"Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people & 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 * to anoint the most holy.”
"Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem Until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, There will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty -two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.”
After All This: The Seed of Woman The Promised Nation The Chosen People The Tribe of Judah The God Given Law The Promised Land The Royal Family Line Kings & Kingdoms (Israel & Gentile) The Creator, King, Priest, Savior, Redeemer will now break the curse!
Breakdown of Verse 25 “From the issuing of the decree… until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes…” Gabriel gave a starting point ( from ) and a stopping point ( until ). He also gave the time between these two events there will be 7 ‘sevens,’ and 62 ‘sevens.’ 7 + 62 = 69 (1 ‘seven’ short of the 70). 69 weeks of years (69 x 7 years) is 483 years; 7 years short of the 490.

Matthew 21:1-5 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet: “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
Luke 19:37-38 “ When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: ‘ Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!’ ”

Daniel 5 The Writing on the Wall & The Fall of Babylon • Daniel shows Isaiah 44-45 to King Cyrus • ‘ Cyrus ’ written 150 years before he was born • He makes provision for the Temple to be rebuilt & frees the captives from Babylon
• History of Israel continues • God’s fulfilment of His promise to keep David’s descendants alive • Ezra (most likely) wrote & assembled Ezra, Nehemiah & Chronicles • Rebuilds the Temple, but not the city wall
• History of Israel continues • Nehemiah portrays the Messianic ministry of ‘ Restoration ’ • Everything in Jerusalem is restored – except the King • The Messianic line is intact, but the King has yet to come
• History of Israel continues • Esther occurs between Ezra & Nehemiah • Haman almost exterminates all Jews • That ‘ole devil ! • Esther risks her life to intervene • Haman – a result of Saul’s failure • Mordechai – a result of David’s grace • Many hidden ‘codes’ of authentication • Esther means ‘something hidden’
• 1 st of the 4 Major Prophets • Quoted in the NT more than any prophet • The most clear & explicit Messianic prophecies • Vision of the Throne of God - chapter 6 • The virgin shall conceive - 7:14 • His name (the child) shall be ‘Mighty God’ - 9:6 • The fall of Lucifer - chapter 14 • Jesus quotes chapter 61… but not all of it
The Concept of Two Isaiahs ? Jesus destroys this false teaching in John 12:38-41 By quoting from chapters 6 & 53 66 chapters 1 st 39 Chapters: Last 27 Chapters: Judah The Suffering Servant Messiah Israel The Return of the King The Nations The Millennial Kingdom Jerusalem 66 books
Isaiah 52:13 – 53:12: The Suffering Servant Prophecy Written 700 years The John 3:16 before Jesus of the Old Testament See, my servant will act wisely ; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him -- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
