Jesus Age
Most historians and biblical scholars estimate Jesus was born
between 6 and 4 BC (Before Christ), primarily due to the Gospel accounts linking his birth to the reign of King Herod the Great, who died around 4 BC, though the exact year remains unknown and debated. The Christian calendar, which starts with year 1 AD, was set centuries later and doesn't precisely align with these historical estimates, placing Jesus' birth a few years earlier.
Key Evidence & Reasoning:
- King Herod's Reign: The Gospel of Matthew states Jesus was born towards the end of Herod the Great's rule, and historians place Herod's death in 4 BC, making Jesus' birth sometime before that.
- Quirinius' Census: The Gospel of Luke mentions a census under Quirinius, governor of Syria, but dating this census is complex, with some estimates placing it around 8 BC, further supporting a birth before 4 BC.
- "About 30 years old": Luke says Jesus was "about 30" when he began his ministry around 26 AD (15th year of Tiberius), which, if true, also points to a birth around 4-6 BC.
In Summary: While our calendar starts at 1 AD, historical evidence suggests Jesus was born a few years earlier, most likely between 4 and 6 BC.
Born 5BC 33 years old age 33 means AD 28
So simple
Decree is 458 in Ezra
70weeks means within 490 years later
Arrived at AD 32
He cant died in 33AD because it passed the 490 years window
7years he can finish the covenant means 32AD to 25AD backwards he did ministry between those years
N His ministry n baptism near in 15th reign of Tiberius in Luke
Which means him 30 years old at that year 26AD
So around 3years ministry
Put it 26AD 27AD 28AD
Cant be more than 28AD
Or earlier than 26AD
Because luke account Tiberius 15th year
the 25AD-32AD Daniel timeline
and Jesus baptism age is 30
And born before 4BC because born when Herod still alive he died at 4BC
