Daniel's vision of Rev. 12 was of the end times, especially of the 7-year period commonly referred to as The Great Tribulation. According to Daniel 9, there are 70 weeks determined for Israel, divided into 69 weeks (62 weeks + 7 weeks of 7 years each) and then the 70th week. It took 49 years to rebuild the temple in Nehemiah's day (7 weeks representing years = 7x7 = 49 years.) From the completion of the Temple until the day Jesus entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate on what we celebrate as Palm Sunday was 434 years (62 weeks representing years = 62 x 7 = 434 years.) One week after Jesus' entry through the Eastern Gate He was crucified.
The 70th or last week refers to the 7 years of tribulation that is yet to come, and apparently soon coming.
In your study maybe include: Daniel 12, continuing from Daniel 11.
Also : Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 17:20-37, Luke 18:8, Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 7, John 16:33, 1Thessalonians, 2Thessalonians, Zephaniah 1:14,15, Ezekiel 30:3, Amos 5:18-20, 2Timothy 3,
Isaiah 24,
Daniel 7, encouraging= Daniel 7:25-26,
Hopefully these are helpful in your study & discussion
