Miscellanies 1.21.125

So from the captivity to Babylon, which took place in the time of Jeremiah the prophet, what was said by Daniel the prophet was fulfilled, as follows: “Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and for the holy city, to finish sin, to seal up sins, to wipe out iniquities, to make atonement, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint a holy of holies. And you will know and understand: from the going out of the word to answer and to build Jerusalem until an anointed leader, seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; and it will return and the street and wall will be built, and the times will be emptied. And after the sixty-two weeks the anointing will be destroyed, and there is no judgment for him. And he will destroy the city and the sanctuary with the leader who is coming; they will be cut off in a flood; and until the end of the war cut short with desolations. And one week will confirm a covenant with many; and in half of the week my sacrifice and libation will be taken away; and on the temple an abomination of desolations, and until the end of the time an end will be given to the desolation. And half of the week will stop the incense of sacrifice, and the wing of destruction until the end, and the order of destruction with haste.”
