Suppose you tell me. Are they contiguous or is there a gap?

  1. Order to rebuild Jerusalem circa March 14, 445 BC/BCE
  2. Entry of Yeshua into Jerusalem on a donkey circa April 6, 32 AD/CE (69 weeks * 7 = 483 years of 360 days per year under Jewish and Babylonian Calendars = 173,880 days)
  3. 1 more 7 year period would be about 39 AD/CE

No, that timeline does not complete the prophecy.

483 years is 483 years. Did you add a month every few years like the Jews did to make the Lunar/Solar calendars coincide? Otherwise the feasts will eventually end up in the wrong season.

It doesn’t really matter. The timeline clearly showed that when Christ showed up, it was at the end of the 69th week, no matter how you slice and dice it. He began his ministry at the beginning of the 70th week, confirmed the covenant with Israel for one-half week, at which time (in the midst of the week) he was cut off (or crucified.) His disciples and apostles continued to confirm the covenant (with Israel) for another one-half week, until the end of the 70th week, when the new covenant took over (e.g., Amos 9:11-12 was fulfilled) and the Gentiles were allowed into the kingdom. Cornelius was the first around Acts 10.

That is the 70 weeks. It ended 3 1/2 years after Christ was crucified. Only the items mentioned in 9:24 were determined or decreed for the 70 weeks:

1. to finish the transgression
2. to make an end of sins
3. to make reconciliation for iniquity
4. to bring in everlasting righteousness
5. to seal up the vision and prophecy
6. to anoint the most Holy.

One part that is confusing to a lot of people is the first clause of verse 26. It does NOT say that Christ was cut off AT THE END of 69 weeks, but AFTER, which was determined to be in the middle (midst) of the 70th week in verse 27.
