The prophet Daniel told Israel exactly WHEN Messiah would "be revealed" ...

The Prophecy ... Book of Daniel 9:24-25  (written around 500 BC)

   "He (Messiah ... the King)

     will be revealed

     7 weeks + 62 weeks ( = 69 weeks of years)

     AFTER the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem

     and its walls,

     THEN He (Messiah)

     will be CUT-OFF   (executed!)

     but NOT for Himself."      (He willingly died on the Cross as the sacrificial "Lamb of God".)

     (Daniel 9:24-25)

This is a mathematical prophecy . . .

   -  A week of years (shabua or shabu’im)  =  7 years             

   - "Cut-off". . . the actual Hebrew word used was karath, literally means "executed!"                  

   -   The "70th Week" (the last 7 years) of this prophecy is yet future ... the coming "Apocalypse."

The Bible uses 360 day lunar years for prophecies. 

So, the easiest way to unravel this prophecy is to first convert this prophecy into days ...

  1.  Add 7 + 62 weeks of years  =  69 weeks of years in this prophecy

  2.  Multiply 69 (weeks) x 7 (to get the total number of years in this prophecy) =  483 years

  3.  Multiply 483 years x 360 (to get the total number of days in this prophecy) =  173,880 days

So, the prophet Daniel, who lived 500 years before Jesus (Yeshua) wrote that from the day of the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem and its walls, until the coming Messiah would be 173,880 days!

(Note:  This prophecy was also translated from Hebrew into Greek in the Septuagint almost 300 years before Jesus made His prophetic entry into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey.)

To convert the 173,880 days found in this prophecy into our 365.25 day solar years (the .25 adjusts for leap years) . . .

   173,880 days ÷ 365.25 (days in a year)  =  476  years   (solar calendar)

So, the prophet Daniel told us it would be 476 YEARS from "the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem and its walls" to the time the Messiah of Israel would first be revealed to Israel (and to the world.)

The Commandment ...

This prophecy of the coming Messiah is both remarkable and extremely precise.  There were other orders to rebuild the Temple, but, there was only one commandment to restore Jerusalem and its wall.  On March 14^th, 445 BC, as confirmed by modern archaeology, King Artexerxes I of Persia issued the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem and specifically included its wall  (see Nehemiah 2:2-9 ... the book of Nehemiah records this account of rebuilding the city and its wall.)

Prophecy fulfilled ...

Now take the 476 years in this prophecy and simply start counting from March 14, 445 B.C. (when the command to rebuild the city Jerusalem and its wall was given) and you end on the exact year (even the very day) Jesus (Yeshua) rode 'triumphantly' into Jerusalem (Palm Sunday), being praised as King and Messiah by thousands upon thousands of the Jewish people who had gathered from all over for the Passover Holidays.  Honored, yet lowly, riding on a donkey - exactly as another prophet, the prophet Zechariah, said He would ...

   "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion (Israel)!

     Behold, your King (Messiah) is coming to you;

     He is just and having salvation,

     yet He is lowly and riding on a donkey."

     (Zechariah 9:9 ... written around 500 B.C.)

Thus, on the 10th day of Nisan ("Palm Sunday") 32 AD ... 476 years after the command was given to rebuild the city and its wall ... Jesus (Yeshua) made His famous "triumphal entry" into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey.  It was the only day that He ever allowed Himself to be honored as Messiah or King (Mark 11:1-12) as the people of Israel cried out and sang "Hosanna to the Son of David (this is a Psalm of the Messiah), blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!" from Psalm 118 ... (and all this took place just a few days before He was "executed" exactly as Daniel's prophecy said He would!)

 March 14, 445 B.C.       Commandment is issued by Artexerxes I to rebuild the wall

   to  April 6, 32 A.D.       "Palm Sunday", 10th of Nisan - Jesus welcomed as King and Messiah 

              =  477  years

              -       1  year         Subtract one for no "0" A.D. or B.C.

              =  476  years       Exactly!!!

No one!!!  Only Jesus (Yeshua) of Nazareth (born in Bethlehem in the line of King David) ... the promised Messiah!

     Therefore it is no great thing if HIS (Satan's) ministers

In the book of Revelation a new Temple which will be built around the time of the coming Antichrist is mentioned ...

   "But leave out the court

     which is outside the Temple,  (interesting ... this is the area which is now controlled by the Islamics)

     and do not measure it,

     for it has been given to the Gentiles (non-Jews).

     And they will tread the Holy city (Jerusalem)

     underfoot for forty-two months."    (3 1/2 years ... the last half of the Great Tribulation ... the "Apocalypse.")

     (Revelation 11:2)      (Prophecies:  The coming ANTICHRIST)      (Prophecies: The coming "APOCALYPSE" and ARMAGEDDON) 

RIGHT AFTER HIS "TRIUMPHAL ENTRY" (Palm Sunday) Jesus (Yeshua) wept over Jerusalem ...

Here, Jesus  issues a new prophecy and warns Israel WHY it would happen . . .

   "Now as He (Jesus-Yeshua) drew near,
     He saw the city (Jerusalem) and wept over it,
     saying, ‘If you had known,
     even you (the children of Israel),
     especially in this your day,
     (this day the prophet Daniel prophesied about)
     the things that make for your peace!
     But now they are hidden from your eyes.
     For days will come upon you when your enemies
     will build an embankment around you,
     surround you
     and close you in on every side,
     and level you, and your children within you,
     to the ground;
     and they will not leave in you (the Temple) one stone upon another,
     BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KNOW THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION.’"
     (Luke 19:41-44)

Thus, within that generation, in 70 A.D., 38 years AFTER Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) spoke this prophecy and was Crucified ("cut-off"), Jerusalem was besieged and brutally destroyed when Titus Vespasian, with the Fifth, Tenth, Twelfth, and Fifteenth Roman Legions did build a Roman siege wall ("embankment") around the city, starving and slaughtering over a million Jews, and then tore down the Temple, stone by stone, to retrieve the gold that had melted when Roman soldiers (against orders) set the Temple on fire, thus leaving not one stone upon the other ... exactly as Jesus (Yeshua) had prophesied.
