The Timing of Christ’s Coming: Daniel’s Seventy Weeks of Years (Dan. 9:24-27)

Summary

This sermon by Pastor Chris McCoo explores Daniel's prophecy of the seventy weeks of years, explaining how it foretells the timing of Christ's first coming, particularly His public ministry and crucifixion. The 490-year period begins with the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem around 457 BC and culminates in Jesus' ministry starting around 27 AD, with His crucifixion occurring in the middle of the final week. The sermon emphasizes that the prophecy was fulfilled historically, including the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, and that the 70th week is not a future event but was completed with the early church's expansion to the Gentiles.
