In one of the most astonishing passages in all of prophecy, Daniel 9:20–27 pulls back the curtain to reveal God’s redemptive timeline, pointing directly to the coming of the Anointed One, the Messiah.

While Daniel was still praying, Gabriel arrived with an answer. Not just to his words, but to the cries of generations. The “seventy weeks” prophecy outlined a plan for the end of sin, the atonement for iniquity, and the arrival of everlasting righteousness.

At the center of it all: Jesus.

• God responds to humble prayer with powerful revelation.
• Jesus is not an afterthought. He is the centerpiece of history.
• God’s timing is exact, His promises sure, and His redemption unstoppable.
• The Messiah has been revealed and the world has never been the same.
