This is so inaccurate on so many levels.........egads.
Another perspective on which uses:
1) the Masoretic break after verse 25
2) 365 day solar years
3) Cyrus as one of the anoint-eds

Isaac Newton has an interpretation also.
THANKS.
PING TO END TIMES LIST FYI
bump for index
Daniel’s vision has been interpreted with various methods of calculation from the time in the second rebuilding of the temple by Nehemiah in 445 B.C. to a later tangible crucifixion year in the ‘cutting off ‘ of the Messiah.
OK, I've got a good idea where this is coming from. Likely, bog standard dispensationalism. If that's not where you're going, well, please excuse me.
If you pick just the right starting point, and do the math juuuust right, you land at Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem in 33 AD. It's complicated and fragile, and, according to a Jewish commenter in a previous thread where this came up (maybe Topcat54 will have that bookmarked) makes incorrect assumptions about how the ancient Jewish year went.
And, it completely fails to take into account what's happening in the first half of Daniel 9.
