Daniel 9:24-26

New Living Translation

²⁴ “A period of seventy sets of seven^[a] has been decreed for your people and your holy city to finish their rebellion, to put an end to their sin, to atone for their guilt, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to confirm the prophetic vision, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.^{[b] 25} Now listen and understand! Seven sets of seven plus sixty-two sets of seven^[c] will pass from the time the command is given to rebuild Jerusalem until a ruler—the Anointed One^[d]—comes. Jerusalem will be rebuilt with streets and strong defenses,^[e] despite the perilous times.

²⁶ “After this period of sixty-two sets of seven,^[f] the Anointed One will be killed, appearing to have accomplished nothing, and a ruler will arise whose armies will destroy the city and the Temple. The end will come with a flood, and war and its miseries are decreed from that time to the very end.
