I believe it was to the Gentiles, because he was memorialized as a pope. Also, he was crucified in Rome.
I'm working on the exact same project...
I know this isn't too helpful, but I think each 'seven' mentioned is possibly a time...
seven 'sevens' = 7 weeks
sixty-two 'sevens' = 62 weeks, over a year
Again I'm sorry this isn't too helpful...
Answer: e. church elders lacked tolerance.
Explanation: Anne Hutchinson was a preacher in Massachusetts in the the 17th Century. She believed in creating a direct relationship with God rather than going through the church or its representatives. Puritan elders found Anne’s preaching radical and inappropriate because of her gender. In 1637, she was tried before a general court and when she gave a statement about talking to God, she was called a heretic and banished.
The elders lacked tolerance for changes to the norm and did not welcome anyone who challenged their authority.
