1
In the first yeere of Darius the sonne of Ahasuerus, of the seede of the Medes, which was made King ouer the realme of the Caldeans,
2
In the first yeere of his reigne, I Daniel vnderstood by bookes the number of the yeeres, whereof the word of the Lord came to Ieremiah the Prophet, that he would accomplish seuentie yeeres in the desolations of Ierusalem.
3
¶ And I set my face vnto the Lord God to seeke by prayer, and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4
And I prayed vnto the Lord my God, and made my confession, and said; O Lord, the great and dreadfull God, keeping the couenant, and mercy to them that loue him, and to them that keepe his Commandements:
5
We haue sinned, and haue committed iniquitie, and haue done wickedly, and haue rebelled, euen by departing from thy precepts, and from thy iudgements.
6
Neither haue we hearkened vnto thy seruants the Prophets, which spake in thy Name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7
O Lord, righteousnes belongeth vnto thee, but vnto vs confusion of faces, as at this day: to the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and vnto all Israel that are neere, and that are farre off, through all the countreys whither thou hast driuen them, because of their trespasse, that they haue trespassed against thee.
8
O Lord, to vs belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers; because we haue sinned against thee.
9
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiuenesses, though we haue rebelled against him.
10
Neither haue we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walke in his Lawes which he set before vs, by his seruants the Prophets.
11
Yea, all Israel haue transgressed thy Law, euen by departing, that they might not obey thy voice, therefore the curse is powred vpon vs, and the othe that is written in the Law of Moses the seruant of God, because we haue sinned against him.
12
And he hath confirmed his words which he spake against vs, and against our Iudges that iudged vs, by bringing vpon vs a great euill: for vnder the whole heauen hath not bene done, as hath bene done vpon Ierusalem.
13
As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this euill is come vpon vs: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turne from our iniquities, and vnderstand thy trueth.
14
Therefore hath the Lord watched vpon the euil, and brought it vpon vs: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his workes, which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
15
And now O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renowne, as at this day, wee haue sinned, wee haue done wickedly.
16
¶ O Lord, according to all thy righteousnes, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy furie bee turned away from thy citie Ierusalem, thy holy Mountaine: because for our sinnes, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Ierusalem and thy people are become a reproch to all that are about vs.
17
Now therefore, O our God, heare the prayer of thy seruant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine vpon thy Sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lords sake.
18
O my God, encline thine eare and heare: open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, & the city, which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
19
O Lord heare, O Lord forgiue, O Lord hearken and doe: deferre not for thine owne sake, O my God: for thy citie, & thy people are called by thy Name.
20
¶ And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sinne, and the sinne of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God, for the holy Mountaine of my God:
21
Yea whiles I was speaking in praier, euen the man Gabriel, whom I had seene in the vision at the beginning, being caused to flie swiftly, touched me about the time of the euening oblation.
22
And he informed mee, and talked with mee, and said; O Daniel, I am now come foorth to giue thee skill and vnderstanding.
23
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandement came forth, and I am come to shew thee: for thou art greatly beloued: therefore vnderstand the matter, & consider the vision.
24
Seuentie weekes are determined vpon thy people, and vpon thy holy citie, to finish the transgression, and to make an ende of sinnes, and to make reconciliation for iniquitie, and to bring in euerlasting righteousnes, and to seale vp the vision and prophecie, and to anoynt the most Holy.
25
Know therefore and vnderstand, that from the going foorth of the commandement to restore and to build Ierusalem, vnto the Messiah the Prince, shall be seuen weekes; and threescore and two weekes, the street shall be built againe, and the wall, euen in troublous times.
26
And after threescore and two weekes, shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himselfe, and the people of the Prince that shall come, shall destroy the citie, and the Sanctuarie, and the ende thereof shall be with a flood, and vnto the ende of the warre desolations are determined.
27
And hee shall confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the midst of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of abominations hee shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation, & that determined, shalbe powred vpon the desolate.

Charles's Daniel Chapter 9 comment on 4/25/2013, 11:27am...
I don't understand how a prophecy of seventy weeks made in Daniel's time could possibly relate to Jesus, who was born about 200 years later!

A powerful prayer of confession based on the understanding of the scriptures.
Insight 777's Daniel Chapter 9 comment on 1/22/2013, 8:33pm...
"Consider the vision" is telling Daniel that this is a future end of time event. Verse 25, ..."to build the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." When Jesus returns and rebuilds Jerusalem that will not be in "Troublous" times. The war will be over and Jesus will already have flooded Jerusalem as the result of an earthquake at his arrival. Jesus will not be cut off at this time, the war is over! So, to build Jerusalem unto the "Messiah the Prince" cannot be building it for Jesus the Messiah. This must be for a false Messiah-Prince. Jerusalem will be bombed during the first part of World War 3. A new religious building dedicated to the false Messiah will be built in Jerusalem during the 2nd part of WW3. 26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself"; I believe this means that Christianity will be cut off but not the belief in Jesus. The false Messiah-Prince will accept Jesus but not as the Messiah. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. The covenant is the WW3 peace treaty that takes a week to draw up. During the midst of the week of negotiations, Christianity will become a forbidden religion. The sacrifice (Christian prayer) and the oblation (a solemn offering or presentation to God; the belief in the doctrine of Jesus as the Son of God, the Body and Blood of Christ as Savior) will cease (by worldwide governmental law). Christianity will be considered an abomination that is the cause of war. It will become desolate (not allowed to be practiced), even until the consummation (up until the true Messiah, Jesus returns), and that determined (punishment for people that refuse to deny their Christian faith) shall be poured upon the desolate.

Timothy Wayne George's comment is the truth of Holy Scriptures.
Garyloyd's Daniel Chapter 9 comment on 2/15/2012, 3:50am...
Any body that believes they are gona fly better read Ezekiel 13. God hates that lie. Satan and his preachers have spread that lie. God never said anyone would fly to save their own soul. In fact God said He will drop 180 lb. rocks on them at the point of take off. The gathering place.Do you really want to believe a man telling you something God tells you not to do.
Timothy Wayne George's Daniel Chapter 9 comment on 1/28/2012, 12:15pm...
We are living in the age of grace,and Christ is calling Jews along with Gentiles into the Church. This is the period between the 69th week of the 70 week of years. When the Church is caught up in the clouds, then the 70th week will begin. The man of sin will sign a false peace treaty with Israel for 7 years. After that Christ returns and sets up his kingdom.
Rodney_l_smith@sbcglobal.net's Daniel Chapter 9 comment about verse 27 on 4/29/2011, 7:24pm...
The Messiah already confirmed the covenant
according to Gal 3:17. This is irrefutable.
The MEssiah is the one who made their house desolate in the first century.
There is no more temple because the city and the sanctuary were already destroyed, according to Dan 9:26.
The Messiah already scattered the power of the holy people according to Dan 12:7.
There is no more things written, that have yet to be fulfilled.
We are now living in the everlasting Kingdom age that was promised by Isa 9:7
