STUDY NOTES
DANIEL 9:24
BIBLE TEACHER: CLIFTON JONES
GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY REVEALED
INTRODUCTION
The angel Gabriel was sent to give Daniel the answer to his prayer, Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are
determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an
end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Daniel was praying for his people Israel and the city of Jerusalem
Daniel was given a vision of the future of Israel and the city of Jerusalem
God determined a future time-period of “seventy weeks” for Israel
The Hebrew word for “weeks” refers to a collection of 7 things
Just as the English word “dozen” refers to a collection of 12 things
So, it literally reads “seventy sevens,” a time-period of 70 x7, which equals 490
The context of scripture only allows the time-period to represent years
Gabriel told Daniel that God had determined a time-period of 490 years upon Israel
The “seventy sevens” are divided into three groups or three periods
Seven sevens or 49 years; 62 sevens or 434 years; and a final 7-year period
The first two periods added together are 483 years and have literally been fulfilled (vs.
25)
There is a time gap between the fulfilled 483 years and the final seven years (vs.
26)
The final 7-year period is yet to come, and it will literally be fulfilled (vs.
27)
An important question is, “why was Daniel praying for his people?”
He knew that because of their disobedience unto God, his people were in captivity
He also knew how long the Babylonian captivity would last, Jer 25:11 And this whole land shall
be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy
years.
Daniel realized that the seventy years of Babylonian captivity was almost over
What was God going to now do with the nation of Israel?
Israel continually looked for the coming of Messiah to establish the Kingdom for them
Could it now be time for the Kingdom to be established?
God revealed that “seventy sevens” of years (490 years) had been determined “upon thy people”
Upon the people that Daniel was praying for, God’s covenant people, the nation of Israel
God cut off 490 years of time to accomplish His future-plan for Israel
The 490-year period identifies the future of Daniel’s people and their city, Jerusalem
Keep in mind that they are the people and the city that Daniel was praying for (Important point)
490 years, which will have to be completed before the Kingdom would be established
God reveals six distinct purposes of the 490-year period known as “Daniel’s 70 Weeks”
So-called because they are revealed to Daniel through the angel Gabriel (vs.
24)
The first three are negative, and the last three are positive
None of which could be fulfilled apart from the first coming of Jesus
All of which cannot be ultimately fulfilled until the return of Christ
The fulfillment of each one requires the first and second coming of Jesus Christ
The ultimate fulfillment of each one requires the events within the “70 th Week of Daniel”
The final 7 years of the 490 years determined upon Israel must literally take place

TO FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION (Daniel 9:24)
The context is “the transgression” of Israel, God’s chosen people
Referring to the rebellion of Israel against God’s law and God’s commandments
Israel’s willful rebellion against divine authority, against God and His Word
The very thing that led them into captivity was Israel’s rebellion against the Lord
They did not do what God told them to do, and they did what God told them not to do
Even after the end of their captivity they did not repent and become obedient to the Lord
The meaning of “To finish” is to bring a process to completion or consummation
“To finish” means to bring something to an end, to complete or terminate
That which is to be brought-to an end is “the transgression,” a specific transgression
“The transgression,” refers to the national transgression of Israel, their unbelief
Israel’s specific transgression that will be brought-to an end is their rejection of the Messiah
The nation of Israel continues to reject Jesus as the Messiah, they are still looking for the Messiah
Israel’s acceptance of Jesus as their Messiah is still in the future for the Jews
As a result of the 70th week of Daniel and the return of Christ, Israel will accept the truth of,
Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he
was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own
way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Jews will accept that “our” and “we” includes “us all,” especially God’s chosen nation Israel
The rebellion of Israel will not end until the end of the 490-year prophetic time-period
At which time Israel will repent and turn to Jesus Christ as their Messiah
Israel will then be saved and restored to her land as-a result of the cross of Jesus, Isa 53:7
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to
the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isa 53:8
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?
for he was
cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
“My people” first-of all refers to God’s covenant people Israel
But also includes all Jews and Gentiles who accept Jesus as Savior under God’s “New Covenant”
The first coming of Jesus provided atonement for the sins of the world, for Jew and Gentile
God promised to make a New Covenant with Israel someday (Jeremiah 31:31-40)
Which came through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, Luk 22:20 Likewise also the cup after
supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
God is calling Jew and Gentile unto eternal life through the “New Covenant,” Heb 9:15 And for this
cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.
God is currently calling out a people through the salvation of Jews and Gentiles
Individual Jews and Gentiles are being saved and united together in the body of Christ, the church
God’s covenant promises to Israel will be fulfilled as a-result of the “New Covenant”
The present unbelief of Israel and the individual Jews salvation is a “mystery” now revealed,
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in
your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come
in.
The time of the Gentiles is the time of Gentile oppression and persecution of Israel
Which began with the Babylonian captivity of Israel and continues until the end of the 70 th Week
The “fulness of the Gentiles” will be Israel’s persecution by the Antichrist during the 70th week
When the fulness of the Gentiles has come in, God will deal with the nation of Israel once again
