Will the Biblical Tribulation Period occur on Nisan 10 in 2025? The Tribulation Period is thought to be the last Prophetic Week that has been ‘Paused’. It is deemed the 70th Week of a 490 Year Prophecy given to Daniel in Ancient Babylon. It describes and prescribes the Divine Judgment Israel is yet to complete for failing to keep the Sabbaths of the Land. This is based on when Israel entered into the Promised Land. And here is the Debate. There are those that are insinuating, adamantly, that the Crossing of the Jordan River by the Israelites into the Land occurred in -1406 BC. What if it is off?
This makes the Exodus then correspond to that being or had to have been in -1446 BC. This Year Calculation is based on counting 70 Jubilee Years, using a 49 Year + 1 Year Formula. This Interpretation makes Nisan 10, 2025 the Year that the 70th Week of Daniel has to commence. This latest Calculation is being touted as ‘Full-Proof’. So, what is the Problem? It is assuming Factors that are just not in-play, in one’s Estimation. The following will address what and why one is not in agreement and how the Nisan 10, 2025 start of the Tribulation Period will come-and-go. However, one calculates that the Year 2025 is the Year in which the 70th Week of Daniel is to begin, but not on Nisan 10.
But for that, one will show the Alternative Year Count, only to offer a differing Year Count and its Rationale for doing so. This study will be long. For a bit of Biblical Background, so, what defines Daniel’s 70th Week? If one studies Daniel 9:24. There are 7 ‘Things’ or Factors that YHVH prescribed the Jews needed, is needing and will need to complete a 70 Year Pattern based on 49 Years. It is a 7-Fold Prophecy given to Daniel. This was given to him, when he, choosing to become an Intercessor by Proxy, repented on behalf of his fellow Jews, of what led to the Babylonian Captivity in the 1st Place, Pride.
This was also the occasion of the 21 Day Delay of Daniel’s Prayer due the Luciferian Interference. Such is the Spiritual Warfare against knowing and understanding Prophecy. This is the Key, in that YHVH responds to Repentance to receive Revelation. It is when His People Walk in Humility, that in the case of a young Daniel, how the very Entrance, To-the-Day of when Jesus was to enter Jerusalem was given to him.
1. 70 Weeks are decreed for your People [Jews] and your Holy City [Jerusalem]
2. to stop their Transgression,
3. to put an end to Sin,
4. to make Atonement for Iniquity,
5. to bring in Everlasting Righteousness,
6. to seal-up Vision and Prophecy,
7. and to anoint the Most Holy Place [Temple].
Tribulation Period Calculations
Daniel was even informed of when the Abomination of Desolation was to occur during the Tribulation Period. This is the Key and Clue. It is the Daily Sacrifices that are stopped at the Mid-Point of Daniel’s 70th Week. One conjectures that it will occur at a Passover Feast. In that case, one just needs to subtract the 1260 Days to know when precisely the start of the Tribulation Period is to begin. This Formula suggests then a Fall start of the Tribulation. So, the Prophecy given to Daniel is centered around 3 Factors that are thoroughly Jewish. If the Nisan 10 is what will initiate this Countdown, it means that the Daily Sacrifices will have to be made that very same Day as well.
1-The Land, Israel
2-The City, Jerusalem
3-The Most Holy Place, Temple
If Nisan 10, 2025 starts the Daily Sacrifice Day Count, where is the Temple? The Altar? But in that case, it presupposes an Altar of Sacrifices that has to be placed on the Temple Mount. And it has to be ‘Purified’ by the Ashes of the Red Heifer to be ‘Kosher’ for the Jews, etc. The 70th Week of Daniel is all about the Wrath of YHVH against the Jews and the AntiChrist. Thus, how can the Church Age Believers and Followers of Jesus step into this Dispensation of the Law that will be reiterated or ‘Confirmed’. As taught, the Church Age is not about Wrath, as it is not under Wrath, nor will it be.
The Nisan 10 Tribulation Period Calculation by some then has to presuppose that the Rapture Event has to occur before or on that exact same Day, Nisan 10, 2025, or April 8. Perhaps. But one’s Apprehension is that you cannot have both Assertions and be ‘Correct’. Either the Rapture has to occur on that Day or the Tribulation Period does. It cannot be both, in one’s Estimation. Obviously, one does not agree, but one is not emphatic about one’s Alternative Rapture Day Calculation. For example, one is fixed on the Date of a July 23 for the Rapture’s Timing. And that has been explained, now for several years to the point of ‘Beating a Dead Horse’, as the saying goes.
The issue is determining what Year? However, as the Years have gone by, one is seeing or understands more as the ‘Rapture’ Picture comes into focus. And with one’s Crucifixion Year being 32 AD, that is why one is more convinced that 2025 would be the Year of the Rapture. In one’s Estimation, it is the Rapture that ends the Church Age. The start of Daniel’s 70th Week comes later, but not on Nisan 10. With the 32 AD Crucifixion Year, the Math is rather easy. It is based on a 7-Year Daniel’s Week being subtracted from 2032, which is the 2000th Year Anniversary of the Crucifixion, etc.
32 AD Crucifixion + 2000 Years (1 Day = 1000 Years) = 2032 – 70th Week = 2025
Now, what is being used to justify the Nisan 10, 2025 start of Daniel’s 70th Week is the Research of Sir. Robert Anderson. He calculated the Messiah’s Arrival, presented to Israel as the Prince in the Year, 32 AD, etc. It is a Source one has cited as one’s Calculation led to that same Year. But one’s Calculations have been solely based on Astronomical Conjunctions and Alignments. But beyond that, Anderson is off by 4 Days because of the Discrepancy of deterring when Nisan 1 occurred.
Anderson’s Mis-Calculation
So, one is more convinced that the 7 Year Tribulation Period starts in the Fall, not in the Spring. Consider that Nisan, before Sinai, was the 7th Month and Tishrei was the 1st Month. As to Dispensations changing from the Age of Grace to the Law? And will there be no Gap of Time after Nisan 10, 2025? Well, did not the Daily Sacrifices continue from 32 AD, assuming that was and is the Crucifixion Year?
The Point is that ‘Law’ and ‘Grace’ did overlap the start of the Age of the Church by 38 Years, (32 to 70 AD Destruction of 2nd Temple). One is arguing that likewise, there will be a needed Gap of Time for the Transition, back to the Covenant of Israel being under the Law to occur then after the Rapture Event, etc. Here is the Calculation Sir Anderson used, based on a March 14, -445 BC Decree. Here is why Sir Anderson was off.
March 14, -445 BC Decree + 173,880 Days = April 6, 32 A.D.
https://www.calculateconvert.com/calculators/date/history.php?era2=bcbce&month2=03&day2=14&year2=445&era=adce&month=04&day=06&year=32
Note that his Day Count is ‘Off’ by 2 Days. According to Anderson’s Calculation, he has to use 173,740 Days + 24 Day + 116 Days Discrepancy to equal 173,880 Days. Clearly, Daniel’s Prophecy was to be 173,880 Days precisely from the Decree given. Why the March 14 Date is used is that it was and is considered to have been Nisan 1.
This is incorrect. It should have been from April 1, as that is when the New Moon occurs. Then 14 Days later is the Full Moon, etc. That would be the Jewish New Year of Nisan. However, the Ancient Babylonian and then later Persian Empires used the Spring Equinox to determine the New Year. Citations will be provided in the End Notes to support this Notion. Solution? Consider that the Year had 13 Months, not 12. This 13th Month could account for the Adjustment in how April 1st was rather the New Moon directly following the Spring Equinox.
Nonetheless, if one uses the March 20, -445 BC Spring Solstice Date, the 173,880th Day corresponds to Wednesday, April 14, 32 AD. One has to account for the 2 Day Julian to Gregorian Discrepancy and the 4 Days overall that one calculates from March 20, -445 BC, making Nisan 10 the Sabbath. This is the Day one contends Jesus rode into Jerusalem as the Prince and LORD of the Sabbath, etc. If this Timeline is plausible, then consider that it makes the Year 2032, exactly the 2000th Year Anniversary of Jesus’ Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension and start of the Church Age, etc.
March 20, -445 BC Decree (Spring Equinox) + 173,880 Days = April 10, 32 A.D.

Last Sabbath Week
Here are 3 Pieces of Evidence to support a Gap of Time needed to rebuild the Temple and why the Daily Sacrifices are Key, as one has presented before. Why does one think that the Temple has to be rebuilt for the start of Daniel 's 70th Week?
1. The Bible Verse that alludes to a Temple being in place when the Tribulation Starts has to do when the AntiChrist False Messiah puts a Stop to them. This Act delineates the 2 Halves of the 70th Week, in that the Day Count would then be 2520 Days and just 1 Half of 1260 Days.
2. Consider that the Cessation of the Daily Sacrifices is also what marks when the Abomination of Desolation has to occur. It has to do with the Defilement of the Temple. It is because some sort of Idol Statute will be erected on the Temple Wing that will come to Life. Perhaps with some sort of A.I., it will be the Nerve Center that will track all of Humanity, concerning the Mark of the Beast Mandate, etc. No doubt such Technology will utilize Quantum Computing Power and Luciferian Magic.
3. And the other Factor is how it is at the Midst of the Covenant or Sabbath Week of Daniel, when the False Jewish Messiah will enter the Temple, into the Holy of Holies and sit upon the Ark of the Covenant that Moses built in Sinai. Realize that the Ark is the Object of the Covenant, that the Religious Jews venerated and will legitimize their need for the Mosaic Covenant to be ratified and observed again, thus the need to house it with a Temple that Lucifer will take over.
________________________
The Rapture is about an Event that will totally shock the World into a Psychos, 100X worse than the COVID Plandemic. And the Political Theatre will be such, that Israel will rather make a Deal with the Devil, literally. It will be to ensure and be guaranteed of their Mosaic Covenant, with ‘Peace and Security’, that they will sell-out their Souls. Thus, for the Daily Sacrifices to be initiated, the whole Temple Sacrificial Ordination has to be in place. It is already set to go. There are but 2 Elements that will complete it. One is convinced it is the rebuilding of the 3rd Temple that is predicated on and that takes Time.
Granted, due to Modern Technology and Prefabrication Methods, the Red Heifer’s Ashes, the Cleansing and the construction of the Temple can now take only a matter of 1 or 2 Months. It will be expedited as the Last Sabbath Week of Daniel is just that, 2520 Days or 7 Years of 360 Days, etc. So, here are one’s Counter-Points based on accepting that, at least at the Midpoint, a Temple has to exist for the Daily Sacrifices to be ceased, etc.
DANIEL’S 70TH WEEK OF YEARS – 2520 DAY COUNT
Start of 70th Week Mid-Point End of 7-Year Tribulation
0 Day 1260th Day 2520th Day
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
Daily Sacrifices Begin Sacrifices End Return of Jesus
Passover Patterns
But one must realize that the Daily Sacrifices, mainly the slaughter of the Sacrificial Lambs and/or Bulls were but a Prophetic Pattern. This will still occur during the Millennial Kingdom. Why? They were and are a Picture of what Jesus would eventually fulfil on Passover. Realize that at no time, pre or post Crucifixion of Jesus did any Blood of Goats or Bulls take-away Sin or Save People. Understand that they were to ‘Atone’. The Word ‘Atone’ only denotes a ‘Temporary Covering’. See the following Verses.
‘Instead, those Sacrifices are an Annual Reminder of Sins, because it is impossible for the Blood of Bulls and Goats to take away Sins’. -Hebrews 10:3-4
‘Therefore no one will be justified in His Sight by Works of the Law. For the Law merely brings Awareness of Sin’. -Romans 3:20
‘These are a Shadow of the things to come, but the Body that casts it belongs to Christ’. -Colossians 2:17
‘Know that a Man is not Justified by Works of the Law, but by Faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be Justified by Faith in Christ and not by Works of the Law, because by Works of the Law no one will be Justified’. -Galatians 2:16
After Jesus died on the Cross, the Last and Final Passover Lamb was provided. So, there was no overlap of Dispensations, technically. So, the Jews were not ‘Saved’, nor could be Saved by continuing to offer the Daily Sacrifices, up to the Destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. As it was only a Shadow, it was essentially a Dress Rehearsal.
1. One is just following the logic of how, if there is a Mid-Point to Daniel's 70th Week, there has to be a Starting Point. And that Initiation has to be a Chiastic Day Count, exactly as the 2nd Half will be, 1260 Days. So, does not the Logic of the Prophetic Pattern require or demand an initial 1260 Day Count prior to the Mid-Point? So, one’s Perspective and Point is that precisely, the Temple has to be rebuilt, all prepared and sanctioned and sanctified to start the Daily Sacrifices at the 1st Day of what is to be Daniel's 70th Week. It is just one’s Perspective.
2. As the Mid-Point of Daniel's 70th Week is what Jesus identified will be when the Abomination of Desolation occurs, it requires that the entire Time-Span be a 7-Year Sabbath duration, as that is what the 70 Week of Years is, and what has to be fulfilled. Now one is aware that there are those that believe that Jesus ‘fulfilled’ the 1st 3.5 Segment and that the Covenant, that was ‘Cut-Off’. They do not consider it to be referring to Jesus. One is suggesting it is a Dual Prophecy. It was the Messiah that was to Die, but then also foreshadowing the Covenant broken.
3. Thus, in one’s Interpretation, based on the Research and Study of what the Covenant of the Many will be, that is the Mosaic One, it is what the Rabbinical Jews are all striving for. That is the Crux of the Entire 70th Week, but ratified and guaranteed by a ‘Different’ God’, Lucifer. It will be implemented through the AntiChrist False Messiah and the False Prophet, etc.
4. Precisely, the Start of the Daily Sacrifice is what will be the Initiation and implementation of the Mosaic Covenant. It cannot be anything else, in one’s Estimation. Although there was that ‘Overlap’ of the Dispensation, Law and Grace, until 70 AD. This is why one is adamant that the start of Daniel’s 70th Week of Years has to commence with the Daily Sacrifice being offered.
Daily Sacrifices
Consider also that during the Millennial Kingdom, Jesus will be ruling Earth, Israel, and Jerusalem from the 4th Temple. Yet He will require the Daily Sacrifices to be performed as noted. What? Yes. Why? Again, as they are done to demonstrate a Spiritual Truth. It will be as an ‘Object Lesson’ to all those People that will go into the Kingdom and will be born during that Time, etc. As they will be the ones to enter into the Kingdom, those and all Humans born from them will have the Type to see, literally and then Jesus right there to be pointed to, directly. Of course, this is one’s Interpretation.
So, as to Nisan 10 starting Daniel’s 70th Week of Years? The Question is, ‘Should not the 70th Week start on the same Date on which the 69 Weeks ended?’ In one’s case, one’s Logic is just based on the Limited Clues that the Scripture offers. The Reason why one suggests that the Tribulation Period could coincide with that Sabbath of Beginning, in the Fall, after the Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah is the following.
One had presented this before. It has to do with how the Temple and the Reading of the Law was and will be that ‘Confirming’ of Covenant’. It was Moses that was Read, Reiterated and 1st Temple Daily Sacrifice initiated by Signs and Wonders. This is when King Solomon prayed in the Company of the Elder and Israel and read the Law or the Covenant, and as Ezra did at the Rededication of the 2nd Temple, after the Babylonian Captivity, etc. The Temple Dedications, in both cases occurred in the 7th Month.
The Scripture states that when the AntiChrist and False Prophet are revealed to Israel and the World, after the Rapture. They too will cause Fire to come down from Heaven to consume the 1st Daily Sacrifices that initiates the 3rd Temple Worship Ordinances. It will be just like it happened with Solomon; in one’s Estimation. And it was what occurred precisely with King Solomon at the Dedication of the Daily Sacrifice and bringing the Ark of the Covenant into the Holy of Holies. The Fire will be, as was the case with Elijah too.
‘And the 2nd Beast performed Great Signs to cause even Fire from Heaven to come down to Earth in the presence of the People’. -Revelation 13:13
‘The coming of the Lawless One will be accompanied by the Working of Satan, with every kind of Power, Sign, and False Wonder.’ -2 Thessalonians 2:9
So, one is just strongly suggesting that, perhaps in the Fall, the Sabbath after the last Minor Feast mentioned appears to fit the Prophetic Pattern of the Temple Dedications. It is of the Ratification of the Mosaic Covenant, reiterated for Israel in Tandem with the Commencement of the Daily Sacrifice that will be ‘Lit-Up’ by what the Scripture states will be after the working of Satan. Again, this is one’s Scenario.
But if one wants to be Precise to the Day, as one does, then would not the Day, Nisan 13, which was the LORD’s Supper, be the exact Time that the Wedding should be resumed in Glory? Should it not be when Jesus takes the 4th Cup to complete the Passover Meal and Marriage as the 70th Week is unleashed on Earth? But here is why the 70th Week of Daniel will not or cannot start on a Nisan 10 any longer.
Triumphal Entry
Nisan 10 cannot be the start of Daniel’s 70th Week, because Israel rejected Jesus as the Prince. Thus, the Timeline is now staggered, in one’s Estimation. And to reiterate, Anderson calculated an April 6 Triumphal Entry. One’s Research varies by 4 Days of when that Triumphal Entry of Jesus actually occurred. Imagine that? That one is ‘correcting’ Sir Anderson? Well, it is because based on one’s Research, the Babylonian and then the Persian Kings considered the Spring Equinox as the New Year. And that is when they made their Decrees, etc. Nisan 1 was on the Spring Equinox, not March 14. One is more convinced that in that Decree Year of -445 BC, there was a 13th Month.
1. The Daniel Count of when the 70th Week is to begin cannot be on a Nisan 10 because it is contingent on when, as you rightly noted, the Decree to ‘Rebuilt Jerusalem’ was given. It is not when Israel crossed into the Promised Land. That Decree was given on the Spring Equinox, that has been the Evidence one has presented and will be in the End Notes.
2. One is in Total Agreement that the Entry of Jesus, presented to Israel as the Prince, was the End of the 69th week and the beginning of what could have been the 70th Week of Daniel. And how that would have been completed would have been amazing to contemplate.
3. However, Israel forfeited the Kingdom. So, it was to be given to the Gentiles to work it. But until the ‘Times of the Gentiles would be fulfilled’. Then the 70th Week of Daniel would commence thereafter, recalibrated. But not to a Nisan 10. Rather, when the Temples, the Daily Sacrifices and the Covenant of Moses were all confirmed, etc. This is one’s Working Theory.
________________________
To reiterate, the Nisan 10 Discrepancy is that Anderson used the Start Date of March 14, well before the Spring Equinox which was determined to be the New Year in Ancient Times. But even then, one showed that the Day Count would be 2 Days over the exact Daniel 49 x 7 Equation, to correspond to the April 6, 32 AD Date. What one argues is that Ancient Kings declared Royal Decrees that often coincided with the Solstices, Equinoxes or Celestial Alignments. This is to say that the New Year was precisely on the Day of the Spring Equinox in Ancient Times. It was in the 1st House of Aries.
That was the ‘New Year’, etc. This is one’s Theory, anyway. So, when one starts there, with a March 20 Spring Equinox Date, the Triumphal Entry is actually Nisan 10 or April 10, in the Julian Calendar precisely. And? It is the same Day Joshua entered the Promised Land. And it is the 4 Days then leading-up to the Passover Examination of Days required for the Passover Lamb to be to be examined beforehand by the High Priests, etc. And? Well, one’s Calculation is that, if one uses a March 20 Start Date, that Palm ‘Sunday’ was not, could not have been the Day, rather it was a ‘Palm Sabbath’.
One has presented this before too. The Logic is that Jesus is the LORD of the Sabbath. It is thus Impossible for the Resurrection of Jesus to have been on a Sunday. See the Chart Timeline in the End Notes. Study it carefully. The Chart is about the Passion Week, demonstrating this Timeline, based on a 32 AD Crucifixion Year Scenario. And? Now as to the Scripture about Leviticus 25 and entering the Promised Land on Nisan 10? That is correct. One does not have an issue with that, other than the start of the Sabbath Count of the Land is presumed to be from that initial Entry Year. Is it?
Nisan 10
One has presented the Notion that Israel, because it Fought to clear the Land for 7 Years, the Sabbath Count was delayed, exactly by that amount of 7 Years. And then consider what one has also alluded to, the Law of Trees, when one was to be able to Harvest them, etc. Why is this so important or a Factor in Daniel’s Start of the 70th Year Count? Below is the Timeline of the Passion Week, based on a Nisan 10, adjusted for the Julian Calendar 2-Day Discrepancy. That is to say, that Nisan 10 was on a Sabbath, April 10, 32 AD and the Crucifixion of Jesus occurred on a Wednesday, April 14, 32 AD.

For argument’s sake, say, one would agree that the Tribulation Period is to start on April 8, 2025, or Nisan 10? Will it also coincide with the Rapture? If ‘Prophecy is Pattern’ and it has to be, that the Rapture can be seen Prophetically as going into the True Promised Land in Heaven. So, when Modern Israel re-entered the Land in 1948, why did not the 70th Week of Daniel commence there in then, on that Passover of Nisan 10, 1948? Here is 1 Source that one considers ‘Primary’, in Research although the Years may not be accurate, the Principle will support one’s Assertion that the Sabbath Year Count of the Land did not start until 7 Years later. One has shared this before also.
‘The Zero-Clock start (Epoch) for the reckoning of Sabbatical Years and jubilees was Spring (Nisan 1), 1443 BC. From Floyd Nolen Jones:
The Jubilee Count started when Israel entered the Promised Land. But the count started after 7 years of war that followed, from the year 1444 BC as the year the 12 Tribes divided the Land. Planting that Fall would have brought them to Spring 1443 BC for the 1st Harvest, thus the epoch of Sabbatical and Jubilee Years began then. The Sabbatical Cycles were synched to the agricultural cycles, the Solstices and Equinoxes, etc.
Thus, the 1st Sabbatical Year began 6 years after 1 Nisan 1437 BC. Then the 7th Sabbatical Cycle began 1 Nisan 1395 BC, thus the 1st Jubilee occurred on 10 Tishri 1395 BC. Regarding Jesus, He proclaimed the Year of Jubilee the subsequent year in 28 AD, being the 30th Jubilee beginning 1421 years later (29x49) on 10 Tishri 27 AD. The 71st Jubilee occurred in 1988 and the 71st Jubilee will occur in 2036’.
_____________________
When does the 70th Week start?
As noted, one does not agree with Nolan's Jubilee Year Calculations, in terms of Years. But as to his Principle of when the Jubilee Year Counts start, 7 Years later? Yes. But that is why. One was aware of his Crucifixion Year Calculations that do not match one’s Calculations. When one came across them, one was disappointed. But beyond his Academics and Research, it goes to show that no one Person has a 'Corner on the Truth', about all things Prophecy. In the following, one will use the Word, 'Precisely' a lot.
1. The Notion of waiting for the 7th Year and then harvesting the Fruit, once in the Promised Land is what the Trees required, a ‘Rest’. This can only happen once you have produced Fruit.
2. The Crucifixion Calculation is not specified or given in Scriptures. The Notions of when Jesus was born and when He died are purely Speculation and Conjecture. That is why one had titled the Book, ‘Circumstantial Evidence the Crucifixion Year was 32 AD’.
As to the need to be Consistent, in that 'Prophecy is Pattern' Correlation? One argues still that the Pattern of when the Sabbath of the Land commenced is precisely what has to be adhered to. So, one’s best Interpretation and Calculation is that, obviously the Year Modern Israel re-entered the Promised Land in 1948 did not start the Sabbath of the Land Year Count. It was not started in 1948, but rather 7 Years later to keep with the Jordan Crossing and then having to wait 7 Years before the Jubilee Year Count started.
1948 + 7 Years = 1955 + 70th Year = 2025 (3rd Temple? Start of 70th Week of Daniel?)
Consider that if the 70th Week of Daniel had to start in Nisan 10, for 1948, that was approximately 1 Month Prior from the Jewish Month of Iyar when Israel was 'Reborn'. That Month was equivalent to the Gregorian Month of May, the 14th Day precisely, etc. So, one's Argument is that the same Law of the Trees was in-play as it was when Ancient Israel crossed into the Promised Land under Joshua.
1948 + 4 Year Fig Tree Probation = 1952 + 70 Years = 2022 + 7 Years = 2029 (Mid-Tribulation?)
This alternative Timeline, of 1952 is what also synchronizes the Countdown to the 70th Week of Daniel. At least, these are one’s Working Theory. Even if one adds the 50 Year Jubilee Count from 1948, it would have been 1998. If one adds 2 Jubilee Counts, it would be 2048. This alone would infer that the Jubilee is not based on when Israel entered the Land in 1948. So, it has to be based on some other Start Date. Then consider if one adds a 70 Year Factor from 1948.
1948 + 70 Year = 2018
The Year 2018 is when the Nascent Sanhedrin performed the Rededication of the Altar of Sacrifice. And? That is precisely what Ezra performed and rededicated, once they and the Jews returned from Babylon to Rebuild the Walls of Jerusalem and finish the Temple, etc. This occasion was highly Prophetic in one's Estimation as it was the 70th Anniversary after the re-establishment of Israel from the Roman Captivity. Coincidence? No. But this is ‘Proof’ that there is a 7-Year Factor in-play, presently.
A Sabbath of Years
The Countdown from 1948, 1952 and 1955 are working-out the various attributes of the 70th Week of Daniel precisely, it is based on the 77th Year. This is precisely why one is very ‘Excited’ to strongly suggest that the Year 2025 is when the 70th Week of Daniel is to commence, from 2018. It is because 2025 is the 77th Year. And? And the subsequent 7-Year Sabbath could very well be Daniel’s 70th Week of Years. It will make Israel 84 Years in 2032. This Time-Frame would correspond with Anna and Caleb’s Years, etc.
2018 + 7 Year Land Sabbath Factor = 2025 + Daniel’s 70th Year (7Years) = 77th Year (2032)
That is what one's Calculation shows. And that Jesus did ‘Mirror’ Joshua crossing into the Promised Land as a Conqueror, the Type of Jesus, the ‘Captain of our Salvation’, etc. As one knows, the Hebrew Name for Joshua, is 'GOD is Salvation’. But here is the 7-Day or 7-Year Discrepancy. As Joshua and Israel had to wait 7 Years to then eat of the Fruit of the Land and start the Sabbath Year Counts of the Land, realize that so did Jesus have to wait 7 Day from the Nisan 10 Date of ‘crossing’ the Kidron Valley.
Here is one’s Theory about why there is a 7-Year Prelude from 2018. It is a Chiastic Factor of how the 7 Years is added at the End of Modern Israel’s re-entrance into the Promised Land. It also follows the Passion Week, from Sabbath to Sabbath; from Nisan 10 to Nisan 17, when Jesus entered Jerusalem as Prince. As LORD of the Sabbath, He then Resurrected from the Dead, exactly 7 Days later, on the 3rd Day, Saturday at 3pm.
A 4-Day Passover Lamb Examination + 3 Days and Nights in the Grave. = 7 Days
Those that assert the March 14, -445 BC Nisan, have to then account for a Thursday Crucifixion to fit a Roman Catholic Tale of a Sunday Morning Resurrection. So, to reiterate, Scripturally, the 7-Year Delay or the Land remaining Fallow for 7 Years was prescribed once Israel crossed into the Promised Land. This is being mirrored in Israel due to its Wars with Hamas and Hezbollah.
And because of this Biblical Protocol, that is to be carried-out and also factored into the Count since 1948 when Israel re-entered the Promised Land, etc. From there, it is that the 7 Year-Fallowing of the Land had to wait for it to then start the Countdown to the 70th Week of Daniel. But if one counts the 7 Years from 1948, for good measure, it will then produce a 12 Cycle Count of 7 Years. And? That Count would correspond 84 Years and synchronize with one’s Fall 2025 to Fall 2032 Tribulation Period Timeline.
1948 + 7 Years = 1955 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 2018 + 7 = 2025 + 7 = 2032
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Now if the Tribulation Period is realized on the Nisan 10? And in the Year 2025? Time will always tell the Truth, as one says regarding Prophecy. But based on other Prophetic Factors needing to be in place, as noted beforehand, and that in fact are what initiates the 70th Week, mainly the Initiation of the Daily Sacrifices, then that will remain to be seen. But again, the Year 2025 seems to be pivotal for the 70th Week of Daniel to begin, at some Point in Time. And to that Factor, one proposes the Solomon Scenario.
Research
That is exciting to see if it will come to pass in a Fall Time-Frame as calculated when Daniel’s 70th Week will commence. It is especially if one holds to a Pre-Daniel 70th Week Rapture Scenario. Remember that when the King of Babylon set-up the Golden Idol, and the 3 Hebrews were cast into the Oven of Fire, being 7X hotter, (7 Year Tribulation Period Type) Daniel was 'Away' and not Present.
To those that assert that Daniel, at that Time and Place exemplified the Typology of the Bride? One would concur. So, as to Supporting Research to show one’s Argument that the Decree made in -445 BC was not based on the New Moon but Equinox? Consider that Nisan 1 was based on Babylonian-Persian Reckoning of Time, not Jewish. Artaxerxes II, the Son of Esther, by the way was not under a Jewish Calendar Rubric. See the flowing Research that supports one’s Assertions.
So, note that the Aries Constellation determined when the ‘New Year’ started in Ancient Times. The Problem or Issue is that due to the Precession of the Equinoxes, the Sun creeps or moves-away from the Constellations, i.e., Aries. For example, the Sun is currently in the Constellation of Pisces during the Spring Equinox, March 20-22, etc. The Point that regardless of when the New Year is determined, the Sun is still in Pisces on March 20-22. One must realize that the Equinoxes and the Solstices are ‘Fixed’ and are the Time Markers that YHVH set for the Sun, Moon and the Stars.
____________________
After 500 BC the Babylonians settled on a pattern of intercalations that invariably placed their Nisanu 1 on or after the vernal equinox, usually the Julian date March 23.
…their choice of which lunation to call Nisan had always been tied to the greening-up of spring, without reference to the equinox. The Jews’ determination of Nisan apparently remained largely independent of Babylonian and Greek influence until the second century AD, when the Talmud reflects that the Jewish leadership, apparently influenced by Hellenistic Greek astronomy, began to redefine the Hebrew term tekufah from its Old Testament meaning “circuit” to a more technical meaning “equinox” (discussed in the previous article under “Significance of the Tekufah”; see also
https://karaite-korner.org/abib_and_tekufah.shtml).
The Jews used the observed heavenly Lights of God to arrange their months and years, subject to Nisan beginning in the spring when things began greening up, including – but not limited to – the barley crop. Hence, for centuries the vernal equinox was a non-factor; what mattered was whether the greening-up of spring had arrived, regardless of whether the date of the first lunation of spring was closer to the vernal equinox than the subsequent lunation.

Artaxerxes Longimanus ascended to the throne of the Medo-Persian empire in July 465 B.C. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1990 ed.). The twentieth year of his reign would have begun in July 446 B.C. The decree occurred approximately nine months later in the month of Nisan (March/April on our calendar). By Hebrew tradition when the day of the month is not specifically stated (as in Artaxerxes decree), it is given to be the first day of that month. Consequently, the very day of Artaxerxes' decree was the first day of the Hebrew month Nisan in 445 B.C.

APPENDIX 3: WHEN DID THE JEWISH YEAR START?
One decisive argument against the interpretation of Anderson/ Hoehner is that it requires the 70 Weeks to start too early in the year. It is agreed that the starting point is Nisan, the first month of the Jewish year, but the issue is when can the New Year begin? This Appendix provides extra evidence that both Anderson and Hoehner require the Nisan in their starting years of 445/444 BC to start too early in the year. Once it is realized Nisan had to start a month later than they say, their whole calculation is invalidated.
The Biblical Requirement. Beyond dispute is the Biblical requirement that Passover must be in the Spring (after the Spring Equinox on March 21st Gregorian). This by itself requires Nisan to start after the 8th March (Gregorian). This immediately invalidates Hoehner’s date of February 28th!
*Jewish practice at that time (500-400 BC) was influenced by the Babylonians who started the year even later, based on the rule that the New Year starts after the Spring Equinox (March 21st Gregorian, which was March 26th Julian at that time). On this basis both Anderson’s and Hoehner’s dates for Nisan 1 are invalid.

OSSENDRIJVER 2018 [1] CONCLUDES IN P. 149
That the Persian empire officially adopted the 19-year intercalation cycle ‘between Xerxes year 8, [...] and Artaxerxes I year 8’ and gives in table 1 of p. 140 the attested and inferred intercalations between Darius I year 27 and Artaxerxes II year 23. There we see that Artaxerxes I years 19 (Mar/Apr 446 BC - Mar/Apr 445 BC) and 21 had an intercalary month, in both cases an extra Addaru. [Adar].
Therefore the answer to the original question is: No, March 4, 444 BC being Nisannu/Nisan 1 is not plausible either under the official calendar system of the Achaemenid empire at that time or under the observational intercalation system used by the Jews in later times in which the ripening state of barley was used by the Sanhedrin to decide whether the month following a new moon would be Nisan or a second Adar of the ongoing yea

Torah Calendar
What one Interpretation from the Research and the Month Discrepancy is suggesting is that in -445 BC, there was a 13th Month. This accounts for the ‘Extra Month’ that then makes the Spring Equinox, Month 1 and the New Year, Nissanu, etc. And in that Day Count, based on the Start Date, would have been contingent on the 1st New Moon after the Spring Equinox of March 20, -445 BC. It is because of the 13th Month that Year, as noted. And that Day is when the Ancient Babylonians and the Persian determined their New Year, in their 1st Month of Nisannu.
And this Name for the 1st Month is what the Jews took back with them to Judah. Before that, it was called Aviv. In fact, from that point forward, most of the Names of the 12 Months of the Hebrew Calendar are derivatives from the Babylonian-Persian renditions. It was not until the Destruction of the 2nd Temple that the Rabbinical Calendar then relied solely on the Sighting of the Moon Cycles and a Recalibration Start Year for counting Jubilee Years. This is why tackling the Topic of determining the correct Jubilee Count is so confusing and frustrating, etc.
But one is only sharing one’s Rationale of how Jesus’ Crucifixion Year, Month and Day of the Week can be, possibly ascertained. In one’s case, it is not only considering the 2 Day Julian Calendar Discrepancy but the Astronomy of the Blood Moon that occurred on that very Night, as it did back in Exodus, in -1448 BC. This is why the Sun, Moon and the Stars are certain, and Time Markers that one can rely on. Thus, one’s Point is that this is a Prime Example of how the Astronomy occurring at that Place-and-Time, confirmed the Prophecy of what was occurring.
So, if the 70th Week of Daniel is to begin on Nisan 10, 2025, who is the AntiChrist that will have to ‘Confirm the Covenant’? One just surmises that it will be the Covenant of Moses, as the Daily Sacrifices have to begin at that Time and Place, per Daniel. And for the Covenant with the Many, the L’Rabbim, cannot occur or be maintained without the Temple but specifically without the Altar of Sacrifice.
