“Week, The Last” From Dictionary of Biblical Words:
This refers to the seventieth, and only unfulfilled, week of Daniel’s prophecy. It is divided into two halves, the division being marked by Antichrist throwing off the mask of deceit, and beginning the fearful persecution of the saints for three and a half years, marked by the slaying of the two witnesses at the commencement (Rev. 14). At the close of this period Christ will publicly return to the Mount of Olives, and destroy the Man of Sin with the brightness of His coming (2 Thess. 2).
“Weeks, Seventy” From Dictionary of Biblical Words:
These are found in Dan. 9:24, and show in years, instead of days, the duration of time that would elapse ere the transgressions and sins of God’s ancient people should finally be made an end of. This we know will happen when they shall look upon Him whom they have pierced, and mourn at the Lord’s return. Inasmuch as seventy weeks only amount to 490 years, and as over 2,000 have elapsed since the prophecy, some explanation is necessary. This is found in the fact that this prophecy is distinctly Jewish, and solely refers to God’s ancient people. We find in ver. 25 that this period is sub-divided into seven weeks, sixty-two weeks and one week, also that the street and wall should be built in “strait of time,” or in the seven weeks, and that then, after sixty-two weeks, Messiah should be cut off, the end of the sixty-ninth week being marked by the advent of Messiah the Prince. This event probably took place on the day of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, when the Lord said, “If thou hadst known, oven in this thy day.” It is also found, by accurate calculation, that the sixty-ninth week expired on this very day. Shortly after this, according to ver. 26, Messiah was cut off, but not for Himself. Since that time, Israel has been Loammi, “not my people,” and has been scattered and rejected. Time with the Jews, therefore, is not now counted, God being engaged in calling a heavenly people out of the world to form a bride for Christ. When this is completed, and the Lord has come and fetched His people away to be with Himself, then, and not till then, Daniel’s last week will run its course under the fearful reign of Anti-Christ.
“Seven” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
A favorite, and often symbolic, number among Hebrews
(Gen. 2:2; 7:2; 41:2-3). Used as a round number (1 Sam. 2:5; Matt. 12:45). Type of abundance and completeness (Gen. 4:15,24; Matt. 18:21-22). These references, and other places, show a seventh day and seventh year sabbath and a seven times seventh year of Jubilee; also sacrificial animals limited to seven, and the golden candlesticks. Seven priests with seven trumpets surrounded Jericho for seven days, and seven times on the seventh day. In the Apocalypse we find seven churches, seven candlesticks, seven stars, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven vials, seven plagues, seven angels.
“Week” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
The division of time into weeks of seven days each dates from the earliest historic times among many and wide-apart nations
The Hebrew week began on our Sunday, their Sabbath being the seventh day or Saturday. The only day of their week they named was the Sabbath. The rest ran by numbers, as first, second, third, and so forth. Besides their week of days, Hebrews had their week of years, every seven years, and their week of seven times seven years, or year of jubilee, every fiftieth year (Gen. 8:10; 29:27). The “feast of weeks” corresponded with Pentecost (Ex. 23:15; 34:22; Lev. 23:15-22; Num. 28).
