Countdown to the Messiah is a resource for Biblical research related to the Messiah, Bible prophecy, chronology and other related topics. I ask for your patience as this site is under reconstruction. Revelation 19:10 states: "the testimony of Yashua {Jesus} is the spirit of Prophecy." That statement is nowhere better exemplified than in Daniel chapter 9 with the 70 "Weeks" vision. This prophecy connects the coming Messiah with a specific historical timetable. Below you will find a comprehensive and unique look at this subject.

Daniel's Seventy Weeks Countdown to the Messiah

Here are a few reasons why The Countdown to the Messiah is a truly unique and thought provoking look at Daniel 9 and the 70 "Weeks" vision.

1. You'll get a comprehensive understanding of the 2nd temple Chronology.
   
2. Learn how Daniel as a “magician” may well have been responsible for some of the very astronomical records we use today to date the 2nd temple era.
   
3. Why did Herodotus call Darius son of Hystaspes a “huckster” and why is this important to 2nd temple era chronology and Daniel’s 70 “weeks”? See how the Scripture seems to confirm the opinion of Herodotus.
   
4. Learn how Daniel’s 70 “weeks” vision was the catalyst that caused the Jewish chronologists to ignore most of the kingdom of Persia. What did Isaac Newton have to say about this missing Persian chronology?
   
5. What is a hendiadys and why is it important to untangling the chronological conundrum of the book of Ezra?
   
6. Who gave the “command to restore and build”, a Persian, a Median, a Jew or YHWH?
   
7. See one of the most comprehensive lists of the early 1st and 2nd century (BC/AD) messianic figures and learn what they all had in common.
   
8. Find out why “Artaxerxes” Longimanus could not be the “Artaxerxes” of Ezra.
   
9. Learn why Matthew 1, long considered a problem for Biblical scholars, is a “key” that unlocks the 70 “weeks” vision.
   
10. Did you know the Biblical, Feast of Tabernacles gives a Countdown to the Messiah?
    
11. Why are the numbers 13 and 14 Messiah factors?
    
12. Learn how Yashua’s (Jesus’) 70x7 statement points us back to Daniel 9 and the 70 “weeks”.
    
13. Follow the “covenant” from Adam, to Noah, then Abraham, Isaac, and David and see how it was “confirmed” with the “many” for one “week”.
    
14. See how the 70 “weeks” gives the year of the Messiah’s brith, the start of his ministry, the time of the end of sacrifices and the destruction of Jerusalem.
