Dan 9:24-27 w/ Neh 2:4-8 7 weeks = 49 years62 weeks = 434 years69 weeks = 483 years
Dan 9:24-27 w/ Neh 2:4-8 70 weeks = 490 years490 - 483 = 7 years left(Tribulation)
Neh 2:4-8 w/ Dan 9:24-267 weeks = 49 years62 weeks = 434 years69 weeks = 483 years483 yrs. x 360 days/year = 173,880 days(360 day Jewish calendar)Nisan 1 (March 14), 445 BC to April 6, 32 AD Palm Sunday “Cutting off of Messiah” = 173,880 days
March 14, 445 BC to March 14, 32 AD is 476 † years of 365 days or 173,740 days.Add 24 days from March 14, to April 6, (Palm Sunday). Add back the 116 ‡ leap days. 173,740 + 24+ 116 173,880†Since only one year expired between 1 B.C and A.D. 1, the total is 476, not 477. ‡A total of 476 years divided by four (a leap year every four years) gives 119 additional days. But three days must be subtracted from 119 because centennial years are not leap years, though every 400th year is a leap year.
