STUDIES IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL

February 24, 2022

Daniel’s Confession and Prayer for Jerusalem—Gabriel Comforts him by the Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks. Dan. 9:1-27 continues.

Text: Dan. 9:26-27

9:26 “Several events are said to follow the seven weeks and the 62 weeks (or the 69 weeks). First, the Messiah would be cut off, a prediction of the death of the Messiah Jesus. Thus, the book of Daniel, written in the sixth century b.c., predicted not only the precise date of the Messiah’s coming (v. 25) but also that the Messiah would be put to death some time before the destruction of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. This was fulfilled when Jesus was crucified in a.d. 33 ( a.d. 30 according to some interpreters). Second, the people of the coming prince would destroy the city of Jerusalem and the second temple. The “coming prince” probably is a reference to the future ruler described as the little horn in Daniel 7, also known as the beast or the antichrist. He is not said to be the one to destroy Jerusalem and the temple; rather it is his people who will do it. Since Daniel 7 clearly viewed this ruler as coming from the fourth major world power, or Rome, this prophecy predicts that the Romans would destroy Jerusalem, as they did in a.d. 70. Third, there appears to be a significant time gap from the end of the sixty-ninth week to the beginning of the seventieth week.” HCSB Study bible
