The rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple was prophesied by Jeremiah to occur at a very specific time. We can trace the fulfillment of the prophecy through the biblical book of Ezra and the parallel historic records of Babylon and Persia.
The prophecies of Jeremiah concerning the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple are found in two places:
Jeremiah 25:8-11
Jeremiah 29:10
We are told the people would be restored to Jerusalem and the temple would be rebuilt after 70 years. But how do we know that it really ever happened? This message will walk you through the biblical record of the events leading to the restoration of the temple found in the book of Ezra which tie into the known dates of history and show the project coming in right on schedule.
In addition to being a wonderful internal proof of the bible's historic and prophetic validity, it is a reminder that God's prophecies are not only warnings of judgment... but also wonderful promises of retoration, redemption and renewal.
