Daniel 9:24-27, Seventy Literal Weeks Explained?

Daniel's 70 weeks are literal 7 day periods, or 490 literal days.

If Daniel meant 490 years he would have written

(Four hundred and ninety years), simple

Daniel had no restrictions in "Writing" exact numerology as seen below.

Daniel 6:1KJV
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;

Daniel 8:14KJV
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

Daniel 12:11KJV
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Below in Daniel 10:2-3 we see just another example of Daniel's literal weeks, as Daniel mourned and fasted for 3 literal weeks or 21 days.

Daniel 10:2-3KJV
2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weekswere fulfilled.

Below in Daniel 9:24-27 we see 70 literal future weeks or 490 days.

When the call/commandment goes out in Jerusalem to build unto the Jewish Meshiach/Messiah that they wait for (They Denied Jesus Christ) this will start the 7 week period.

62 literal weeks will be in building, and Meshiach/Messiah will be cut off by the Antichrist who stops the building.

The 70th literal week will see the antichrist revealed in making a covenant, and in the middle of this literal week he proclaims to be Meshiach/Messiah God to the Jews, and Jesus returned to the apostate church, to start a Millennium on earth.

The 3.5 year tribulation has started.

Daniel 9:24-27KJV
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.
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.
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.
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.

Start with Jesus' birth and then work back to the announcement to rebuild Jerusalem. It's within the 490 years timeframe.

You are overlooking a critical distinction between what Daniel wrote when simply recording events, and what he wrote when recording a direct word from the Lord. The 70 weeks are in the latter category, so whatever Daniel wrote as a historiographer becomes irrelevant.

The 70 weeks began with Artaxerxes' decree to rebuild Jerusalem, and are completed soon after Jesus' death. There is no gap, btw.

Were it literally 490 days, you'd have to account for the fulfillment of the prophesied events within Daniel's lifetime.

And, watch your attitude. There's no need to be snarky with me just because I don't agree with you. I simply explained your error with reference to Scripture.

True, but Messiah the Prince has come. You are postulating some future event and ignoring the blatant truth that He has already come.

Because you are disagreeing with the standard interpretation, the onus is on you to explain every aspect of the passage in a way that is consistent with your view. You have a long way to go to accomplish that. Speculating on supposed future events doesn't accomplish that.

Utterly ridiculous! Interpreting it as being literal days does not fit the time-line criteria.

According to your interpretation above, you would have the Anointed One cut off about a year and a half after Nehemiah and the Israelites restored and rebuilt Jerusalem.

Completely unfounded, lacking any semblance of exegesis.

The prophesy of Daniel started with the command from Artaxerxes to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. The rebuilding took place during the first 62 weeks of the prophecy or 434 years. To accomplish this with primitive tools would be impossible. The decree of Artaxerxes has everything to do with the prophecy because at that moment the 70 weeks of years began. Even it was only the actual 70 weeks it still starts with his command.

It's found "Nowhere"
