“Traditional” Teaching Says: From Nehemiah’s Trigger Point to Messiah Being “cut off”: 7 + 62 = 69 Shmitah Years Adjusting: 360 Day Years & No Year 0 445 BC + 69 Shmitahs = 32 AD!

62 Shmitah Years to Yeshua’s 1st Coming In Order to End at 30 AD: 62 X 7 = 434 Years “Adjust” Start Date to 405 BC (The Next Jubilee after 445 BC)
SLIDE 20
The Jubilee Hypothesis
7 Jubilee Weeks to Yeshua’s 2nd Coming Starting at 405 BC: 7 X 7 X 49 = 2,401Years (& Adjusting for No Year 0) Yeshua’s Return = 2027 + 70th Week (7 Years) = 2034
