Are you denying that the final week in Daniel 9 is 7 years? That is the year/day principle

It may be a year/day principal

But that’s not how I got it.

the 'day year principle' is not a legitimate interpretation of prophecy...God doesn't talk in numerical code...

daniel 9 literally refers to 'sevens'...not 'weeks'... in hebrew timekeeping there was a concept of a 'week of years' that lasted seven years...and that is probably what is being referred to here...

When you read the word week in the OT you think it means 7 days, so you add your day is like a year principal to it.

When I read the word week in the OT it means 7 years, I don’t have to add any principal to it.

Back in the OT they never used the word week to describe 7 days as they do today.

Genesis 29:27Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
