I believe that I demonstrated in my previous article that the starting
point for the Daniel 9:25 prophecy was the decree of Artaxerxes (Neh. 2:5-8,

was given to Nehemiah on March 5, 444 b.c.
The passage under discussion reads as follows:
"So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to
restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven
weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even
in times of distress. (Dan. 9:25)
