The prophet Daniel, living in exile under Persian rule, studied Jeremiah's prophecy about Israel's 70-year captivity and was moved to pray for his people's restoration. His powerful prayer wasn't based on his own righteousness but on God's mercy, as he confessed the collective sins that led to exile: neglecting God's commands, treating people brutally, and worshipping false gods. God responded through the angel Gabriel with the Seventy Weeks prophecy, promising to finish transgression, end sin, atone for iniquity, bring everlasting righteousness, seal vision and prophet, and anoint a most holy place. These promises point directly to Christ's redemptive work. For us today, this teaches that we need hope and redemption rather than just pain relief, that true confession brings healing, and that God's perfect character gives us confidence in His timing.
