The correct date for the decree of Artaxerxes I to rebuild the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem gives us the starting point for the prophecy of 2300 time units in Daniel 8:14. John discusses Ezra, Nehemiah, the Millerites, the Elephantine Papyri, the Samaria Papyri, the practice of paponymy, the Masoretic, Palestinian and Greek texts, the Septuagint and how modern Biblical scholarship proves that the Millerites had the correct date for the fulfillment of the prophecy, the Ark Narrative, and how Samuel becomes the High Priest as a child.
