Interpretive considerations: ● The 70 "weeks" are not actual weeks, but 70 units of seven years. ● The 70 weeks are subdivided: 7 weeks, 62 weeks and 1 week. ● There are two princes in the passage. ● The interpretation of the 70 weeks hinges on the question of a prophetic gap.
1. The end of 70 weeks will mark: a. The end of transgression, the end of sin b. Reconciliation for iniquity c. Everlasting righteousness d. Completion of prophecy e. The anointing of the Most Holy places.
