Daniel 9:24

[Gabriel will speak of 70 seven periods concerning the Jewish people. Hebrew uses the word "shavuim," which means 7 of something. It indicates a period of 7 without any unit, in the same way that "a dozen" in English can refer to 12 of anything. The seven periods can refer to 7 years, 7 days, 7 months, or a symbolic "complete" time. However, years are the most likely unit; for example, the introduction refers to 70 years. A common expression for such a "seven period" or week of years is then "year week." A seven-year period familiar to Jews was also the seventh sabbatical year for the land, when the fields were to lie fallow, see Lev. 25:1–6. Every seventh such year, i.e., the 49th year, was a jubilee year. It was a year when the whole community got a fresh start—all loans were written off and the land returned to its original owners, see Lev. 25:7. This system of both planned and market economies ensured that even if the parent generation made bad choices, their children would not have to inherit their debts. When Moses received this decree, it also came with a warning. If the Jewish people did not adhere to this principle, they would be scattered among the nations, see Lev. 26:33–35; Jer. 34:12–22.
The system of sabbatical years began when the Israelites entered the land, see Lev. 25:2. When Solomon began building the temple, it was 480 years after the Exodus from Egypt, see 1 Kings 6:1. God gives Solomon the same warning that the people will be scattered, see 1 Kings 9:6–9. It is mentioned that Solomon imposed heavy taxes on the people and that these sabbatical years were probably not observed, see 1 Kings 5:13–14; 12:6–11. This resulted in the siege of Jerusalem in 605 BC and the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC. It is worth noting that the northern kingdom fell as early as 722 BC. Their apostasy was greater than that of the southern kingdom. They did not even keep the Sabbath once a week or the other feast days, which may be the reason why their time ran out more quickly.
Major prophetic events have occurred every 490/500 years in Israel's history:
Abraham is born, ca. 1950 BC. Exodus from Egypt, ca. 1450 BC. First Temple inaugurated, 996 BC. Temple rededicated, 516 BC. Jesus is born 8-4 BC, dies and rises again 30 or 33 AD. In the actual definition of the Jubilee year, there is some uncertainty in the wording as to whether the Jubilee year should be included or added to the 49th year so that the cycle becomes 50 years. This means that the cycle can vary between 490 and 500 years. The 40 years of wandering in the desert do not seem to be included, which means that there is a margin, see 1 Kings 6:1.]
Seventy-seven periods [70 weeks of years, corresponding to 490 years] are determined (literally 'engraved' or 'cut out') over your people [the Jewish people] and your holy city [Jerusalem]. [A fixed period of time is 'cut off' that specifically concerns the Jewish people, Jerusalem, and Israel. The reason is:]
To put an end to transgression.
To seal sins.
To atone for (cover) guilt.
To establish eternal righteousness.
To seal the vision and prophecy (as with a seal).
To anoint (set apart for holy service) the most holy. [The most holy probably refers to the temple, and specifically to the City of God and the future temple in Jerusalem. Ezekiel was a contemporary of Daniel, and his vision in chapters 40-48 was not unknown.]
