Seventy Weeks have been determined [1], Sixty-nine have been fulfilled  
Number seven zero about start, does this make you thrilled?  
-
Seven years this will  last, the time of Jacob’s trouble  
The Vengeance of the Lord…turn the world into rubble  
-
There is a town in Israel, Jerusalems’ the name  
In this town there is a place, a place of world fame  
-
Almighty God has chosen, a place for the Messiah  
The center of the world, the place is Mount Moriah  
-
Construction soon will start, on Temple number three  
But the place is wrong. This just cannot be  
-
I will tell you how I know, it’s written plain as day  
A man of old, a holy sage; here’s what he had to say [2]
-
Sixty chapters he did write, plus another six  
The last chapter read the start, then cross the river Styx

[1] Dan 9:24
[2] Isa 66:1
