Thank for posting this. I will comment upon the date 444 B.C. Some interpretations of the 20th year of the reign implies 445 BC, which leads to the date of the event from Luke 19 as April 6, 32. A.D.
I have also written and taught about this remarkable passage. I invite you to check out the 1st two links at
DanielChapterNine.com. The 1st is my own article about Daniel's 70 weeks, which also leans heavily on Anderson's book. The second link is from a fascinating interview with Pastor Nathan Leal concerning a different understanding of the Abomination of Desolation. I think Nathan's comments are very important. A transcript is found at that link along with a link to the original audio if you prefer to listen.
God Bless
P.S.To those that frequently throw out the "day or the hour" stuff, read the rest of the passage. You totally miss interpret its meaning when you imply we should not look to the fulfillment of the prophet - WATCH! is the message ...
32 'But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.
34 It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake.
35 Therefore stay awake for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning
36 lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.
37 And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.' -- Mark 13:32-37
