Daniel 9:24-27 (New International Version)

 ²⁴ "Seventy 'sevens' ^[a] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish ^[b] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. ^[c]

 ²⁵ "Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree ^[d] to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, ^[e] the ruler, comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. ²⁶ After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing. ^[f] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. ²⁷ He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' ^[g] In the middle of the 'seven' ^[h] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. ^[i] " ^[j]
