4 69 weeks out of the 70 weeks

Ω 69 weeks out of the 70-weeks [1]
Before looking at the 70-weeks, there are a few things to keep in mind. The bible is accurate, but history is not. Full agreement has not yet been reached in calculating the date. The fact that there are various opinions on estimating the age means that there is some error in calculating the age. However, each claim of estimating the age is not quite wrong. There is only a difference of a few years out of a period of hundreds of years. Therefore, the error of several years should be acknowledged and accepted as the fact that humans have not yet been able to make a perfect date estimation. It should also be noted that there are different views on the succession of dynasties and the timing of historical events. However, the number of years God recorded in the bible is correct. '7 weeks' is 'shehbah shawbooah' in Hebrew. 7 is shehbah in Hebrew. shawbooah translated as week also means 7, and if translated literally, shawbooah means 'period of 7'. Daniel fasted for 3 weeks before learning of the future history[2], and these 3 weeks, 3 shawbooah, mean 3×7days=21days. This means that Daniel fasted for 21 days. Therefore, shawbooah means '7 days', 1 week, and 70 shawbooah mean 70-weeks.[3] If shawbooah which means 'period of 7' is translated as week, 70-weeks are 70×7days=490days. Since God has set the end of human history at 70-weeks, the world must end 490 days after the decree to restore Jerusalem. However, the 70-weeks that God speaks of, are 490 years not 490 days. And since there is a blank period in the middle, it is impossible to decide exactly how long the period will be if the blank period is included. The reason that 70-weeks are 490 years instead of 490 days, is because of the prophetic conversion method that counts 1 day as 1 year. The Israelites who were afraid of the enemies of the land of Canaan, had to stay in the wilderness for 40 years because they sinned. Each day of the 40 days they spied out the land of Canaan, was converted into a year, and it became 40 years.[4] The prophetic conversion of 1 day to 1 year is also recorded in the book of Ezekiel.[5] Sometimes 1 day of sin is converted into 1 year, and sometimes 1 year of sin is converted into 1 day, but basically, they bear their sins of the period they committed the sins. It is to remember and repent of sins while bearing the sins. Does that mean, then, that God's people only committed sins enough to repent in 70-weeks, that is 490 years, so that repentance for only 490 years is sufficient for restoration? It does not seem to mean that. Therefore, there may be different views on this. It will be longer if the blank period is included, but for 490 years, God's people remember and repent of their sins. And at the end of those 490 years, disobedience will be finished, and sins will be made an end, and reconciliation for iniquity will be made, and everlasting righteousness will be brought in, and vision and prophecy will be sealed up, and the Most Holy One who first came around the year 483, will come again. Dan.9:24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. † God tells Daniel through Gabriel that after 70-weeks sin will end and all human history will come to an end. These words were spoken to the people of Israel, and the people of Israel here are not referring to the outward Israelites, but to the Israelites whom God considers to be true Israelites.[6] Through the outward Israelites, God foreshadowed the true Israelites, that is, God's people who have nothing to do with sin. The outward Israel is meaningless when the true Israel comes out. It does not matter whether we are a Jew[7] or a Gentile, but whether we are God's true Israel. † However, because the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable[8], the Jews will also return to God at the end of time.[9] The fake Israel, the Jew on the outside, the outward Israel, will be transformed into a true Israel. Even Jews, those who rebel against the LORD Jesus and sin[10], are not Israel that God considers as true Israel.[11] Conversely, even Gentiles, those who obey the LORD Jesus, love God, and keep the commandments of love[12], are Israel in the sight of God.[13] Dan.9:25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Anointed One, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times. † Regarding Israel, with the exception of the decree issued by Darius in Daniel's era[14] and the decree issued by Ahasuerus in Esther's era[15], the Persian decree related to the return of Israeli captives and the rebuilding of the temple and walls of Jerusalem, is recorded a total of 4 times in the bible. (We do not think about the decree that was issued to stop the construction of the temple on the way.) † The 1st decree is in the 1st year of Cyrus, 537BC[16], 2 years after Cyrus conquered Babylon, 2nd decree is in the 2nd year of Darius, 520BC[17], 3rd decree is in the 7th year of Artaxerxes, 458BC[18], 4th decree is in the 20th year of Artaxerxes, 445BC.[19] Through the decree issued in the 1st year of Cyrus, 49897 Israelites return to Jerusalem.[20] The construction of the temple which was interrupted in the middle, resumes through the decree issued in the 2nd year of Darius. Through the decree issued in the 7th year of Artaxerxes, (only men are counted) 1754 Israelites return.[21] The walls of Jerusalem are rebuilt through the decree issued in the 20th year of Artaxerxes. † It is said that Cyrus' combined Median-Persian army conquered Babylon in 539BC, and Cyrus entrusted his father-in-law and maternal uncle Darius, the last king of Medes, to rule over Babylon. This year 539BC is the 1st year of Darius.[22] This is the Darius who had no choice but to throw Daniel into the lion's den, and at this time Daniel works as prime president just like in Babylon. It is known that Darius was 62 years old and Cyrus was 40 years old at this time. Darius abdicated from the throne in 537BC, 2 years later, and Cyrus came to rule Babylon. This year 537BC is said to be the 1st year of Cyrus.[23] Of course, it is said that Cyrus became king of Persia earlier than this.[24] † After the Israelites returned to Jerusalem in 537BC by the decree of Cyrus and prepared the materials needed to build the temple[25], the full-scale construction of the temple began in 536BC, 1 year after the Israelites returned to Jerusalem.[26] Then, an unknown Artaxerxes, incited by fools, stops the construction of the temple.[27] † When Zerubbabel and Jeshua tried to resume the temple construction which had been stopped in the middle[28], Tattenai, the governor beyond the river, and Shetharbozenai ask Darius the king at that time to confirm Cyrus' decree[29], and receive a decree from Darius to resume construction of the temple.[30] This decree is not a decree to return the captives to Israel, but a decree to resume the construction of the temple. This is the 2nd year of Darius, 520BC.[31] This Darius is the son-in-law of Cyrus who destroyed Babylon, and is different from Darius who died before Cyrus in the time of Daniel. † The people who returned from Babylon according to the decree of Cyrus, laid the foundation for the temple and began to build the temple in the following year of their return. The year the Israelites returned from Babylon was 537BC. In the next year, 536BC, the foundation of the temple was laid and construction of the temple began.[32] The construction of the temple was stopped by Artaxerxes[33] due to the interruption of the Samaritans in the middle[34], but construction resumed in 520BC, the 2nd year of Darius.[35] (Artaxerxes at this time were not the Artaxerxes who issued a decree to return the Israelites in 458BC. According to one view, this Artaxerxes who interrupted the construction of the temple, is Cambyses, the son of Cyrus.[36] After Cyrus died, Artaxerxes, that is, Cambyses who became Artaxerxes, accepted the charges of the Samaritans and stopped the construction of the temple. There are other views, so it is not certain whether Artaxerxes here was really Cambyses, the son of Cyrus. However, in any case, it is obviously true that the decree was issued by Cyrus to construct the temple[37], and the construction of the temple was stopped by a king called Artaxerxes who was incited by the Samaritans in the middle[38], and the construction of the temple was resumed by Darius, maybe the son-in-law of Cyrus.) † The year the temple was completed was the 6th year of Darius, 516BC, 4 years after Darius' decree to rebuild the temple was issued.[39] In 458BC, the 7th year of Artaxerxes, a decree was issued again, and the Israelites returned to Jerusalem with Ezra.[40] 13 years later from that, another decree was issued in 445BC, the 20th year of Artaxerxes, and the walls of Jerusalem was rebuilt through Nehemiah.[41] The end of the 69 weeks depends on when the decree to rebuild Jerusalem which is the starting point of the 70-weeks, was issued. The decree is largely divided into the decree to build the temple and the decree to build the city. ①② can be seen as the decrees to build the temple, and ③④ can be seen as the decrees to build the city. The decree of the restoration of Jerusalem which is the starting point of the 70-weeks, is considered to be more of a command to build the city rather than a command to build the temple. Therefore, rather than the ①② decrees, one of the ③④ decrees would be the decree of the restoration of Jerusalem. In particular, compared to the other 3 decrees, the decree issued in the 2nd year of Darius to resume the construction of the temple that had been stopped, is even more difficult to see as the decree for the restoration of Jerusalem, so this decree is not considered as the decree for the restoration of Jerusalem. Although the temple was completed and dedicated in 516BC[58] the 6th year of Darius, it was after the 7th year of Artaxerxes, that is, 458BC when the ③decree was issued, that additional priests, levites and leaders came up to Jerusalem[59], and that repentance for forsaking sins occurred among the people.[60] Artaxerxes also offered many offerings to God[61] and exempted those who work for God from taxes, and made those who know the law of God the rulers of Jerusalem, and made them teach the law to those who did not know the law.[62] The decree was not limited to the building of the temple but was enforced throughout Jerusalem.[63] Both ③④ decrees were issued by Artaxerxes. However, the views on the accession year of Artaxerxes does not agree among scholars, like the views on the accession year of other kings. The differences between the views range from as little as 1 year to as large as 10 years. In addition, there are some differences in opinions about when the LORD Jesus was baptized and when He was crucified. Therefore, it is not easy to know exactly the year or date of the 70-weeks. However, since the events of the 70-weeks prophecy clearly occurred around that time, if we focus on the meaning of the events and look at the 70-weeks, I think we will probably be able to understand enough about the 70-weeks prophecy. Shortly after the desolation of Jerusalem ended, the 70-weeks begin with the decree of the restoration of Jerusalem. The first 7 weeks of the 70-weeks begin with the decree of the restoration of Jerusalem and end with the restoration of Jerusalem, and the next 62 weeks start with the restoration of Jerusalem and end with the baptism (or the cross) of the LORD Jesus. After the 69 weeks, there is a blank period until the beginning of the last week. After the blank period, the 70th week begins with the enemy confirming the 1week covenant[90], and ends with the return of the LORD Jesus. I am not sure what it means specifically to confirm the covenant of 1 week. However, it is clear that there is a starting point that sets the last week to begin. God will use the evil actions of Satan to accomplish His project at the appointed time.[91] The period of the restoration of Jerusalem can be viewed as ① the 7th year of Artaxerxes, or ② the 20th year of Artaxerxes. Because views about the 1st year of Artaxerxes are different, the year at which the 69 weeks end also varies depending on the views.
A year in the bible is 360 days.[94] Babylon in the book of Daniel is said to have used the lunar calendar. In the old testament, a year is 360 days and a month is 30 days. (The lunar calendar is similar, so there is such a thing as a leap month.) However, if a year is unconditionally calculated as 360 days, the seasons become slightly different as the years go by. The lunar calendar includes leap months, but I don't know if the bible also includes leap months when calculating time. In other words, I don't know whether the calendar that calculates the 70-weeks, is the lunar calendar used historically by the Hebrews or whether it is an unchanging absolute calendar of 1year=360days ignoring the seasons. Anyway, the current year in 2022 is the gregorian calendar based on BCAD and has 365 days. Based on 360 days in a year, 7 weeks: 7×7=49 years×360=17640 days 62 weeks: 62×7=434 years×360=156240 days 69 weeks: 69×7=483 years×360=173880 days 70-weeks: 70×7=490 years×360=176400 days If we convert a year to 365.2422 days instead of 360 days to calculate it based on the BCAD calendar, 7 weeks=49 years=17640 days÷365.2422=48.29≒48 years 62 weeks=434 years=156240 days÷365.2422=427.77≒428 years 69 weeks=483 years=173880 days÷365.2422=476.06≒476 years 70-weeks=490 years=176400 days÷365.2422=482.97≒483 years And after BC1, it goes directly to AD1 without BC0 or AD0. This means we have to add 1 year to convert between BC and AD. The days of 70-weeks prophecy were not according to the lunar calendar used historically by the Hebrews, but without leap months to match the seasons, as an unchanging absolute calendar that always views a year as 360 days, if 176400 days of 70-weeks=490 years are calculated only as days and converted to BCAD based gregorian calendar days, 70-weeks become 483 days. However, if the 70-weeks=490 years God spoke of, were not a mere mass of dates, but a prophecy based on the lunar calendar used historically by the Hebrews, in other words, if the 70-weeks were a prophecy that God spoke with a concept including leap months to match the seasons, even if 70-weeks are converted to the gregorian calendar, it has to be calculated as 490 years. That is, there is no difference between the 490 lunar years including leap months and the 490 solar years set according to BCAD. If God spoke to Daniel of the 70-weeks prophecy that 1 year must always be viewed as 360 days without leap months, Daniel who would have used lunar calendar, would have had to calculate the days of the 70-weeks in terms of the BCAD solar calendar. But I am not sure if God really meant that to Daniel. Depending on whether we view the 490 years of the 70-weeks as 490 years as it is, or in terms of conversion, the views that follow differ.
Assuming that the decree to restore Jerusalem was issued in the 7th year of Artaxerxes
[①-1] Considering the 1st year of Artaxerxes as 464BC
49years (7weeks X 7days = 49days[=years])			434years (62weeks X 7days = 434days[=years[95]])
458BC autumn[96] 409BC autumn AD26 autumn
For BCAD calculation, converting 1 year into 365 days, 69 weeks(483 years) is 476 years.
458BC 410BC AD19
458BC= Decree of restoration= the 7th year of Artaxerxes[97]	410BC= Restoration completed/ BC445=walls rebuilt[98]= the 20th year of Artaxerxes		AD26 or AD19= View①: Baptism of the LORD Jesus View②: The cross of the LORD Jesus
I don't know exactly when Artaxerxes took the throne. However, if Artaxerxes' accession year is 464BC, the end of the 69 weeks is AD19 or AD26. If the decree to restore Jerusalem was issued in the 7th year of Artaxerxes, it means that the LORD Jesus was baptized or crucified in AD19 or AD26. It is a probable view.
[①-2] Considering the 1st year of Artaxerxes as 474BC
49years (7weeks X 7days = 49days[=years])			434years (62weeks X 7days = 434days[=years[99]])
468BC 419BC AD16
For BCAD calculation, converting 1 year into 365 days, 69 weeks=483 years is 476 years.
468BC 420BC AD9
468BC= Decree of restoration= the 7th year of Artaxerxes	420BC= Restoration completed/ 445BC=walls rebuilt= the 20th year of Artaxerxes		AD16 or AD9= View①: Baptism of the LORD Jesus View②: The cross of the LORD Jesus
The prevailing view is that the baptism or the crucifixion of the LORD Jesus occurred after AD25, but there are also views that claim that such dating is wrong. If we consider that baptism or crucifixion cannot occur in AD9, then the 1st year of Artaxerxes cannot be 474BC either. Whatever the year, the baptism or the crucifixion must have occurred at the end of the 69 weeks.[100]
Some view that the year when the decree to restore Jerusalem was issued is not the 7th year of Artaxerxes but the 20th year of Artaxerxes.
Assuming that the decree to restore Jerusalem was issued in the 20th year of Artaxerxes
[②-1] Considering the 1st year of Artaxerxes as 464BC
49years (7weeks X 7days = 49days[=years])			434years (62weeks X 7days = 434days[=years[101]])
445BC 396BC AD39
For BCAD calculation, converting 1 year into 365 days, 69 weeks=483 years is 476 years.
445BC 397BC AD32
445BC= Decree of restoration= the 20th year of Artaxerxes		397BC= Restoration completed	AD39 or AD32= View①: Baptism of the LORD Jesus View②: The cross of the LORD Jesus
If we ignore seasons and leap days and view 1 year as 360 unchanging days, this claim that 69 weeks end around AD32 might be also possible. However, if God spoke to Daniel based on the lunar calendar used by the Jews at that time when God spoke of the 70-weeks prophecy, it would be more accurate to view the year that the decree to restore Jerusalem was issued, as the 7th year of Artaxerxes rather than the 20th year of Artaxerxes. If, based on the lunar calendar that includes the leap month, the starting point of the 70-weeks is to be regarded as the 20th year of Artaxerxes, it is possibe that the 1st year of Artaxerxes must be in 474BC.
[②-2] Considering the 1st year of Artaxerxes as 474BC
49years (7weeks X 7days = 49days[=years])			434years (62weeks X 7days = 434days[=years[102]])
455BC 406BC AD29
For BCAD calculation, converting 1 year into 365 days, 69 weeks=483 years is 476 years.
455BC 407BC AD22
455BC= Decree of restoration= the 20th year of Artaxerxes		407BC= Restoration completed	AD29 or AD22= View①: Baptism of the LORD Jesus View②: The cross of the LORD Jesus
If the decree to restore Jerusalem was issued in the 20th year of Artaxerxes, it is possible that the baptism or the crucifixion of the LORD Jesus took place around AD39 or AD32 or AD29 or AD22. It is claimed that the LORD Jesus was born in the flesh in AD4, not in 4BC. If we assume that the LORD Jesus was born in AD4, then the baptism of the LORD Jesus would have taken place around AD34 and the LORD Jesus would have been crucified around AD38. However, the prevailing view is that the LORD Jesus was born around 4BC, that the LORD Jesus was baptized in AD27 and took up the cross in AD30.[103] I have calculated several possibilities for when the 69 weeks end. Among them, I think it would be most accurate to consider the year when the decree of restoration of Jerusalem was issued as the 7th year of Artaxerxes and the 1st year of Artaxerxes as 464BC, or when the decree was issued as the 20th year of Artaxerxes and the 1st year of Artaxerxes as 474BC. Both the decree of return of Israel issued in the 7th year of Artaxerxes[104] and the decree of reconstruction of walls issued in the 20th year of Artaxerxes[105], seem to be possible.
※ Considering the above, it is highly probable that the decree of restoration of Jerusalem which is the starting point of the 70-weeks, was issued around 458BC in the 7th year of Artaxerxes or around 445BC in the 20th year of Artaxerxes. It is possible that I was wrong. But at the end of the 69 weeks, the LORD Jesus must have been baptized or crucified. For the sake of convenience, I assume that the decree to restore Jerusalem was issued in 445BC, the 20th year of Artaxerxes, and I continue the explanation. The decree to restore Jerusalem was issued in 445BC. There shall be 7 weeks and 62 weeks, that is, 7+62=69 weeks, until the Anointed King, the Messiah. 69 weeks is 483 days in a general calculation, but if we convert 1 day into 1 year and convert 483 days into 483 years according to the prophetic calculation method that bearing sins[106], it becomes AD39. Otherwise, assuming that the 70-weeks prophecy is a prophecy without leap days, and if 1 year is converted into 365 days instead of 360 days according to the BCAD calculation method, 69 weeks become 476 years, and when 476 years pass from 445BC, it is around AD32. At the end of the 69 weeks, around AD39 or AD32, is the year ① when the LORD Jesus allowed John the baptist to baptize Him or, ② when the LORD Jesus died on the cross. Then, after only 1 week, that is, 7 years after the LORD Jesus was baptized or crucified, the history of the world should come to an end. But why didn't that happen? For this 70th week is divided and counted separately at the last time. Dan.9:24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. † 70-weeks were decreed on the people of God. After Daniel received this prophecy, the history of sin, that is, the history of the world will end after 70-weeks. The prophecy of the finishing the transgression, making an end of sins, making reconciliation for iniquity, bringing in everlasting righteousness, means that the atonement is completed and sin itself is annihilated from the creation world, not just that the Passover Crucifixion takes place. The Passover is the beginning, not the end. Even after the true Passover has passed, crimes still occur in the creation world, the possibility to sin still remains in the creatures, and the truthfulness of the commandments has not yet been proven. Because the truthfulness of the commandments has not been proven, the commandments have not yet been established as the basis for judgment, and therefore judgment cannot be executed now. At the end of the 70-weeks, the possibility to sin must be extinguished in the righteous creatures[107], and the truthfulness of the commandments must be proved so that judgment can be executed.[108] The atonement of the Day of Atonement must be completed for the creation world.[109] Dan.9:25 Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Anointed One, the prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: it shall be built again, with street and moat, even in troubled times. † Jerusalem which had been destroyed by Babylon, was rebuilt, and the Anointed Son came to the earth. Dan.9:26 After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One shall be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end of it shall be with a flood, and even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined. † The 7 weeks and the 62 weeks, that is, the 69 weeks have passed since Jerusalem was rebuilt and the Son died. Then, there is only 1 week left until the end of the human history. About 2000 years have passed since the Son was crucified, but why is the history of sin, the history of Adam still going on? Dan.9:27 He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations [shall come] one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall [wrath] be poured out on the desolate. † An important characteristic of the 70-weeks prophecy is that the first 7 weeks, the next 62 weeks, and the last 1 week are separated.[110] The first 7 weeks and the last 62 weeks are joined together to make 69 weeks, but after the 69 weeks, there is a blank period, so the calculation of the week is delayed. That is, out of the 70-weeks, the last remaining 1 week is not counted as being connected to the 69 weeks. The remaining 1 week is not directly connected with the previous 69 weeks. It does not change that 1 prophetic week, that is, 7 prophetic days, is the 7 years, but the 70th week is set apart at the end. † Satan will confirm this last week's covenant with many people. The time when the beasts rise and begin to exercise their evil authority violently, is the 70th week remaining. Only until the end of the 69th week, when the Son was baptized or crucified, the weeks are counted consecutively. The 70th week is counted at the last time. Therefore, since the 70th week remains, human history cannot yet end. † Satan has established several beasts to take the Israelites captive and persecute them.[111] Althouth the beasts have continued since the time Daniel received the 70-weeks prophecy, and even before that, they had persecuted Israel as Egypt and Assyria, and there was a dark period in the middle ages of the roman papacy that persecuted many saints, but the evil actions of the beasts did not end with that. The beasts will go wild in the 70th week, and the 70th week will end with the judgment against the beasts.[112] Since God created Adam, Satan has been attacking Adam. There have always been beasts that Satan uses to attack Adam.[113] The beasts will persecute the saints in the most heinous manner in the 1st half of the 70th week[114], and the history of sin will also end with the destruction of the beasts at the end of the 70th week. † The people of the prince who shall come, shall make a firm covenant with many for 1 week, and this is the beginning of the 70th week. Whatever this 'people of the prince' who shall come, may appear in any way, we know who the ruler of this evil world[115], is behind it.[116] All the powers of the world that oppose God originate from Satan.[117] † The half of this 70th week is also expressed as 1 time times and a half[118], or the 42 months[119], or the 1260 days.[120] 1 week is 7 days. If 1 day is converted into 1 year, it is 7 years, so if we convert half a week into the time we are familiar with, it is 3 years and 6 months. The end has already been decided. It was already decided before God spoke to Daniel[121], but it was only in Daniel's time that God spoke in more detail.[122]

Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, And he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. This is my covenant to them, When I will take away their sins."

[10] Luke3:7 He said therefore to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and don't begin to say among yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father;' for I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones!

[11] John8:39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

Gal.2:14 But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

[12] Rom.2:28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

[13] Gal.3:26 For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.

[14] Dan.6:26 I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for he is the living God, and steadfast forever, His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed; and his dominion shall be even to the end. He delivers and rescues, and he works signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

[15] Esther3:12 Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day of it; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring. Letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

Esther8:11 in which the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey, on one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, [namely], on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

[16] Ezra1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Yahweh, the God of heaven, given me; and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.

[It was 539BC when Cyrus destroyed Babylon and 537BC when he began to rule Babylon. Therefore, the 1st year of Cyrus is 537BC.]

[17] Ezra4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

[Reign of Darius 521BC-486BC. Thus, the 2nd year of Darius is 520BC.]

[18] Ezra7:7 There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.

[Reign of Artaxerxes 464BC-424BC. Thus, the 7th year of Artaxerxes is 458BC. (Some say it is 457BC.)]

[19] Neh.1:1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, that Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. They said to me, The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates of it are burned with fire.

Neh.2:5 I said to the king, If it please the king, and if your servant have found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may build it. The king said to me (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall your journey be? and when will you return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. Moreover I said to the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah; and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the castle which appertains to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. The king granted me, according to the good hand of my God on me.

[Reign of Artaxerxes 464BC-424BC. Thus, the 20th year of Artaxerxes is 445BC. (Some say it is 444BC.)]

[20] Ezra2:64 The whole assembly together was forty-two thousand three hundred sixty, besides their men-servants and their maid-servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven: and they had two hundred singing men and singing women.

[21] Ezra8:1 Now these are the heads of their fathers' [houses], and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:

[22] Dan.11:1 "As for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.

Dan.5:30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain. Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

Dan.9:1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,

[23] Some view 539BC as the 1st year of Cyrus and 537BC as the 3rd year of Cyrus. Some view 538BC as the 1st year of Cyrus and 536BC as the 3rd year of Cyrus. Some view 536BC as the 1st year of Cyrus and 534BC as the 3rd year of Cyrus.

[24] [Reign of Cyrus 559BC-530BC. (Some say it is 559BC-529BC.)]

[25] Ezra3:1 When the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.

Ezra3:6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh: but the foundation of the temple of Yahweh was not yet laid. They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and food, and drink, and oil, to them of Sidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.

[26] Ezra3:8 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Yahweh.

[27] Ezra4:15 that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers: so shall you find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time; for which cause was this city laid waste. We inform the king that, if this city be built, and the walls finished, by this means you shall have no portion beyond the River. [Then] sent the king an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions who dwell in Samaria, and in the rest [of the country] beyond the River: Peace, and so forth. The letter which you sent to us has been plainly read before me. I decreed, and search has been made, and it is found that this city of old time has made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein. There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all [the country] beyond the River; and tribute, custom, and toll, was paid to them. Make you now a decree to cause these men to cease, and that this city not be built, until a decree shall be made by me. Take heed that you not be slack herein: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings? Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

[28] Ezra5:2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and with them were the prophets of God, helping them.

[29] Ezra5:6 The copy of the letter that Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shetharbozenai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were beyond the River, sent to Darius the king;

[30] Ezra6:6 Now therefore, Tattenai, governor beyond the River, Shetharbozenai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the River, be you far from there: let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in its place. Moreover I make a decree what you shall do to these elders of the Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the River, expenses be given with all diligence to these men, that they be not hindered.

[31] Ezra4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

[Reign of Darius 521BC-486BC. Thus, the 2nd year of Darius is 520BC.]

[32] Ezra3:8 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Yahweh. Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites. When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, they set the priests in their clothing with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise Yahweh, after the order of David king of Israel. They sang one to another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, [saying], For he is good, for his lovingkindness endures forever toward Israel. All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of the house of Yahweh was laid. But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' [houses], the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

[33] Ezra4:23 Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

[Reign of Darius 521BC-486BC. Thus, the 2nd year of Darius is 520BC.]

[34] Ezra4:1 Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building a temple to Yahweh, the God of Israel; then they drew near to Zerubbabel, and to the heads of fathers' [houses], and said to them, Let us build with you; for we seek your God, as you do; and we sacrifice to him since the days of Esar Haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up here. But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the heads of fathers' [houses] of Israel, said to them, You have nothing to do with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us. Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, and hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia. In the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.

[35] Ezra4:24 Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

Hag.1:14 Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Yahweh of Hosts, their God, in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

[36] [Reign of Cambyses the son of Cyrus 530BC-522BC]

[37] Ezra1:2 Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Yahweh, the God of heaven, given me; and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.

Ezra6:3 In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree: Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be built, the place where they offer sacrifices, and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the height of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits; with three courses of great stones, and a course of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house. Also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, everyone to its place; and you shall put them in the house of God.

[38] Ezra4:23 Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

[39] Ezra6:14 The elders of the Jews built and prospered, through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

[Reign of Darius 521BC-486BC. Thus, the 6th year of Darius is 516BC.]

[Artaxerxes here is the king who reigned 464BC-424BC, and is later than Darius who reigned 521BC-486BC. Since the temple was completed in 516BC, the 6th year of Darius, the temple had already been completed when Artaxerxes came to the throne. Nevertheless, the reason that the decree issued in the 7th year of Artaxerxes, 458BC, was mentioned in the temple construction because Artaxerxes helped to beautify the completed temple.]

[Ezra7:19 The vessels that are given you for the service of the house of your God, deliver you before the God of Jerusalem. Whatever more shall be needful for the house of your God, which you shall have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house. I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence,]

[40] Ezra7:7 There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.

Ezra7:11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, even the scribe of the words of the commandments of Yahweh, and of his statutes to Israel: Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth. I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.

[Reign of Artaxerxes 464BC-424BC. Thus, the 7th year of Artaxerxes is 458BC.]

[41] Neh.1:1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, that Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. They said to me, The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates of it are burned with fire.

[Reign of Artaxerxes 464BC-424BC. Thus, the 20th year of Artaxerxes is 445BC.]

Neh.2:1 It happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been [before] sad in his presence.

Neh.6:15 So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty-two days. (9th month 15, 445BC)

[42] 1Chr.3:15 The sons of Josiah: the firstborn Johanan, the second Jehoiakim, the third Zedekiah, the fourth Shallum. The sons of Jehoiakim: Jeconiah his son, Zedekiah his son.

[43] 2Chr.36:8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

[44] Esther2:5 There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. He brought up Hadassah, who is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.

[45] Esther1:19 If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it not be altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she.

[46] Esther2:16 So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. The king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

[47] Dan.5:30 In that night Belshazzar the Chaldean King was slain. Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

Dan.6:28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Dan.9:1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans, in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years whereof the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.

[48] Ezra1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Yahweh, the God of heaven, given me; and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Yahweh, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem.

[49] Neh.7:6 These are the children of the province, who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city; who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

[50] Ezra4:23 Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

[51] Hag.1:14 Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of Yahweh of Hosts, their God, in the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

[52] Ezra6:15 This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

[53] [Assuming that the chronological calculations for 588BC when the temple was destroyed by the Babylonians and 516BC when the temple was rebuilt under the Persians are accurate, the temple was completed approximately 72 years after the destruction of the temple in 588BC. But the period during which the temple was destroyed does not appear to be the period when Jerusalem was desolate. I see the 70 years desolation of Jerusalem as not from the destruction to the rebuilding of the temple, but from the captivity to the liberation of Israel. It is thought to mean the 70 years desolation of Jerusalem (including the reign of Darius of Medes) was approxiately 607BC~537BC or 606BC~536BC or similar, when the Israelites were in captivity in Babylon, until the decree of Cyrus was issued and the foundation for the temple was laid. If we consider that the desolation of Jerusalem was finished from the year the Israelites returned to Jerusalem by the decree of Cyrus, the period of 70 years would be 607BC~537BC. Assuming that the decree of Cyrus was issued in 537BC, the foundation of the temple was laid in the year following 537BC, that is, 536BC. If we look at the time when the foundation of the temple was laid as the end of the desolation of Jerusalem, the period of 70 years would probably be 606BC~536BC. Also, if Judah is occupied by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon in 605BC, the calculation of 70 years from 606BC may also be wrong. However, since thousands of years have passed, it is difficult to estimate the exact date of the situation at the time, so I think it is meaningless to judge right or wrong because there is a difference of several years. Based on the current measurement standards, it is necessary to check whether Judah was captured by Babylon in 606BC, the decree of Cyrus was issued precisely in 537BC, and each era was identified with a unified dating standard, and the data was indicated in a unified chronological method for dating. It only relies on the records, but opinions about the records are divided. Accordingly, it is considered that it is roughly correct, but it is difficult to accurately match it. Therefore, it seems to be the best way to grasp the period based on the event rather than the year.]

Ezra3:8 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the house of Yahweh.

Ezra3:12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers' [houses], the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

[54] Ezra7:7 There went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. He came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.

[55] Neh.2:1 It happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine, and gave it to the king. Now I had not been [before] sad in his presence.

Neh.2:5 I said to the king, If it please the king, and if your servant have found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may build it.

Neh.2:7 Moreover I said to the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah; and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the castle which appertains to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. The king granted me, according to the good hand of my God on me.

[56] Neh.7:5 My God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up at the first, and I found written therein: These are the children of the province, who went up out of the captivity of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and to Judah, everyone to his city; who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

[It means that they got the genealogy of their ancestors who returned to Jerusalem 92 years ago.]

[57] Ezra6:21 The children of Israel who had come again out of the captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the nations of the land, to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, ate, and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for Yahweh had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

Ezra7:1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,

[58 years have passed since the completion of the temple through the decree of king Darius. After that, a new king Artaxerxes and a new priest named Ezra appear.]

[58] Ezra6:15 This house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. The children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy. They offered at the dedication of this house of God one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. They set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses. The children of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month.

[59] Ezra7:12 Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect and so forth. I make a decree, that all those of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, who are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with you.

[60] Ezra10:10 Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, You have trespassed, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel. Now therefore make confession to Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women. Then all the assembly answered with a loud voice, As you have said concerning us, so must we do.

[61] Ezra7:14 Because you are sent of the king and his seven counselors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God which is in your hand, and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, and all the silver and gold that you shall find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem; therefore you shall with all diligence buy with this money bulls, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shall offer them on the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. Whatever shall seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do you after the will of your God. The vessels that are given you for the service of the house of your God, deliver you before the God of Jerusalem. Whatever more shall be needful for the house of your God, which you shall have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house. I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers who are beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done with all diligence, to one hundred talents of silver, and to one hundred measures of wheat, and to one hundred baths of wine, and to one hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much. Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done exactly for the house of the God of heaven; for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

[62] Ezra7:24 Also we inform you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, the singers, porters, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose tribute, custom, or toll, on them. You, Ezra, after the wisdom of your God who is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach you him who doesn't know them.

[63] Ezra7:25 You, Ezra, after the wisdom of your God who is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God; and teach you him who doesn't know them. Whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed on him with all diligence, whether it be to death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. Blessed be Yahweh, the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of Yahweh which is in Jerusalem; and has extended lovingkindness to me before the king, and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty princes. I was strengthened according to the hand of Yahweh my God on me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

[64] Jer.25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,)

Jer.25:11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Dan.1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.

[65] Jer.25:1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,)

Jer.25:11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

[When the reign of Jehoiakim is estimated BC609~BC598, the 3rd year of Jehoiakim is 607BC and the 4th year of Jehoiakim is 606BC. Obviously referring to the same thing, but referring to different years. This may be because the chronological record method is different, or because the events took place over several months. Depending on the method of indicating the year of accession to the throne, there may be a chronological method that sees the same year as the 3rd year of Jehoiakim and a chronological method that sees the same year as the 4th year of Jehoiakim. Perhaps for this reason, the dates recorded here are slightly different. However, there have always been many arguments for estimating the dates, and it is difficult to make an accurate estimate, and I am not sure whether the original data used for the calculation was written in the same chronological method. An error may also occur depending on whether the 3 years here refers to the 3rd year or 3 years have passed. Therefore, I think it is meaningless to focus on the age difference of 1 or 2 years. I think it can be said that it happened around that time.]

[66] Dan.1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.

Dan.1:3 The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles; youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.

Dan.1:6 Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

[67] 2Chr.36:9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

[68] Ezek.33:21 It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city has been struck.

[Reign of Jehoiachin 598BC~597BC. He only reigned for 3 months, but the next year comes. It appears that he was crowned in winter and deposed in spring. Considering that it is not expressed as 12 years have passed, but on the 10th month 5th, the 12th year, it seems that there is an interval of about 11 years from the 2nd captivity to the 3rd captivity. Considering the 3rd captivity, that is, the destruction of Judah, in 588BC, the 2nd captivity 11 years ago which did not count months and only years, was 599BC. Ezekiel was taken to Babylon during the 2nd captivity.]

[72] Jer.52:30 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

[73] Rom.2:28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

[74] Titus1:16 They profess that they know God, but by their works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

[75] Rev.17:4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth. And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.

Rev.18:4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come forth, my people, out of her, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues,

[76] Matt.24:21 for then will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.

Rev.18:24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."

He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and true."

[85] Ezra1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying, Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has Yahweh, the God of heaven, given me; and he has charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

[86] Ezra4:23 Then when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power. Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem; and it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

The nations were angry, and your wrath came, as did the time for the dead to be judged, and to give your servants the prophets, their reward, as well as the saints, and those who fear your name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth." God's temple that is in heaven was opened, and the ark of the Lord's covenant was seen in his temple. Lightnings, sounds, thunders, an earthquake, and great hail followed.
