Episode 6: Daniel’s 70 Weeks

“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city” | Daniel 9:24 - Babylonian Captivity to Messiah to the End

Synopsis

The 70 weeks prophecy given to Daniel provides key insights into God’s prophetic plans for Israel. Some may gloss over the fact that it’s a prophecy for Daniel’s people and his holy city Jerusalem, but this is key in recognizing the often stated fact that God is not done with His people Israel. Daniel wanted to know what his people’s future would be now that the 70 years prophesied by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled. His humble and repentant heart was dear to God and He responded to Daniel with the answer to his question.

Not only was the Messiah’s first coming foretold in this revelation given to Daniel, but the final week of seven years was foretold in which almost all other end-time prophecy would unfold. The centrality of Israel in the land and in Jerusalem for these prophecies to be fulfilled tells us a lot about several aspects of Bible prophecy that will be covered throughout this series of Bible studies.

While many of Daniel’s visions and prophecies were not fully understood by him, we see fulfilled through him the promise that we would not be in darkness concerning the times of the end and we are given both provable precision in Bible prophecy from the historic record, and a stronger faith that what God tells him about all of our future is just as reliable and precise.
