Another interpretation that has the Jews center stage. Imagine that.
This might be about to change, with the findings of the Chronicle Project Research Group of Canada. The Chronicle Project has restored what they say are the original meanings of Daniel 9:24 – 27 using a system embedded in the ancient Hebrew language at it inception, that the group discovered in 2009.
This system is known as Self Defining Hebrew and uses a glyph/concept system much like the ancient hieroglyphs of Egypt, rather than the phonetic system that is presently used.
Here is a link to their research notes: thechronicleproject.org...
...The system allows for a muliple level check on the meaning of each word, thus allowing restorations of words that only appear once in Daniel and no where else in the bible. The present system of translation lacks this capacity, thus lending to the disputes among scholars of ancient Hebrew.
When this new system was applied to the verses in Daniel, the results were astounding.
The material when restored, contained the prediction of the first great Jewish – Roman war, beginning with the revolt of the Jews and ending with the fall of Jerusalem, its people and the temple at the hands of the Roman army. It predicts the year 70 CE, the seven months of warfare and the seventy thousand man Roman army.

It is so easy to notice the snakes in the grass. I thank God for the spiritual gift of discernment. If only i had the power to open the eyes of the masses.
He was given prophecies about the Jews and Israel, he was a prophet of YHWH. No need to imagine.

For those who can't link to the verses:
v24 Seventy! Seventy (C.E.) therefore to break up your (nation), shall come upon your people and to come upon your revered city (Jerusalem). For all shall begin to revolt. And toward the (people) shall arise continuous atrocities.
v25 And continue to know and proceed to inform; a come forth is decreed, derived of the elders and family lines of Jerusalem unto the high priest. Therefore this shall come first, seventy (CE), seven (months of warfare) and seventy (thousand men).
Sixty and (two) years, to proceed to return (*) (*) and to withdraw being to position. And amid distress, the times shall pass.
…we need to determine what God say…

Yes, Holy Land (special dirt) and the Chosen Ones (special people). Thanks, I know where thats leading.
There are no special people, places or things.
Look within, not to a book written by others.
Personally, I think 'prophets' were taken in spirit and shown the future (now) having no clue what thy were seeing in the modern age. We take our world for granted, they spoke in symbology, struggling to understand what they were witnessing.
I always wondered why god never picked a smarter,loyal, less pig headed people as his chosen people like the japanese or koreans.
Well, the thread and OP is about the book of Daniel.

Because Japan and Korea weren't the hub of world trade back then?
All roads led to Jerusalem (Rome) back then. Follow the money.
