JH> I can't recall the specifics of the actual claim that was made, but JH> the verse in question was Daniel 9:24. Oh, that crap. That is the same nonsense that Harold Camping used to predict the end of the world last fall. Anyway, here's the Hebrew along with a claim about how this period was magically fulfilled. How they assigned the starting date is beyond me. It's interesting to note that 19 out of the 20 uses of the hebrew 7620 were translated WEEK and NOT seven unknowns. Dani 9:24 (av) Seventy <7657> weeks <7620> are determined <2852> <8738> upon thy people <5971> and upon thy holy <6944> city <5892>, to finish <3607> <8763> the transgression <6588>, and to make an end <8552> <8687> <8675> <2856> <8800> of sins <2403>, and to make reconciliation <3722> <8763> for iniquity <5771>, and to bring in <935> <8687> everlasting <5769> righteousness <6664>, and to seal up <2856> <8800> the vision <2377> and prophecy <5030>, and to anoint <4886> <8800> the most <6944> Holy <6944>. Dani 9:24 TSK * Seventy weeks.
