5 th Meeting Daniel chapter 9 and Revelation chapter 6

First year of Darius son of Xerxes, this would make the year around 539/538 B.C. sixty-seven years after Daniel had been taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel would have been around 87 years old if he was 20 years when he was taken. Daniel was reading Jeremiah 25, and noticed verses 11 & 12; talking about the Babylon king being punished. This had already taken place since Darius was the new king over Babylon, and he was not from Babylon, but was a Mede. Daniel chapter 5 gives you the details of this. Jeremiah 25:12 talks about the 70 years being fulfilled God would punish Babylon for its sins. Daniel knows that the time is about up for Israel to be relieved of this punishment. Daniel starts to fast and pray asking for God's mercy for Israel. Daniel 9:4 - 19, is a very good model for intercessory prayer. If you are wanting spiritual revival in the United States, you might want to model this prayer. You notice that Daniel takes responsibility for all of the sins committed against God by Israel, even ones he is not guilty of committing. Sometimes we think that we are only guilty of the sins we actually commit, but we are part of a nation and as such have a portion of guilt by association. This is a very good model for prayer to confess sins your nation has committed acknowledging the fact that we deserve punishment; and asking that the Lord be merciful to us by forgiving our sins.

While Daniel was praying Gabriel the angel appeared and instructed Daniel about the time of the evening sacrifice. In Jerusalem this would be somewhere around 3 - 5 pm in the afternoon.

Gabriel tells Daniel about seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish 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. Daniel 9:24 NIV.

Gabriel goes on to tell Daniel that there will be from when the decree comes to rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One (Jesus) comes. There will be 7x7 + 62 = 69. Prophetic years are measured in 360 days. After the 62 sevens the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing.
The first group of sevens - 7 x 7 = 49 years, this has to do with the rebuilding of Jerusalem, not just the Temple. The Temple does not have streets or a trench. You can find more on this in the Books of Ezra (rebuilding the Temple) and Nehemiah rebuilding the city of Jerusalem's walls.
That leaves us 62 weeks multiplied by 7 or 434 years to be accounted for. This would bring us up to the point of Jesus Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Jesus on that day presented himself to the Jewish Leaders and the people as their Messiah. They rejected Him and had Him killed less than a week later, fulfilling the prophecy that the Anointed One would be cut off and have nothing. Jesus was put into a grave owned by a friend, showing He had nothing.

This brings us half way through verse 26; the rest of that verse does not seem to match the picture we have from history. Since Bible Prophecy is 100% accurate and this looks like a contradiction, the Bible is never wrong so the only other answer that makes sense is that the rest of Daniel chapter 9 verse 26 will take place at some other time. Or left unfulfilled at this time.
Verse 27 states that he will; confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven'. The he described here is the anti-christ, but which one? Since the term of time is one 'seven' this coincides with the anti-christ of the 4th Kingdom, whom we are still looking and waiting for. This seems to prove that verse 26b is also of that time period. Daniel makes very clear that he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, on the wing of the temple, until the time of the end that is decreed is poured out on him. Daniel 9: 27 & 28 NIV.
