The "Seventy Sevens" (Daniel 9:24) in Light of Heptadic Themes in Qumran

The "Seventy Sevens" (Daniel 9:24) in Light of Heptadic Themes in Qumran

  • Semi-Technical
  • Ron Haydon

What is the meaning and function of the reference to the "seventy sevens" to which Daniel 9:24 refers? This study reads the text in the light of a number of Qumran sources. It concludes that these sources refer to the "seventy sevens" as primarily theological expressions rather than a temporal marker.

Is there any reason that a righteous God ought to be loving toward a creature who hates Him and rebels constantly against His divine authority and holiness? R. C. Sproul
