Jerusalem was still in ruins when Nehemiah asked king Artaxerxes to restore and rebuild it.
Nehemiah 2 1Now in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was set before him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had never been sad in his presence, 2so the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, though you are not ill? This could only be sadness of the heart.”
I was overwhelmed with fear 3and replied to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should I not be sad when the city where my fathers are buried lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?”
Rebuilding an entire city, its streets and walls, and the temple, would obviously take many years. So the above verse in no way contradicts nor supersedes the previous command given to Ezra
13 years earlier.
That's why we find mention of Ezra later in the Book of Nehemiah, and why Ezra lists those who came up out of captivity to Jerusalem, which included Nehemiah (
Ezra 2:2).
Nehemiah 8:1-8
8:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that [was] before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of The Law of Moses, which the "I AM" had commanded to Israel.
8:2 And
Ezra the priest brought The Law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
8:3 And he read therein before the street that [was] before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people [were attentive] unto the Book of The Law.
8:4 And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam.
8:5 And Ezra opened the Book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people
and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
8:6 And Ezra blessed the "I AM", the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the "I AM" with [their] faces to the ground.
Yes 7 shabuwa/seven years are 360 weeks.
Where in
SCRIPTURE does it tell us this please? This
erroneous assumption of yours has already been utterly refuted. Please take the time to actually read and think about the verses that have already been shared.
H2677 - חֵצִי chêtsîy, khay-tsee'; from ; the half or middle:—half, middle, mid(-night), midst, part, two parts.
www.blueletterbible.org
The KJV translates Strong's H2677 in the following manner: half (108x), midst (8x), part (4x), midnight (3,915x), middle (1x).
This has likewise already been utterly refuted, and even from the website you've linked, if you would have taken the time to study any of it. If you had, you would have noticed where it tells you twice that there are only 125 uses of Strong's H2677 in the entire KJV:
Here (literally right above the information you cited):
KJV Translation Count —
Total: 125x
The KJV translates Strong's H2677 in the following manner: half (108x),
midst (8x),
part (4x),
midnight (3,915x),
middle (1x).
and again here:
Strong's Number
H2677 matches the Hebrew חֵצִי (
chetsiy),
which occurs 125 times in 103 verses in the Hebrew concordance of the KJV
Page 1 / 3 (Exo 12:29–Jdg 16:3)
So there is no possible way there are 3,915x occurrences of Strong's H2677 that mean midnight. It instead is a reference to Strong's H3915 which, as was previously shared, means "of the night", so that when modified by Strong's H2677 ("middle") the two terms together mean midnight.
Further, and still on the same page if you would have bothered to look (listed alongside of "Tools"), you would have found that there are only 4 references to midnight in the 3 verses already shared.
In that list, the only verses that use Strong's H2677 to indicate midnight are the
three verses that include Strong's H3915:
Exodus 12:29,
Judges 16:3 (twice) and in
Ruth 3:8. The first two are on the very first page (that you linked -
1.Exo 12:29–Jdg 16:3), and the final reference is under the second tab (
2.Rth 3:8–Dan 12:7).
You cannot provide 5 much less 3915 verses that reference midnight using Strong's H2677 and you know it. So why are you attempting to peddle such an obvious lie please? Is it intentional or out of ignorance?
You who think Jesus is JAHill and that the quran is of YHWH... shall just sit down and shut up.
No claim has ever been personally made that John Anthony Hill (JAH) is Jesus. Jesus was the human son of the virgin Mary, whom Christ
INCARNATED 2000 years ago (
John 1:14). It is
the Second Coming of CHRIST that is prophesied which, according to Christ, will be in a new body (from Joseph-Ephraim -
Gen. 49:10,
22-24)
WITH A NEW NAME (
Rev. 2:17,
3:12,
19:12) that nobody knows except for those who receive it. Perhaps you didn't get the memo?
And yes, the Koran (Quran) is obviously from YHWH, as YHWH Himself clearly states. Don't let Satan continue to con you into repeating his
satanic misinterpretation of
Isa. 14:12-17. It's obviously wrong, just like his satanic interpretation of
Dan. 9:24-27 that he has you repeating is wrong. One would have thought all of the numeric and scriptural contortions you had to go through to try to make it believable would have been your first clue it's wrong.
What is being personally shared is for everyone's benefit,
including yours, to expose the lies that Satan, through your "self" is promoting.
If you honestly believe the things you're saying are true, then why do you have such a difficult time proving them with Scripture? Wouldn't the humble, Christ-like thing to do be to at least take the time to review the information that's been shared rather than misjudge it (
Matt. 7:1-4)?
