOLATION (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:7-12; 13; 14:9-11)!

 It is with further revelation from the New Testament that we see what Satan and his Antichrist are seeking: the desolation of Almighty God's altar and ministers, which will be pointing the nations of the world at this time to ETERNAL SALVATION in Yeshua and His finished work!

When the Beast Finally Reigns!

The prince/the Anti-Christ is very powerless in the first half of the tribulation period because the Two Witnesses of Revelation ABSOLUTELY dominate, and because of the EXPONENTIALLY HORRIFIC global Seal and Trumpet judgments the world is facing at this time (Rev. 6-11). The Two Witnesses have EXPONENTIAL Divine POWER over the whole earth and against their enemies, and again, the prince and his anti-Israeli "many/global confederacies" are absolutely powerless against them (Rev. 11:3-6).  

However, it will be at the end of the Two Witnesses GLORIOUS ministry that the Anti-Christ will NOW absolutely dominate the rest of the tribulation period and the world; and what's left of it for 42 months until the Lamb's GLORIOUS return!

However, It will be at the end of the Two Witnesses GLORIOUS ministry that the Anti-Christ will NOW absolutely dominate the rest of the tribulation period and the world; and what's left of it for 42 months until the Lamb's GLORIOUS return (Gen. 3; Dan. 7:8; 8:23-25; 9:26-27; 11-13; 11:26-45; 24-25;12:1;7;11; Joel 1:15-16; Matt. 24:15; 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Mark 13:14; Rev. 11:7-12; 12:7-17; 13; 14:9-12; 16:12-16; 17:10-18; 18:1-3; 19:11-21; 19:19-20). This is the GREAT EXPONENTIAL and HORRIFIC time period called: the GREAT Tribulation, Jacob's Trouble and the Day of the Lord (Jer. 30:6-7; Dan. 12:1;7; Zeph. 1:14-15; Matt. 24:21-22; Thess. 5:1-3; Rev. 12:7-17; 13)!

After the Rapture of the Church, Almighty God will again begin to move in the nation of Israel, His chosen people, and will seek to call them to repentance via the Two Witnesses of Revelation, for Messiah's return is very nigh and His ETERNAL Kingdom at hand!

Messiah Cut Off!

The tribulation altar and the Holy of Holies will be Satan's primary target for destruction and desolation in the seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; 12:7;  Rev. 11:1-3). However, when we look at Daniel 9:26; we see that some 2000 years earlier that Messiah would be cut off (crucified, but not for Himself (Isa. 53, John 3:16-17; 1 John 4:10); and after that, the city and sanctuary were to be destroyed, which took place in 70 A.D. The ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS propitiation and finished work of the Messiah put out of business the Temple and Altar; for Messiah fulfilled it perfectly (Matt.26:28; Luke 22:20; Mark 14:24; Rom. 10:2-4; 1 Cor. 11:25; Hebrew 5-10). 

In the rejection of Messiah and His Kingdom offer, Almighty God stopped Israel's prophetic clock at 69 weeks or 483 years and then established His Divine mystery of the Church Age, made up of Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua!

In the rejection of Messiah and His Kingdom offer, Almighty God stopped Israel's prophetic clock at 69 weeks or 483 years and then established His Divine mystery of the Church Age made up of Jewish and Gentile believers in Yeshua (Dan. 9:24-27; Matt. 16:17-18; John 1:10-12; Acts 2; Rom. 7-8; Eph. 5:30-32, Col. 1:27). It will be after the Rapture of the Church, that Almighty God will again begin to move in the nation of Israel (His chosen people) via the Two Witnesses of Revelation, and will fulfill the 70th week of Daniel while seeking to call Israel and the entire world to Divine repentance (Rev. 11:3-7); for the risen Messiah's and ETERNAL King of Israel's return is very nigh and His Kingdom at hand! During this time, Almighty God will then go back to the Levitical sacrificial system to communicate and point to the finished work of the Messiah. This is why for the very reason that we see and read much information about the altar, the Temple, sacrifices, and oblations at this time (Isa. 53; Dan. 9:27;12:7;11; Joel 1:15-16; Zech. 2:10-14; Matt. 24:15; John 19:30; Rom. 10:2-4; Hebrews 5-10; 1 John 4:10; Rev. 11:1-3). The tribulation period is all about bringing Israel to repentance and being made ready to receive their Messiah and King at His coming (Matt. 6:10-13; 24; 25; Zech. 12:10-14; 14).

During this time, Almighty God will then go back to the Levitical sacrificial system to communicate and point to the finished work of the Messiah!

Why the Altar Attack?

My beloved; This is absolutely why the tribulation altar and the Holy of Holies will be Satan the Dragon's primary target for destruction and desolation in the seven-year tribulation period (Dan. 9:27; 12:7;  Rev. 11:1-3). 

The Tribulation altar will point back to the RIGHTEOUS Person and the finished work of redemption by the Messiah!

Firstly, the altar points to Messiah’s (The Lamb of God’s) finished work and propitiation which offers ETERNAL salvation to all by faith in Him; not ETERNAL desolation; and this is why He (Jesus Messiah) is known as the LAMB in the Book of Revelation (Lev. 17:11-14; Isa. 53; John 19:30; Rom. 10:2-4; 1 John 4:10)! Secondly; Satan was ETERNALLY crushed and ETERNALLY defeated on Almighty God's altar and cross (Gen. 3:15; Heb. 2:14-15; Rev. 1:17-18; 20:10)! 

Firstly, the altar points to Messiah’s (The Lamb of God’s) finished work and propitiation, which offers ETERNAL salvation to all by faith in Him; not ETERNAL desolation; and this is why He (Jesus Messiah) is known as the LAMB in the Book of Revelation!

Thirdly; Satan absolutely despises any work and promise of Almighty God and will with all his remaining rage and demonic being through his tangible host the antichrist with great fury seek to prevent Israel (and all nations) from coming to faith in Messiah; and will also seek to derail all of Almighty God's remaining promises for them in their ETERNAL Lamb and King (Dan. 9:24-27; 12:1-13; Zech. 13:8-9; 14:1-4; Rev. 12:7-17)! Lastly, Satan is on a total self-preservation mission and bent, knowing that his ETERNAL doom is very nigh and at hand (Rev. 12:7-17). All are expendable and all is on Satan's altar to preserve his demonic delusional dreams of ETERNAL rebellion against His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator (Isa 14:12-17; Ezek. 28:12-19; John 8:44; Rev. 12:12; 20:1-3; 20:10)! With the ETERNAL resurrection of Messiah, Satan was ETERNALLY defeated and nothing in all of ETERNITY can ever override and overturn that established ETERNAL ABSOLUTE and TRUTH (Isa. 45:23; Rom. 14:11; Phil. 2:5-11; Heb. 13:8)!

Beloved, in the end, King Jesus wins BIG, EVERY single time; and we who are in Christ Jesus should rejoice continually and always!

Beloved, at the end of Satan and man's vain little tiny rebellion, King Jesus ETERNALLY WINS, and we who are in Christ Jesus should rejoice continually and always in that ETERNAL GLORIOUS TRUTH (Phil. 4:4)! In closing, do you personally know the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior? O, my dear friend, it is ALL about Jesus and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; Be sure that you personally know Jesus as the Scriptures so simply and clearly teach.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Why Jesus Used “70 × 7” in Matthew 18 - The Deeper Daniel 9:24-27 Prophetic Meaning!

Beloved, this is absolutely mindblowing to me! The Lord Jesus perfectly understood Daniel 9:24-27 and used this prophetic text in Matthew 18:21-22 as an example of what full and complete forgiveness is in RIGHTEOUSNESS! I wonder if the Peter truly understood what text Jesus was referring to and its complete meaning, as Jesus taught Peter this Divine lesson on true and full forgiveness and its restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS! 

I wonder if the Peter truly understood what text Jesus was referring to as He taught Peter this Divine lesson on true and complete forgiveness and restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS! 

The Lord Jesus also testified as He carried His cross to the children of Israel of that day, and stated in Luke 19:41-43 that, "Only if they knew the time of their visitation" and what would happen in the near future as a result of their being ignorant of the wonderful prophetic truths found in Daniel 9:24-26. O beloved, how many believers in the risen Savior of today miss all the signs and wonders of our hour!  No wonder the Rapture Trumpet for the Body of Christ will come as a thief to many in these ever-growing EXPONENTIAL Last Days (1 Thess. 4:13-18; 5:1-4)!

Beloved, below is a brief outline of Jesus' message to Peter on full and complete forgiveness in RIGHTEOUSNESS and its complete and full reconciliation of both parties! Also, it is a deeper look into the beautiful love and reconciliation of Yahweh God with His people Israel in the near future (Zech. 12-14)! The very One teaching Peter on forgiveness and reconciliation in RIGHTEOUSNESS, will be the very One who will be the propitiation for Israel, but also the whole world (Isa. 53, 1 John 4:7-10)! O beloved! How absolutely beautiful is that! 

Divine Restoration and Forgiveness in RIGHTEOUSNESS - Daniel 9:24-27

1. “Seventy Times Seven” Comes Directly From Daniel’s Prophecy

When Jesus said:

“I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”
— Matthew 18:22

He used the exact language of Daniel 9:24:

“Seventy weeks (seventy sevens) are determined upon thy people…”

Daniel’s phrase “70 weeks” literally means:

70 × 7 = 490 years

In Hebrew:

• shabuim = “sevens”
  

• So 70 sevens = 490
  
  

Jesus’ wording directly echoes Daniel’s timeline.

---

2. Daniel’s 490-Year Prophetic Clock

Daniel 9:24–27 lays out six purposes God will accomplish within these “70 sevens”:

1. Finish the transgression
   

2. Make an end of sins
   

3. Make reconciliation for iniquity
   

4. Bring in everlasting righteousness
   

5. Seal up the vision and prophecy
   

6. Anoint the Most Holy
   

These are fulfilled in stages:

• First 69 weeks (483 years) → Messiah comes
  

• Gap (church age)
  

• Final 70th week (7 years) → tribulation, covenant, abomination of desolation, restoration
  

Thus, “70 × 7” is a complete, divine cycle of redemption.

---

3. Why Jesus Used “70 × 7” in Matthew 18

When Peter asked Jesus how often to forgive, Jesus responded:

“70 × 7” — the Daniel number — the number of God’s complete forgiveness.

This is not accidental.

Jesus was teaching:

As God is completing His 490-year plan to forgive Israel, so you must forgive fully and completely.

It’s a prophetic hint pointing back to Daniel’s countdown of forgiveness and reconciliation:

• Daniel 9:24 → “to make an end of sins”
  

• Matthew 18 → forgive without limit
  
  

Jesus was saying:

Forgive as God forgives: completely, fully, perfectly — “70 sevens.”

---

4. The Deeper Biblical Connection

A. 490 is the number of complete redemption cycles in Scripture

490 appears repeatedly:

• 70 × 7 = 490 years of Israel’s sabbath-rest violations → leading to Babylon (2 Chron. 36:21)
  

• 70 × 7 = Daniel’s prophetic timetable
  

• 70 × 7 = Jesus’ call for complete forgiveness
  
  

It always symbolizes:

Divine completion, forgiveness, restoration, Jubilee, and release.

---

B. Daniel’s 490 years are about God forgiving Israel

Daniel 9:24 emphasizes forgiveness:

• end of sins
  

• reconciliation
  

• everlasting righteousness
  

Jesus uses the same number to teach:

Forgive the way God forgives.

---

5. Summary: How “70 × 7” Connects to Daniel 9:24–27

1. Daniel’s prophecy = 70 sevens (70 × 7 = 490)
2. Jesus intentionally uses the same phrase in Matthew 18.
3. Both contexts deal with forgiveness, reconciliation, and completing God’s plan.
4. 490 becomes the biblical symbol for God’s full, complete, divine cycle of redemption.
5. The 70th week of Daniel (the last seven) is the final stage of God completing His promise to Israel.

Maranatha! The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
