If i gave you directions to a place and said it would take 70 miles to get there, wouldn't you believe that the 70th mile came directly after the 69th? Or would you believe that there would be a 2000 mile gap from 69 to the 70th?

Futurist believe that there is a 2000 yr. gap between the 69th and 70th week of the 70 week prophecy in Dan 9:20-27. By doing this they have substituted an antichrist in the future for Jesus in the past.

70 weeks were determined on the people and the Holy city. Using a day for a year we have a total of 70 weeks of years, or 490 years. No where in the scriptures does it say to take the final week out of the prophesy and place it at the end of the world. The week stays attached to the remaining 69 weeks, and that is how you get from the beginning of 457 B.C. (The decree of Artaxerxes went into effect in the autumn of B. C. 457. From this date, 483 years extend to the autumn of A. D. 27) to 34 A.D. and the Messiah cut of in the middle of the final week. Jesus started His ministry in A.D. 27 and was crucified 3.5 years later, then 3.5 more years later, at the end of the 70 weeks, Stephan was stoned to death, and the Gospel went to the Gentiles.
