1. To finish the transgression and to make an end of sins.
2. To make reconciliation for iniquity.
3. To bring in everlasting righteousness.
4. To seal up the vision and prophecy.

1. According to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, the new moon in 445 B.C. took place in Jerusalem on the 13th of March at 7 hours and 9 minutes a.m. so the 1st of Nisan would be March 14, 445 B.C.
C. From this point there were to be 7 sevens and 62 sevens. To the coming of the Messiah the prince & 69 sevens or 483 years or more exact 173,880 days.

3. The end of the people will be a dispersion.
C. To believe this is all just a coincidence takes greater faith than to believe it was a divinely ordained event.
