The chronology spans from the reign of Josiah, the last godly king in the southern kingdom of Judah, to events associated with the first coming of Christ—which most interpreters believe marks the end of the first sixty-nine of the Seventy Sevens.For information concerning the chronological structure of the book of Daniel, see Chronology of Daniel.
