Description:
The 70 weeks of Daniel 9 prophecy timeline started with the command from Persian leader Artaxerxes in 457 BC. The first seven weeks (49 years) took place from 457 - 408 BC. The seven weeks were delineated because they comprise a 49-year Jubilee cycle, marking 457 BC as a year of Jubilee when the Jews were released to rebuild Jerusalem.
