When doing date/year math, many people use exclusive math instead of inclusive math and this results in years that are 1 year off since the math does not include the starting year.
Since these pages are all about end times, I'll use Daniel's 70th week as an example.
Say that you believe that Jesus will return in 2032 and you want to find out what
year the 7 year Tributation begins. It would be tempting to just say: 2032 - 7 = 2025
and believe you are done. Unfortunately this is exclusive math and doesn't include the starting year 2032
since the beginning of the 7 year Tributation is actually 2026 not 2025.
The below table shows 7 years using both exclusive and inclusive math:
2025
2026
2027
2028
2029
2030
2031
2032

This same math applies when trying to add 2000 years to the year Jesus was crucified.
Say Jesus was crucified in 33 AD, it would be tempting to try 33 + 2000 = 2033.
The problem is this is exclusive math and doesn't include 33 AD. When you
include 33 AD, the end date would be 2032 AD.
