Should have used B.C. and A.D. instead of common era.

Actually though, I've heard of this and do find it exciting.

Well, if you're Hal Lindsey, maybe you should use BC and AD. But if you're attempting to show any semblance of objectivity, you'd better use BCE and CE.

More on topic anyway.

It occurred in Tiberius, the site of the Sanhedrin's last meeting in AD 425 4185.

The Sanhedrin, a religious assembly that convened in one of the Holy Temple chambers in Jerusalem [before AD 70 3830], comprised 71 sages and existed during the Tannaitic period, from several decades before the Common Era until roughly 425 C.E 4185.
