Seventy Weeks, the
Description
The SEVENTY WEEKS prophecy is divided into three parts - 7, 62, and 1. The period begins with the decree to build Jerusalem (B.C. 445) and ends with Christ's appearing. They are weeks of years - thus 490 years.Seven weeks - 49 years - were occupied with the re-building of the city and the wall; add to these 62 weeks - 434 years - making 483 in all, and we come to Messiah the Prince. His rejection by Israel has deferred the blessing; hence the missing week remains for fulfillment in the future. Seven years of trouble - 3 1/2 of which will be intense - thus await the restored Jews before the final blessing is brought in by Christ's appearing.
