26;
26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler
who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War
will continue until the end, and
desolations have been decreed. (8)
138
27 He
will confirm a covenant with many for
One ‘Seven.’In the middle of the ‘Seven’
he will put an end to sacrifice
and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that
causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” (9)
369
18 Give ear, our God, and hear; open Your eyes and see
the desolation of the city that bears Your Name. We do not make requests of You because we are righteous, but because of Your Great Mercy. (9)
19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For
Your sake, my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your Name.”
The Seventy
“Sevens”
20 While I was
speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and
making my request to the Lord my God for His Holy Hill—
258
9 The Lord our God is Merciful and Forgiving, even though we have rebelled against Him;
(9)
10 we have not obeyed
the Lord
our God
or kept the laws He
gave us
through His servants the
prophets.
11 All Israel has transgressed Your law and
turned away, refusing to obey You. “Therefore the curses and
sworn judgments written
in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured
out on us, because we have sinned
against You.
258
24 “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 Place. (6)
25 “Know
and understand this: From the time the Word
goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’
and sixty-two ‘sevens.’
It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. (7)
147
15 “Now,
Lord our God, who brought Your people out of Egypt with a Mighty hand
and who made for Yourself a name that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong.
(6)
16 Lord, in keeping with
all Your righteous acts, turn away Your anger and Your wrath from Jerusalem, Your City, Your Holy Hill. Our sins and the iniquities of
our ancestors have made Jerusalem and Your people an object of scorn to all those around us.
17 “Now, our God, hear the prayers
and petitions of Your servant. For Your sake, Lord, look with favor
on Your desolate sanctuary.
138
6 We
have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in
Your name to our kings, our princes
and our ancestors, and to all the people of the land. (6)
7 “Lord, You are Righteous, but this day we
are covered with shame—the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and
all Israel, both near and far, in all the
countries where You
have scattered us because of our unfaithfulness to You.
8 We and our kings,
our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned
against You.
138
21 while
I was still in prayer,
Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in
swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. (3)
22 He instructed me and
said to me, “Daniel, I have
now come to give you insight and understanding.
23 As soon as you
began to pray, a Word went out, which I
have come to tell you, for
you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the Word and understand the vision:
258
12 You
have fulfilled the Words spoken
against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great
disaster. Under the whole heaven
nothing has ever
been done like what has been done to
Jerusalem. (3)
13 Just as it is written in the Law
of Moses,
all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord
our God
by turning from our sins and giving attention to Your truth.
14 The Lord did not hesitate to bring the
disaster on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in
everything He does; yet we have not obeyed Him.
258
Daniel’s Prayer
9 In the first year of Darius son of
Xerxes (a Mede by descent), who was made ruler over the Babylonian kingdom—
2 in the first year of his reign, I,
Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the Word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that
the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.
(exile for 70 years, from 457 BC until 34 AD; Jesus returned to
heaven, and sat right hand of God the Father.)
3 So
I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with Him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes. (3)
4 I prayed to the Lord
my God
and confessed: “Lord, the great
and awesome God, who keeps His
covenant of love with those who
love Him and keep His commandments,
5 we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from Your
commands and laws.
