Most of us are familiar with at least 69 of Daniel's 70 "sevens" - or "weeks" - finding miraculous fulfillment at the Cross.

Daniel 9:24-26: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.  25  Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.  26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

OLD TESTAMENT "LANGUAGE" OF PROPHECY

Most Christians apply the day-year language to at least 69 of Daniel's 70 "sevens" - as weeks - of days as years.  One of two methods used is a continuous 360 day year "prophetic" calendar to calculate these problems.  This language is suggested in the 5-month 150-day account of the flood in Genesis.  To adjust this 360 day calendar to our modern 365.24 day year of historical record, a multiplier of .9857 is used.  

Almost 100 years after Gabriel gave Daniel this prophecy a special decree was granted by Artaxerxes I to Nehemiah in 444-445 BC.  This is the only decree in the Bible that gave the Jews permission to restore Jerusalem and rebuild its walls.  Jesus, was 'cut off' or crucified in 32 or 33 AD.

Understanding these 69 "sevens" to be 69 weeks of days as years, results in 69 x 7, or 483 years.

Then 483 prophetic years x .9857 = 476 solar years.  Artaxerxes' decree in 444 BC + 476 years = 32 AD, the Cross.  Messiah "cut off".


Five of the six points were fulfilled at the Cross:  (1) finish transgression eternally, (2) make an end of sin,(John 1:29) (3) make reconciliation for iniquity, (4) bring in everlasting righteousness, and (6) anoint the Most holy with His own precious blood.  What about point (5) 'Seal up vision and prophecy'?

We were given 7 weeks and 62 weeks so the first 7 weeks are:
7 x 7 years = 49 solar years x .9857 = 48.3 prophetic years 444 BC - 48.3 = 395.7 BC
Old Testament Scripture to the Jews was 'sealed up'.
