Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel 9:24-27. God's timetable for restoring Israel and overthrowing the Gentile powers.
The Seventy Weeks. The occasion of the 70 weeks was Daniel's prayer that God would have mercy on Israel. The vision of the 70 weeks is God's answer. In this vision God reveals to Daniel the time schedule and major events which will lead to the establishment of Israel's Messianic kingdom.
The Length of Time of the 70 Weeks. The Hebrew term for weeks here (shebuah) simply means "sevens." The context must determine whether it is a week of days, or of years, etc.
(1) The weeks which have already been fulfilled demonstrate these are weeks of years rather than of days. It was almost 500 years from the rebuilding of the temple and of Jerusalem until the coming of Christ. This fits perfectly the testimony of Daniel 9:25, which places 69 weeks of years (483 years) between the two events. It is only reasonable to believe that the 70th week shall also be a week of years, or a seven year period.
(2) When this Hebrew term is used of weeks of days, the word "days" is added (Daniel 10:2-3).
(3) The concept of weeks of years was familiar to Jewish thinking (Leviticus 25:3-9).
(4) At the time of the vision, Daniel had been thinking in terms of weeks of years (Daniel 9:2 compared with 2 Chronicles 36:21).
The Divisions of the 70 Weeks. The 70 weeks are divided into distinct groups.
(1) During the first 7 weeks (49 years) Jerusalem was rebuilt in troublous times (compare Nehemiah).
(2) The next 62 weeks (434 years) extends from the rebuilding of Jerusalem until the coming of the Messiah.
(3) Between the 69th and 70th week is a period of undetermined time during which the Messiah is cut off (compare Matthew 27), Jerusalem is destroyed by Roman armies (A.D. 70), and there are desolations until the end. The Hebrew word translated "desolation" is also translated "destruction (Hosea 2:12). It refers to the fact that Jerusalem has been destroyed and overrun time and again throughout the interim period between the 69th and 70th weeks. Unforeseen by Daniel is the interlude of the church age, during which time the Messiah is resurrected and ascends back to Heaven to oversee the calling out of a people for His name from among the nations (Luke 19:11-27; Acts 15:14-18).
(4) The 70th week (the final seven years). The prince of the revived Roman Empire will make a covenant with Israel. That the Antichrist arises from the revived Roman Empire is evident by the fact that he is called the prince of the people who destroyed Jerusalem after Messiah's death; this was Rome. In the middle of the seven years the Antichrist will desecrate the Jewish temple (compare Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). There will be desolations until Christ returns to overthrow the Antichrist (compare Matthew 24:16-21; Revelation 11:2). The abomination that makes desolate marks the middle of the seven years. Compare Matthew 24:15 where Jesus places this event in the Tribulation period. This abomination of desolation probably refers to the occasion when the Antichrist will set himself up as god (2 Thessalonians 2:4).

Daniel’s 70th week is still future. I’m not too interested in what preterism teaches, because what they teach is not sound biblical doctrine, but doctrines which originated in the 1500s by a Jesuit named Alcasar....straight from the Roman Catholic Church, which is a source that is full of paganism and heretical teachings.

2) WHAT revived Roman Empire? SHOW ME THAT IN DANIEL or anywhere else.
3) Daniel’s 70th week is still future? antichrists say so. and ONLY antichrists. people who thoroughly REJECT what Jesus said and did and attribute His Work and God's decrees to SATAN.
