Well, this prophecy was written something like 500 years before Jesus. To
"work" the interpretation a week has to equal seven years.
Jim is referring to Daniel 9:24-27. I've recently been doing some historical
research on the time in which these "seventy weeks" began to run. The
starting point, or "terminus a quo," of Daniel's "Seventy Weeks" prophecy has
long been a matter of some debate, as has the proper understanding of much of
its contents. I think I've uncovered some information which may go a long way
in settling this matter. If this prophecy is of particular interest of anyone
here, and you wish to discuss it, feel free to E mail me.
