There is no Jew or gentile--why do you separate what God has joined together in Christ?Israel experienced going into the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities, as the curse part of the Mt. Sinai covenant. All nations and people did not experience going into the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities - as they were not part of the Mt. Sinai covenant.
Daniels' people are Israel. The 70 weeks of years are determined upon Daniel's people and the holy city of Jerusalem.
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.
Did you not learn from Israel's Assyrian and Babylonian captivities--since you say they were not for others? Did you not see their light, shown for all to see as an example of what could very well have been for every nation and people? Is that what you would prefer--that God make examples of every nation?
You fragment the greater truth from God into separate context, to your own lack of understanding. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever--why should you relive history and their captivity, that He should remain "the same" as it is written of Him?
