70 Weeks of Daniel: What Does the Prophecy Mean? – Don Henson lifehopeandtruth.com

The 70 weeks prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27 outlines the timing of the Messiah’s first and second comings, as well as the establishment of the New Covenant. Divided into 70 weeks, symbolizing 490 years, the prophecy begins with the decree to rebuild Jerusalem in 457 B.C. and culminates in the ministry of Jesus Christ.

The first 69 weeks (483 years) bring us to A.D. 27, marking the start of Jesus’ ministry. Verse 26 mentions the Messiah being “cut off” after 69 weeks, referring to His crucifixion. In verse 27, the pronoun “he” confirms a covenant (interpreted as the New Covenant) for one week (7 years), with the middle of the week signifying Jesus’ crucifixion.

The prophecy hints at an evil prince causing desolation, likely referring to the destruction of Jerusalem. The Messiah strengthens the covenant for 3½ years, symbolizing His ministry, and then ends sacrifices through His sacrificial death. Though the Messiah fulfilled aspects of the prophecy, the complete fulfillment awaits His return.

The specific timing of the remaining events in the 70th week is unclear. Understanding the prophecy requires attention to pronoun references and recognition that the Messiah is the central figure. The ultimate completion of the prophecy Jesus Christ’s return, fulfilling the remaining aspects outlined in verse 24.
