BEGINNING OUR CALCULATION OF THE 69 WEEKS OR 69 'SEVENS' OF YEARS.

The reason Scotland Yard Inspector Sir Robert Anderson cracked the case of the Seventy weeks where others had failed, (including the brilliant scientist Sir Isaac Newton), is that He knew and loved God and he was diligent in the Holy Scriptures. Anderson discovered that the Biblical or Prophetic Year as dispensed to us from the throne of God and into prophetic scripture is a divine unit of 360 Days. It is not the 365.2422 day solar year we now see in this present fallen cosmos. See the YouTube videos 10a and 10b.

Once we have calibrated our time units for the 'years' of the latter half of the 70th week as 360 day years, (see Article #4 - Biblical Time), we can now readily and easily calculate the number of days for the time-span of the former 69 weeks (or sevens) of years. This is not all that difficult really. Here are our calculations.

7 weeks + 62 weeks = 69 weeks or 69 'sevens' of years.

69 x 7 = 483 biblical/holy years.

As we have established, each year is 360 days.

This ends up being

483 x 360 = 173,880 days (inclusive).

This is a time interval of 173,879 days between the beginning day #1 and the final day #173,880.

173,880 days

This, then, is the famous number which Sir Robert Anderson arrived at for the 69 weeks as set forth in his celebrated book, 'The Coming Prince'. This book was first published in 1894. It is still available in good Christian bookstores.
