Did the Old Testament reveal that there would be a 2,000-year gap between the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel?
No. According to the Old Testament prophetic program, nothing indicated that the final seven years of Daniel's 490-year prophecy would be split off and stretched out over almost 2,000 years before they were fulfilled. The text presents 483 years fulfilled, then the final seven, not a long, revealed gap.
Les explains that Daniel's prophecy was a 490-year period, beginning with Nehemiah's return to Jerusalem to rebuild the city walls. Of those years, 483 were fulfilled just before the crucifixion, probably on Palm Sunday. He notes that although there might have been a small interval between the death, burial, and resurrection and the ushering in of the final seven years, nothing in the Old Testament indicated that the interval would be split open and stretched out over almost 2,000 years before the final seven happened. When the 483 years were completed and Israel rejected the King and the Kingdom, God put His whole program on hold; His time clock stopped and has not run for the last 1,900 and some years. It resumes when the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel, after which seven literal years unfold and then Christ returns.
