Read the first part of the chapter. The prophecy of the seventy weeks is all about deliverance from sin.Nothing in Daniel 9 says anything about delivering from sin.
Dan 9:24 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.
Dan 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. The numbers in the prophecy are symbolic designed to pin point the timing of the Messiah's arrival which places it at the generation when Jesus began His ministry.
