In order to conduct our analysis, we must place a specific event and date at the midpoint of the seven-year period, the moment when the "half a week" occurs. Let's first try to anchor on the date of the Nisan 14, 33 C.E., a day forever etched in history. It was on this date that Jesus' earthly life came to an end. From this point, to reach the beginning of this seven-year period, we trace our steps backward, carefully counting back 1,288 literal days. This brings us to Elul 26, 29 C.E., a date we propose as the momentous occasion of Jesus' baptism and anointing. This would be the moment when "Messiah the Leader" appeared as foretold in Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy.
