[…] we believe the "69 Weeks" total concluded on Palm Sunday, AFTER which He was "cut off" (like Jer11:19b) "and have nothing [/or, 'but not for himself']"; […]
While I'm talking about Jeremiah 11:19 ^ , I guess I will add here an excerpt from a post I made some time back, comparing the phrase
in Jer11:19 ("
cut off from the land of the living") to other passages where this is found:
[quoting excerpt from my old post]
Notice the phrase
"the land of the living" in Jer11:19 ( in that post above ^ )... Which phrase is found
7x in Ezekiel (notice the
CONTEXT of the first one) -
Ezekiel 26:20 -
"When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory
in the land of the living;"
[
see context from vv.2-3 - "2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said
against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste: 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up."]
Ezekiel 32:23 -
"Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror
in the land of the living."
Ezekiel 32:24 -
"There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down
uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror
in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit."
Ezekiel 32:25 -
"They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused
in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain."
Ezekiel 32:26 -
"There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them
uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror
in the land of the living."
Ezekiel 32:27 -
"And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the
uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty
in the land of the living."
Ezekiel 32:32 -
"For I have caused my terror
in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the
uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord God."
