In the book of Ezra we have a decree by Cyrus, and another by Artaxerxes in the seventh year of his reign; but both of these are concerning the house of God in Jerusalem, and hence neither satisfies the terms mentioned by Gabriel. Passing on however to Nehemiah, we find that, “in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes,” he issued letters, in response to Nehemiah’s request, commissioning him to go unto Judah, unto the city of his fathers’ sepulchers, that he might build it (Dan. 2). Here then is the date referred to by Gabriel. (“Daniel 9” by E. Dennett)
• The twentieth year of Artaxerxes is believed to coincide, as nearly as possible, with 454 or 455 B.C. (“Daniel 9” by E. Dennett)
