Bible Chronology (55): From the Temple to Artaxerxes (30)
In this video, we conclude our study of the Great Jubilee Redemption Cycle of 490 years from the Dedication of Solomon's Temple in 1018 BC to the Decree of Artaxerxes in 458 BC, which marks the start of the next Redemption Cycle (Daniel's 70 Weeks, Daniel 9:24). This period is actually 560 years, but the 70 years of the Babylonian Captivity are unreckoned, leaving 490 years in God's Redemption Chronology. Using charts, Pastor Derek gives an overview of this whole time-period showing how all the reigns of the kings fit into the longer time-periods of 390 years and 40 years of Ezekiel 4 (1018 - 628 BC and 628- 588 BC), the 70 years of Desolation (588 - 518 BC) and the 560 years (1018 - 458 BC), showing how all the Biblical data can be perfectly harmonised. Everything fits perfectly into place, demonstrating the sovereignty, grace and glory of God. We can see that God, as the Lord of Time, has sovereignly planned and determined the overall course of Time. As the God of Grace, we see that He governs it according to His Redemption Calendar, which incorporates the Jubilee Principle and measures years of forgiveness, so that Time is structured in Great Jubilee Cycles. By giving us detailed chronological information in His Word about the course of history, we can reconstruct it with exactness, and demonstrate its accuracy, inner harmony, consistency and perfection, showing that all the time-periods fit into a greater Divine Plan and Design for Time, thus revealing the sovereignty and glory of God.

Then, we look at the event that marks the end of this Great Jubilee Cycle, and the start of the next Great Jubilee Cycle of 490 years (Daniel's 70 Weeks, Daniel 9:24-27), from 458 BC to 33 AD, the Decree to rebuild and restore Jerusalem in 458 BC (Daniel 9:25) in the 7th Year of Artaxerxes, recorded in Ezra 7, which marks the start of the final Great Jubilee Cycle of Israel.
