    The Seventy Weeks to Messiah

    The ninth chapter tells of the angel coming to Daniel, in response to his petition, to give him skill and understanding. He informed him of a period of seventy weeks. Sixty-nine of these weeks of years [that, we are told, is the meaning of the word shevooim, rendered “weeks”] would extend to the Messiah. The point from which the period was to begin, “the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem,” had not yet been given. The question arises, How could Daniel know where the sixty-nine weeks would end? In the twelfth chapter the time question is again considered, and to his inquiry, “What shall be the end of these things?” he is told to go his way, for the words are “closed up and sealed to the time of the end,” when the “wise shall understand.”GSAM 55.2

    Undoubtedly this time question is one of the instances the apostle Paul alludes to when he says, “Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.” 641 Peter 1:10, 11.GSAM 55.3
