但以理九章二十四至二十七节是整卷但以理书最宝贵的一段。这几节所题到的七十个七，乃是明白圣经豫言的钥匙。二十四至二十七节说到异象的内容。内容乃是七十个七。
二十四节里，七十个七乃是神为祂子民并为祂圣城所截定的定命。七十个七的目的，是要终止过犯，了结罪恶，赎尽罪孽，带进永远的义，封住异象和豫言，并膏至圣之处。今天在旧造里人的政权之下，过犯、罪恶和罪孽到处盛行。当基督在所截定的时候，来砸碎人类政权时，过犯就要终止，罪恶要了结，罪孽要赎尽。
然后永远的义要被带进来。要来的国度时代乃是神圣之义的时代；在新天新地里，要有永远的义。
但以理九章二十四节下半也说到封住异象和豫言。异象和豫言要被封住，因为一切都成就了，应验了。所以不需要异象或豫言。国度时代里有君王和祭司，却没有先知。
七十个七最后一方面的目的，是要膏至圣之处。在但以理祷告的时候，至圣所受到污染、玷污并破坏；但当截定的时候来到，至圣所要有正确的膏抹。这就是说，对神的事奉要得着恢复。这是何等的祝福！

The Destiny Apportioned by God – Dan. 9:24
Daniel 9:24-27 is the most precious portion in the entire book of Daniel. The seventy weeks mentioned in these verses are the key to understanding the prophecies of the Bible. Verses 24 through 27 are the contents of the vision. The contents are the seventy weeks.
In verse 24, the seventy weeks are the destiny apportioned by God for his people and for his holy city. The purpose of the seventy weeks is to close the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make propitiation for iniquity, to bring in the righteousness of the ages, to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies. Today in the old creation under human government, transgression, sins and iniquity are prevailing. When Christ comes to crush human government, at the time appointed, the transgression will be closed, sins will be ended and iniquity will be propitiated.
Then the righteousness of the ages will be brought in. The coming kingdom age will be an age of divine righteousness, and in the new heaven and new earth, there will be eternal righteousness.
Daniel 9:24b also speaks of the sealing up of vision and prophet. The vision and prophet will be sealed because everything will be fulfilled. There will, therefore, be no need of visions or prophets. In the kingdom age, there will be kings and priests but no prophets.
The last aspect of the purpose of the seventy weeks is to anoint the holy of holies. At the time of Daniel’s prayer, the holy of holies was contaminated, defiled and devastated. But when the apportioned time comes, the holy of holies will be properly anointed. This means that the service to God will be recovered. What a blessing!
