The Seventy Weeks and the Great Tribulation

A Study of the Last Two Visions of Daniel and of the Olivet Discourse

by Philip Mauro

Everything in the dispensational calendar hangs on a gap. Between the sixty-ninth and the seventieth week of Daniel nine, the system inserts the entire church age, a parenthesis of two thousand years that the text never mentions. Mauro puts that gap on trial. He works through Daniel's last two visions and through the Lord's own prophecy on the Mount of Olives, asking a single question of each passage: what did it say to the people who first heard it, and what happened next? His answer runs through the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, and he brings Josephus in as a witness who was there. Whether or not the reader ends where Mauro ends, the questions he asks of Daniel nine are the ones the system has never comfortably answered.

About the author

Philip Mauro

Philip Mauro (1859-1952) was an American patent attorney who practiced before the Supreme Court of the United States and drafted the brief in the Titanic case. Converted in 1903, he contributed to The Fundamentals and moved in dispensational circles before repudiating the system in his later writings on the kingdom, the seventy weeks, and the hope of Israel.
