NASB | Daniel 9:24 ¶ "Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 9:24 ¶ "Seventy weeks [of years, or 490 years] have been decreed for your people and for your holy city (Jerusalem), to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make atonement (reconciliation) for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness (right-standing with God), to seal up vision and prophecy and prophet, and to anoint the Most Holy Place. |
Bible Question: Can we make any sense out of Daniel's prophecy of Seventy Weeks? |
Bible Answer: The following may not be the answer you're looking for, but I don't know how else to adequately answer your question without quoting 300 pages on the subject. . . . The short answer to your question is yes, we can make sense out of Daniel's prophecy of Seventy Weeks -- but not in 70 words or less. There are some excellent study Bibles and Christian books out there that give an accurate, reliable interpretation of the Book of Daniel. And then, of course, there are the usual works of sensationalism and teachers of false doctrine (many of them on the bestseller lists) to beware of. I would like to recommend a few excellent study Bibles, published by reputable publishers and written or edited by qualified teachers of the Bible whose teaching is in the mainstream of the historic Christian faith. . . . Of course any list will have its critics and detractors. I am not a Bible scholar. What I am is a lifelong student of the Bible. My top recommendations, in alphabetical order, are: . . . The MacArthur Study Bible ( Word Publishing, edited by John MacArthur) . . . NASB Study Bible (Zondervan) . . . NIV Study Bible (Zondervan) . . . The Ryrie Study Bible (Moody Press, edited by Charles Caldwell Ryrie) This list is by no means comprehensive. It is based upon my personal study of the Bible for over 30 years. My sincere apologies to whoever may be offended by the omission from this list of their favorite study Bible. |
