12.  Concerning the date for the birth of Christ
     
a.  Bible chronology does not treat exactly the birth of Christ except to say in Luke 3:23 that “Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age…”  If He was “about thirty…” then this could refer to having completed His 29th anniversary (meaning that He had entered His thirtieth year).  Any time after having completed his 29th anniversary to the day before his 30th anniversary He could be said to have been “about 30 years of age…”  After that, he was no longer “about 30…” but would have completed His 30th anniversary and would have entered his 31st year.

b.  The BC/AD scale is fraught with problems because the BC/AD scale does not reconcile with any Bible dates going forward from the Day 1 of Creation, 1 AM.  The original purpose of the BC/AD scale (Gregorian calendar) was to place the birth of Christ at or about 1 January 1 AD.  Since then disputes have arisen over this reckoning.  Personally I have no faith in any human reckoning.  Therefore, I am satisfied with 1 AD (or late 1 BC) as being the birth of Christ and I key my chart to this, not because I know that it is correct, but because that was the original intention, and who knows?  It may be correct.  We will eventually find out.  Meanwhile I treat as correct the AM dates going forward from Day 1 of Creation, and I treat as somewhere between approximate to way, way off, the BC/AD dates.

c.  What I think is really important is to understand that Christ was crucified in the middle of the 70th seven, which would be the middle of the 487th year of Daniel’s 490 years.  Since the prophecy was given in units of sevens (70 x 7), and not by units of ones (490 x 1), and the middle of the last unit is where the crucifixion took place, we do not need to worry about the remaining 3½ years because the whole 70th unit of seven has been accounted for by placing Christ’s crucifixion right in the middle of it.
