The Meaning of 69-weeks of Daniel Prophecy!

Daniel prophetic scriptures and message remain one of the most studied part of the entire Bible. This book of scriptures puzzles Bible scholars because of its accuracy and the fulfilment of this prophecies in our time. The 69th week of the 70-weeks prophecy can be interpreted as 483 years of lunar calendar date. In Jewish calendar, a week simply means 7 years and this means 69 x 7 years which equals to 483 years. More so, this date coincide with the year Jesus Christ was anointed Messiah by John the baptist in river Jordan in 27 AD if the year Jerusalem restoration is considered. Similarly, the 483 years of Daniel prophecy begins when the commandment to restore Jerusalem was given by Cyrus in 457 BC and climaxed in 27 AD when Christ was anointed, thereby equating the timing of 483 years.
