The Meaning of 70 Is 490.

The most famous is in jeremiah chapter 25, which suggests babylonian world domination for a 70 year period. In the second pre christian century, under the persecution of antiochus, the fourth epiphanus, and it seemd like jeremiah's prophecy had not been fulfilled. So through this reveltory interpretation, through thiso the angel gabriel, jeremiah is given a 420 year extension. This type of revelatory interpretation is very important in this period. We see t a large number of books, which are called apocalyptic books where these intermediaries explaind the divine will to people.
