Daniel 9:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²² Gabriel said to me, “Daniel, I have come to give you wisdom and to help you understand. ²³ When you first started praying, an answer was given. And I came to tell you, because God loves you very much. So think about the message and understand the vision.

²⁴ “God has ordered 490 years for your people and your holy city. These years are ordered for these reasons: to stop people from turning against God; to put an end to sin; to take away evil; to bring in goodness that continues forever; to make the vision and prophecy come true; and to appoint a most holy place.
