The Fulfillment:

Luke 2:1-7 KJV B.C. 5 (Christ at 30 years of age began His ministry.)

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her Firstborn son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Luke 3:21-23 KJV

21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

22 And The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like A Dove upon Him, and A Voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art My Beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

23 And Jesus Himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed)

The Son Of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

From the command to restore Jerusalem, to the coming of The Messiah, was to be 69 weeks (483 years).

Numbers 14:34 NLT

“Because your men explored the land for forty days, you must wander in the wilderness for forty years—a year for each day, suffering the consequences of your sins. Then you will discover what it is like to have Me for an enemy.’

1 day = 1 year

1 week = 7 years

7 weeks = 49 years

62 weeks = 434 years

If we count backwards from the beginning of The Lord's ministry, we will confirm the date to restoring Jerusalem.

The commandment to restore was given in 457 B.C. (Ezra 7:11-26), if we add our Lord's 30 years, we have 487 years.

Our Gregorian calendar is off by some 4 years, subtract this and we arrive at 483 years, which is some 69 weeks. (Exactly as Gabriel stated.)

The last 70^th week yet to be fulfilled.

Daniel 9:25 EXB

Learn and understand these things. A command will come to rebuild Jerusalem.

The time from this command until the ·appointed leader (The Messiah) comes will be ·forty-nine years and four hundred thirty-four years (483 years – 69 weeks)

Jerusalem will be ·rebuilt and with ·streets and a ·trench filled with water around it

but it will be built in times of ·trouble.
