No friend, it is much deeper. It speaks of the time span for the Jews to repent and expect the Messiah to appear. It speaks of his death and the message going to the Gentiles. It says when to look for the Christ of God.

Daniel 9 speaks about
TWO messiahs, the first one to appear 49 years after the outgoing of the word:
"The Hebrew text says: "from the outgoing of the word restore and to built Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks shall the street be built again and the wall, even in troubled times." The 7 weeks and the 62 weeks are not connected in the text. It makes no sense to connect them, because when the Bible wants to give a time period of 69 weeks, why should it write then 7 weeks and 62 weeks, instead of 69 weeks? Therefore the Revised Standard Version says: "from the going forth of the word to restore and built Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again, with squares and moat, …." The RSV has it right. Just like the RSV is correct in Isaiah 7:14; 'young woman' instead of 'virgin'.
The King James in itself gives an reasonable literal translation of these verses as far as the time frames are concerned, except for the colon, the two dots on top of each other, right after the words 'three score and two weeks:' This colon is not to be found in the original text of Daniel. Read now the KJV text without this colon: "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to built 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." Here you see that without that colon inserted by the translators the KJV says basically the same as the RSV. Now you might understand why there is a big "King James only" movement. When you read the Bible in an accurate translation, Christianity already starts to fall apart.
And also "The Message" translates this correct: "Here is what you must understand: From the time the word goes out to rebuild Jerusalem until the coming of the Anointed Leader, there will be seven sevens. The rebuilding will take sixty-two sevens, including building streets and digging a moat. Those will be rough times."
And also the English Standard Version translates this correct: "Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time."
"from the going forth of the word to restore and built Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks." So seven prophetic weeks after the outgoing of the word, this is 49 years, a messiah has to come already. What is the outgoing of the word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem? The first one who spoke about the Jewish people returning from exile and rebuilding Jerusalem was the prophet Jeremiah, who prophesized this in the beginning of the Babylonian exile. It was his prophecies which Daniel was studying when he got the vision under discussion, see the beginning of Daniel 9. So from the outgoing of that word, until messiah the prince, would be seven weeks."
And then another messiah would be cut off and have nothing, after the 69 weeks.

Daniel 9
To see it will require you to open your thoughts past your traditions.
"Serve
Y-H-W-H!
And if it seems evil to you to serve
Y-H-W-H, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.
But as for me and my house, we will serve
Y-H-W-H!.”
Joshua 24:14-15
