Yes, Way Off Thing is, in the first century, the Hebrew elite wanted to rally all the Jews to fight in the 135 AD rebellion against Rome. To do this, they "reimagined" their calendar to make Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy point to their military leader Bar Kokhba as the promised Messiah. The Hebrew Christians refused to go along with this, however; and refused to fight against Rome. This refusal was the final straw for the non-believing Hebrews, who then decided that any Jew who believed in Jesus could no longer be considered a Jew. The final break had been declared, which remains to this day. Today's Hebrew calendar is off by at least 100 years, so can not be used in calculating times, or dates for the end of the age. Not that anyone should do this anyway in my opinion Lewis
