hmm? Many of the sources I've checked refer to Xerxes as Ahasuerus.
As a matter of fact, I typed Xerxes into a search engine and most all I saw was him identified as Ahasuerus.
Did I not provide Ezra 4:6-24, explaining that that is the imposter and the only interruption between 92 yrs of building post-Babylon? And did i not say it was 71 yrs to Nehem--h's 52 days completion of the wall?Ezra 6:14
14And the elders of the Jews built and prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. They finished their building by decree of the God of Israel and by decree of Cyrus and Darius and Artaxerxes king of Persia;
So the Jews finished their building by the decree of Cyrus and Darius, which refers to the temple. And, of Artexerxes relating to the building of the wall and the city in the time of Nehemiah. The imposter usurped the kingdom for a few months and was almost irrelevant.
They prospered during the reign of Cyrus (temple foundation). Darius (temple structure). Artexerxes (the wall and the city) time of Nehemiah.
I was wondering what you meant when you say the text wrongly aligned the reign of Cyrus with the reign of the imposter?
If the only interruption was two yrs followed by 71 yrs of unhindered building, how was the city not rebuilt, but rebuilt by Nehem--h in 52 days? How could Nehem--h receive news of the city in ruins 71 yrs after the final interruption of it's rebuilding?
<Staff Edit> stumbling block is the crowning of Joshua as king and high priest post-Babylon!
