Abstract

The 70 weeks prophecy is among the most complicated biblical texts, but which many think are simple. This fact is undeniable because it is among the most widely researched, variously interpreted, and intensely debated biblical texts. Exegetical method is adopted for the best interpretation of the context of the Bible for appropriate and adequate meaning. The most widely accepted interpretation is its relation to the first advent of our savior Jesus Christ. The current study debunks this popular view by bringing in a completely new but scholarly and historically supported interpretation linking the prophecy to Zerubbabel, Onias III and Antiochus (IV) Epiphanes. The current study exhibits how easy it is to misinterpret biblical texts if not examined carefully. The study suggests adequate and appropriate interpretations to passages of the Holy Bible as they can influence human eternal destination.
