NASB | Daniel 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks [of years] the Anointed One will be cut off [and denied His Messianic kingdom] and have nothing [and no one to defend Him], and the people of the [other] prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. [Is 53:7-9; Nah 1:8; Matt 24:6-14] |
Bible Question (short): Why the confusion over the 70th week? |
Question (full): Why do people say the 70th week of years do not follow the 7 and the 62 (total 69)weeks? Doesn't Daniel 9:26,27 refer to the Messiah being cut-off and thus the need for sacrifices according to the Mosaic law ceasing? If the 62 follow the 7, it's only logical that the last of the 70 follows the 69. Each of the first two prophetic periods allowed the reader to discern when something would happen - why not the third, especially since it is the greatest of the three! |
