 * Hello
 * Please provide Source for this
 * "In the first year of Darius the Mede, Daniel meditates on the word of Jeremiah that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years; he confesses the sin of Israel and pleads for God to restore Israel and the "desolated sanctuary" of the Temple. The angel Gabriel explains that the seventy years stand for seventy "weeks" of years (490 years), during which the Temple will first be restored, then later defiled by a "prince who is to come," "until the decreed end is poured out."
 * There is no source it is a doctrine of a particular religious sect. Your reference to a bible translation proves this very point. Every translation is in fact a doctrinal statement. Is Wikipedia an encyclopedia or an outlet for a particular Sects view of Eschatology?
 * My Edit at the beginning of the article simply pointed out that there are various views on the dating of Daniel 9 and it is not iron clad as presented in this article. I did not state that the later dating was wrong nor did I state it was correct I simply provided arguments for both points of view.
 * My editing of Daniel 9 was based on Hebrew translation of Hebrew txt not a particular Christian's sects interpretation of said text. Daniel 9 makes direct reference to The Curse of the Covenant as laid out in the Law of Moses I simply pointed the reader to that curse in Leviticus 26: It was not an interpretation simply pointing the reader to where the txt says the 70 weeks of years comes from. What you have posted is simply an interpretation of what someone thinks. No where in Daniel 9 does it state that Jeremiahs 70 years is being reworked into 490 years that is an interpretation.
 * So I ask again is Wikipedia a place to get accurate information or is it a place to get opinions about possible meanings based on a Religious sects personal belief system.
