What were Daniel's 70 weeks determined to accomplish?

Daniel's 70 weeks (490 years) were determined to finish transgression, make an end of sin, make reconciliation for iniquity, and bring in everlasting righteousness. These were satisfied at the first advent through Christ's crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, with the kingdom to follow.

Les explains that Daniel's 70 weeks—490 years—were determined to finish the transgression, make an end of sin, make reconciliation for iniquity, and bring in everlasting righteousness. He notes these were satisfied at the first advent through Christ's crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. The everlasting righteousness points to the kingdom. Les emphasizes that all Old Testament prophecies concerning Israel run continuously through this 490-year timeline, and that Israel, if obedient, could have been a nation of priests to bring Gentiles to God, as promised in Exodus 19.

Daniel 9

What does Daniel 9 say about the 490 years?

Daniel 9 states that 490 years are determined upon Daniel's people Israel. This prophecy leads up to the crucifixion and provides the basis for the idea of a seven-year tribulation. It was prophecy concerning Israel, and the Old Testament does not connect it to the Church, which is His Body.
