Refinements to the 70-weeks timeline

[Christian Gedge]

Here is my timeline and dates for Daniels 70-weeks prophecy.

As you can see, its very similar to the usual historicist view but 6 months earlier. I accept the 457 BC date being Artaxerxes' 7th year (per Hebrew reckoning), but I have some related questions.

Question 1 What month of 457 BC do we identify as the terminus a quo of Daniels weeks?

I don't know if I ever even saw this thread... so getting here kind of late.

I think the usual statement is that it is basically from "day of Atonement" in 457 to "day of atonement" in 1844 , some 2300 years later and so given that it is the same start date for th 490 years - it is still around the time of "Day of Atonement" in 457 B.C.
