Introduction: Who’s in Control?


  1. The Consequences of Daniel’s Prayer (20-23)




  1. Daniel’s 3rd Vision (24)

6 Purposes of the Weeks




  1. The Finishing of Transgression

  2. To put an End to Sin

  3. To Atone for Wickedness

  4. To bring Everlasting Righteousness

  5. To Seal up Vision and Prophecy

  6. To Anoint the Most Holy Place




  1. The Vision of Weeks Explained (25-27)


Deciphering the 70 Weeks???
70 weeks = 70 x 7 years (490 years)

7 x 7 = 49 years; 62 x 7 = 434 years; 1 x 7 = 7 years




  1. Most Figurative

7 x 7 = 539/38 B.C. (Cyrus’ decree)  Jesus’ 1st advent (0 A.D.)

62 x 7 = Christ’s ministry  the Present (age of the church)

Final 7 = Tribulation period prior to Christ’s second coming


  1. Less Figurative

7 x 7 = 539/38 B.C.  Ezra & Nehemiah (450 – 400 B.C.)

62 x 7 = Ezra & Nehemiah  Jesus’ 1st advent (0 A.D.)

Final 7 = Jesus’ life  Fall of Jerusalem (0 – 70 A.D.)

* Some may also see the final 7 (a literal week) as the final week of Jesus




  1. Somewhat Literal

7 x 7 = 70 years of Jeremiah (Jr. 25:11-12 [605 – 538 or 586 – 521 B.C.])

62 x 7 = End of exile  Persecution under Antiochus IV (170 B.C.)

Final 7 = 7 years of persecution (170 - 163 B.C.)

** 3 1/2 years of no sacrifice



  1. Most Literal

7 x 7 = Ezra & Nehemiah (458 – 409 or 445 – 396 B.C.)

62 x 7 = Ezra & Nehemiah  Jesus baptism/Palm Sunday (30 A.D.)

Final 7 = 7 year tribulation period prior to Christ’s second coming

*** “The ‘prophetic clock’ stops ticking during the church age”


Which Timeline is Right???
Making Sense of the Mysterious Numbers?
4:25 – Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to anyone he wishes.
7:25 – He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.
8:13-14 – How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled..? He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”
9:6-12 - How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled..? It will be for a time, times and half a time… There will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.’ ”
5:26 “Here is what these words mean: Mene =

God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.”



Conclusion: He’s got the Whole World in His Hands!
In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.”

Daniel 7:13-14


“…Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know...? Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst from the womb… when I said, ‘This far you may come and no further; here is where your proud waves halt?’ ”

Job 38:1-15
