Daniel9:24 PROPHECY OF THE SEVENTY WEEKS
Daniel9:24 PROPHECY OF THE SEVENTY WEEKS Daniel’s prophecy of the seventy “weeks” (“sevens”) (vv. 24–27) provides the chronological frame for Messianic prediction from Daniel to the establishment of the kingdom on earth and also a key to its interpretation. Its main features are as follows: (1) The entire prophecy is concerned primarily with Daniel’s “people” and their “holy city”—that is, Israel and Jerusalem. (2) Two princes are mentioned; the first is named the “Messiah the Prince” (v. 25); the second is described as “the prince that shall come” (v. 26), a reference to the little horn of ch. 7:8, whose “people” would destroy the rebuilt Jerusalem after the cutting off of the Messianic Prince (v. 26). (3) The seventy weeks of the prophecy are weeks of years, an important sabbatical time-measure in the Jewish calendar. Violation of the command to observe the sabbatical year brought the judgment of the Babylonian captivity and determined its length of seventy years. Compare Lev. 25:1–22; 26:33–35; 2 Chr. 36:19–21; Dan. 9:2. Compare also Gen. 29:26–28 for use of “week” to indicate seven years. (4) These 490 prophetic years are each 360 days long. This is proved by the biblical references to the seventieth week of seven years, which is divided into two halves (v. 27), the latter half being variously designated as “a time and times and the dividing of time” (Dan. 7:25; compare Rev. 12:14); forty-two months (Rev. 11:2; 13:5); or 1260 days (Rev. 11:3; 12:6). In this connection it should be remembered that, in the grand sweep of prophecy, prophetic time is invariably so near as to give full warning, so indeterminate as to give no satisfaction to mere curiosity (compare Mt. 24:36; Acts 1:7).
