My Imagined Conversation with CJ Lovik

Daniel's 4900 Year Timeline of Redemption

The Revelation That Changes Everything

We are living in the most extraordinary moment since the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What you are about to read is not just another teaching, not another prophetic theory, not another attempt to predict dates or impress minds. This is a revelation that has been hidden in plain sight for over 2,500 years — sealed until the time of the end — and now, by the grace of God, the seal is opening.

This is not a discovery of man. It is the unveiling of God’s prophetic calendar, the original timing of His redemptive plan written in the Hebrew Scriptures — the very same plan Daniel was told to seal up “until knowledge increases and many run to and fro.” That time is NOW.

This discovery is not about secret codes or numerology. It is about the precision of the Word of God, down to the very letters He breathed through His prophets. What has been misunderstood for centuries is being restored — not by new revelation, but by returning to the original language and meaning that translators, bound by human tradition, obscured.

Daniel’s Sealed Prophecy and THE Gathering of King Jesus

When the true pattern is restored, everything changes. The prophecy that has puzzled scholars for generations unfolds with perfect clarity. The seventy “weeks” of Daniel were never about weeks of years — they were the backbone of all history, a 4,900-year timeline that stretches from creation to the new creation. It reveals that our generation stands at the completion of the 70th Jubilee — the final threshold before the fulfillment of everything written.

This is not sensationalism. It is Scripture.

It is not fear-mongering. It is faith-building.

It is not my message or CJ Lovik’s message. It is God’s message — revealed in His Word, confirmed by His Spirit, and testified by His Son.

We stand on holy ground.

Every believer must understand what time it is.

This is not the hour to sleep. It is the hour to watch, to warn, and to witness.

When Jesus rebuked the religious leaders, He said, “You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.” (Matthew 16:3 NASB). That rebuke still echoes today. But now, in His mercy, the Lord is making the signs unmistakable.

This message must go forth — to pastors and parents, to teachers and teenagers, to churches and to the nations.

The same Spirit who revealed the Gospel to the apostles is revealing the fullness of God’s prophetic calendar to this final generation, so that we may understand the urgency of the hour and the certainty of His soon return (appearing to gather).

This is the most important discovery in the history of humanity — not because it exalts man’s intellect, but because it exalts God’s integrity. It proves that His Word is true, that His timing is exact, and that His promises are sure.

Now is the time for every follower of Jesus Christ to learn, to share, and to proclaim this truth to the ends of the earth.

The clock of heaven is striking midnight.

The Bridegroom is at the door.

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come.

THE IMAGINED CONVERSATION WITH CJ LOVIK

Understanding God’s Prophetic Calendar

What follows is an imagined conversation—something I wish could happen in real life. I’ve often thought, Wouldn’t it be amazing to sit across from CJ Lovik and ask him to explain his discoveries about Daniel 9 and God’s prophetic calendar?

What follows is an imagined conversation in my mind, like a parable. It didn’t happen in Montana or anywhere else on earth, but I believe the Holy Spirit can use my imagination as a teaching tool (parable).

My purpose is simple: to help others grasp deep prophetic truths through a human-sized dialogue—an “End-Time “Day of the Lord” Training for Dummies,” if you will.

Everything CJ explains here is drawn directly from his published studies and Scripture itself. Nothing new is being invented; only the setting is imagined so the learning can feel personal and alive.

So come with me now—imagine pulling up a chair at a small table covered with open Bibles, notebooks, and strong coffee—and listen in as I ask CJ the questions I’ve always wanted to ask.

The Imagined Conversation Begins

I pictured myself sitting across from CJ Lovik, the afternoon sun spilling through a window. My mind was crowded with questions about prophecy, calendars, and the meaning of Daniel 9.

“CJ,” I began in my imagination, “if you and I could talk face-to-face, I’d ask you about the thing you’ve hinted at in your videos—the idea that we’ve misunderstood the most important time prophecy in the Old Testament.”

CJ smiled the way good teachers do when they know their student is ready to learn. “All right, Craig,” he said in my mind’s ear. “Let’s talk about that.”

He slid a well-worn Hebrew Bible toward me—the same way I’ve seen him handle Scripture on screen.

“What if,” he asked, “almost every English Bible translation has been misreading Daniel 9:24 for four hundred years? What if the real prophecy spans not 490 years, but 4,900?”

I could almost feel my eyebrows lift. “You’ve got my attention,” I said.

CJ opened to Daniel 9:24 and pointed. “Read this the way your English Bible puts it: ‘Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city…’ Now, Craig, what does that mean to you?”

I answered the way most of us would. “Seventy weeks—seventy periods of seven days. That’s 490 days, though we usually call them weeks of years, right?”

He nodded patiently. “Exactly. We take ‘weeks’ as symbolic, multiply by seven years, and end up with 490 years. But look closely at the Hebrew word translated weeks. It’s shaboam. And shaboam doesn’t mean weeks at all—it means seventy, or ten sevens. It’s a multiplier, not a calendar unit.”

He wrote a simple equation: 70 × 70 = 4,900.

“When Daniel repeats the word—shaboam shaboam—the Hebrew structure itself tells you to multiply. Seventy times seventy. Four thousand nine hundred years. That’s the master frame of God’s prophetic plan.”

I let the number sink in. “Four thousand nine hundred years… then this prophecy covers all of redemptive history?”

CJ nodded. “From Israel’s beginnings in Egypt all the way to the new heaven and new earth. It’s the panoramic timeline of everything God is doing with Israel and with mankind.”

I imagined pausing, needing to breathe. “So,” I asked, “how do you know this isn’t just numerology?”

“That’s where understanding Hebrew itself matters,” he said. “Each Hebrew letter carries sound, picture, and numeric value. The language was designed to reveal patterns, not to hide them.”

He drew two letters. “Alef—the ox head—stands for strength, leadership, God Himself. Tav—the cross or mark—stands for completion, the end. Put them together—Alef-Tav—and you have God’s signature: I am the First and the Last. When Jesus calls Himself Alpha and Omega, He’s translating that same truth from Hebrew to Greek.”

“Wow,” I whispered in my imaginary classroom.

CJ continued, “Even the sacred Name, YHWH—what we call the Tetragrammaton—speaks prophetically. In the ancient pictographs those four letters mean, Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail. The very Name of God foreshadows the crucifixion. The One who said ‘I AM’ wrote redemption into His own Name.”

I felt that familiar chill you get when the Word opens before your eyes. “So when Thomas said, ‘Unless I see the print of the nails,’ he was looking at the fulfillment of the Name itself.”

“Exactly,” CJ said. “Jesus—Yeshua—is YHWH. The translators didn’t invent that; it’s embedded in the letters. And once you see it, you can’t un-see it.”

He leaned back. “Now, Craig, the tragedy is that mistranslations in Daniel 9 have hidden this kind of precision for centuries. Two words in particular: shaboam and shenim.”

I pictured him writing them on a whiteboard.

“First, shaboam. We’ve already seen it means seventy, not weeks. But translators in the 1600s forced it into the mold of ‘weeks’ because church tradition needed a 490-year prophecy ending at Jesus’ first coming. That decision shrank God’s 4,900-year plan into 490 years and obscured the bigger picture.”

He turned to the second word. “Then there’s shenim, which simply means years. It’s the plural of shanah. Over six-hundred times in the Old Testament it means years, yet in Daniel 9:26 English versions render it two—‘threescore and two weeks.’ But Hebrew distinguishes between shenayim (two) and shenim (years). In 1 Samuel 13:1 both appear side by side—‘shenayim shenim’—‘two years.’ Any beginning Hebrew student knows the difference.”

He looked at me as though through the page. “So when Daniel 9:26 says, ‘after sixty shenim,’ it means after sixty years, not sixty-two weeks. Changing that one word was enough to break the entire prophetic code.”

I could feel the weight of it. “You’re saying the translators chose what fit their timeline.”

“I’m saying they couldn’t see how ‘sixty years’ fit their system, so they forced it into ‘sixty-two weeks.’ But God’s Word doesn’t need our adjustments. It needs our submission.”

I sat back in my imagined chair, overwhelmed but intrigued. “CJ, this is astonishing. But what does it actually mean? Why does God’s 4,900-year clock matter to us now?”

He smiled. “Because those two calendars I mentioned—the 7,000-year sabbatical pattern and the 7,056-year Jubilee pattern—are converging right now. The Jubilee count that began when Israel entered the land in 1407 BC reaches its 70th cycle in 2025. That’s seventy Jubilees—3,430 years exactly. And Daniel 9:24 tells us what happens at the close of that cycle: the time of Jacob’s trouble begins—the seven-year Tribulation that leads to Messiah’s return.”

He wrote on the board:

7,000-Year Calendar = 3969 BC → 3032 AD
7,056-Year Calendar = 4004 BC → 3053 AD

“Two clocks, same foundation, different measurements,” he explained. “The first measures mankind’s labor under sin—six days of work and one day of rest. The second measures God’s entire redemptive plan—144 Jubilees of 49 years each. Both end with the new creation.”

I found myself whispering, “Then we’re standing at the threshold.”

CJ nodded gently. “Exactly. In 1948 Israel was reborn—the 70th Jubilee marker from 1406 BC. Add another full Jubilee cycle and you reach 2025. Everything converges there. The season of redemption is closing, Craig.”

I imagined CJ turning back to the whiteboard, marker in hand, eyes bright with quiet conviction.

“There’s more,” he said. “Once you correct shaboam and shenim, Daniel’s prophecy unfolds like a map. It shows not only the first coming of Messiah, but the entire sweep of time from creation to new creation.”

I could almost hear the squeak of the marker as he wrote again:

Shaboam × Shaboam = 70 × 70 = 4,900 years.

“See, Craig, that headline number gives us the whole master calendar. It divides naturally into Jubilee units. Each Jubilee is forty-nine years—seven sabbatical cycles. The prophecy is a perfect structure of one hundred Jubilees.”

I imagined leaning forward. “So the seventy ‘weeks’ we read about were never small slices of time—they were the backbone of history itself.”

“Exactly. And Daniel 9:25 through 27 breaks that 4,900-year block into segments—seventy, sixty, and seven—each multiplied by seven to reveal sub-periods of 3,430, 420, and 49 years. That’s why the translation matters. You lose the mathematics, you lose the message.”

He set the marker down and spoke softly. “For four centuries people have tried to force Daniel’s words to fit a 490-year scheme. But once the real values are restored, everything aligns: the Exodus, Israel’s entry into the land, the birth and death of Messiah, the rebirth of the nation, and finally the end of the age.”

I thought about the precision of it all. “It sounds like God’s calendar is exact to the year.”

“It is,” CJ said. “And it tells us where we stand right now—at the close of the seventieth Jubilee. That’s why this matters.”

I wanted to slow down, to breathe. “CJ, if this is true, what happens next? What about believers—the Church?”

He smiled, that teacher’s smile that mixes gravity with hope. “That’s my favorite part, Craig. Because hidden inside those same verses that were mistranslated is the promise of deliverance for the redeemed.”

He opened the Bible again and read: ‘After the sixty years Messiah shall be cut off…’ Then he looked up. “Most English versions add, ‘but not for Himself,’ or ‘and have nothing.’ But the Hebrew phrase is ve’ayin—‘and was not,’ ‘and vanished.’ Where else do we see those words?”

“Enoch,” I answered, catching the connection.

“Exactly. ‘Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.’ Same phrase. Daniel 9:26 is describing two events: Messiah cut off—His crucifixion—and then those belonging to Him vanishing—taken without dying. It’s the Rapture hidden in plain sight.”

I sat back in the quiet of my imagination, stunned. “So Daniel 9 includes the whole sequence—the cross and the catching away.”

CJ nodded. “Right. The prophecy’s scope is massive: the redemption of Israel, the salvation of the nations, the gathering of the Church, and finally the consummation of all things. Once you restore the text, it’s all there.”

He leaned forward as if the next words were personal. “We can’t know the exact day or hour. Jesus said that. But we can know the season. The seventieth Jubilee—from Israel’s entrance into the land in 1407 BC to 2025 AD—marks the end of a great cycle. After that comes the Time of Jacob’s Trouble—the seven-year Tribulation that completes this age.”

I heard my own voice asking, “Then what should I do with this? What do we do?”

CJ’s expression softened. “That’s what I’d tell anyone, Craig: Learn it, master it, pray over it, and teach it. Make it simple enough for a drowning man to grasp. The world is full of people gasping for truth. This revelation isn’t for scholars only—it’s for anyone willing to listen.”

In my imagination I saw him slide a stack of papers across the table—charts, dates, Scriptures, handwritten notes. “All of it’s here,” he said. “Test every number against the Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to confirm it. But don’t hide it. Time is short.”

The scene in my mind shifted; CJ stood at a window looking out toward wide Montana skies. “Every time I see the clouds,” he said quietly, “I remember what the angels told the disciples:
‘This same Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go.’ He’s coming in the clouds, Craig. And I don’t want anyone to miss Him—not you, not your family, not anyone.”

Those words hung in the silence of imagination until they became a prayer in my own heart: Lord, don’t let anyone miss You.

The vision shifted again. I pictured us sitting outside under a clear night sky—the kind you can only imagine over Montana—stars blazing like promises. CJ broke the quiet. “Jesus said, ‘As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.’ Most people think that only means moral corruption and indifference. But there’s also a pattern in the timing.”

He opened his Bible and read: ‘Come into the ark, you and all your household, for yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain.’ Then another verse: ‘In the six-hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month… the fountains of the great deep burst open.’

He looked up. “That’s the seventeenth of Cheshvan—thirty days after the Day of Atonement. Noah entered the ark on the tenth of Cheshvan, exactly one month after Yom Kippur. If the pattern holds, the call to enter—the rapture—could align with that same interval.”

He paused. “The Day of Atonement in 2025 falls on October 11–12. Thirty days later brings us to November 10—right in that Noahic window.”

I felt a chill even in my imagination. “And if nothing happens?”

CJ smiled slightly. “Then we keep watching. If 31 AD for the crucifixion isn’t the right anchor, then maybe 32 AD is. But whether the timing is this year or next, the pattern remains true: Jesus is coming. The prophecies are converging. I’d rather be watching and mistaken than asleep and unprepared.”

He folded his hands, voice steady. “Even if my calculations were off by a year or two, the foundation stands. The Hebrew text, the Jubilee cycles, Israel’s rebirth—none of that changes. What we’re seeing is the unsealing of what Daniel was told to seal until ‘the time of the end.’ It’s happening now.”

I imagined myself nodding slowly. “Then this conversation—this imagined one—exists to help others see it too.”

CJ smiled again. “Exactly. Make it simple. Make it clear. Keep pointing people to Jesus. Because the purpose of prophecy isn’t fear—it’s faithfulness. Every pattern, every Jubilee, every letter of Scripture whispers the same truth: He’s coming soon.”

I imagined the scene shifting again. The two of us were now sitting quietly, the air heavy with the weight of what we had just discussed.

“CJ,” I said after a long pause, “I understand the timing, the numbers, the language, and even the patterns. But I keep wondering something deeper: Why now? Why me? Why should someone like me be given the chance to understand any of this?”

CJ smiled with the calm certainty of a teacher who has lived the answer. “That’s the same question Daniel asked, Craig. He didn’t understand what he was seeing either. God told him, ‘Go your way, Daniel, for these words are sealed up until the time of the end.’ And here we are. The seals are opening not because any one of us is special, but because it’s time. God chooses the moment, not the man.”

That truth hit hard. “So, we’re alive in the generation meant to see the seals open?”

He nodded. “I believe so. Knowledge is increasing just as Daniel was told. People all over the world are suddenly understanding the feasts, the calendars, the signs in the heavens, and the patterns hidden in Scripture. The Spirit is teaching, because the time is near.”

The wind in my imagination stirred the pages of his Bible as if punctuating the thought. “And that,” he said softly, “is why the Church must wake up. Too many are still chasing man-made teachings instead of studying the Word itself. They’ve built doctrines on mistranslations and ignored the patterns God built into His language.”

I could almost hear his voice grow stronger. “This is why we unlearn—to rebuild on the true foundation. It isn’t about charts or secret codes. It’s about understanding that the Author of Time has written His story in advance, and He wants His people to know it.”

He flipped to Revelation 19 and read aloud: ‘For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.’

Then he looked straight at me. “That’s the point, Craig. Prophecy isn’t about predicting dates; it’s about revealing Jesus.”

I nodded slowly, letting the words burn into my heart. “That’s what people miss. It’s not about decoding; it’s about knowing Him.”

CJ smiled. “Exactly. When we see how the Hebrew words, the feasts, and the Jubilee cycles all point to Yeshua, we’re not learning trivia—we’re learning intimacy. God wants His bride ready. That’s what this is all about.”

We sat in silence again for a moment that felt holy. Then I said quietly, “CJ, if this conversation could really happen—if I could sit here for three days with you—I think I’d end up like Daniel: speechless.”

He chuckled softly. “Maybe. But remember what the angel told Daniel: ‘Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.’ Waiting isn’t passive. It’s preparation. It’s the faithful endurance of a watchman.”

He closed the Bible gently. “Craig, if you imagine this conversation so others can learn, do it with humility. Tell them plainly: this is an imagined dialogue, but the truths are real. Encourage them to open their Bibles, to test everything, to study like Bereans. That’s what will change hearts.”

In my mind I saw myself standing, feeling both gratitude and urgency. “CJ, thank you. I can’t truly sit at your table, but this imagined talk has already changed the way I’ll teach others.”

He smiled again, his eyes full of that warm light that every good teacher carries. “Then you’ve caught the purpose. It isn’t to impress; it’s to invite. You’re not here to make people follow a timeline—you’re here to make them fall in love with the Author of Time.”

He turned to look toward the horizon one last time. “Every Jubilee has pointed to Him. Every feast has echoed His plan. Every word of Daniel 9 leads to the cross, the resurrection, and the soon return of Jesus Christ. Tell them that, Craig. Tell them He’s coming soon, and they must be ready.”

The scene faded slowly in my imagination until all that remained was the open Bible before me, pages fluttering as if stirred by breath. I closed it gently and whispered, “Yes, Lord. I’ll tell them.”

The Real Invitation

That’s how I imagined my conversation with CJ Lovik would go. I never sat in his Montana home. I never shared coffee across a real table. But I did share something more eternal—the same Word, the same Spirit, the same hunger to understand the times and the seasons of God.

The conversation was imagined; the urgency is not. The truths belong to Scripture, not to me or to CJ. But if this creative retelling helps one more person grasp God’s prophetic plan and surrender their life to Jesus, then the imagination has done its work.

Everything you’ve just read is a doorway to deeper study. The full teaching, with Scripture references, charts, Hebrew word studies, and the complete timeline of God’s prophetic calendar, follows in the Complete Study Guide.

Let’s keep learning together—watching, waiting, and working while it’s still day. Because soon, very soon, night will come when no one can work, and the King will return.

What Happens if We Get it WRONG?

What if we got the 70 "weeks" of Daniel wrong? What would it mean?

That’s the right question, and it’s the one that cuts straight to the heart of why this message must be shared.

If we got the seventy “weeks” of Daniel wrong, we didn’t just make a minor translation mistake — we misunderstood God’s prophetic timeline itself.

Let’s unpack this carefully, truthfully, and biblically.

Daniel’s Prophecy Is the Master Calendar of Redemption

Daniel 9:24 says: “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.”

That single verse outlines everything God intends to accomplish — sin defeated, righteousness established, the plan finished, the kingdom restored.

It’s not just a timeline for Israel — it’s the divine schedule for all of human history.

If “weeks” (shabuim) was mistranslated, and Daniel didn’t mean seventy weeks of years (490 years), but seventy sevens (70 × 70 = 4,900 years), then the scope of the prophecy is far greater than anyone has taught since the 1600s.

What It Would Mean

If “weeks” was mistranslated, it means:

A. The Prophecy Is Still in Motion

We’re not looking back at a completed 490-year cycle fulfilled at Christ’s first coming; we’re living near the end of a 4,900-year divine clock that began in Genesis and concludes with Revelation.

Daniel 9:24–27 is not merely about when Messiah came — it’s about when He will come again.
It stretches from the fall of man to the restoration of all things — from the first Adam to the Second Adam’s eternal reign.

B. The 70th “Week” Isn’t Seven Years of Confusion — It’s the Final Segment of Time Itself

For centuries, scholars have debated the “missing” week, the “gap,” and the precise start and end points.

But if the word “weeks” was never meant to describe weeks of years at all, the confusion vanishes.

God’s 70 × 70 = 4,900-year plan runs like a flawless clock from creation to new creation — a Jubilee of Jubilees.

That means the 70th cycle—the one we are now completing—marks the boundary between this age and the next.

C. It Reveals the Precision of God’s Word

It shows that every major redemptive event — the Exodus, the giving of the Law, the first coming of Christ, the rebirth of Israel — fits into exact sabbatical and Jubilee cycles.

This isn’t coincidence.
It’s the mathematical proof of divine authorship.
It vindicates Scripture itself.

Why It Matters Now

Because the 70th Jubilee — the completion of the final 49-year cycle since Israel entered the Promised Land in 1406 BC — converges with our present generation.

If that’s true, we’re standing on the threshold of Daniel 9:24 being fully accomplished:

The end of transgression.

The completion of atonement.

The bringing in of everlasting righteousness.

The sealing of all vision and prophecy.

The anointing of the Most Holy Place.

That’s not “the end of the world.”

That’s the consummation of God’s plan.

What It Demands of Us

If we got Daniel’s “weeks” wrong, it means the Church has been operating with an incomplete map of God’s plan.

It means time is shorter than we realized.

It means the final harvest is now, and the Bride must awaken.

This isn’t about boasting in new insight. It’s about returning to the plain meaning of Scripture — humbly, reverently, and urgently.

If the Holy Spirit is revealing what was sealed, it’s because the hour has come for the Church to understand it and proclaim it.

In Summary

If we got the seventy “weeks” wrong…

We misunderstood God’s clock.
We underestimated His precision.
We misread the scale of His plan.

And yet — in His mercy — He is now correcting our vision, so that we might see, believe, and prepare.

If that’s true, then this discovery isn’t just interesting — it’s history’s single most important warning and invitation:

“But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom! Come out to meet Him.’” (Matthew 25:6 NASB)
