To properly interpret the 70 weeks of Daniel. You have to understand that this book is from a  Jewish perspective. Daniel was a Jew in captivity in the Babylonian Empire. Babylon took captive Jews around 606 BC. First a Jewish year is 360 Days not 365 1/4. The Jewish calendar is based on the lunar cycle not solar. The term week represents the number 7 not 7 days. A week in this case represents 7 years. So 69 weeks represents 69 X 7 or 483 years.

To determine the number of days in 69 weeks you have to multiply 483 X 360 since there are 360 days in a Jewish year.

                                 483 X 360 = 173,880 Days      
   The 70th week is     7 X 360 =     2,520 Days

Notice how Daniel and Revelation compliment each other. Two different authors inspired by the Holy Spirit who lived 700 years apart in different cultures. See how the 70th week of Daniel lines up with the 7 year Tribulation in Revelation


Daniel

1 Week = 7 Jewish Years or (360 Days Times 7)

7 X 360    =
   2,520 Days

Total Time Period                 2,520 Days

Revelation

Revelation 11    2 witnesses prophecies               1,260 Days
First Half

Revelation 12   Israel flees Second Half         1,260 Days

Is this just a coincidence ?

Absolutely Not



The Antichrist signs a Mid-East Peace Treaty to start the Tribulation or the 70th Week of  Daniel.
