Show Notes

In Daniel chapter 9, the aging prophet turns to God in fervent prayer, and confession, on behalf of his people. Acknowledging their sins and God's righteousness, Daniel pleads for mercy and the restoration of Jerusalem. While still praying, Gabriel, the angel, appears to Daniel, offering insight and prophecy. 

 

Gabriel introduces the seventy weeks, a divinely determined period for finishing transgression, putting an end to sin, atoning for wickedness, bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing up vision and prophecy, and anointing the most holy place. The prophecy outlines a timeline from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem to the coming of the Anointed One, who will be cut off, and the eventual destruction of the city and the sanctuary. This vision, stretching from the near future of Daniel's time into the time of Jesus, encapsulates God's plan for His people and the world.
