How do we know that 69 weeks are fulfilled but the 70th is still future?
For three reasons: • in the first place, it is interesting that the 70th week is separated from the 69 preceding ones (Dan 9:26, 27). • evidently, the events of the 70th week have not yet occurred (see Q 15 Q 17). • the time of the church is outside the scope of prophecy as is the church itself (see Q 7). As the time of the church started only days (50) after the death of Christ (i.e. the end of Daniel’s 69th week) and still lasts today we must conclude that, so far, there has been no room for Daniel’s 70th week to occur.
