Seventy weeks
Here’s what it means
A divinely determined period is decreed for Daniel’s people and holy city leading to major redemptive and judgment events.
Why the Bible says it this way
The writer uses vivid or unusual wording to make the point clear and memorable.
A helpful detail: The passage is prophetic and numerically structured, but responsible interpreters differ on some chronology. It is listed for caution, not treated as a free allegory.
