AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 9:25 "So you are to know and understand that from the issuance of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until [the coming of] the Messiah (the Anointed One), the Prince, there will be seven weeks [of years] and sixty-two weeks [of years]; it will be built again, with [a city] plaza and moat, even in times of trouble. |
Bible Question (short): Why 62 and 7 for total of 69 weeks? |
Question (full): In Daniel Chapter 9, 69 weeks of the 70 week prophecy are broken down as 62 weeks and 7 weeks and one week to make up the 70 weeks. I understand the order of events to fulfill the prophecy and understand the last week is the 7 year tribulation but I am confused on why the first 69 weeks are broken down as 62 weeks and 7 weeks. Can anyone answer this? Chusarcik |
