Question
In Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem".
Can tell me what year this commandment was declared?
Answer
Probably the most explicit prophetic directive is in the first chapter of Chaggai, who exhorted the Jewish people to return from the exile and rebuild Jerusalem.
