Text Appearing Before Image:

THE JEWS MOURNING OVER
THE RUINS OF JERUSALEM
"I went out by night, . . . and viewed
the walls of Jerusalem, which were
broken down." Neh. 2:13.


The decree of Artaxerxes was most comprehensive (Ezra
7), authorizing the full restoration of the civil and religious
administration of Jerusalem and Judea. And Inspiration
specifically sums up all the decrees as completed only in that
of Artaxerxes, which thus constituted " the commandment:"

They builded, and finished it, according to the com-
mandment of the God of Israel, and according to the com-
mandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of
Persia." Ezra 6: 14.

Text Appearing After Image:

REBUILDING JERUSALEM
" They builded, and finished it, according
to the commandment of the God of Is-
rael, and according to the commandment of
Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king
of Persia." Ezra 6:14.


A Great Prophetic Period 225

According to this scripture, the full " going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build," dates from this de-
cree of Artaxerxes. And this decree went forth " in the sev-
enth year of Artaxerxes the king." Ezra 7:7.
What year was this seventh year of Artaxerxes — a date
so important to fix to a certainty?
The great chronological standard for the kings of the
ancient empires is the canon, or historical rule, of Ptolemy.
Ptolemy was a Greek historian, geographer, and astronomer,
who lived in the temple of Serapis, near Alexandria, Egypt.
From ancient records he prepared a chronological table of
the kings of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome (carrying
the Roman list to his own time, which was the second century
after Christ). Along with his list of kings and the years of
their succession, , Ptolemy compiled a record of ancient ob-
servations of eclipses. In such and such a year of a king,
for instance, on a given day of the month, an eclipse of the
sun or moon would be recorded. Astronomers have worked
out these observations, and verified them. The learned Dr.
