The 70 weeks of Daniel: A different view

In the book of Daniel, two prophecies are particularly prominent: the statue of Nebuchadnezzar in chapter 2 and the prophecy of the 70 weeks in chapter 9. This book focuses on the latter. It shows that the usual and widespread counting of the 70 weeks from the decree of Artaxerxes in 445 B.C. until Jesus Christ is no longer tenable on closer examination of the Bible text and must be rejected. Instead, it is shown that the Bible prescribes to count from the year 605 B.C. to Cyrus or to Antiochus Epiphany.
But with this counting, however, the usual "calculation" of the 70 weeks up to the year of Jesus' death has become impossible, which will probably lead to contradiction against the interpretation made here. But the text findings allow no more any other interpretation. On the other hand, a harmonization of the contents of the book of Daniel is possible, which was not so far.
May it serve the church of God to find unconditional trust in the Word of God and thus to be strengthened and fortified in faith in our Lord Jesus Christ for the times ahead.
The author wishes all readers a blessed use.
