This concerns 70 weeks of YEARS (70 7's in the Hebrew), of Gods dealing with the nation of Israel, to fully restore them again at their position of a Priest nation unto all the worlds nations, and at the end of which, their Messiah will come and be anointed King. See Daniel 9:24 The Jews were already prophesied to be in captivity for 70 years, before they were returned to the land of Israel (think restored). This turned out to be a type foreshadowing of a greater plan, which is the concern of this prophecy. 70 weeks of YEARS, or 490 years for God to Finish the work of restoring the Jewish People to their position of favour with God that they've fallen from, culminating at the end of the 490 years with the crowning of their Messiah as King. These 490 years were to start counting down from the year were to start at the issuing forth of the commandment by a Gentile King that the Jewish people were to go back to their land in Palestine and rebuild it, and again inhabit the land. This proclamation was made by Cyrus King of Persia, and is mentioned in Ezra 1:1-4that the Jewish People were in subjection to. There is one week of those seventy weeks left to be fulfilled or seven years. This is because the Jewish leadership rejected the Messiah when he was presented to them 2000 years ago (Jesus Christ). Because of that, God stopped his clock, the church age ensued. However, soon in this generation that Israel was again reinstated as a nation (1948), the church age will end. Then God will complete the final seven years of this 490 year plan, dealing with Israel. This will be a seven year period known as the Tribulation, or the time of Jacob's trouble. At the end of which, the Messiah will return to earth (Jesus Christ) as the conquering king, saving his people from destruction from the armies of the Antichrist He will then establish His throne in Jerusalem, and reign as Lord and King over the whole Earth.
