Seventy Weeks
The term "Seventy Weeks" refers to a prophetic period detailed in Daniel 9:24-27, where the angel Gabriel explains to Daniel that "seventy weeks are decreed about your people and your holy city." This period is generally interpreted as 490 years (70 weeks of 7 years each) and is significant in biblical eschatology.The prophecy outlines a timeline for the restoration of Jerusalem and the coming of the Anointed One, who is understood by Christians to refer to Jesus Christ. The "seventy weeks" are divided into three segments: seven weeks (49 years) for rebuilding Jerusalem, sixty-two weeks (434 years) leading up to the coming of the Anointed One, and one final week (7 years) associated with significant events including the establishment of a covenant and eventual desolation (Daniel 9:27). This passage has been subject to various interpretations, with some viewing it as a linear timeline leading to Christ's first coming and others as a framework for eschatological events leading to the end times.
