Prophecy of Seventy Weeks In the Book of Daniel, the Prophecy of Seventy Weeks is a prophecy given to Daniel by the angel Gabriel in response to Daniel praying for God to act on behalf of his people and city (i.e. Jerusalem). The prophecy has proved notoriously difficult for readers, despite it having been the subject of "intense exegetical activity" since the Second Temple period. For this reason scholars continue to follow James Alan Montgomery in referring to the history of this prophecy's interpretation as the "dismal swamp" of critical exegesis.
