Seventy Sevens
Dan. 9:2 "In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word
of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem."
Dan. 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city..."
The term translated "weeks" means "heptad" or group of seven. With Jeremiah's prophesy of seventy years in
mind, we conclude Daniel spoke of seventy sevens of years. Seventy sevens (weeks) of years equals 490 years.
