As everyone can see, artexerxes 1 started his reign in 465 bc
According to scripture, the command to restore jerusalem was in 20th year of Artexerxes
Nehemiah 2:1–6 (NKJV): And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before. 2 Therefore the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart.”
So I became dreadfully afraid, 3 and said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?”
4 Then the king said to me, “What do you request?”
So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight,
I ask that you send me to Judah, to the
city of my fathers’ tombs, that
I may rebuild it.”
6 Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), “How long will your journey be? And when will you return?” So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
So the 70 weeks starts 475 + 20years = 445 BC
69 weeks = 483 years covert to roman years = 476 years
The end of the 69 week is 32 Ad. Jesus dies most people believe 32 Ad,
Either waym if 69 week is 32 ad, the end of the 70th = 39ad
What happened in 7 years from 32to 39ad that fulfilled the 70 weeks
