1: Daniel had a letter addressed to Cyrus, written hundreds of years before, but actually allowing us to calculate the date of the order/ declaration to rebuild Jerusalem until the day the Messiah would ride into Jerusalem on a cost etc. So the letter, declaration & proof of God's stating things that will come to pass years before they actually happened. In this case the bible says that from the day if the order to rebuild Jerusalem, unil the day Messiah would present Himself as the Lamb if God,- The 'Triumphal entry' - and Daniel- Gabriel & the scriptures & events leave no leeway either way. The exact day's arr prophecied and published in 2 languages before Jesus of Nazerath was even born "Veyond Space & Time" or 'Extraterrestrial message' - both by Dr Chuck Missler & if you've not come across his work before - enjoy! I beg u take the time to watch him- and Walter Veith- Kent Hovind's 'Creation Seminar' and see if Henry Gruver's testimonies r still available. All fascinating & I bet u get something out of 1 or all of them! Shabbat shalom. Lucie (Scotland)

I don't think you are thinking of the vision Daniel received, which is recorded in Daniel 9. Harold Hoehner has a great Journal Article articulating the details to the exact day of Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem.

Kindly Something freaky cool is the terms atlan, mazatlan, aztlan, atlan is a Greek word in Aztec language for Atlantis, Atlantic, atlas etc.. Yes, I can’t admonish you enough to read about the ancient migrations out of the middle east and old world to this Western Hemisphere. Read it all I n the Book of Mormon. Best wishes

As a Christian is it good to name a child CYRUS

[@BibleandTheologyMatters]

Thanks for your questions @oluremivctoria8463. I wouldn't shy away from naming a child Cyrus because of the historical figure we know as Cyrus the Great. I don't think many would ever associate the two. Although, Cyrus was known for being a benevolent King (as much as can be amongst pagans). Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (CI Scofield) the author of the Scofield Study Bible had that name. He was Episcopalian.

Your explanation is not biblical it is Nehemiah rebuild Jerusalem decreed by king artaxerces

[@BibleandTheologyMatters]

There were four different decrees allowing people to return and rebuild Jerusalem and its temple. The first one was a decree by Cyrus in 539 BC. Cyrus' decree resulted in the possibility of Zerubbabel to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. There was also a second decree by Darius in 519 BC also allowing the temple to be continued to be reuilt. There were two decrees by Artaxerxes (458/457 and 445/444 BC). You are correct that Nehemiah was able to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem as a result of Artaxerxes 2nd decree. Nehemiah led a return to rebuild the walls, whereas Zerubbabel returned to rebuild the temple, which is what this video was all about. Please be more cautious on what you declare "unbiblical."
