The Bible is a dangerous and exciting book. When I was on the Romanian border during the communist era, I was asked “Do you have guns, drugs, pornography, bibles?” The Bible was considered a dangerous book, because it caused people to submit to a higher power and break free from the lies of communist propaganda.

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105).

Daniel’s Seventy Weeks

One of the more challenging passages of the Hebrew Scriptures to interpret and understand is Daniel 9:24-27, the prophecy of the ‘seventy weeks’ or ‘seventy sevens’. Sam Storms writes,

“One might well argue that Daniel 9:24-27 is both the most complex and the most crucial text in either testament bearing on the subject of biblical prophecy. Its complexity is questioned only by those who have not studied it, or perhaps by those whose conclusions concerning its meaning were predetermined by unspoken theological commitments.” [1]

There have been many different explanations of what it means. Montgomery, in his commentary on Daniel, referred to the history of the exegesis of the passage as “the dismal swamp of O.T. criticism”![2] The present article explains some of the issues and suggests a credible interpretation the passage.
