The 70 weeks of Daniel are fulfilled. We know that the Messiah was to come after the 69th week ie. the beginning of the 70th week. He was cut off in the midst of the week and the 70 weeks were fulfilled 3 1/2 years after Calvary as Bro. Blume has stated.
On a side note, I find it interesting that Jesus was rejected by the Jews because they were expecting the Messiah to establish a physical kingdom and yet Jesus told them that His Kingdom was not of this world, that it came without observation and was within you. He told His disciples in
Matthew 16:
28Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
And here we are almost 2000 years later and many expect Jesus to come and establish a physical kingdom in physical Jerusalem in a physical temple when the New Testament teaches no such thing.
