    I didn't watch all of it but he's off from the get go. Jesus was baptized in the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar. That would have been the year 29 C.E. as Tiberius began his reign in 14.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius

    (Luke 3:1) In the 15th year of the reign of Ti·beʹri·us Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Ju·deʹa, Herod was district ruler of Galʹi·lee, Philip his brother was district ruler of the country of It·u·raeʹa and Trach·o·niʹtis, and Ly·saʹni·as was district ruler of Ab·i·leʹne,
    (Luke 3:15) Now the people were in expectation and all of them were reasoning in their hearts about John, “May he perhaps be the Christ?”
    (Luke 3:21) Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus too was baptized. As he was praying, the heaven was opened up,

    I know, your gonna say I am in a cult as you always do when I give you the scriptures in context but anyway if you want to know what the scriptures say, look up the scriptures in your Bible and do the math. Here ya go:

    How Daniel’s Prophecy Foretells the Messiah’s Arrival

    THE prophet Daniel lived more than 500 years before the birth of Jesus. Nevertheless, Jehovah revealed to Daniel information that would make it possible to pinpoint the time when Jesus would be anointed, or appointed, as the Messiah, or Christ. Daniel was told: “You should know and understand that from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be 7 weeks, also 62 weeks.”—Daniel 9:25.

    To determine the time of the Messiah’s arrival, first we need to learn the starting point of the period leading to the Messiah. According to the prophecy, it is “from the issuing of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem.” When did this “issuing of the word” take place? According to the Bible writer Nehemiah, the word to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem was issued “in the 20th year of King Artaxerxes.” (Nehemiah 2:1, 5-8) Historians confirm that the year 474 B.C.E. was Artaxerxes’ first full year as ruler. Therefore, the 20th year of his rule was 455 B.C.E. Now we have the starting point for Daniel’s Messianic prophecy, that is, 455 B.C.E.

    Daniel indicates how long the time period leading to the arrival of “Messiah the Leader” would last. The prophecy mentions “7 weeks, also 62 weeks”—a total of 69 weeks. How long is this period of time? Several Bible translations note that these are, not weeksof seven days, but weeks of years. That is, each week represents seven years. This concept of weeks of years, or seven-year units, was familiar to Jews of ancient times. For instance, they observed a Sabbath year every seventh year. (Exodus 23:10, 11) Therefore, the prophetic 69 weeks amount to 69 units of 7 years each, or a total of 483years.

    Now all we must do is count. If we count from 455 B.C.E., a period of 483 years takes us to the year 29 C.E. That was exactly the year when Jesus was baptized and became the Messiah!* (Luke 3:1, 2, 21, 22) Is that not a remarkable fulfillment of Bible prophecy?

    Chart: The prophecy of the seventy weeks in Daniel 9 foretells the arrival of the Messiah

    From 455 B.C.E. to 1 B.C.E. is 454 years. From 1 B.C.E. to 1 C.E. is one year (there was no zero year). And from 1 C.E. to 29 C.E. is 28 years. Adding these three figures gives us the total of 483 years. Jesus was “cut off” in death in 33 C.E., during the 70th week of years. (Daniel 9:24, 26) See Pay Attention to Daniel’s Prophecy! chapter 11, andInsight on the Scriptures, Volume 2, pages 899-901. Both are published by Jehovah’s Witnesses.

    What's cryptic about it? In the Bible, 7 weeks or sabbaths of years = 49 years, 70 weeks of years = 490 years, yes?

    “Seventy weeks.” Heb., sha·vu·ʽimʹ shiv·ʽimʹ; that is, 70 weeks of years totaling 490 years. “Week of years” is mentioned in the Jewish Mishnah in Baba Metzia 9,x and in Sanhedrin 5,i. See H. Danby’s English translation of the Mishnah, 1950 ed., pp. 363, 388. Compare Le 25:8 ftns.

    (Leviticus 25:8) “‘You will count off seven sabbath years, seven times seven years, and the days of the seven sabbath years will amount to 49 years.

    Since the foretold destruction of the temple that both Daniel and Jesus foretold, all records of birth and lineage of any one claiming to be the Messiah have been destroyed. No one can any longer prove to be of the tribe of Judah as all records were kept in the Temple in Jerusalem. Why do you think the Christians fled Jerusalem in 66 C.E. after Cestius Gallus attacked and were living in the mountainous region in 70 when General Titus completed the destruction of the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the Temple? In 66 the Jews thought they had achieved a victory, the Christians recognized it as the sign Jesus gave of when to flee.

    Dan 9:24-27;Mark 13:14;Luke 21:20

    Is that cryptic too?

    All one has to do is have a humble open mind and do the math.

    1 Corinthians 2:11-16

    Here is a video drama based on Jesus prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem and confirmed history after the fact:
