This vision in Daniel has been interpreted over the centuries by many people, though until the restoration of Israel and Jerusalem in our day, many interpretations have been faulty because they were centered not on Israel, but on the church, Rome, and everything other pagan nation. Daniel 9:24 clarifies that the 70 weeks are about God dealing with His people, the Jewish people, not the world, church or Rome, unless what is happening to the Jewish people affects these other entities.
