Hi Karl!
I won't elaborate in too much detail here, as you'll be able to read the
article online in the very near future. The major assumption which I attack
in the article is that the three periods which make up the 70 weeks are
necessarily sequential such that they necessarily yield 490 years. While it's
a good and logical assumption, I argue that the text does not actually
necessitate it, and that the syntax might suggest another way of configuring
the 70 weeks.
I'll leave you with that cliff-hanger. :)
