130+105+90+70+65+162+65+187+182+600 = 1656 years at Flood of Noah
4003-1656 = 2347 B.C. year of the Flood

| Adam first man created | Methuselah last in lineage to die year of Flood (except Noah)|
| 🠇 | 🠇 |
| 0+930 = 930 | 1656-969 = 687 |

| Hebrew year tradition calculation: 930-687 = 243. Or calculated: 930+969 = 1899-1656 = 243. |
| 4003-243 = 3760 add 1 to include year 4003 to be 3761 B.C. 1st Hebrew year by tradition. |
| The apparent reasoning of the speculation is to lock-in the creation date of 4003 B.C.; |
| also part of the speculation is that the creation began on Tishri 1 in the Fall. |
Perspective is in the Fall -- Tishri Jewish month
4003/4002 -- year of creation.
3761/3760 -- 1st Hebrew year by tradition as from above calculations.

"The word that came to Jeremiah concerning
all the people of Judah in the fourth year
of Jehiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon." Jeremiah 25:1.
The fourth year of king Jehoikim is 526 B.C. -- 4 years
529 B.C. to 526 B.C.
Adding the kings of Judah up to the fourth year of Jehoikim's reign:
17+3+41+25+8+1+6+40+29+52+16+16+29+55+2+31+(.5)+4 = 375.5
So from the first king of Judah to the fourth year of Jehoikim's reign
is 375.5 years this calculated: 900-375.5 = 524.5 B.C.
Add 1 to include year 900 then: 524.5+1 = 525.5 B.C.
🠇
525.5 B.C. -- 1st year of captivity
The King of Babylon -- Seventy years Captivity of the Jews
"Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king
of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and
against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment,
and an hissing, and perpetual desolations." Jeremiah 25:9. This 525.5 B.C.
"And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king
of Babylon seventy years." Jeremiah 25:11.
Seventy years of Capitivity
🠇 🠇
"And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished that I will punish the king of Babylon,
and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it
perpetual desolations." Jeremiah 25:12.
And so the calculation: 525.5-70 = 455.5
Adding 1 to include year 525.5 B.C., then
455.5+1 = 456.5 B.C.
🠇
456.5 B.C. -- End of Babylonian Captivity of the Jews
(By the Mede-Persian conquest).
456.5 -- last year of seventy year captivity.
456.5 -- also 1st year of reign of Cyrus king of Persia.
456.5 -- also 1st year of reign of Darius the Mede "king
over the realm of the Chaldeans." Daniel 9:1.
Also, Darius is the one who took the kingdom:
"And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being
threescore and two years old." Daniel 5:31.

also ref. 2 Chronicles 36:22-23). (This decree fulfilled Daniel's prophecy in the 2nd verse below).

Introduction to the Prophecy of the Seventy Weeks of Years
Calculation for the weeks comes out of the Book of Leviticus 25:8
Most Amazing Prophecy: given by the angel Gabriel to Daniel.
seventy weeks: 70 * 7 = 490 years
seven weeks: 7 * 7 = 49 years
sixty-weeks: 62 * 7 = 434 years
one week: 1 * 7 = 7 years
threescore and two weeks: means 62 weeks
seven weeks plus sixty-two weeks: is 69 weeks
midst of a week: is half a week
added together: 69.5 weeks (sixty-nine and a half)
49 + 434 = 483 years
483 + 3.5 = 486.5 years
483 + 7 = 490 years
Seventy Weeks of Years leads to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ

456.5 B.C -- the date for end of the
Babylonian Captivity.
456.5 - 49 + 1 = 408.5 B.C.:
The street and the wall finished.
These seven weeks were completed.
The Sixty-two Weeks
After that: 62 weeks equals 434 years
These sixty-two weeks were completed
directly after the seven weeks.
62 weeks + 7 weeks = 69 weeks
This results in:
434 years + 49 years = 483 years
So all 483 years have been completed.
This to calculate involves going across
into A.D which to calculate:
434 - 407.5 = 26.5 A.D. the beginnning
of Jesus' ministry since announcing
Messiah. The ministry lasted 3.5 years
to calculate:
26.5 + 3.5 = 30 A.D. the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ.
Another way to calculate this calculation
is by this form:
456.5 + 30 = 486.5 years which is 69.5
weeks completed.
One-half week YET to be completed for
the end of the age: 3.5 years.

The Last Week
"And he (Jesus Christ) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: This is the last week: the seventyenth week.
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation -- Jesus is baptised; the Holy Ghost descends

when the last half of the week ensues the

This leaving one-half week (3.5 years) YET to be fulfilled
Jesus was born proposedly: In Fall year 5 B.C.
The "wise men from the east" evidently
had predicted the exact birth time of the
Messiah. (Matthew 2:1). Jesus was thirty
years old at the beginning of his ministry;
and was crucified at thirty-three and a
half years old. (ref. Luke 3:23).
"Hour has come" (John 13:1)
"Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall
give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when
he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon.
"And after the sop Satan entered into him.
Then said unto him, That thou doest, do it
quickly." (John 13:26-27).
Crucifixion: April 6, 30 A.D.
(69.5 weeks in completion: 486.5 years)
One-half week YET to be fulfilled to complete
the Seventyenth Week: 3.5 years; "and to
