If you can make that translation fit history, more power to you. In the past 2000 years, no one else has. My interpretation fits both Scripture and history. It is correct. @ Willaim … If you can make that translation fit history, more power to you. In the past 2000 years, no one else has. My interpretation fits both Scripture and history. It is correct.

In my opinion it does not represent a reasonable interpretation of the available Scriptural evidence. Your interpretation of a verse does not make it any more the word of God than does mine. You made an important statement: “….but I remind you that that is not what God said through the prophet Daniel in verse 25. I’ll stick with what the biblical text states, that the key time-location events are the decree of Caesar in 44 BCE and the building of the broad place and moat in 43 BCE.” I have included Daniel 9:25 below just to be perfectly clear just “what the biblical text states”. Right or wrong the rest is just opinion. Daniel 9:25 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Regards, Bill Hi Dan,

I'll stick with what the biblical text states, that the key time-location events are the decree of Caesar in 44 BCE and the building of the broad place and moat in 43 BCE. If you will read chapters six and seven in my book (link given above), you will see just how precisely the interpretation I have given fits recorded history and the Scriptures. May God bless your search for understanding. @ William … You say that building the Temple is the de facto event in building Jerusalem, but I remind you that that is not what God said through the prophet Daniel in verse 25.
