Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises
Oops of the Day
Daniel was still alive when Esther married Xerxes (Ahaseurus), emperor of the Persian Empire, and her grandson was King DARIUS, son of Xerxes (Ahaseurus) as mentioned in Daniel 9.
Esther 1:1-2 – Daniel 1:1f – Daniel 5:31 – II Kings 24 – II Chronicles 36
Fact of the Day
No! It seems like a strong possibility since Esther and Daniel were both in Persia. So,when Ezra wrote an account of these events, he was meticulous with his dates.
- DANIEL b. c. 610 BC into Jerusalem’s royal family.
- To Babylon with the rest of the royal family 594 when he may have been age 16?
- King XyaXARES of Media was Darius the Mede’s grandfather.
- KING DARIUS I (THE MEDE), reigned 522-486 using the Law of the Medes and Persians.
- In 520 when Daniel had the vision, he was c. 90 years old.
- Esther’s Artaxerxes was much later.
- KING XERXES I reigned 486-who m. ESTHER d. 464
- King Artaxerxes I: reigned 464-423 (her son?)
- His grandson was Darius II, who reigned 424–404 BC
DANIEL WOULD HAVE BEEN 186 YEARS OLD IN DARIUS II’s 1ST YEAR.
