You have refuted nothing except to express a distortion of the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel! See the following facts exposing your views! There is no way you can prove the results of the fulfilled part of the prophecy, of 69 weeks of seven years each, by trying to begin in Artaxerxes 7th year of reign, in 457 B.C., as the following will prove:
Artaxerxes decree to rebuild Jerusalem in his 20th year of reign, in Neh.2:1-8: With the Sabbath Resurrection firmly pegged to A.D. 34, we can now show how the Daniel 9:24-25 prophecy of Messiah's first coming works out perfectly and naturally with the Sabbatical Year. (The online book locates numerous historical and biblical sabbatical year.) I will will only discuss a most interesting synchronism here. About 165 A.D. Rabbi Yose Halaphta wrote a book called Seder Olam, which was incorporated into the Talmud. In this book he placed the fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 69. Although the date for the fall of Jerusalem was incorrect, Halaphta knew when the correct Sabbatical cycle was. He work places the fall of Jerusalem in the first year of the seven year sabbath cycle. That makes A.D. 67/68 the Sabbath year.
The sabbath year comes regularly every seven years. Accordingly, the very year before A.D. 34 is a sabbath year: 32/33 A.D. Also if you keep counting backward, the year 445/444 B.C. was a sabbath year on the same cycle. It was in this sabbath year, 445/444 B.C. that Nehemiah rebuilt the city of Jerusalem. The prophecy calls sabbath year cycles "week" or "sevens". However, it is little known that the Sabbath year itself is called a "seven". The text calls for seven sevens and sixty two sevens, or 69 sabbatical years. Then it says "after" this time period expires, the Messiah would be "cut off", a Hebrew idiom meaning to be put to death or banished. The number of Sabbath years from 445/444 B.C. to A.D. 32/33 is EXACTLY 69. That is right, the fit is exact. There is no need for any manipulative tricks, like resorting to the claim of a prophetic year of 360 days. The actual sabbatical cycle is all that is needed. It is the one that Israel really observed. It is the one that Israel will again learn to observe when Israel again obeys the Torah of Messiah Yeshua.
There was a 360 year before the great flood, and there only seems to be one in the book of Revelation simply because many ignorant of the biblical new moon errantly assume a month is always 30 days. For instance the 42 months are NOT 1260 days. But these matters are explained in the "Prophecy" sections of the online book.
Knowing the correct Sabbath year, we can use this information to reconstruct the year of Jubilee. The year of Jubilee comes after seven cycles of sabbatical years. The year after the 49th year is the Jubilee, which is called the 50th year (Lev. 25:1-8). When one discovers one piece of a puzzle, then other pieces start to fit too. You know you are putting a puzzle together correctly when pieces start to fit all over the place. For this reason, we can have absolute certainty about when and how Yeshua rose from the dead. We can be certain about biblical chronology. We can prove what we believe to the world. We can be assured of an absolutely solid historical foundation for the good news.
We can also be sure of one other very important thing. Did you know that every Church and denomination and sect has a view of biblical history and chronology that is necessary to support their different doctrines and teachings? They may not tell you about it, but their doctrines require certain beliefs about chronology as well. You can be sure, that if you know and thoroughly test this chronology, that you will never be deceived by these cults and alternative Christianities that compete with the original Faith that Messiah Yeshua once delivered to the Saints. And you can be sure that your knowledge of the original faith is absolutely correct.
The Jubilee year is intimately connected with the Messianic restoration at the end of the age. In the year of Jubilee, the "Great Trumpet" is blown, announcing redemption of the land of Israel. We can use our knowledge of the sabbath year to show how the Jubilee cycle fits. This little article, however is a summary of the online book, and only part of it at that. So I speak in more general terms here. The Jubilee is synchronized with the Exodus and Hezekiah's 15th and 16th years, a period of time that works out with all the other biblical data as exactly 18 Jubilees. The Jubilee is also alluded to in the 2nd year of King Saul (1 Sam. 13:1-3), the 4th year of David (2 Sam. 6:15), the fall of Nineveh (Isaiah 27:13), the restoration of Nebuchadnezzar to his throne (Dan. 4:34). The Jubilee also synchronizes with the first year of creation. This all works out perfectly with all other biblical data, with no contradictions.
