Page 2: THE 7 YEAR COVENANT

WELCOME TO PAGE 2 OF TKICBS

The topic on this page is the 7 year covenant of Daniel 9:27.

When one studies bible prophecy, and tries to understand how the events will unfold, one of the main events that is revealed is a 7 year covenant found in Daniel 9 verse 27.

As usual, if you have been here before please read it again because I have made changes again as of Sept 2023.

Now thousands of Christians understand that there will be a 7 year covenant just prior to the Lord's return. Most, however, that I have heard, believe that this is to be a 7 year peace treaty. However, no-where in the word does it spell out that this is to be a peace treaty. It is simply to be a covenant between many nations with the prince of the people who destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the temple. It might be a peace treaty, but it does not have to be a peace treaty.

The whole concept of a peace treaty stems from 1st Thessalonians 5:3 where it says, "when they cry peace and safety then sudden destruction will come upon them." 

Notice that does not say, "When they make a peace treaty then sudden destruction comes upon them" But someone believed God showed them that this verse revealed it would be a peace treaty and started the whole doctrine that has taken over the hearts of most believers. These cannot believe that the 7 year covenant is already made simply because there is no peace treaty and, with those who believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, because the rapture hasn't happened yet, so how could the covenant be signed already?


Let us read what the bible says:

Dan 9:26  And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolation are determined.

Dan 9:27  And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. 

If you do a word study in Strong's Concordance on the word covenant here 'peace treaty' does not even come up. 

Now notice that it does not say 7 years in these verses either. Well, it is easily proved that this week is actually a period of 7 years. Scripture tells us that every day is counted as a year in prophecy. You can also check out the story of Laban and his dishonesty in the book of Genesis and the use of the word week in that story. Jacob was told he had to serve 7 years for Rachel and it says when he finished his week he took her and left Laban. 

Besides this, the total number of weeks was seventy sevens. This would be 490 years so the original prophecy starting in verse 24 is for 490 years. Jesus was crucified exactly 483 years after the time the order went out to rebuild Jerusalem in the book of Nehemiah. Oh if only the Jews would look at this in Daniel. What awesome proof that Jesus is their Messiah.

Most scholars agree that the final 7 years of the 490 are yet to come and the span between the 483 years and the 490 was a church age during which time Jesus has been building his church, though Daniel doesn't say so. However, he hasn't returned yet so it is not hard to accept that teaching as sound today seeing as Jesus was cut off on the 483rd year exactly as written.

So let's see if we can understand who this prince of the covenant in Daniel 9 is.

It was Titus and the Roman soldiers who destroyed the city and the sanctuary in Jerusalem in 70 A.D., therefore the prince who must confirm the covenant will come out of the Roman Empire. Today there is no Roman Empire with Caesars but the Roman Catholic Church still exists today and it rules over all of the nations in the European Union (EU). The EU is the new face for the Roman Empire. I explain this on the page describing Babylon.

Now the 7 year covenant prophecy has never been fulfilled in 2000 years until 2007 to my knowledge. In 2007 the first of three seven year covenants was signed called the European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument, or EPNI.

  Though it is evident now that the 2007 EPNI agreement is not the covenant we are watching for, because Jesus hasn't returned, it was possible that when it was renewed and strengthened for the next 7 year term it could have been the one we are watching for. This would have started the clock on Jan 1st, 2014, if it was the covenant. However, Jesus didn't return in 2021 either. However, the EU High Representative in 2021 also confirmed the covenant for the next 7 years.

The reason the real covenant was never been made before this is 2 fold. For one thing God was preparing the 10 horns, nations, to rule in these last years. Secondly, during the past 2000 years GOD has also been building his Church. The proof that it is now time is that the events that are now unfolding around the globe and especially around Israel, all help fulfill many prophetic scriptures explained on several pages on this blog. 

For many years prior to 2007 the High Representative of the EU was slowly bringing many nations into a covenant relationship with the EU. An important EU official link to show the agreement can be found here:

Three 7 year covenants from Jan 1, 2007 to Dec 31, 2027

From the pages of Wikipedia I quote:

The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) is a foreign relations instrument of the European Union (EU) which seeks to tie those countries to the east and south of the EU into the EU. These countries, primarily developing countries, include many who seek one day to become either member states of the European Union itself, or generally more closely integrated with the economy of the European Union.

The EU offers financial assistance to countries within the European Neighbourhood, so long as they meet the strict conditions of government reform, economic reform and other issues surrounding positive transformation. This process is normally underpinned by an Action Plan, as agreed by both Brussels and the target country. The ENP does not cover countries which are in the current EU enlargement agenda, the European Free Trade Association or the western European micro states.


The EU typically includes Association Agreements in exchange for commitments to political, economic, trade, or human rights reform in a country. In exchange, the country may be offered tariff-free access to some or all EU markets (industrial goods, agricultural products, etc.), and financial or technical assistance.

The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (or Barcelona Process) is a wide framework of political, economic and social relations between member states of the EU and countries of the Southern Mediterranean. It was initiated on 27–28 November 1995 through a conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, held in Barcelona. Besides the 27 member states of the European Union, the remaining "Mediterranean Partners" are all other Mediterranean countries without Libya (which has had 'observer status' since 1999). Since the establishment of the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument in 2007 the Euro-Mediterranian Partnership Initiative will become fully a part of the wider Neighbourhood Policy. 

End quote.

The original agreement had a 7 year time table that was set up because the EU and operates on a 7 year budget. As you see it is not a peace treaty, however, one of the mentioned goals of the agreement is to establish peace in the Middle East. Note that the bible never said it would be a peace treaty in Danial 9. We will only know if the new ratified agreement made on Jan 1st 2021 is the true covenant if we see the abomination of desolation around July 1st, 2024, or possibly on April 19th of 2027, 2300 days after the covenant was signed. 

So, the ENPI was renewed or strengthened on Jan 1st, 2014, and again on Jan 1st, 2021 and this starts the countdown to the abomination over again.

If the abomination does not appear by April 19th, 2027 then we will have to watch for a new covenant in 2028. Or perhaps we are looking for a different agreement. Time will tell.

Here are my reasons for the 2300 days.

Daniel 8:11 speaking of the little horn:

 (11) Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

(12) And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised and prospered.

(13) Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?" And he said unto me, "Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed."

This chapter is all about the end of days. In verse 17 we read: for the time of the end shall be the vision.

I have never heard it taught exactly as it is written. However, when studying this chapter there seems to be no other way to understand it but literally.

Note that it can be argued that the covenant has to be broken in the middle of the 7 years as the majority teach, however, as I explained elsewhere on these pages, Daniel 9:27 does not say middle in the KJV. It says midst and so the abomination could be set up anytime during the 7 years. 

The fact that Apophis is supposed to come in in the spring of 2029 and it is mentioned in the bible codes tells me it is the one described all through the bible. If we read Rev 9 we find that the locust army comes out of the pit after the star falls and that they are only here for the final 5 months. This means Jesus can't return until at least 5 months after the asteroid hits.

Here is the link to show Apophis in the bible codes:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RexBd68g3c

From Jan 1st 2021 plus 2300 days is 6 and 1/4 years and lands on April 19th 2027, 2 years before Apophis is to hit on April 13th 2029. If we add 42 months for the reign of the beast to April 19th 2027, when the abomination is set up and the sanctuary is turned over to be trodden underfoot, we come to Dec 14th 2030. 

So Based on literal interpretation of Daniel 7 and the covenant of Jan 1st 2021 and the blessed day of 1335 days, in Daniel 12, after the abomination is set up, according to Daniel 12, the last trumpet should sound on Dec 14th, 2030.

Note that in Revelation 11 the outer court of the temple is given to the gentiles to be trodden under foot for 42 months.

We are to watch and pray.

 So to recap, many say that the sacrifice and oblation is to be taken away in the 'middle' of the 7 years which should be about June 30, 2024. However, just as the bible never said it would be a peace treaty, so the KJV never said the sacrifice would be stopped exactly in the middle of the 7 years, according to Daniel 9:27. What it says, in the King James Version, is that the prince would cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease in the 'MIDST' of the week. This could be any time within the 7 years. It could be one year after the covenant was signed or it could be 6 years after the covenant was signed. But it seems it could be the 2300 days of Daniel 8. We are watching and learning.

To prove this is a proper interpretation please look at Daniel 8:13-18 again. It is good to read these over and over to get a clear understanding:

Dan 8:8  Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.(Alexander the Great's 4 generals)

Dan 8:9  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

Dan 8:10  And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

Dan 8:11  Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

Dan 8:12  And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Dan 8:13  Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, "How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? "

Dan 8:14  And he said unto me, Unto 2300 days: then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

Dan 8:15  And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

Dan 8:16  And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

Dan 8:17  So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the end shall the vision be.

Notice again the host trodden under foot in verse 13. This treading under foot is what John spoke of in Revelation 11. Important note.

Rev 11:2  But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.  

That is the time of the gentiles.

So you see, if the latest ENPI is the covenant, we are now in the final days of this age. It was Jovier Solana who confirmed the original covenant on January 1, 2007. He was the high representative at that time for the European Union. It was strengthened to include efforts to bring a peaceful solution to the middle east conflict between Palestine and Israel beginning Jan 1st, 2014 and signed by the EU high representative, Catherine Ashton. The 2021 covenant was signed by High Representative, Borell Josep. 

So, the mother in Rev 12 may go into the wilderness for the next 1260 days after the abomination is set up. This would also start the 42 months for the 2 witnesses to give testimony in Jerusalem described in Rev 11. It could also start the 42 month reign of the beast over Jerusalem after the abomination is set up described in Rev 13. It may also start the final 1335 days of this age that ends in the blessed day spoken of in Dan 12:12. I would say that will be the day of the great, 7th and last trumpet. 

We are told not to set dates for the second coming, but we are told to watch and what I have explained is scripture, not my ideas. Is it possible that Jesus did not know the hour or the day because he did not know when the covenant would be signed? I find no scripture to give away the date for the confirmation of the covenant. Then it is not perfectly clear to me when the abomination will be set up, but when the real covenant is made then there are exact dates for many events in scripture when taken in context.


Understand that Jesus did not say to watch for the covenant. He said to watch for armies camped around Jerusalem in Luke 21 and the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24.

So if I were to make a possible time line at this point I would say the following:

1) The newest EU agreement in 2021 starts the final 7 year covenant.

2) There will be 2300 days until the abomination is set up. Notice it is not in the "middle" of the 7 years but is in the "midst" (somewhere during the 7 year covenant) just as the KJV tells us. Most other versions of the bible say "middle" and this causes confusion for the 2300 day verse

2b) The child of Revelation 12 is caught up about the end of the 2300 days

3) Armies surround Jerusalem and set up the abomination that causes desolation

4) There is great tribulation for the Jews in Israel. This is Jacob's trouble in Daniel 12 and the great tribulation in Matthew 24:15

5) In April 2029 Apophis falls and the way is made for the king and locust to ascend from the hollow earth pit.

6) The king who ascends from the pit for 5 months takes control  and sits in the temple showing himself that he is god.

7) The armies of the world gather in Megiddo and come down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat to fight the king from the pit in the battle of Armageddon.

8) Jesus returns and sends his angels to the four corners of the earth and all weapons turn on him. 

9) The rapture at the last trumpet 1335 days (Daniel 12) after the abomination is set up.

10) The 7 bowls of wrath are released.

 Of course this is subject to possible error as I am human, but I am sure it is pretty close.

 
Watch and pray that you will be found worthy to escape these things that must come upon the world. (The child of Rev 12)

P.S.

Here are a few EU pages that show the three 7 year agreements 

Below is the proof of a 7 year covenant beginning on January 1st 2007. Notice the effective date and the expiry date
