Messiah/Christ means "Annointed One/Chosen One". In Dan 9:23, NASB, The angel Gabriel tells Daniel that he needs to … give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision. And then, goes on to relate to him the "70 Weeks" prophecy. In Dan 9:25 we see the words … until Messiah the Prince …. How are we to discern 1) the word "until", and 2) the title of "Messiah the Prince" so we can answer WHEN Jesus became "Messiah the Prince" as per Dan 9:25.
