Now, as I have stated that the New covenant was to be confirmed for ONE week (49 years), we all must pay attention to the Jewish time table of how long it took for the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.
John 2[18] Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
[19] Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
[20] Then said the Jews, Forty and six [46] years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
[21] But he spake of the temple of his body.
Aside from the importance of what Jesus had to say, the Jews stated one historical fact: it took 46 years to rebuild the temple building.
Now I ask, when did "the going forth" of the commandment to rebuild the temple take place, or be decreed?
In the day of Jesus' "visitation", the Jews said it took 46 years to rebuild. That approximates to be ONE prophetic week (7x7=49).
According to Daniel, what week was that in the prophetic 70 weeks?
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks [62 weeks] shall Messiah be cut off [crucified], but not for himself [for others]:
That is saying that the decree (commandment) to rebuild the temple took place (62x7=) 434 years prior to the temple was completed.
Back to 2 Chronicles 36:20-23.
When did Cyrus the king of Persia and Artaxerxese rule?
Ans. Approx. 430BC, which is the timing of
"the going forth" of the commandment to rebuild the temple and Jerusalem.
