NOTE

The Promise of Restoration and Timing of the Anointed One

The passage from Daniel 9 speaks about the restoration and rebuilding of Jerusalem until the arrival of the anointed ruler. It mentions a timeline of sevens and 62 sevens, highlighting the rebuilding of the city amidst troubles. It then foretells the death of the anointed one and the destruction of the city and sanctuary by the ruler's people. The war and desolations are decreed until the end. The chapter implies a delay in the restoration, stretching the 70 years to 70 weeks of years (490 years).

Jesus, by declaring 'the time is fulfilled,' seemingly connects with this promise after a long period of waiting and praying.
