KJV ORIGINAL
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's what you need to know and get: from the time the order goes out to rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah comes as ruler, it's going to be sixty-nine weeks total (seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks). The streets and walls will get rebuilt, but it's going to happen during some really tough times.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's timeline is precise — even the hardest rebuilds happen exactly when he says they will.
