Summary of the Prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 by David Nikao Wilcoxson

David Nikao Wilcoxson is the brother in Christ who opened my eyes to the true interpretation of the prophecy of Daniel 9 and the true meaning of the 70th Week of Daniel. This was in December of 2014, a fraction of the time since I came to know Jesus and the Gospel after coming from Roman Catholic darkness in early 1971. I used to teach the Jesuit / Darby / Scofield interpretation of Daniel 9:27. Imagine that. I’m trying now to help my friends see the truth about it. It was so plain to me when I read it from David’s website. I think unless the Holy Spirit enlightens a believer when he or she hears it, it will be like water off a duck’s back. You’ll either get it immediately, or you won’t. Many people just don’t get it due to their cognitive bias of hearing the false interpretation of the 70th Week of Daniel most of their lives as a Christian. Or maybe they will get it better from David Wilcoxson than from me which is why I’m posting it.

Here’s what David has to say:

I’m sharing this message with you because I appreciate your impact on my life. Iron sharpens iron, and I hope I can bless you in return. As I’ve witnessed the crazy things taking place in our world, it caused me to want to understand the prophecies in Revelation.

We’ve been taught that most of the Revelation prophecies are yet to be fulfilled during the last 7 or 3 ½ years, so I wanted to understand what prophecy the seven years is based upon. Most people point to the seventy weeks of Daniel 9:24-27 prophecy.

Many teach that the first 69 weeks of the 70-week prophecy have been fulfilled, but there’s a 2000-year time gap between the 69th and 70th week. My first impression is that it doesn’t make sense. Why would the Heavenly Father give a 70-week timeline which isn’t fulfilled in 70 consecutive weeks?

We’ve been taught that the ‘covenant’ in Daniel 9:27 points to the antichrist making a 7-year peace agreement with Israel. When I read Daniel 9 to understand the context, I saw that Daniel was not praying about the end times or the antichrist but that he wanted to know what would happen to the Jews when they would be released from captivity in Babylon.

And to me, it doesn’t make sense that the same four verses, which foretold when Messiah came to die for our sins, are also about His enemy, the antichrist, who appears 2000 years later.

I noticed that Daniel 9:4 mentions a covenant that the Heavenly Father keeps with those who love Him and seek to obey Him. The highlight of the prophecy is Messiah the Prince, so it makes sense that He came to confirm the everlasting covenant of mercy to those who love the Father.

And then the Spirit led me to verses that validate it. Romans 15:8 says He was sent to confirm the promises made unto Abraham. Galatians 3:17 points to Messiah confirming the covenant. Hebrews 7:22 tells us that Messiah is the surety of the covenant, that He is the bondsman who ratified it with His blood. Hebrews 8:6, 9:15-17, and 12:24 say He is the covenant’s Mediator. Hebrews 13:20 says that we’re saved through the blood of the everlasting covenant, shed by Messiah.

There’s a consistent narrative: Daniel 9:27 points to Messiah the Prince confirming the everlasting covenant, and the New Testament contains verses about Messiah and the covenant.

And this explanation fulfills the 70 weeks of Daniel 9 in 70 consecutive weeks. This was a game-changing revelation for me, as it shows that the enemy has created a grand deception about the fulfillment of prophecy. I know this explanation is contrary to what we’ve been led to believe, so I pray that you will pursue this matter, as we’ll be held accountable for what we teach about prophecy. I’ve included a summary about the fulfillment of the 70th week of Daniel 9. I pray that it opens your eyes.

The fulfillment of the Daniel 9 prophecy testifies to the glory of our King! Hallelujah!
