If the timing of the 70 weeks had been correctly understood in the first century C.E., one would think that the apostles and other first - century Christians would have referred to it as proof that the promised Messiah had arrived right on time in the person of Jesus Christ.
Oleks loogiline arvata, et kui seda ennustust oleks 1. sajandil õigesti mõistetud, siis oleksid apostlid ja teised 1. sajandi kristlased viidanud sellele kui tõendile, et Jeesus Kristus tuli tõotatud Messiana just õigel ajal.
