Jesus appeared and proclaimed the kingdom of God at the time of the Roman occupation in Judea, within the timeframe of Daniel's prophecies.
{{Bible quote|And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed... Joseph also went up from Galilee... To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife... And she brought forth her firstborn son. |book=Luke|chap=2|verses=1-7}}
Thus Jesus came during the Roman empire, as the prophet Daniel predicted.
===The Messiah will be cut off before the destruction of the temple===
===The Messiah will be cut off 483 years after the decree to rebuild Jerusalem===

* Passover fell on April 10, 32 AD! If Jesus was crucified on Passover of that year, this is extremely close to Daniel's dating!

Even the Talmud speaks of how 40 years before the destruction of the Temple (i.e. 30 AD, around the time of the crucifixion) the atoning sacrifices lost their power and the gates of the Holy of Holies opened by themselves. The tractate Yoma describes how previously the crimson-coloured strap which was tied between the horns of the bullock on Yom Kippur became white, signifying that God had forgiven Israel's sin. But 40 years before the destruction of the Temple it ceased to turn white. Also the westernmost light on the candlestick in the Temple, which previously remained lighted as a sign that the Shechinah rested over Israel, ceased to burn at the same time:

The tractate Yoma describes how, previously, a crimson cloth tied between the horns of the [[scapegoat]] on the [[Day of Atonement]] (Yom Kippur) had miraculously turned white, signifying that God had forgiven Israel's sin. Yet:
During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-coloured strap become white, nor did its westernmost lamp shine; and the doors of the sanctuary opened themselves Then Rabbi Johanan Ben Zakkai rebuked them, saying, ‘Temple, why dost thou grieve so? I know this about thee, that thou shalt be destroyed.” (Yoma 39b) (cf. Santala, p. 105)

It is remarkable that such dramatic changes in the Temple service mysteriously occurred right around the time of Jesus' crucifixion!

Moreover, probably to cover up this prophecy inarguably pointing to the time of Jesus, the Jewish rabbi Jose ben-Halafta mutilated the Persian chronology in his history of the world, the [[Seder Olam Rabbah]]. By his chronology, 483 years after Artaxerxes' decree was not 32 AD but c. 132 AD - pointing to the false Messiah [[Bar Kokhba]], whom Jose's mentor [[Akiba]] had recognized as Messiah.<ref>Larry and Marion Pierce.
