Answer

sixty-nine weeks, or four hundred and eighty-three years, would extend to the baptism of Christ in AD. 27,
and the whole period to AD. 34, when the martyrdom of Stephen occurred, and the gospel began to be
preached to the Gentiles. Before the end of that generation Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans, AD.
