The Seventy Weeks of Daniel: (Daniel Ix) (Classic Reprint)

In a former number of The Prospect, (vol. ii. part 1,) a paper of mine appeared, entitled, The Cycle of Seventy Weeks, wherein I endeavoured to prove seventy weeks, or hepdomads of years, (namely, the half of a millenary), to be a great disjoensaiional cycle in reference to I srael, and also to the whole human race. In the course of the argument, I there spoke of the seventy weeks of Daniel, but without entering into the details of that prophecy, my subject leading me to dwell chiefly on one feature in it, namely, tlie tmnoticcd cancelled week of Messiah srejection. My present object is to offer a view of this prophecy itself, in its several parts, and as a whole. And here, let me add, that although much that I shall say has already appeared in The Companion to my Charts on the Seventy Weeks of Daniel, and the Cycle of Seventy Weeks, I have repeated it here; it being my object to bring some of the leading subjects therein, under the notice of the readers of The Prospect. Before I proceed, I will make a few observations on the state of the Jews, in connexion with the circumstances and the times of our prophet.
