Note the use of the floor to learn the music letters on the G clef.
The kids are holding musical solfège notes and standing on the line for that note.
The teacher was probably Mr. Morris, as this is the type of thing she would have done.
5. Babylonian Captivity
The Babylonian Captivity lasted 70 years - 69 years using 360 day prophetic years. The original Hebrew, before the Babylonian captivity, appeared differently.
Before, the Hebrews spoke Hebrew. After, the Hebrews spoke Aramaic (similar but different). The Hebrews in Babylon were
not slaves in the way we think of slaves. When given the opportunity to leave, most chose to stay in Babylon.
6. Daniel 9:25-27 Daniel prophecy
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. [kjv]
… משיחנגיד … [he]
και γνωση και συνησεις απο εξοδου λογου του αποκριθηναι και του οικοδομησαι ιερουσαλημ εως χριστου ηγουμενου εβδομαδες επτα και εβδομαδες εξηκοντα δυο και επιστρεψει και οικοδομηθησεται πλατεια και τειχος και εκκενωθησονται οι καιροι [lxx]

That this prophecy uses 360 day prophetic years was not realized until 1896 in a book "
The Coming Prince" by the former chief of Scotland Yard Sir Robert Anderson.
≈ 544 BC (Daniel)
≈ 445/444 BC (Nehemiah) Commandant to rebuild Jerusalem.
≈ 31/32 AD (Crucifixion)
= 70 AD (temple destroyed)
Jesus is the "
Messiah" (religious leader, 1st coming) and the "
King" (civil leader, 2nd coming).
7. Prince that shall come
Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. [kjv]
… משיח … [he]
και μετα τας εβδομαδας τας εξηκοντα δυο εξολεθρευθησεται χρισμα και κριμα ουκ εστιν εν αυτω και την πολιν και το αγιον διαφθερει συν τω ηγουμενω τω ερχομενω και εκκοπησονται εν κατακλυσμω και εως τελους πολεμου συντετμημενου ταξει αφανισμοις [lxx]
The
"Messiah" (first coming) is cut off, not the
"King" (second coming). For whom was Jesus "
cut off"?

Who are the
people who will destroy the city and the temple in 70 AD?
Who is the "
prince who shall come"? This is the source of the title of Anderson's book
The Coming Prince.
8. Nehemiah 2:1,5-6 Commandment to rebuild Jerusalem
The most important part of Nehemiah, not often mentioned, is that it puts a time and date on the commandment to rebuild Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 2:1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence. [kjv]
2:5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it. [kjv]
2:6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. [kjv]
The Hebrew and Babylonian month of Nison is traditionally in the spring. This precise date (e.g., in the
NIV (New International Version)), has been dated to August of 445 BC or 444 BC., about 100 years after the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel.
Note: Ezra/Nehemiah were originally
one book, not two.
9. Timeline: Prophecy of Daniel
Decree to rebuild:
173,800 days after early August of
445 BC is
March/April of
31 AD.
Temple destruction:
14,400 days before early September of
70 AD is
March/April of
31 AD.
It had to happen at this time. There was
no other way. [one drop of blood fallacy]
Matthew 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. [kjv]
10. Jerusalem and Babylon
Who were the
"Magi" and from where did they come?
Who is the most famous Magi?
What was the "Deep state" in Babylon?
