The seventy weeks prophecy is internally dated to "the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, by birth a Mede" (Daniel 9:1), [34] later referred to in the Book of Daniel as "Darius the Mede" (e.g. Daniel 11:1); [35] however, no such ruler is known to history and the widespread consensus among critical scholars is that he is a literary fiction.

[26] [27] Jerome in his Commentary on Daniel went into the kingdoms that Daniel predicted. [28] Many Protestant Reformers were interested in historicism and the day-year principle, assigning prophecies in the Bible to past, present and future events. It was prevalent in Wycliffe's writings, [14] and taught by Martin Luther, [29] [30] John ...
The day-year principle was partially employed by Jews [7] as seen in Daniel 9:24–27, Ezekiel 4:4-7 [8] and in the early church. [9] It was first used in Christian exposition in 380 AD by Ticonius, who interpreted the three and a half days of Revelation 11:9 as three and a half years, writing 'three days and a half; that is, three years and six months' ('dies tres et dimidium; id est annos ...

The Book of Daniel is a 2nd-century BC biblical apocalypse with a 6th-century BC setting. Ostensibly "an account of the activities and visions of Daniel, a noble Jew exiled at Babylon", [1] the text features a prophecy rooted in Jewish history, as well as a portrayal of the end times that is both cosmic in scope and political in its focus.

According to dispensational premillennialism, the seventieth week of Daniel's seventy weeks prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27 is yet unfulfilled, to occur in the future. [17] The prophecy of weeks is interpreted as referring to years, with a week meaning 7 years. [18]
Matthew 24:15–16 [35] follows Mark 13:14 closely: "So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains"; but unlike Mark, Matthew uses a neutral participle instead of a masculine one, and explicitly ...
