The prophecy of seventy weeks states the Messiah will be cut off after sixty-two weeks, or literally, sixty-two sevens. As I explained before, this sixty-two weeks follows the first seven weeks, so the cumulative total is sixty-nine sevens,' or 483 periods of time {69 x 7 = 483}. Fourteen is associated with sacrifice throughout the Old Testament. Now, if my theory is correct, these 'weeks' or sevens will be measured by a symbolic length of time measured by a fourteen month lunar cycle. After all, the Messiah is cut off or 'sacrificed' after the sixty-ninth seven.
