It just makes sense that if in the last week of the 70 weeks we have the Messiah cut off (death on the cross) and he died in the midst of the Passover week which all so was the 50th Jubilee then the previous weeks would be weeks as well and not years.
The 62 weeks would have something to do with what Jesus did to be put on the cross. I know everyone goes with the physical rather than the spiritual to find a decree to rebuild the temple but Jesus said he would rebuild the temple in 3 days so why are people looking for a decree to build a physical temple? Jesus said John was the call to rebuild Jerusalem.
Matthew 17:11
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. [bold mine]
Daniel 9:25
Know therefore and understand, that 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: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. [bold mine]
