Oh yes, I know of the interpretation (and even once held to it myself), but the rationale for it seems to be working with assumptions that are not actually expressed in the text.

Just to continue the conversation, though, could you let me know why you think the 69-week period is divided into a 7-week and 62-weeks period?

I know the answer to this even though I disagree with it: it is believed that the 7 sevens and 62 sevens mentioned in Daniel 9 are consecutive, yet real intervals.

I thought you had already heard of this interpretation of the passage.
