Daniel 9: Refuting the Maccabean Thesis

Michael Lofton (not Loftus- sorry) of the Reason & Theology Podcast asked me to do a follow up show to my take on Messianic Prophecies- specifically he wanted me to refute the Maccabean thesis of Daniel 9:24-27. In this episode I refute the claim that the 70 weeks of years correlates to the the time of the Maccabees and refers to the death of the anointed Hugh Priest Onias III.
