The Chiasmus for Daniel Chapter 9, King James Version

Chapter 9 is about the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple thereof. 

    1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
        2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
            3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
                4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
                    5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
                        6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
                            7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because
                                    of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
                                8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
                                    9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
                                        10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
                                            11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
                                                12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
                                                    13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
                                                        14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
                                                    15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
                                                16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a
                                                    reproach to all that are about us.
                                            17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
                                        18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
                                    19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
                                20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
                            21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
                        22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
                    23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
                24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
            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.
        26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
    27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

From the chiasmus we can see that Verses 1-4 are parallel to Verses 24-27.

Verse 4, Daniel announces that God is keeping his covenant with those who keep his commandments, and in Verse 24 he tells us that 70 weeks are determined to finish the transgression and make reconciliation. 
Verse 3, Daniel tells us that he is in prayer and supplication, and in Verse 25 he tells us that from the going forth of the commandment to build Jerusalem there will be 7 weeks and 62 weeks.
Verse 2, Daniel tells us that he understood from Jeremiah's book that Darius would accomplish 70 years in the desolation of Jerusalem, and in Verse 26 that after 62 weeks the Messiah shall be cut off and the people of Darius would come to destroy the city.
Verse 1, The key to understanding Darius the Mede is that he is Persian / Iranian / Iraqi, etc. and he is king over the Chaldeans meaning both houses of Abraham (Isaac and Ishmael). Abraham was a Chaldean, descendants of Isaac are Jewish / Christain and descendants of Ishmael are Muslim.

v. 1-2, Thus, there is a 70 year period in which the Arab people will enforce a desolate Jerusalem. In my opinion this period is from May 14 1948 to May 14, 2018.
v. 24-25, Then 70 weeks are determined to finish the reconciliation.
v. 25, To begin, there is a period of 7 weeks and 62 weeks for a total of 69 weeks.
v. 26, After the 69 weeks the temple is fully functional and it is here at week 70 that the messiah will be cut off meaning in my opinion that the two witnesses are killed (Rev. 11:7). At the end of that 70th week the two witnesses are resurrected.

Thus, the daily sacrifice is the functional temple at the 70 week mark.
From the time the daily sacrifice (functioning temple) is taken away (Dan. 12:12) meaning the 70th week, there shall be 1,335 days to the end.

v. 27, Now working backwards, since 70 weeks is 490 days, and added to that is 1,335 days (Dan. 12:12), then there are 1,825 days from the end to the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem.
Since 7 years is 2,555 days then removing 1,825 days from that leaves 730 days.
That is, somewhere in the calculation 730 days must be added to arrive at the full seven years. 

In conclusion: The tribulation starts, then after 7 weeks is the rapture, then an intermission of 730 within which the order to rebuild Jerusalem is given, then the 62 weeks begin for the total of 69 weeks, and then one remaining week for the 70 weeks to completed and the daily sacrifice (of labor) is finished/over. Then there is another 1335 days to the ending (Dan. 12:12). Total time is: 49 days (7 weeks) + 730 days (intermission) + 434 days (62 weeks) + 7 days (1 week) + 1,335 days = 7 years.
