The Seventieth Week of Daniel 9: 27 As a Literary Key for Understanding the Structure of the Apocalypse of John (Mellen Biblical Press Series)

No current consensus on the structure of the Apocalypse of John exists. This study demonstrates that the Judgment section of the Apocalypse (Rev. 4-19) is structured, in part, by the 70th week of Daniel 9:27. The synoptic eschatological discourses of Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 provide the historical link between Daniel 9:27 and the Apocalypse. Chapters correlate common apocalyptic features among the texts, produce a framework by which the judgment section of Apocalypse is structured, and examine current proposals.
