Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy temple, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy of Holies.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build the temple until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seventy weeks; the gateways shall be built again, and the courts, even in troublesome times.
And after the seventy weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the Prince who is to come shall destroy the heretics and dispensationalists. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined. Then He shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be One who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the dispensationalists.
Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until the Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times.
Daniel 9:26 And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; and the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined.
Daniel 9:27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate.
Verse 24 notes: The length of the prophecy is (70 x 7) 490 360-day years and is about the Jews and Jerusalem. At the end of this time period there will be no more sin and transgression as the Messiah will be reigning on the earth.
Verse 25 notes: It would be 69 "weeks" or 173,880 days (69 x 7 x 360) from the command of King Artaxerxes given to Nehemiah on March 14, 445 BC to rebuild Jerusalem till the Messiah would be unveiled to the nation of Israel on Palm Sunday April 6, 32 AD. (Psalm 118:24)
Verse 26 notes: This verse divides the prophecy into two parts creating a gap of time. This gap of time is explained by Paul in Ephesians 3:1-7. After 69 "weeks" Jesus Christ was put to death for the sins of the world and not for Himself. This "gap of time" interpretation is advanced further as Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed by Titus in 70 AD approximately 40 years after the death of Jesus causing the dispersing the Jews throughout the known world.
Verse 27 notes: After the "times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24), the antichrist will establish a treaty with the nation of Israel. In the middle of the last seven years, the antichrist will abolish sacrifices being made by the Jews and declare himself God. (Matthew 24:15-22; 2 Thess. 2:3-4)
