Together the six describe God’s whole program to bring Israel into all the blessings promised in the covenants. These final three things will only be fulfilled by Christ when He comes again and establishes the Kingdom on earth. (6) To anoint the Most Holy” (the establishing and anointing of the Millennial Temple for the Messianic Kingdom - Ezekiel 41-46). This will only be true in the Millennium). (5) To seal up vision and prophecy (to bring all old Testament prophecy to fulfilment. (4) To bring in everlasting righteousness (or ‘the age of righteousness’) On the basis of Christ’s death God can establish the Millennial Kingdom: These first three were fulfilled by Christ when He died on the Cross, bearing the judgement for our sins, laying the basis for us to be part of His Kingdom. As Christ declared: “it is finished - the price is paid in full”, He was claiming the fulfilment of this first stage towards establishing the Kingdom. (3) To make reconciliation (atonement) for iniquity.” Before the Kingdom can be established the issue of sin had to be dealt with and provision for man’s righteousness made through the New Covenant: The first three have to do with sin, the second three with the Kingdom. "70 Weeks (Sevens) are determined (cut, marked and divided off) for your people (Israel) and for your holy city(Jerusalem).” Now God gives six things that will be accomplished by the end of this time. Moreover the last Week is divided into two, and the second half is three and a half years (Daniel 7:25, 12:7 Revelation 11:2,3). If days had been intended it would be so expressed, as in Daniel 10:3 which literally says ‘three whole weeks of days’. From the context it is generally accepted that Daniel’s 70 Weeks are Weeks of years and so refer to 70 Sevens of years or 490 years. It can mean a week of days or a week of years. God’s answer gives a prophecy giving the timing of the restoration in terms of ‘Weeks’. Israel was in dispersion in Babylon and Daniel was praying about the restoration of Israel - her people from sin and her city from desolation (Daniel 9).
