McClain divides his pamphlet into three parts. The first part is a relatively non-technical exposition of the first sixty-nine weeks of Daniel’s prophecy about Israel. In doing so, he covers in some detail the Hebrew word for “weeks” and how the word, plus context and application determines its meaning. The reader needs to be aware at this point that in calculating the period of the sixty-nine weeks, a calculator would be helpful because, yes, there is some math involved! One reviewer evidently gave up the books at this point. He or she thought there was just too much “numerology.”

In Part 2, McClain describes the two major conclusions–the “Continuous” and the “Gap” interpretations. His defense of the “Gap” interpretation (an interval of time between the end of the sixty-ninth and seventieth weeks) is about as convincing an argument as I have read, especially considering its brevity.
