Alright i will expound an absolute astounding prophecy from the Old Testament known as Daniel's 70 weeks.
This is a timeline until the Messiah as given by the angel Gabriel and written down by Daniel in about 539 BC.
“Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the wall,
Even in troublesome times." - Daniel 9:25
See "seven weeks and sixty-two weeks" until the Messiah counting "from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem". In the Book of Nehemiah it is reported that king Artaxerxes of Persia gave the command to rebuild Jerusalem.
"And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes,.....
Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?”
Then the king said to me, “What do you request?” So I prayed to the God of heaven. And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.” - Nehemiah 2
So "seven weeks and sixty-two weeks" until the Messiah counting from Nisan 444 BC.
What was translated as "weeks" is the Hebrew word "shabuwa" which means "sevenfold" and is in the Bible used both of seven days and seven years.
So "seven seven years and sixty-two seven years" until the Messiah from Nisan 444 BC.
Not solar years as the first time the word was used in the Bible was when Jacob laboured seven years for his uncle Laban about 4000 years ago in order to marry Rachel... but 360 weeks as in counting the Creation week 360 times which is approximately seven solar years.
So "7*360 + 62*360 = 24 840 weeks" until the Messiah counting from Nisan 444 BC.
Well that timeline is fulfilled on Nisan in 33 AD.
So about 500 years before Christ which is greek for Messiah was born... the angel Gabriel gave the exact timeline and Daniel wrote it down.
This is a timeline until the Messiah as given by the angel Gabriel and written down by Daniel in about 539 BC.
