Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Could anyone please tell me or point me to a study that identifies Christ's birth as the fulfillment of unto the Messiah the Prince at the end of the 69 weeks, rather than Christ's baptism, triumphal entry, or crucifixion?
Thank you.

I do not think I can be much help. I have more questions than answers. However, one thing that stands out to me is that verse 26 says, "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off..." To me that seems to put the crucifixion after the sixty-nine weeks of years (7 + 62), and sometime into the seventieth week. If so, that would make it hard for the birth of Christ to be at the end of the 69th week, since he was over thirty years of age when he was crucified.

Philip Mauro....the 70th week of Daniel 9

Well, there are a few issues.
1) Having a correct archaeological date for the beginning of the 69 weeks being interperted as weeks of years.
2) How the weeks of years are interperted and so to be calculated.
The calculation I used. 7 times 69. Based on the assumption of 360 day years. 483 times 360. To convert to our years by dividing by 365.25 days. 173880 divided by 365.25. Gives me 476 years to the crucifixion. So using 30 AD and subtracting 476 years I get a -446 AD. Converting this to BC becomes 447 BC. The archaeological date that I had was 445 BC. I do not have my references here at this moment. I intend to post that info later today. -
Get Sir Robert Anderson's book the coming prince. It is at least worth a read.

It certainly was that work accomplished, but there remains a national remission of sins (made possible by the cross) for Israel at the 2nd coming (the context of Daniel 9) as confirmed by many prophets including Peter himself who still puts it in the future even after the cross:
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

It is clear, therefore, in the light of Scripture that the 483 years “unto the Messiah” terminated at the Lord’s baptism, when His ministry as “the Messiah” began. Moreover, the prophecy itself furnishes a means whereby we can check up our conclusions thus far, and test their correctness. To this we will refer later on. The terms of the prophecy make it plain that the expiration of the sixty-ninth week would bring the fulfillment, of the greatest of all promises, the manifestation of Christ to Israel; and we have now shown that the records of the New Testament mark the era of His manifestation with the utmost precision.

What connection do you see or had heard between the 69 weeks and the birth of Christ? -

Quite a few that I see, but am just interested if others have considered it. Sir Robert Anderson, a very able teacher of the word, set us all on the entry, but there are some hiccups with it. Either way, all good :)
