“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.”
"Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place"—prophesying a period (typically interpreted as 490 years, though debated) during which God will accomplish the ultimate restoration including removal of sin, inauguration of eternal righteousness, and fulfillment of prophetic promises. The six objectives enumerate the comprehensive spiritual restoration that God purposes to achieve. This verse provides the theological framework interpreting the entire seventy-weeks prophecy as directed toward redemptive completion.
