The Coming Prince states that the additional days are 24 days. Consequently, Sir Robert Anderson concludes that Daniel’s prophecy of 483 biblical years is 476 years and 24 days in the Julian calendar.[4] Nor, again, was this a special grace accorded only to apostles. "To them that have obtained like precious faith with us," (2 Peter 1:1) v26: “And after the 62 weeks (after 483 years) the Messiah shall be cut off (by capital punishment), but not for Himself (or: ‘but He shall have nothing, His kingdom will be unrealised’); and the people (Romans) of the prince who is to come (antichrist) shall destroy the city (Jerusalem) and the sanctuary (the Temple) the end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined (fulfilled AD 66-73).” Two notable books have been published on Daniel’s prophecy of 70 weeks and the death of the Messiah predicted in Daniel 9:24-26. The first important book is The Coming Prince, authored by Sir Robert Anderson. The second notable book is The Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ, authored by Harold Hoehner. The calculations given by both men and the calculations presented in my document titled, Prophecy of Daniel’s 70 Weeks are similar. There are three parts to their date calculations: 1) the end date or the fulfillment date of the prophecy, 2) the length of time predicted between the start and end dates 3) and then the start date of the prophecy. Three Calculations of the 70 Weeks of Daniel

and St. Paul's words are still more definite. "Our Gospel came not: untoyou in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Ghost." [ 8 ]The Coming Prince" is a classic interpretation of theprophecies of Daniel, especially the ninth chapter. Concerning Daniel's Seventy Weeks,Anderson wrote: "The only inquiry, therefore, which concerns us relates to the nature of the crisis [i.e., the Judgment of the Earth] and the time of its fulfilment [i.e., the duration of the Tribulation and especially the Second Coming of the LORD Jesus Christ] . And the key to this inquiry is the Prophet Daniel's vision of the seventy weeks." v25: “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the (Divine) command (‘dabar’) to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be 7 weeks (49 years) and 62 weeks (434 years); (making a total of 483 years). God is omnipresent; but there is a real sense in which the Father and the Son are not on earth but in heaven, and in that same sense the Holy Spirit is not in heaven but on earth.

These two sets of 7 years concerning Israel are prefigured in Typology by the two periods of 7 years Jacob had to work for a wife and by Joseph’s 7 years of plenty and famine: Wrong kind of year. Like Anderson Hoehner uses the 360 day year which have previously shown to be in error. When the 483 biblical years or 173,880 days are converted from the biblical calendar into the solar calendar calendar, all three documents conclude that the days correspond to 476 years plus some additional days. The Coming Prince, The Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ and Prophecy of Daniel’s 70 Weeks [6] all understand that the start date begins with Artaxerxes’ Decree to “restore and rebuild Jerusalem.” Nehemiah 2:1-8 states that the decree occurred in the twentieth year of the king’s reign.[7] However the documents disagree about the actual calendar date of the decree. In The Coming Prince, Sir Robert Anderson states that the start date is 14 March 445 B.C. He is off by one year which resulted in a one year shift in his end date calculation. Anderson, Robert (1907). "Criminals and crime: some facts and suggestions". London, Nisbet . Retrieved 26 August 2022.Representative Men at Home: Dr. Anderson at New Scotland Yard", from Cassell's Saturday Journal, 11 June 1892, as reprinted in Ripper Notes, July 2004 Therefore, the correction to computerized Hebrew software calculations requires that 29 days are added, which means the start date is 1 Adar II 444 B.C. When we do this we discover that 1 Adar II 1, 444 B.C. corresponds to 27 February 444 B.C. in the Gregorian calendar. The date of 27 February 444 B.C. is the actual start date of the prophecy. Serious Errors In the 70 Weeks of Daniel Calculations

This means that the 490 years come to a fitting climax at the death and resurrection of Christ. The 490 years of Daniel 9:24 speak of a Great Jubilee Cycle (10 Jubilees) and so it is a great confirmation that the greatest Jubilee of all (even the fulfilment of all Jubilees - the Cross and Resurrection) took place at the end of a Great Jubilee Cycle. Whereas if the Cross was only after 483 years this would not be true. Only the death and resurrection of Christ form a fitting climax to the 70 Weeks and the calculation works to the very day! In fact the first three of the six supreme messianic accomplishments that v24 tells us should be acheived by the end of the 70th Week were fulfilled at the Cross. Thus we see that by letting all 70 Weeks run their course we get an impressive prophecy of what the Messiah would accomplish in His First Coming, at the climax of the 490 years, and it accurately predicts this to the very day! However, we must also admit there is much in the prophecy that has not been fulfilled in the 490 years from 458BC-33AD, and that the events of the 70th Week are still in the future (v27) How can the prophecy of v24 be fulfilled when the 490 years have passed and the Kingdom not yet established? Wrong kind of year. Anderson's theory relies on using a 360-day year, which he calls a "prophetic year." Now this can’t be right, because this is a prophecy specifically about Israel and would use the kind of year used by Israel, which was a luni-solar year which always stay aligned with the seasons for agricultural and ceremonial reasons (the feasts were connected to their seasons), so that the Passover (14th Nisan) was always kept in the Spring (after the Vernal Equinox on March 20/21st) according to the Biblical requirement (this fact will prove important shortly). Therefore the Jewish year averaged 365.242 days, not 360 days. Anyone reading this prophecy including Daniel would have understood that this kind of year was intended, rather than a 360 day year which Israel never used. Prophecy is not given to enable us to prophesy, but as a witness to God when the time comes." – PUSEY, Daniel, p. 80. The 1st Nisan in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes (the edict to rebuild Jerusalem) was 14th March, B. C. 445.

It was Sir Edward Denney who discerned the brilliant solution. According to v24, Jesus Christ was ready to fulfil the whole prophecy in 490 years which involved purchasing our salvation and establishing His Kingdom of righteousness on earth (the suffering and the glory). However Israel’s rejection of Him as their Messiah-King meant that although He could fulfil the Salvation aspects in His First Coming by His death and resurrection (and did so on time), He was unable to establish His Kingdom at that time. This is indicated in Daniel 9:26: “He shall be cut off but have nothing”, that is, His Kingdom shall be unrealised. Thus He fulfilled the first 3 (Salvation) aspects of v24, but He will only fulfil the second 3 (Kingdom) aspects at His 2nd Coming at the end of the future 70th Week described in v27. How can the 70th Week be past and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled? How can we explain this paradox? The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times (fulfilled in the time of Ezra-Nehemiah).” In the midst of error and confusion and uncertainty, increasing on every side,can earnest and devout souls turn to an open Bible, and find there "words ofeternal life"? "The rational attitude of a thinking mind towards the supernaturalis that of skepticism." [ 7 ] His 6 April A.D. 32 date is in the Julian calendar. The date in the Gregorian calendar is April 4, A.D. 32. But the major issue is that his end date is in the wrong year. That science and criticism, acting – thanks to the liberty of opinion won by political effort – with a freedom never known before, have delivered us from a mass of dark and degrading superstitions, we own with heartfelt thankfulness to the deliverers, and in the firm conviction that the removal of false beliefs, and of the authorities or institutions founded on them, cannot prove in the end anything but a blessing to mankind. But at the same time the foundations of general morality have inevitably been shaken, and a crisis has been brought on, the gravity of which nobody can fail to see, and nobody but a fanatic of materialism can see without the most serious misgiving.
