Members Invicta Posted June 2, 2018 Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 Ezra 6:15 And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. Ezra 7:1 Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, Ezra 7:7 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king. According to the commonly taught chronology, there are more than 80 years between chapters six and seven. Can this be so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members No Nicolaitans Posted July 15, 2018 Members Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not sure about the 80 years... 6th year of Darius' reign... 7th year of Artaxerxes' reign... ...makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
