    To say that there is an "artificial gap" in the Holy Scriptures is sinful. God does nothing artificial.

    To say that you reject all prophecy means that you reject Scripture, because a huge amount of Scripture is prophecy.

    Judging by these statements, and your earlier answer of "No" (post 92) to Jon saying, "Well, do you evangelize/soul-win?" (post 91), you need to get on your knees and ask forgiveness for not obeying the Great Commission. You need revival in your life, and I say this kindly as a Christian rebuke, not criticism.

    I asked about 7 gifts mentioned in Romans 12, and the above addresses only one, and that with a narrow definition.

    Our church has a room set up in which visiting guest preachers/evangelists can stay. We call it our prophet's chamber - does that make us apostate?

    The 7 weeks are contiguous. Not scripture supporting a gap.

    Sigh, Christ could not have fulfilled the 70th week as it is a literal 7 year period. Please stay focused.

    “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.” (Romans 12:4–8)

    Paul wrote this when the Charismatic gifts were in full use. All listed remain except "prophet". No longer passed through the Apostles hands since their deaths. You can redefine the word and call anything you want by it. But the charismatic gifts ended with the Apostles.

    70 7s according to Gabriel. Christ fulfilled the 70 7s dying in the middle of the last 7.

    Bub that makes no sense unless you are using the allegorical method for the 70th week. Kind of weird. Do you even know what the nature of the 70th week is?

    Question: "What are the seventy weeks of Daniel?"

    Answer:
    The “seventy weeks” prophecy is one of the most significant and detailed Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. It is found in Daniel 9. The chapter begins with Daniel praying for Israel, acknowledging the nation’s sins against God and asking for God’s mercy. As Daniel prayed, the angel Gabriel appeared to him and gave him a vision of Israel’s future.

    The Divisions of the 70 Weeks

    In verse 24, Gabriel says, “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city.” Almost all commentators agree that the seventy “sevens” should be understood as seventy “weeks” of years, in other words, a period of 490 years. These verses provide a sort of “clock” that gives an idea of when the Messiah would come and some of the events that would accompany His appearance.

    What are the seventy weeks of Daniel?

    Dave, so now you are a Dispensational Premillennialist? He asked you if you knew what the nature of the 70th week was and you posted an answer from a Dispensational Premillennialist web page.

    So you understand the 70th week to be as the Dispensational Premillennialists teach?

    I'm sorry, I used their definition of the 70 weeks which I subscribe to. But believe the weeks are contiguous.

    I did however lift a quote from their page that explains how I understood the question.

    Here's my understanding of the 70th week.

    “He [Jesus] will confirm a [New] covenant with many for one week. But in the middle of that [70th] week he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt [offering himself as the atonement for sin]. On the wing of abominations will come one who destroys, [Titus and the Roman Legions] until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys [Rome's fall].”” (Daniel 9:27)

    Simply quoting scripture does not tell me if you know what the nature of the 70th week is.

    I gave my interpretation of it. And history confirms it is correct. BTW what do you think it is?

    Here's the Dispensationalist version of Daniel 9:27

    [After a gap of thousands of years between the 69th and 70th weeks] “He [Antichrist] will confirm a covenant [peace treaty] with many for one week [while seated in a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem with animal sacrifices restored, during a three and a half year great tribulation]. But in the middle of that week [7-year reign of Antichrist] he will bring [restored animal] sacrifices and offerings to a halt. On the wing of abominations will come one who destroys [Russia], until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys [Russia].”” (Daniel 9:27)

    Funny thing, but many Jewish interpreters take Daniel literally, and are preparing to build a modern temple.
