Daniel and the Seventy Weeks

There is a wonderfully written and detailed article that describes the 70 weeks prophecy and I agree with it.

In summation, the seventy sevens unfold as follows

                 587 B.C. ("Issuing the Word to restore & rebuild Jerusalem")
                 -49 years ("seven sevens")
                 538 B.C. ("an anointed one, a prince"; Cyrus)

                (gap of unspecified duration)

                 440 B.C. ("street and moat return in time of distress")
                -434 years ("sixty-two sevens")
                 6 B.C. (birth of "Messiah," Jesus Christ)

                (gap of unspecified duration)


Events specified ("after the sixty-two sevens"):

        1) Crucifixion of Messiah

        2) Destruction of Jerusalem "until the end"

                 ?? A.D. ("covenant prevailing" with Israel)
                +3½ years ("the half of the seven")
                 ?? A.D. ("abomination of desolation")
                +3½ years
                 ?? A.D. ("the end"; return of Christ; judgment upon
                         "the coming prince")
