Daniel's seventy weeks, the passage can read both as the fall of Jerusalem of 70 AD and now, meaning today again, as in Matthew “out of Egypt have I called my Son” (2.15)” refers both to the Exodus, Israel being the son or the return from Egypt of Joseph Mary and the Child.

My Meditations of Jerusalem lead to Daniel doing the same, reading of Jeremiah's statement that Jerusalem would be restored after 70 years from its first captivity, in which he himself was taken. Jeremiah Ezekiel, Habakkuk, Zephaniah and Daniel were all contemporaries and Daniel was reading Jeremiah in some script form, as his work was circulating. Daniel took Jeremiah so authoritatively he immediately began to fast and pray for this restoration.
The 70 years connects to Daniel's own meditation delivered to him later by the angel about the 70 years of weeks between then and the coming of Messiah as King (Palm Sunday), mathematically deduced exactly by later scholars. The ultimate vision of foretelling, which (the real) archangel Gabriel gives to Daniel is mathematically precise. The 69 weeks from the beginning of the restoration of Jerusalem to the proclamation of the King, that Palm Sunday in Jerusalem, measure exactly, to the day, the time from March 14, 445 B.C. to April 6, 32 A.D. We are in the presence of something so great that it is well worth contemplation if you tire of the black hole, time breaking routine that brings the fierce countenance in. Scotland Yard's Sir Robert Anderson The Coming Prince undertook this, but the greatest of these is Sir Isaac Newton's Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John, who they debunk in prophecy along with his predecessor, John Milton. To reduce the man of faith to his contradictions is this trade, but all men are so flawed, which means critics themselves.
This seventy weeks of years, 490 so to speak, is also deduced in the final end of days, 69 weeks plus one. Jeremiah, Daniel and Ezekiel were all contemporaries and of such significance that Ezekiel (14.14) spoke of Daniel in the same breath as Noah and Job. This not only shows that Daniel too was being read in manuscript, but it further discredits that this was some other Daniel, as our dear higher editors allege, since contemporary speaking is implied. The utterly consummate meaning of the statue of Nebuchadnezzar's four world kingdoms that Daniel produces by revelation and commentary, its exact coming to bear after these millennia have passed, that America is Rome, I found out the hard way, and that the kingdoms of iron and clay are Rome II, gives an overview of the meaning of these 69 weeks plus one, hence of the false messiah, the lamb dragon of Revelation.
All of which is to say that these revelations view the world through the glass and focus of Israel, which means Israel is the vehicle that will produce the redemption of the world that all the falsifiers will promise and attempt to counterfeit what only Messiah can and will produce. Therefore we expect Israel will be the most counterfeited of all the counterfeits falling on us like heavy snow. Fire breathing debunking can never imagine anyone different from itself, hence critics cannot accept any of this. Believe the unbelievable because to know what exactly the world is, a war in an arena for those in the boxes and cheap seats. We are out to win the war against the war.
But the time is an anti mirror of itself. Every thing that is said can be copied, falsified and imitated which will be done so that the thing we think we see is not. Daniel's words are taken for a ride. The words remain, but the meaning is gone. This means that...you have been smitten who are dead in trespasses and fears.
Top Note observations
1) if Daniel is written late in Maccabean times it is not likely that it occurs among the Dead Sea Scrolls of that same era, but it does, not to speak of the impossibility of its being written after the Septuagint c. 270 BC
2) There are third person narrations describing Daniel and his situation containing first person accounts of himself and his visions. It is important to say that Daniels' seventy weeks are not his own invention, and certainly not an editors, they are given him by Gabriel.
It is Daniel who first speaks of the four beasts that come from the sea. And whether this is written in Maccabean times or in the Babylon captivity, which it was, critics miss the point that the rise of these empires from the sea, their occupation of the land, their devouring of all that stands in their way, rising nations, arrogant and powerful tales, regard in the new world, the earth, the United States and Europe. But these nations substituted Russia and China for themselves as the chief danger to the world. The more dire circumstances are turned to this superficial analysis. Since people can convince themselves of anything by the sheer desire to belong to a greater whole, as long as those empires gave them their bread they did not resist. Ez. 14.14: even if these three men--Noah, Daniel and Job--were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD.
Scholarly doubts upon Daniel being included with Noah and Job contemporaneously can be looked up in the 14th century BC Ugaritic Danel, but are mere verbal similarity, which is no identity at all. Book scholars are skilled equivocators when they say the three, Noah, Job, Daniel, are a catalogue of ancient, righteous, non-Israelite men. Noah and Job are not Israelite any more than Abraham, but they are not equivalent with a pagan Ugartic hero. As to the elision of the vowel, it was common for scribes to omit vowel sounds, including the equivalent of the English letter y (yod or yodh in Hebrew). As in the Arabic and Hebrew of today, a symbol that we call “aleph,” represented in English by an apostrophe mark, was commonly inserted to represent a sound much like a catch in the throat that often translates into English as either y or i. In such cases, the aleph is often said to be a yodh. http://planetpreterist.com/content/did-ezekiel-know-daniel-prophet
Plausible explanations for “the doubling of the yod” in the Book of Daniel. Key comments are as follows:
"Part of the reason that the spelling of Daniel's name is different might be that the yodh used in the name in the book of Daniel may indeed be a yodh compaginis, a mere connective rather than the first person infix. Or, if the yodh was intended by the author to be a personal infix as a constant reminder of his relation to YHWH, then one could easily understand why such would be missing in Ezekiel’s spelling of the name. In other words, Daniel’s spelling reminds him of his own responsibility before God and of his ownhumility. Ezekiel’s spelling leaves the yodh out, broadening the scope of God as
judge (9)."
For those whose life is in the faith of Abraham however the testimony and reliance of writers upon the veracity of these texts strengthens them. So Rabbeinu Bachya (c. 1040 AD) cites Ezekiel in his Duties of the Heart, X, 36: "you will observe that the Creator associates two righteous men with Job and holds them up as examples, as it is said, "[though these three men] Noah, Daniel and Job [were in it]" (Ezekiel 14.14). Such citations of these writings can be much multiplied.
To briefly amplify, both John Milton and Isaac Newton have been turned against their faith by these destroyers who write their pepper dissertations. See Newton's Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John (1733) as considered by David Flynn, Temple at the Center of Time (2008). Whenever we look at it these subjects are profound and endearing.
Note On Newton's prophecies of Daniel:
Newton's Daniel is collection of fragments assembled by his half-nephew Benjamin Smith (1700-1776)
with a view to publication, and printed posthumously, 1733.
-- Six years after his death, Newton's
nephew Benjamin Smith published a small portion of Newton's later writings on
the prophetic Books of Daniel and Revelation. For more than two centuries, this
book provided the only glimpse into Newton's prophetic thought
--Benjamin Smith (born about 1700, rector of
Linton-in-Craven, 1743-1776), one of the most marked specimens of a profligate
clergyman at a time when such specimens were more frequent than now by at least
twenty to one, to speak charitably of past time; and so notorious in early
youth
-- To this nephew, when a very young man, Newton wrote in
such plain terms as his conduct justified, describing his haunts and his
practices in language which decent people reserve for such occasions as
imperatively require it. The clergyman into whose hands these letters fell after
Smith's death, destroyed them, for the sake of Newton's reputation. In his
disgust at the coarseness of their language, he forgot to consider the
necessity of the case. What followed? It oozed out that Newton had written to
his nephew letters so objectionable, that a worthy clergyman destroyed them, lest they should
damage the writer's character as a respectable man: the clergyman himself
furnished the information that he burned them for 'vulgar phraseology.' here
--See also Isaac
Newton's Temple of Solomon and his Reconstruction of Sacred Architecture --Thomas Pellet, Newton's executor found two areas
to profitably publish out of hundreds, ms on chronology and two on prophecies. No publishers
would buy the prophecies until Smith selected and sold it 1733.
--"in the rare books card catalogue of the Library of Congress,
I asked to read it. I was astonished when, a few minutes later, I was handed Thomas
Jefferson's personal copy."
