COUNTING THE WEEKS 91<br />

to its end exclusively upon consecrated Jewish or<br />

circumcised flesh . At the end of that week the<br />

anointing would be free to go to the uncircumcised<br />

believing non-Jews or Gentiles . So at the<br />

exact time marked by the great Timekeeper, the<br />

conversion of Gentile Cornelius and his household,<br />

followed at once by their being anointed with<br />

holy spirit, must have taken place at the final<br />

end of the seventieth week in the fall of A .D. 36 .<br />

time the desolation by the Roman legions and the<br />

end of the Jewish nation in Palestine came upon<br />

the unbelieving Israelites after the end of the<br />

seventy weeks. Jerusalem with her temple was<br />

wiped out A.D. 70, and the last Jewish stronghold,<br />

at Masada, on the west shore of the Dead sea,<br />

fell to the Romans at Passover time, A .D. 73 .<br />

as represented by the erstwhile Jewish alliance<br />

with Rome against Messiah the Prince . God's<br />

wrath was poured out upon that desolate nation .<br />

He baptized them with a baptism of fire of destruction<br />

. Matthew 3 :10-12 But the life-giving<br />

blessings that were secured by the coming and<br />

sacrifice of Messiah the Prince continue till this<br />

day for all believing and obedient people .<br />

16. After that upon whom was God's wrath poured out?<br />

How? When?
