As they went away, [Yeshua] began to speak to the crowds concerning [Yochannan]: �What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings� houses. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, ��Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.� Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has arisen no one greater than [Yochannan the Immerser]. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of [Yochannan the Immerser] until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the Prophets and the [Torah] prophesied until [Yochannan], and if you are willing to accept it, he is [Eliyahu] who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

�Seventy [sevens] are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint [the Holy of Holies]. Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build [Yerushalayim] to the coming of [Mashiach Nagid], there shall be seven [sevens]. Then for sixty-two [sevens] it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. And after the sixty-two [sevens], [Mashiach] shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one [seven], and for half of the [seven] he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.�
- Daniel 9:24-27, ESV
�Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says [YHWH] of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner�s fire and like fullers� soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to [YHWH]. Then the offering of [Yehudah] and [Yerushalayim] will be pleasing to [YHWH] as in the days of old and as in former years. �Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says [YHWH] of hosts.
- Malachi 3:1-5, ESV
�For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says [YHWH] of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says [YHWH] of hosts. �Remember the [Torah] of my servant [Moshe], the statutes and rules that I commanded him at [Horev] for all [Yisrael]. �Behold, I will send you [Eliyahu] the prophet before the great and awesome day of [YHWH] comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.�
- Malachi 4, ESV

oh happy happy joy joy for Yeshua's final fulfillment of His word.
Sonofgrace, I was wondering if you were familiar with the view that Yeshua's ministry was a literal 70 weeks cut short by his death. that Yeshua is the one who confirmed the covenant of one week. Then by His sacrifice, did away with all other sacrifices? as presented by Michael Rood of course.
