The mathematical possibilities of just one prophecy of this nature alone coming true would take an impossibly small probability to happen in reality. came to fruition in 30 A.D., hundreds of years later. This means a prophecy given to Daniel back in the third or second early century B.C. According to the timeline of Jewish calendars, the 69 th week would lead up to Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, followed by his death and resurrection soon after.
Theologians have added up the dates for the first 69 weeks. This article assumes we have not yet reached the 70 th week. Theologians dispute whether this has already taken place or whether we have yet to see its fulfillment as we wait in the 69-70-year gap. The last year (1 X 7): Usually referred to the tribulation period, which transpires in Revelation, when the antichrist comes, persecutes Christians, and Jesus returns for His second coming.The Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D., including the temple, which had been rebuilt in Nehemiah. The first half of this alludes to Jesus’ death on the cross. After those 434 years: They put the Anointed One to death and destroy the city.The Anointed One appears to mean Jesus, here. 434 years (62 X 7): A time designated for waiting for the Anointed One to come ( Daniel 9:26).49 years (7 X 7): The time it takes to rebuild Jerusalem since the time the Babylonians had destroyed it ( Daniel 9:25), which occurs in the Book of Nehemiah.The prophecy divides up these 490 years in a handful of ways. Although Christians typically refer to the period of God bringing everlasting righteousness as 70 weeks, they really mean 70 X 7 years.
Scholars agree that the "sevens" appear to mean "years." Therefore, 70 X 7 = 490 years. Gabriel mentions “seventy sevens” will take place before God will put an end to sin and bring everlasting righteousness ( Daniel 9:24). The angel Gabriel approaches Daniel in the latter half of the ninth chapter after Daniel prays for Israel. Although theologians have not reached a consensus on the exact timing of the 70 weeks mentioned in Daniel 9, we can draw a number of conclusions from this enigmatic prophecy.
