Futurism (Christianity) - 70th Week of Daniel

70th Week of Daniel

According to Futurism, the 70th week of Daniel will occur at some point in the future, culminating in seven years of Tribulation (or 3.5 years depending on denomination), and the appearance of the Antichrist.

Such a thesis is paradigmatic for Dispensational Premillennialism. In contradistinction, Historic Premillennialism may or may not posit Daniel's 70th week as future yet retain the thesis of the future fulfillment of many of the prophecies of Major and Minor Prophets, the teachings of Christ (e.g., Matthew 24) and the book of Revelation.

Famous quotes containing the words week and/or daniel:

    What, keep a week away? Seven days and nights,
    Eightscore-eight hours, and lovers’ absent hours
    More tedious than the dial eightscore times!
    O weary reckoning!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    This honour is a thing conceived
    And rests on others’ fame;
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
