Let's look at Daniel 9:25-26
From the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks [sixty-nine weeks total]: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks [sixty-two weeks] the Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood.
So there you go, it says weeks, and yet Jesus supposedly came 500 years after this.
The phrase "Messiah the Prince" does not apply to Jesus, because Jesus was no "prince".
It also ends by saying, "And the end thereof shall be with a flood," but Jerusalem was never destroyed with a flood.

Christianity was and still is a minority in the world. The only time it thrived was when people were forced and threatened into it.
You utter fool. In the Bible ‘weeks’ doesn’t mean ‘weeks’, just as ‘days’ and ‘years’ don’t mean what we think they mean. These are sacred and holy metaphors for non-specific periods of time, used by the ancient Hebrews to make the magic spells work.
