In the Book of Daniel, God decreed 70 weeks from the command
to restore and to build Jerusalem until the end of this age (see Daniel 9:24-27). The word “weeks" in the Hebrew means a week of years (1 week = 7 years). The first 69 weeks started when Nehemiah
received the command from Artaxerxes, king of Persia, to rebuild Jerusalem (see
Nehemiah 2:5-11) and ended some time before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (around
33 A.D.). This leaves the 70th
Week of Daniel, a 7 year period, to take place in the future. God put a gap of time (from 33 A.D. to the
present) between the 69th and 70th Weeks of Daniel. That gap of time is for the salvation of the
Gentiles (see Romans 11:11-32).
According to the Book of Daniel, the 70th week will begin
with the signing of a peace treaty between Israel and the world dictator, the Antichrist
(see Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4).

Daniel. It is a prophecy of symbolically
real people, places, and events that will happen in the near future.
