69.5 weeks

Combining this and the previous post, we can deduce that the count to 70 weeks has a "break" at 69.5 weeks.

Hence, 69.5 "weeks" were finished at month 5, Shvat, of 5772, 14 years before 5786. After that, the 70 weeks of the second Beit HaMikdash are finished, until Tisha b'Av 5775, 14 years before 5789. After that, the 70 weeks of the first Beit HaMikdash are finished, until Tisha b'Av 5782, 14 years before 5796. After that, the time has come for these 14 years. Until Pesach 5783 there is trouble, but Mashiach ben Yosef will lead the way to Geula.
