In 1 kings 6:1 we read
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
What this is saying that I have always thought important is that after 476 years King David –a type of Christ who ruled for 33 years over the united kingdom died -just as Christ died after 33 years. Further after 476 years Solomon- the son- began his reign which is a type of the millennial reign
So we have 476 years to type of Christ dying
We have 476 years to type of millennial reign.
Both types of Daniels 69 weeks.
According to historians Nehemiah 2:1 =20th years of Artaxerxes-was 444 bc. I believe Christ died and resurrected 33 ad-matching the witness of the 202nd Olympiad.
444 bc to 33 ad is 476 years
69 weeks of 360 day”prophetic years”= 476.06 years
Something so perfect it has to be true-Christ fulfilled the 1st 69 weeks of years.
We have the 2nd 69 weeks of years coming true form Suileman rebuilding Jerusalem to June 7, 1967 to Sept 23, 2015.
This last 69 weeks we can clearly see being broken into the 62 weeks and 7 weeks.
But what about the first one. I find this so interesting, Everything God puts in the bible, he does so for a reason.
This is recorded at the first Passover in John at the beginning of Jesus 3 year ministry.
John 2:20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
So if 46 years to beginning of Jesus ministry and 3 more years to death we have 49 years-and quite possibly 7 weeks. Maybe the first 69 weeks was also divided into 62 and 7 weeks
