Interesting!  While I had considered September 23, 2015 for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, I had not considered it for the Rapture.  And while I agree it fulfills the 7 week delineation of the 70 week prophecy of Daniel, leaving the last week to be fulfilled in the future, I had not considered the last week to be fulfilled immediately after the 7 weeks.  (Upon closer examination of your timeline you have Daniel's 70th week slightly overlapping Daniel's 63rd through 69th week by 5 months.  Interesting.)

In other words, my thoughts had been:.

2000 year Current Age ending September 23, 2015 and ending Daniel's 63rd through 69th week
1000 year Future Age who's ending will start Daniel's 70th week
(Jesus Christ's 1000 year reign does not contain any of Daniel's 70 weeks determined for Israel, but are bookmarked by divisions set forth in it)

Versus your:

2000 year Current Age ending September 23, 2015 and ending Daniel's 63rd through 69th week
April 23, 2015 starts Daniel's 70th week
(I don't know if I'd agree that Daniel's 70th week can overlap with Daniel's 69th week)

Something I wanted to really really commend you for was pointing out that 44 AD was when Paul had the vision of the sheet and that this marked the beginning of the times of the Gentiles.  Which taking 2000 prophetic years brings us to 44 AD + 1971 years = 2015 AD.  Everything to me seemed to point to the End of This Age being in 2015 AD except no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the "2000 year" current Age to end on 2015.  This was the last piece of the puzzle.  Many Thanks!!  I plan to acknowledge your contribution in solving this puzzle in an update to my website.

Also, your thoughts about the rebuilding of Jerusalem in Chapter 11 not being actually dated which can bring 62 weeks to an end at the birth of Christ, is very good.  It makes a lot of sense that NONE of the 70 weeks determined FOR Israel can be during the times the Messiah is on earth.  62 weeks of years however for consistency should be prophetic years which would be 434 * 360 / 365.2422 = 428 years. 

Something I wanted to also point out is that September 23, 2015 cannot be both Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana at the same time.  Yom Kippur, usually associated with His second coming is September 23rd in 2015.  Rosh Hashana, usually associated with the Rapture as the day no one knows, would be 9 days earlier on September 14th in 2015.

Anyway, those are my "thoughts and responses" on the subject.  If you haven't read my free e-book exploring September 23, 2015 for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and are interested, it is at www.EndofAge.com.
