My previous installment concluded the textual examination of Daniel
9:24-27. However, there are still other issues to deal with in relation to the
passage and the postponement of the seventieth week from the first sixty-nine.
These final articles will deal will a few concluding issues.
Critics of a Time Gap
Those who do not think that the seventy weeks of Daniel 9:24-27 have a
literal and chronologically precise fulfillment are opposed to the
postponement of the seventieth week as a yet future time of seven years.
Examples of such criticism can be found by those within the Reconstructionist
movement, holding to a form of preterist postmillennialism. Gary DeMar
complains:
Placing a gap between the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks of Daniel
9:24-27 "must be fixed" because of the system created by dispensationalists,
not because the Bible mentions anything about a gap. . . . dispensationalists
force the Bible to comply to an already developed system that insists that
these events cannot be describing first-century events.
Fellow preterist, Dr. Ken Gentry echoes DeMar
