Know therefore, and understand, that from the going\r\nforth of the word commanding an answer to be given, and Jerusalem to\r\nbe built, to Christ the Prince, are seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;\r\nand the street shall be again built, and the wall; and the times shall\r\nbe expended. And after the sixty-two weeks the anointing shall be\r\noverthrown, and judgment shall not be in him; and he shall destroy the\r\ncity and the sanctuary along with the coming Prince. And they shall be\r\ndestroyed in a flood, and to the<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_434\">[434]</span> end of the war shall be cut off by\r\ndesolations. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week;\r\nand in the middle of the week the sacrifice and oblation shall be taken\r\naway; and in the holy place shall be the abomination of desolations,\r\nand until the consummation of time shall the consummation be assigned\r\nfor desolation. And in the midst of the week shall he make the incense\r\nof sacrifice cease, and of the wing of destruction, even till the\r\nconsummation, like the destruction of the oblation.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1030\" id=\"FNanchor_1030\">[1030]</a> That the\r\ntemple accordingly was built in seven weeks, is evident; for it is\r\nwritten in Esdras. And thus Christ became King of the Jews, reigning in\r\nJerusalem in the fulfilment of the seven weeks. And in the sixty and\r\ntwo weeks the whole of Judæa was quiet, and without wars. And Christ\r\nour Lord, “the Holy of Holies,” having come and fulfilled the vision\r\nand the prophecy, was anointed in His flesh by the Holy Spirit of His\r\nFather. In those “sixty and two weeks,” as the prophet said, and “in\r\nthe one week,” was He Lord. The half of the week Nero held sway, and\r\nin the holy city Jerusalem placed the abomination; and in the half\r\nof the week he was taken away, and Otho, and Galba, and Vitellius.\r\nAnd Vespasian rose to the supreme power, and destroyed Jerusalem, and\r\ndesolated the holy place. And that such are the facts of the case, is\r\nclear to him that is able to understand, as the prophet said.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE MISCELLANIES.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER XXI.
