Pls note that in Book of Daniel,
there are only
4 Persian King of Kings...
[Daniel 11:2]
historians had reused the same names of Cyrus/Darius/Ahasuerus/Artaverxes and named them as CyrusII/III/IV DariusII/III/IV, XerxesII/III, ArtaXerxesII/III etc and extended the Persian rule by few hundred years.
In Ezra chapters1-3, Ezra's immediate father Seraiah[Ezra1:2b] saw the 2ndTemple's foundation and CRIED becuse he saw 1st Temple 70year ago. [Ezra3:12].
note:
1)Ezra was not mentioned who came to Jerusalem after Cyrus' DECREE.
Nehemiah [maybe the same Nehemiah book writer]
came with Mordecai and Seraiah, Zerubbabel and
Joshua after 70yrs of exile.
see Ezra1:2
2)then around 36 years later during Artaxerxes reign
[7th year as King of kings],
Ezra with Nehemiah dedicated the 2nd Temple.
3)Nehemiah came to rebuilt the WALLS on the 7week[49years after Cyrus' DECREE]
on the 20th year reign of Artaxerxes.
see Nehemiah1:1 & 2:1.
4)the WALLs was fullied also in 7weeks literally 52days.
see Nehemiah6:15
5)Nehemiah served Artaxerxes till 32nd year
see Nehemiah13:6.
Note: Artaxerxes is King of Babylon maybe because he shifted his palace to present-day-Iraq
from Shushan palace in present-day-Iran]
6)Artaxerxes was found by historians to reign for the longest period for about 40years and he could be the LAST king of Persia who LOST the BATTLE against Alexandra the Great.
Since Artaxerxes is possibly the son of Darius,
the Greeks might have named him DARIUS instead.
Asian countries are commonly called by their Father's name first.
US citizens call their Father's name last.
7)Alexandra the Great conquered Persia in 330BC as recorded by historians.
8)so exact calculation of Persian Empire till Alexandra the Great is as follows:-
49years from Cyrus' decree
[which is 70years after Daniel's exile as 1st batch of captives]
till WALLs rebuilt during Nehemiah's time in the 20th year of Artaxerxes.
+20years of Artaxerxes reign
[40yr reign - 20years WALLs rebuit]
=69years.
so Cyrus' DECREE is about 69years + 330BC = ~400BC
or 397years from Christ's birth.
9)the time Jesus was cutoff is 437.5years from this Cyrus' DECREE.[Jesus died 40years old]
see http://www.simplesite.com/7churches/43730280
Jesus was cutoff after 62weeks.
Note that the 7weeks HAD PARALLEL fulfillment.
still awaiting a 2nd fulfillment which started in 1967AD and WALLs will fall during 6th seal event...then 49th year which is 2016AfterRapture...Jews will rebuild the WALLs again.
10)The BIBLE confirmed MESSIAH was cutoff AFTER 62 weeks and not 69weeks which is ADDED by many many who added to the WORD of GOD.
