Daniel's Book: Just a quick look
Daniel One: Carried off to Babylon

Daniel Five: Says the handwriting "you die"
Daniel Six: The Lion's Jews fixed
Daniel Seven: There's a Judge in Heaven
Daniel Eight: Antiochus spreads hate

Daniel Ten: Where's the Angel Been?
Daniel Eleven: A Vile King's succession
Daniel Twelve: Shine Bright till all is well
Daniel's Done: Now didn't we have fun?
Session 9
Unexpected Answers To Prayer
The Hebrew is far better translated "seventy 'sevens'" than "seventy weeks". 70X7=490 years
God had 'cut off' or 'cut out' a certain period of time (490 years) from the remainder of history for a specific purpose.
This period of time had been set apart specifically for the people of Israel and the city of Jerusalem
to finish transgression
to put an end to sin
to atone for wickedness
to bring in everlasting righteousness
to seal up vision and prophecy
to anoint the most holy
1. Seven sevens 2. sixty-two sevens 3. 1 seven 49 years + 434 years + 7 years
This segment of time was set to begin with the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 2:1 sets the date "in the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Ataxerxes (March April 444 B.C."
The consecutive 434 years would last until "the Anointed One". Hebrew transliteration masayah.
A 483 year period equates 173,880 days.
"After" is this interpretation's signal for a gap
After the sixty-two sevens, the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing.
John 1:12 refers to a group of people later termed the church age
Additionally the people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary
The final block of seven years will begin with a covenant signed between the "ruler"
