No, 70 weeks isn't how long it's been since I've posted here, though it may seem that way. I'm actually referring to the prophecy of the 70 weeks in Daniel 9.

For quite some time, I've been making an effort to read through the entire Bible, and last month found me in the book of Daniel - chapter 9 - reading the amazing prophecy Daniel gives concerning the 70 "weeks."

To me, this prophecy puts to shame those who claim Biblical prophecies are "vague and indistinct." Let me explain:

When Gabriel appeared to Daniel, he said "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
And after threescore and two weeks [assuming that the previous 7 "weeks" have already passed] shall Messiah be cut off [i.e. crucified]..." (Daniel 9:25, 26)

NOTE:
It is important that we understand that the word "weeks" in these particular verses comes from the Hebrew word "shabua", which can refer to any period of seven: seven days, seven months, seven years, etc. In this context, each individual week representing a period of 7 years seems to be the most likely explanation.

Basically, what Gabriel is saying is that 69 weeks, or 483 years (7 years x's 69), would pass from the time Jerusalem was commanded to be rebuilt (see Nehemiah 2:1-8) until the Messiah was "cut off", or crucified. Now get this: Sir Robert Anderson once calculated the end of the 69'th week to fall on Palm Sunday, just before the Lord's crucifixion! Amazing, huh? I thought so.

By the way, if you're still wondering about the other remaining "week", it is left unexplained in the book of Daniel, and very possibly refers to the Tribulation, which will last 7 years.
