| |Babylon. Persia became the new world superpower. Daniel understood Jeremiah’s prophecy of 70 years of captivity, so he prayed for his people, and then the|
| |angel Gabriel appeared and told him of 70 weeks (490 years) required to finish the transgression of Israel, make an end of sins and make reconciliation for |
| |iniquity and bring in everlasting righteousness (69th week ended when Jesus was crucified, and the 70th week is still in the future.) Then, Cyrus |
