Inclusive Reckoning

The Daniel 9 prophecy is wrongly interpreted even if it is started with the right commandment, because of this one thing. We must understand it to be able to correctly understand the prophecy.

Inclusive reckoning is a method of counting in which both the first and the last term is counted.

If a child is born on a Saturday the 7th and is to be circumcised on the 8th day after being born, what day would that be.

Exclusively = Sunday the 15th Inclusively = Saturday the 14th Counting inclusively, the first day would be Saturday the 7th. The second day would be Sunday the 8th. The third day would be Monday the 9th. The fourth day would be Tuesday the 10th. The fifth day would be Wednesday the 11th. The sixth day would be Thursday the 12th. The seventh day would be Friday the 13th. The eigth day would be Saturday the 14th.

The Olympics were held in 1984. Four years later they were held again. By exclusive counting, that year would be 1988. By inclusive reckoning it would be 5 years until the next Olympics in 1988. Eclusively: 1985=1, 1986=2 1987=3, 1988=4. Inclusively; 1984=1, 1985=2, 1986=3, 1987=4, 1988=5.

Once you apply this inclusive reckoning to the Daniel 9 prophecy, the prophecy and information that helps to prove the prophecy falls into place.
