Most time lines or measuring sticks we use have a beginning, an end, and some known unit of measurement.
The 70 weeks of Daniel 9 has a beginning and a unit of measurement. What's questionable is the end of the time line. I was wondering if anybody had any strong convictions (or inclinations) about what, if anything, marks the end of the 70th week? Is there something in the scriptures that brings you to that conclusion, or are you looking at what event(s) happened 3.5 years after Jesus was crucified and selecting one that seems appropriate?
How important is it to be able to discern the end point of the 70 weeks?
