Hi Dismas (formerly Aspen),
I thought it obvious to most associated with this discussion were familiar with the verse as cited and the subsequent verse, now provided:
Daniel 9:25 (ESV)
[sup]25[/sup] Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. [sup]
[/sup]Daniel 9:26 (ESV)
[sup]26[/sup]And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. ...
Thus the first anointed one after the seven, and a second anointed one after the sixty-two, -- which sums to TWO anointed ones.
As I also explained to "Popeye", I think you missed the issuance of the WORD from GOD to establish and rebuild Jerusalem. -- It's kinda like starting a fire where you need fuel, air, and ignition, but I would observe that you do not possess those three, or even two, or even one. You may need to consult with a professional.
I certainly do not fault someone for having an hypothesis, but GOS's Word must be foundational to any premise and solution.
Dismas, GOD is aware of what we need to understand HIS World. Just as we need three resources to make fire, so too GOD provides each of those Prophetic resources to make an interpretation. The only difference is where GOD says to wait until the end time to attempt such an effort (i.e., swim to dry land), most attempt this from where they are (i.e., still in the water). So now that we have traversed world history (i.e., are on dry land, -- as of ~1948) all that's necessary re the Prophetic resources, and a simple understanding of world history.
It's really quite simple once you know GOD's resources.

I am not Aspen. But thanks for the warm welcome.
Please stop being obtuse and just say your opinion and be done with it. Are you really trying to reach the truth or not? Don't play games with the truth.

What are you talking about? "The word from God", the verse says what it says. The verse refers to the coming of Christ, right, got that.

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
I definitely could be wrong here, but it seems to me that a lot of eschatologists just assume that prophecy just magically happens of its own accord - which I'm sure some of it does, but IMO, the large majority of it is intentionally recreated. The world is ruled by dark powers, in other words, Satanists - Satanists that KNOWINGLY use prophecies as MAGIC. I think it would be safe to say that the Satanic elites know the Bible better than you even think you do.
Let me bore you with examples:

About the 3rd Temple,
http://www.wired.com...4/holyland.html
[font="verdana][size="2"]All sides acknowledge that tensions on the hill have the potential to start a war, but Hayutman believes he has found a way to resolve the intractable conflict. "What most people see is that if the Muslims are here, surely there is no temple," Hayutman says. "They do not understand that technology has given us the tools to realize the prophecy right now."[/size][/font]
[font="verdana][size="2"]He has two big ideas, two ways to engineer the apocalypse. The first: a hovering holographic temple. Hayutman wants to set up an array of high-powered, water-cooled lasers and fire them into a transparent cube suspended beneath a blimp. The ephemeral, flickering image, he says, would fulfill an ancient, widely revered Jewish prophecy that the temple will descend from the heavens as a manifestation of light.[/size][/font]

Barack Obama signs wrong date in abbey visitor's book
Barack Obama made a gaffe during his state visit yesterday — signing Westminster Abbey’s visitors’ book with the incorrect year.
This is a reference to Daniel 7:25 - And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
And the most obvious clue to Obama being a ritual false Christ (false Prophet) is the Norway Spiral event.
December 9, 2009 was the Norway Spiral made by EISCAT (similar to US HAARP, High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/ ).
http://www.universet...ky-over-norway/
This was immediately right before Obama was in Norway to pick up his Nobel Peace Prize. This event was a ritual to make Obama into a false Christ, the 1st seal of Revelations (wise men followed the star with gifts of gold to give to the prince of Peace). And before you scoff at this notion, thinking that the spiral was just “a missile gone astray” as the media presented it, please understand that scientists know how to create man-made aurora effects. In fact, the current NASA director, Charles Bolden Jr., commanded the crew of the Space Shuttle mission that created the first artificial auroral discharge.

I could go on and on about it. Just use scripture and your own God given common sense to see that things are unravelling quickly. Again, Satanists use scripture as MAGIC to produce the antichrist via fulfillment of the prophecies. So, there will be multiple "fulfillments" just to cover their bases (because the scriptures can be unclear).
Let's go back to your assertion that there is a full stop and not a comma here: "to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks". The 7 weeks/ 49 years left us with 6-11-09 through 6-11-16. Since the antichrist is Prince William, here is his "confirming the covenant with the many":

But let's look at the scripture before that:
24 * Seventy
cweeks are determined upon thy people and upon
dthy holy city,
* to finish
ethe transgression, and
* fto make an end of sins, and
gto make reconciliation for iniquity, and to
hbring in everlasting righteousness, and
ito seal up the vision and

lthe most Holy.
From this context, the "weeks"/ "shabuwa"/ "feast of weeks" holiday means 70 years. The (public) commandment to restore Israel, November 27, 1947 plus 70 (a Biblical generation/ "this generation will not pass away before all these things come true") takes us to November 2017. Which just so happens to be right around the time that Prince Charles thinks that the world will end. (8+ 2009 July)

The anointed one comes after 7 + 60+ 2 years/ feasts of weeks, ie 69 + Nov. 1047 equals Nov. 2016.
November 2009 is when the EU president Van Rompuy stated 2009 was the first year of global governance (Babylon).
So, either way, we end up with June 2009 through June 2016 or November 2009 through November 2016.
