I made some edits to the Judean kings and deleted the old version. Sorry about that. Here is the new version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1evF8MqoQW-Ov4NEm0M9UWiK9eT3XHU3v/view?usp=sharing

I believe that Cyrus issued a decree, but so did Artaxerxes, and his lines up with the scriptural chronology.

Maybe you will like this scriptural chronology I made then: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1evF8MqoQW-Ov4NEm0M9UWiK9eT3XHU3v/view?usp=sharing Enjoy

Ahasuerus was king of the Median Empire from 585 to 550 BC. But I will concede this: this Ahasuerus (Ezr. 4:6) was most likely Xerxes I. The same Ahasuerus as the one in Esther. It doesn't make any difference. Now that you've finally gotten around to making your point, I will not concede that...

Ahasuerus was Darius the Mede's father (Dan. 9:1). This simplifies it: Before 539 BC: the enemies of Judah and Benjamin write an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem (Ezr. 4:6) 539 BC: Cyrus the Great and Darius the Mede receive the kingdom (Ptolemy's Canon of King's; Dan...

Artaxerxes wrote a decree to restore & rebuild Jerusalem in 458 BC. Sometime after that (Ezr. 4:21), he wrote a decree to stop work on the city. Yes. The same Artaxerxes ordered the city to be restored & rebuilt and for work on it to be stopped.

The Artaxerxes in Ezra 4:7 was Artaxerxes I (r. 465–424 BC). The Darius in Ezra 4:24 was Darius II (r. 423–405 BC). The sixth year of his reign was 417 BC (Ezr. 6:15), the year the temple was completed. The Artaxerxes in Ezra 6:14 was Artaxerxes I (r. 465–424 BC). Surely you wound't say that...

anetazo, 666 is the number of the name of the beast from the Earth. According to Daniel 7:23, a beast is a kingdom. So it's the number of the name of a kingdom. That name is the World Wide Web, whose number is 666. The sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is "waw," and it has a numerical value...

I will not have to take the horsemen literally. Who says that if I take one aspect literally, I have have to take all aspects literally? Is that your rule? My NASB version of Rev. 9:16 says "The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them." Armies...

Using Ptolemy's Canon of Kings, we see that Persian Kings, 539–332 BC Cyrus: 539–530 BC Cambyses: 530–522 BC Darius I: 522–486 BC Xerxes I: 486–465 BC Artaxerxes I: 465–424 BC Darius II: 423–405 BC Artaxerxes II: 405–359 BC Artaxerxes III (Ochus): 359–338 BC Arses (Arogus): 338–336 BC Darius...

The first six trumpets occur somewhere between the seven seals and the rapture; there is no chronological timeframe for them. The six seals were centered around the crisis of the third century. The rapture is the seventh trumpet. I believe the sixth trumpet was WWII because almost 200 million...

Let's just get down to the reigns of the heads. You say, the king who "was" during John's lifetime was Nero, the sixth king. He reigned from AD 54 to 68. John wrote his Apocalypse in AD 96. Using your logic, the emperor who "was/is" was Domitian, who reigned from 81 to 96. From there, the rest...

Oh, I see, then there is a 2,000-year gap between your two beasts. And Daniel's 4th beast has 11 horns, no heads. John's beast from the sea has 10 horns, 7 heads. If they're the same beast, Daniel neglected to mention the 7 heads and added a horn. Also these differences would have been important...

What are the Julio-Claudian names of blasphemy? Also, Nero died in AD 68. Are you telling me that the kingdom that came after Nero's death, which was in the middle of the Roman Empire, not the end, having a number of 666, has come and gone already? The beast from the Earth comes after the beast...
