1. Daniel 9:25 prophesied the year, month, day and hour of Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. “Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah the Prince shall be 7 weeks and 62 weeks.” Daniel 9:25. 1 Week = 7 years. i) 360 days /Jewish year in Genesis 7:24 (150 days) = 5 months from 2nd to 7th months (Gen 7:11; 8:4). in Revelation 11:3 and 12:6 (1260 days) = 42 months (11:2 and 13:5) = 3.5 years (12:14 T,2T, ½T). in ancient India, China, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Egypt, Maya, Arabs 12 x 30 day/month = 360 day/yr ii) 
69 Weeks start on 10pm 4 March 444 BC being Artaxerxes’ Command to rebuild Jerusalem: “in the month Nisan, in the 20th year of Artaxerxes the king (Neh 2:1)…send me to Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it (5)…the king granted me” (Nehemiah 2:1,5,8).1483 Artaxerxes (Ardeshir) became king after his father, Xerxes (husband of Esther) died on 17 Dec 465 BC. Since Persia used the accession year dating system, Artaxerxes first year reign was Nisan 464-Nisan 463.

►So the 20th year of Artaxerxes reign in Nehemiah 1:1 and 2:1 was Nisan 444 BC– Nisan 443 BC. The crescent of the new moon of 1st Nisan appeared at 7pm 4 March 444BC. Decree given at 10pm. ►From 10pm 4 March 444BC, add 69 x 7 years = 483 years. 

Since 360 days in a Jewish prophetic year, number of days from 10pm 4 March 444 BC to Messiah the Prince entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday = 69 x 7 years x 360 days/year = 173,880 days. ►Convert 173,880 days to 365.2422 day years = 173,880 days/ 365.2422 days/year = 476.06766 years. ►Add 476.06766 years to 10pm 4 March 444BC = - 444 + 476.06766 = 32.06766. There is no year zero. 1BC + 1 year = 1AD. So add 1+32.06766 = 33.06766. Jesus entered Jerusalem in 33AD + 0.06766 year

►How many days is 0.06766 year? 0.06766 year x 365.2422 days/year = 24.7 days. (0.7 day = 17 hour). ►Add 24.7 days to 10pm 4 March = 3pm 29 March 33AD as the day that Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to offer Himself as King to Israel. Israel rejected Jesus.

 

The clock stopped at 69 weeks on 29 March 33AD. “Messiah was cut off (killed)” Daniel 9:26. The church age started. Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed in 70AD (Daniel 9:26). 
1 week of 7 years tribulation remain (27)=Rev 4-19 Luke 19:41-44. Jesus rebuked Israel for not knowing “this thy day” (41) and “time of thy visitation” (44) 

2 This means that Jesus died on Friday 3 April 33AD which should have been a full moon because Jesus died at Passover, fulfilling the Passover lamb’s blood being shed to save the first-born. 

Exod 12:6-13 Israel had a lunar calendar. The 14th day of a lunar month was a full moon (Exodus 12:6; Leviticus 23:5). “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.” I Cor 5:7. 

Q1: Was Friday 3 April 33AD a full moon? YES ! Year New Moon First Quarter Full Moon Last Quarter 0033 Jan 4 10:15 Jan 12 15:25 Jan 19 16:10 Jan 26 07:52 Feb 3 04:22 Feb 11 07:43 Feb 18 01:49 Feb 24 20:21 Mar 4 22:21 Mar 12 19:38 Mar 19 10:39 T Mar 26 10:34 Apr 3 14:52 p Apr 11 03:46 Matthew 27:46-50 tells the exact year, month, day, hour and minute of Jesus’ death on Good Friday. 

​

Q2: What time did Jesus die on Friday 3 April 33AD? “About the ninth hour (3pm)” Matthew 27:46.

http://www.astropixels.com/ephemeris/phasescat/phases0033 (http://www.astropixels.com/ephemeris/phasescat/phases0033) software says full moon 14.52 = 2.52 pm 3Ap 33 •Jesus died on Friday (prep) being “the day before the Sabbath” Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54-56; John 19:31. 
Conc: 4 prophecies of Daniel 9:24-26. Messiah came 3pm Sunday 29 March 33AD, Messiah killed at 2.52pm Friday 3 April 33AD, Jerusalem and Temple destroyed (70AD). Jesus is Messiah. Bible is true. Jews are wrong in rejecting Jesus. Quran is wrong denying Jesus’ death (Q4:157,8). Atheists are wrong. 
 

3. When was Jesus Born? On Tuesday 17 June 2 BC, Jupiter and Venus were close together appearing as one brilliant star in the constellation Leo. 
The wise men said “We have seen his star in the east” Mat2:2 If Jesus was born in 2BC, He was 1 in 1BC, 2 in 1AD, age 34 in June 33AD, and age 33 on 3 April 33AD. This confirms Luke 3:23, Jesus being “about 30 years of age” at his baptism at the start of his 3 year work See youtube: “Jesus Christ’s Date of Birth = 17 June 2BC Christopher Hughes”.

4. John Baptized Jesus “in the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar” Luke 3:1. When was this? TC accession year starts 19 August 14AD. TC year 1 started 1 Jan 15AD. TC 15th year starts 1 Jan 29AD. So Jesus turned 30 at his baptism in 29AD and age 33 on 17 June 32 AD.

 

Q: How did the Bible know the exact year, month, day, hour of Jesus entering Jerusalem as 3pm Sunday 29 March 33AD, foretold in Daniel 9:25,26 and the exact minute of Jesus’ death 2.52pm 3 April 33AD?
