●THE REVELATION OF THE SEVENTY SEVENS
OF ISRAEL
9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy
people and upon thy holy city,
●to finish the transgression, and
●to make an end of sins, and
●to make reconciliation for iniquity, and
●to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
●to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most
Holy. In the concluding four verses of Daniel 9, one of
the most important prophecies of the Old
Testament is contained. The prophecy as a whole
is presented in verse 24.
The first sixty-ninesevens is described in verse 25. The events
between the sixty-ninth seventh and the
seventieth seventh are detailed in verse 26. The
final period of the seventieth seventh is
described in verse 27. A very important aspect of the prophecy given at
the start is that the period of time in question
relates to “thy people” and “thy holy city.” ●Even in
ruins, Jerusalem remains the city set apart in the
heart of God (cf. 9:20) and Daniel shared this
love for the city which is central in God’s program
for His kingdom both in the past and the future.●
Unlike the prophecies of Daniel 2, 7, and 8, which
primarily related to the Gentiles, this chapter is
specifically God’s program for the people of
Israel.
●In Daniel 9:24-27, 7 Weeks + 62 weeks = 483
years. After the 69 weeks, there will be a gap
before we arrive at the 70th week●. From this
point forward, there would be another 434 years
as Israel waited for the coming of the Messiah.
Again, if you use a literal translation of the 434
years and consider the 360-day calendar, we
mentioned earlier, this would bring us into the
time of Jesus in 33 A.D. ●This part of Daniel’s
prophecy was fulfilled in 33 A.D. when Jesus
made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. After
Christ presented Himself to Israel as her
Messiah on Palm Sunday and was subsequently
“cut off”, a nearly 2,000 year gap ensued.●
●When Christ was “cut off”, the time clock was
effectively stopped.● Then, in May of 1948, Israel
was once again back in the land. That was
significant because she had to be back in the land
before the prophecy to Daniel (9:24-27) could be
fulfilled. ●God had dealt with Israel as a nation up
to the time when Messiah was cut off. He does so
again when He resumes the program with Israel
for the 70th week, the final seven years.● As
Daniel would obviously interpret it. To make this
equivalent to the church composed of both Jews
and Gentiles, is to read into the passage
something foreign to the whole thinking of Daniel.
●The church as such has no relation to the city nor
to the promises given specifically to Israel
relating to their restoration and repossession of
the land.●
Once it has been established that the prophecy
relates to the people of Israel and the holy city
Jerusalem, six important purposes of God are
clearly discerned in verse 24:
(1) “to finish the transgression”;
(2) “to make an end of sins”;
(3) “to make reconciliation for iniquity”;
(4) “to bring in everlasting righteousness”;
(5) “to seal up the vision and prophecy”;
(6) “to anoint the most Holy.”
●The first three, however, do deal with sin named
in three ways: “the transgression,” “sins,” and
“iniquity.” ●

● THE FULFILLMENT OF THE SIXTY-NINE
SEVENS
9:25 Know therefore and understand, that
from the going forth of● the commandment to
restore and to build Jerusalem unto the
Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and
threescore and two weeks: the street shall be
built again, and the wall, even in troublous
times.● At the outset of the revelation of the details of
the seventy sevens, Daniel is exhorted to know
and understand the main facts of the prophecy
(cf. Dan 9:22). It is preferable to consider it an
exhortation.● Verse 25 introduces the timing of the fulfillment
of the prophecy. The 70 weeks of this prophecy
represent a period of 490 years, based on the
biblical principle that prophetic Scripture often
uses a day to represent a year (Ezekiel 4:4-
6; Numbers 14:33-34). In verses 25 and 27, the
period of 70 weeks is divided into three time
periods: seven weeks (49 years), 62 weeks (434
years) and one week (seven years).
The 70 weeks of Daniel were to begin “from the
going forth of the command to restore and build
Jerusalem” (verse 25). In 457 B.C., in the seventh
year of his reign, King Artaxerxes issued a
decree giving Ezra permission to return to
Jerusalem to complete the efforts to rebuild the
city (Ezra 7:6-10; Ezra 9:9).
● Where Do We Find Ourselves at the End of 69
Weeks?●
Using 457 B.C. as the starting point, we see that
during the first seven prophetic weeks (49 years)
the Jews who returned rebuilt the walls and city
of Jerusalem despite the efforts of their
enemies to thwart their work (457 to 408 B.C.).
● The Messiah was to come after another 62 weeks
(434 years). Counting 434 years from 408 B.C.
brings us to A.D. 27-the year during which Jesus
Christ was baptized and started His work as the
Messiah.● The first phrase in verse 26 says that the
Messiah would be “cut off” after the 62
prophetic weeks (counting the first seven, a total
of 69 prophetic weeks or 483 years).
9:26 And ● after threescore and two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and
the people of the prince that shall come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the
end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto t● he
end of the war desolations are determined.
In summarizing the period of the sixty-nine
sevens, the statement is made in verse 25 that
● the period will be “unto the Messiah the Prince.”
Most conservative expositors have interpreted
this as a reference to Jesus Christ● .
● The ‘anointed one’ is Jesus Christ, who was cut off by His death
upon the Cross of Calvary.”● If this interpretation
of verse 25 is correct, it provides the key to
verse 26 which states that after “threescore and
two weeks,” that is, the 7 plus 62 sevens, or after
the end of the sixty-ninth seven, the Messiah
shall be “cut off.” ● The verb rendered “to cut off”
has the meaning, “to destroy, to kill, it refers to
the death of Jesus Christ upon the cross.●
As this relates to the chronology of the prophecy, it
makes plain that ● the Messiah will be living at the
end of the sixty-ninth seventh and will be cut off,
or die, soon after the end of it.●
The prominence of the Messiah in Old Testament
prophecy and the mention of Him in both verses
25 and 26 make the cutting off of the Messiah
one of the important events in the prophetic
enfoldment of God’s plan for Israel and the world.
How tragic that, when the promised King came,
He was “cut off. ● The unbelief of Israel and the
calloused indifference of religious leaders when
confronted with the claims of Christ combined
with the hardness of heart of Gentile rulers to
make this the greatest of tragedies.● Christ was
indeed not only “cut off” from man and from life,
but in His cry on the cross indicated that He was
forsaken of God. ● The cry “My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?” reveals not only the
awfulness of separation from God but points also
to the answer-the redemptive purpose● . He was
the sacrificial lamb of God sent to take away the
sins of the world. Outwardly it appeared that evil
had triumphed.

●The First Aspect ---The expression to finish is derived
from the piel verb form of the root ka„la‚ meaning “to finish” in the sense of
bringing to an end. The most obvious meaning is
that Israel’s course of apostasy and sin and
wandering over the face of the earth will be
brought to completion within the seventy sevens.
The restoration of Israel which Daniel sought in
his prayer will ultimately have its fulfillment in
this concept.
●The second aspect of the program, “to make an
end of sins,” carries the idea of taking away sins
or bringing sin to final judgment.
Thus also God seals the hand of man that it
cannot move, Job 37:7, and the stars that they
cannot give light, Job 9:7… The sins are here
described as sealed, because they are altogether
removed out of the sight of God.”
●The third aspect of the program, “to make
reconciliation for iniquity,” seems to be a rather
clear picture of the Cross of Christ in which
Christ reconciled Israel as well as the world to
Himself (2 Co 5:19). As far as the Old Testament
revelation of reconciliation is concerned, the
Hebrew word kippe„r when used in relation to sin
means to “cover,” to “wipe out,” to “make… as
harmless, non existent, or inoperative, to annul (so far as God’s
notice or regard is concerned), to withdraw from
God’s sight, with the attached ideas of
reinstating in His favour, freeing from sin, and
restoring to holiness.
While the basic provision for reconciliation was
made at the cross, the actual application of it is
again associated with the second advent of Christ
as far as Israel is concerned, and an
eschatological explanation is possible for this
phase as well as an historic fulfillment.
●The fourth aspect of the program is “to bring in
everlasting righteousness.” There is a sense in
which this also is accomplished by Christ in His
first coming in that He provided a righteous
ground for God’s justification of the sinner. The
many Messianic passages, however, which view
righteousness as being applied to the earth at the
time of the second coming of Christ may be the
ultimate explanation. Jeremiah, for instance,
stated, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch,
and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall
execute judgment and justice in the earth. In
his days, ●Judah shall be saved, and
●Israelshall dwell safely: and this is his name
whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jer 23:5-6). The righteous
character of the Messianic kingdom is pictured
in Isaiah 11:2-5 (cf. Is 53:11; Jer 33:15-18).
●The fifth aspect of the program, “to seal up the
vision and prophecy,” is probably best
understood to mean the termination of unusual
direct revelation by means of vision and oral
prophecy. The expression to seal up indicates
that no more is to be added and that what has
been predicted will receive divine confirmation
and recognition in the form of actual fulfillment.
Once a letter is sealed, its contents are
irreversible (cf. 6:8).
●The sixth aspect of the prophecy, “to anoint the
most Holy,” has been referred to the dedication
of the temple built by Zerubbabel, to the
sanctification of the altar previously desecrated
by Antiochus. Others believe that the final seven
years is still eschatological future, it would
therefore broaden the possibility of fulfillment
to the second advent of Christ and events related
to it such as the millennial temple.

The Prophecy Of The Seventy Weeks
Daniel Chapter 9
PART 2
●THE COMING OF THE ANGEL GABRIEL
9:20-23 And while I was speaking, and praying,
and confessing my sin and the sin of my people
Israel, and presenting my supplication before
the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my
God; yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even
the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision
at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly,
touched me about the time of the evening
oblation. And he informed me, and talked with
me, and said, ●O Daniel, I am now come forth
to give thee skill and understanding●. At the
beginning of thy supplications the commandment
came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for
thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand
the matter, and consider the vision.
While Daniel was offering his petition to the
Lord, the answer was already on the way by means
of the heavenly messenger, the angel Gabriel.
●Daniel implies in verse 20 that the angel was sent
at the very beginning of his prayer●. As Daniel
expresses it, it was accomplished “whiles I was
speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and
the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my
supplication before the Lord my God for the holy
mountain of my God.” According to verse 21,
Gabriel touched Daniel about the time of the
evening oblation. It is obvious that the prayer of
Daniel recorded here is only a summary of the
actual oral prayer which probably was lengthy and
culminated at the time of the evening sacrifice.
●“The term ‘Gabriel’ means the strong one, or the
‘Strong God.●’” Gabriel could be translated “the
servant, the strong one of the strong God.” In
addition to the identification by the name itself,
Daniel adds, “whom I had seen in the vision at the
beginning,” that is, in chapter 8. Gabriel,
according to Daniel, “being caused to fly swiftly,”
arrived at the time of the evening oblation.
Although he flew swiftly, he did not arrive until
the end of Daniel’s prayer.
This sacrifice usually began about 3 p.m., and
consisted of a perfect lamb offered as a whole
burnt offering accompanied by meal and drink
offerings, which typified the future sacrifice of
Jesus Christ upon the cross as the spotless Lamb
of God (Heb 9:14). Daniel does not speak
specifically of the sacrifice but only of “the
evening oblation,” that is, the meal offering and
the drink offering. ●God in a sense met the
spiritual need of His people at the time of the
sacrifice and oblation, so Gabriel was sent by God
to meet Daniel’s special need at this time and
remind him of the mercies of God.●
Upon arrival, Gabriel talks with Daniel and states
that the purpose of his coming is “to give thee
skill in understanding.”
God, in a word, wants to assure Daniel of His
unswerving purpose to fulfill all His commitments
to Israel, including their ultimate restoration.
In verse 23, Gabriel confirms what is implied in
verse 20 that he was given instructions to go to
Daniel early in Daniel’s prayer.
●According to Gabriel’s own statement, he had
come to show Daniel what was necessary to
understand the entire matter of Israel’s
program, and specifically, to consider the vision
of the seventy weeks described in the verses
which follow.● Gabriel bears witness to the special
relationship which Daniel had to the Lord in that
he was one “greatly beloved.
Gabriel clearly told Daniel that the 70 week
program would begin when a decree was issued to
“restore and rebuild Jerusalem…” (Dan. 9:25). It
is important to note that the decree was to
restore and rebuild “Jerusalem”. When that event
took place, the countdown had begun.

The center part of verse 26 states “the people
of the prince that shall come shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary.” ●Historically the
destruction of Jerusalem occurred in a.d. 70
almost forty years after the death of Christ.●
The closing portion of verse 26, although not
entirely clear, indicates that the destruction of
the city will be like the destruction of a flood and
that desolations are sovereignty determined
along with war until the end. Because of the
reference to “the end” twice in verse 26, it would
be contextually possible to refer this to the end
of the age and to a future destruction of
Jerusalem. ●According to Revelation 11:2, “The
holy city shall they tread under foot forty and
two months “probably refers to the great
tribulation just before the second advent.●
However, there is no complete destruction of
Jerusalem at the end of the age, as Zechariah
14:1-3 indicates that the city is in existence
although overtaken by war at the very moment
that Christ comes back in power and glory.
Accordingly, it is probably better to consider all
of verse 26 fulfilled historically.
●By the time you get to the end of the 69 weeks,
sin has been atoned for because of the sacrifice
of Jesus, which is also a reference to him being
cutoff, mentioned in Daniel.● What we also see in
verse 26 is ●the rejection of the Messiah by
Israel and a mention of the destruction of the
temple in Jerusalem, which happened in 70 A.D.●
With these things complete, it opens that span of
time before we get to the 70th and final week
●What Do We Know about the 70th Week of
Daniel?●
●The 70th week of Daniel brings us to the period
known as the tribulation and brings a new
character into the picture,● namely the antichrist.●
●The tribulation is the 7-year period which begins
after the rapture of the church and ends when
Jesus returns to earth again.● During this time,
the antichrist will rise to power and this will be a
period of judgment on the earth. It will also be
the time where God will turn his attention
towards the nation of Israel. As Daniel mentions
in this prophecy, ●the antichrist will make a treaty
with Israel that will last for three and a half
years and then he will break this treaty.●
And he shall make a strong covenant with many
for one week, and for half of the week he shall
put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the
wing of abominations shall come one who makes
desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on
the desolator” (Daniel 9:27).●Though the antichrist will
come to power duringthis time, his reign will be short-lived. His end has
already been decreed and will occur at the end of
the tribulation.●
●The event that will bring this 7- year period of
tribulation to an end will be the return of Jesus
at his second coming.● ●When he returns, he will
immediately judge the antichrist and after that,
he will establish his millennial reign on the earth.
When he does this, he will bring in an everlasting
righteousness and anoint a most holy place, which will
complete the 70-week prophecy in Daniel.●
●What Does This Mean for Us Today?●
The 70 weeks in Daniel are one of the most
important prophecies to study in the Old
Testament. One reason is because it ties
together so many other prophetic words we find
in Scripture and helps us to see how God brings
about what he declares in his word.
●With the study of any prophecy, it should always
motivate you to do two things: one is to tell more
people about Jesus, and two is to make sure you
are living right before God.● I know some people
like to debate over prophetic interpretations, but
that is not the reason God gave us these
prophecies. The 70 weeks in Daniel are a
reminder of the care God takes over his word.
Right now, we sit somewhere between the end of
the 69th week and the beginning of the
70th week. ●While no one knows when that
70th week will begin, as you watch the events
happening on the earth, we know that the day is
drawing closer.● I encourage you to continue
studying prophecy. Just ●don’t let the study of
prophecy distract you from its true purpose. Let
it motivate you to do more for the kingdom,
especially as we watch the hour drawing near.●
