I need a good explanation of the "70 week prophecy" by Daniel?

Question

I understand that is one of the most accurate predictions in the Bible- (links or articles), Thanks

Answer 1

The 70 week prophecy speaks of the coming of the Messiah.
The Temple in Jerusalem along with Jerusalem itself had been destroyed by an invading army, the Persians, and God said that 483 years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem would be given, the Messiah, or the anointed one, would come and die for the sins of Israel after being "cut off" or killed.
It is thought that this decree was given in around 444 BC.
It also states that there would be a cut off of sacrifices half-way through a week period. One week in the Bible is seven years, so 3 and a half years into the Messiah's ministry, the sacrifices would be cut off and no longer valid as a result of the Messiah's death, which happened because the Temple veil split and the Temple itself was damaged during the earthquake that happened after Jesus died on the cross and forty years after the crucifixion, the Temple was destroyed by the Romans. 3 and a half more years would be given to Israel to repent, completed the total of 490 years that God gave Israel to repent for sins.

Answer 2

its garbage biased on nothing

Christian commentators prefer to start the Seventy Weeks countdown with 444 or 445 B.C.E. because it brings their calculations closer to the time period in which Jesus died (30/33 C.E.). A far better starting date is the decree of Cyrus (537 B.C.E) upon which all subsequent grants of approval were based (Isaiah 44:28). A correct reading of the passage and some simple arithmetic dispels any attempt to claim 444 B.C.E. as a starting date and Jesus' death in 30/33 C.E. as a terminus.

First, the seven weeks and the sixty-two weeks are really two separate periods and speak of two separate "anointed" ones. Second, even if we were to count 483 years from 444 B.C.E. we get to the year 38 C.E. Jesus is crucified in the period ranging from 30 to 33 C.E. But, the text of Daniel 9:26 says, "And after the sixty-two weeks an anointed one shall be cut off." This shows that if we use 444 B.C.E. as a starting date the alleged second "anointed one" was "cut off" in the period following the year 38 C.E. (that is, "after the sixty-two weeks"). There would be no connection to anyone "cut off" prior to that year. Thus, there is no reference here to Jesus.
