A look at the close ties between the 70 week prophecy and the first four weeks. A demonstration of how the outpouring of the Holy Spirit 50 days after the resurrection was predicted in the sanctuary service and is tied with Jesus' inauguration as high priest in heaven.

Jonah and the Inauguration
4. A POINT
In looking at Daniel 8 and 9 we recognize that the
feasts that were fulfilled by the end of the 70 week
prophecy was the spring feast we take a look at the
feast also how they were fulfilled in the 70 week
prophecy.
In addition the events and circumstances surrounding
Jesus’ first coming can be shown to be relation in
bigger way to Jesus’ second coming.

5. PASSOVERLamb is separated from flock on
tenth day
On 14th day lamb is killed and blood
placed on posts
Flesh shall be roasted and eaten
with bitter herbs
Must be eaten in haste in
preparation to leave
Whatever remains must then be
burned to ashes

6. WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD
Jonah and the Inauguration
7. Bread eaten with the Passover
was not leavened as the bread
that Israel ate when leaving
Egypt did not have time to rise (cf
Exodus 12:34). From day 14 to
day 21 of the first month Israel
was expected to eat unleavened
bread

9. JONAH PROPHECY
But he answered and said unto them, An evil
and adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but
the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was
three days and three nights in the whale's
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days
and three nights in the heart of the earth.
(Matthew 12:39-40 KJV)

11. TIME NOT YET COME
John 7:8-9 KJV
Luke 4:28-30 KJV

12. TIME IS COME
When I was daily with you in the temple, ye
stretched forth no hands against me: but this is
your hour, and the power of darkness. (Luke
22:53 KJV)
Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power
at all against me, except it were given thee from
above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee
hath the greater sin. (John 19:11 KJV)
Jonah and the Inauguration
13. PASSOVER
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may
be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and
wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of
sincerity and truth. (1 Corinthians 5:7-8 KJV)
Jonah and the Inauguration
14. FIRST FRUITS
But every man in his own order: Christ the
firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his
coming. (1 Corinthians 15:23 KJV)
These are they which were not defiled with
women; for they are virgins. These are they
which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
These were redeemed from among men, being
the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
(Revelation 14:4 KJV)
Jonah and the Inauguration
16. In Leviticus chapter
8 is given the
instructions relating
to the steps to be
followed when
nature is inaugurated.

17. IN HEAVEN
Hebrews, an epistle written by Paul, clearly
explains that the new covenant also has a
sanctuary. This sanctuary needed also to be
inaugurated. The inauguration ceremony of
Leviticus 8 and Numbers 7 has its antitype in
heaven.
Jonah and the Inauguration
How does the prophecy of Matthew 12:39-40 match with the prophecy of Daniel 9. It only finds its match in the Sanctuary. The teaching that the “midst of the week” is the middle of the literal week is not based on the testimony of Scripture.
