Daniel 9 is the best of the best.

Daniel 9:24 “Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people

and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.”

Context (Dan 9:2): Daniel’s exile in Babylon is coming to an end, so what’s the future of Israel?

"Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city …” (Dan 9:24)

Context: Two 490 Year Periods

“So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince comes,there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ (Daniel 9:25)

Step 1: Calculate the Years.

From the issuingof a decree to rebuild Jerusalem

Until the Messiah

will be...

7 sevens and 62 sevens7 X 7 = 49yrs. 62 X 7 = 434 yrs.

49 + 434 = 483 years

Step 2: Convert to Solar Years

From the issuingof a decree to rebuild Jerusalem

Until the Messiah

will be...

7 sevens and 62 sevens7 X 7 = 49yrs. 62 X 7 = 434 yrs.

49 + 434 = 483 years

Convert Hebrew Lunar years to our Solar years

Lunar years = 360 days each483 years = 173,880 lunar year days / 365¼ (S.L.D.) = 476.06 Solar Years

Or, 476 of our Solar years

Luke 19:37

Luke 19:41 And when He approached, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.”

Luke 19:43 "For the days shall come upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank before you, and surround you, and hem you in on every side, 44 and will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
