Nak (Matai)-

Too bad Jesus doesn't fit Daniel 9. Or the next verse after the donkey-prophecy in Zechariah 9. You know, the MAJOR prophecy. ;)

Your starting date does not include Cyrus, who is clearly identified in scripture as God's annointed and who historically arrived on the scene 7 weeks after Jeremiah's word. Of course, including Cyrus has the 490 years ending about 130 years too early for your candidate.

And then the end of this prophecy has the 2nd annointed dying at the same time the temple falls, which is about 40 years or 5-6 weeks too late for you, since Jesus didn't live that extra 40 years.

Either way, Jesus does not fit within Daniel's 70 week timeline without S T R E T C H I N G the timeline well past 490 years.

Besides, what evidence do you have that Jesus fulfilled this prophecy? Did he fulfill it according to Dougg's interpretation?
