A Thief In Night

Daniel 9
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.

Passages To Agonize Over
Is this a Bible prophesy? Is a week a year? Do seventy weeks equate to 490 years? Is this prophesy fulfilled? Is it allegory? How many God-fearing, Bible-believing Christians have pondered this passage? Am I the only one?

Here is satisfying commentary on this passage:

Every year or so I look at Daniel, Zecharia and Revelations. I find reading these books comforting and edifying. But, I admit, each time I start to read these books, I just can't make sense of the words. Then, I read some commentary, Scofield, Clanence Larkin, Charles Sperry Chafer, and the prophesies become clear. Passages on Bible prophesy from these three books are the only ones that I cannot understand without commentary.

Now, following is Bible prophesy I truly comprehend. The truth of this passage stabs your heart, the very second you finish reading it.

Matthew 24
42 Watch therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
