Appendix: The Calculation of the ‘69 Weeks’[i]

   PROPHETIC TIME: (Daniel 7:25; 9:27; 12:7; Revelation 11:2-3;
12:6, 14; 13:5) “Time, times and half a time” = ½ “Week” = 3 ½ Years = 42 months = 1260 days; Therefore:
      One Month = 30 days; One Year = 360 days

      69 “WEEKS” X 7 YEARS/“WEEK” =483 YEARS X 360

      DAYS/PROPHETIC YEAR =173,880 DAYS

 

“Decree to … rebuild Jerusalem”  Nehemiah 2:1-8 445BC NISAN 1st, or March 14

“Until Messiah the Prince” Matthew 21:1-11 Mark 11:1-11 Luke 19:28-40 John 12:12-16 AD32 10th NISAN, or APRIL 6

 

   CALENDAR TIME: 

      445BC - AD32 = 476YEARS

         (445+32 = 477; BUT FOR NO “ZERO” YEAR: -1 =476)

         476 x 365 DAYS/YEAR (Julian) = 173,740

                        +116 DAYS (Leap) = 173,856 

      (476/4 =119; BUT FOR “NATURAL” TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY YEARS: -3 =116)

      FROM MARCH 14 to APRIL 6

         (31 DAYS IN MARCH - 14=17, + 6 DAYS OF APRIL = 23, BUT COUNT “INCLUSIVELY”: +1  = 24)

                        +24 DAYS,

      FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF = 173,880 DAYS!

NOTE: Galatians 4:4; “But when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law that we might receive the adoption as sons.”
