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.”
