“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 9:24](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%209%3A24&version=NKJV) (seventy weeks = 490 days) “Know therefore and understand, That from the going forth of the command To restore and build Jerusalem Until 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 9:25](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%209%3A25&version=NKJV) (69 weeks = 483 days) “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 9:26](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%209%3A26&version=NKJV) (62 weeks = 434 days) “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.” [Daniel 9:27](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%209%3A27&version=NKJV)  (1 week = 7 days, or 3.5 days + 3.5 days) ### Notable events in the vision - 490 days 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 - 483 days - from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks (49 days) and sixty-two weeks (434 days, for a total of 483 days) - The street (or open square, in Jerusalem) shall be built again, and the wall (or moat), even in troublesome times. - 434 days - Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; (after the 434 days) - 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. (Related to the flood of Rev 12:15,16?) - 7 days - Then he shall confirm a treaty with many for one week; but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. - And till the end of the war desolations are determined - on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolator # My Current View The 490 days end on the same date as the 2300 and 1335 days. The 434 days may have one portion for a historical application (Christ’s death) and the other portion for the time of the end application (city and sanctuary destroyed by flood) One week has a 3.5 day element (but in the middle of the week), much like the two witnesses. - Start events 490: not specified (probably same as 483 days) - Start events 483: Command to restore and build Jerusalem - Start events 434: not specified (probably same as 483 days) - Start events 7 days: Covenant confirmed - Middle events 3.5 days: End to sacrifice and offering - End events 7 days: the end is poured out on the desolate - End events 483 days: Messiah the Prince - End events 434 days: Jerusalem and sanctuary destroyed by a flood - End Events 490 days, 1 week: Seal up (finish) vision and prophecy, make an end to sins, anoint the most holy, in short Christ’s second coming <span class="center-menu">[[Home Page]]</span>
