In that year Antiochus defeats the Bactrians, and crushes the Medes and Persians and by creating vassal states takes the title 'the great. Another 40 years brings us to the year BCE. In that year the temple, which had be defiled was famously rededicated some sources say BCE.
By achieving this the Jews had acquired the ability to cast off elements of the captivity. It so happens the Rosetta stone is dated to BCE. In that time the struggle between Ptolemy V and Antiochus intensifies leading to Antiochus gaining possession of the Holy Land. In this way the general captivity of Jews becomes particular to Judea. From the last of Ezekiel's prophecy about BCE to the Hasmonean state is also years, but the earlier dates from the destruction of Jerusalem seem more convincing being logical in their beginning based on the context of the prophecy.
As different sources have dates one way or another by a year for the same event it is hard to be dogmatic, but it seems both the and the 40 fit as eras one after the other in the pattern of events directly after the prophecy.
That this era of Jewish rule after the temple re-dedication was spoken of by Daniel might support the idea that it was a reasonable end to Ezekiel's era. The reference to 'help', is divine help, which had not been extended for many years since sometime between BCE. There might be significant Roman interference, but the Jews were not in captivity in dispersion or oppressed in Judah by taxes more than any other peoples of the empire.
From the time Ezekiel's era of ends there is an increase in Jerusalem's importance, for good reason; it was the preparation of people as Daniel spoke of,. There is something curious in terms of the politics of the Holy Land in that and 40 years can be mapped into modern times in terms of an era of aliyah without hope of a state. It is presented as a curio, as it may merely be a co-incidence. In the year Jews expelled from Spain are scattered, and some make their way to the Holy Land, then ruled by the Ottomans, and settle.
Following this the expulsion also from Portugal contributes to this. Such was its scale that it is thought of as a pre-zionist aliyah. After that years comes to Again there is aliyah to the land with great expectation. It takes another 40 years to come to when after WW1 the powers that existed led by Britain use international law to encourage a Jewish state. Though there were vicissitudes the law of was not repealed.
But this may be a co-incidence. Whereas Israel neglected to follow God, Judah murdered Him. Just 40 years later, one biblical generation, the punishment came.
Again Jerusalem was besieged. Again a famine came. Again the walls crumbled. Again the temple ended in destruction and ruins. And thus is fulfilled the second part of Ezekiel's prophecy.
The parallels between the two parts of this prophecy give the evidence that the interpretation holds true. Israel and Judah both rejected God. The sins are much the same. The fulfillment of the prophecy is the same. In both cases the temple, along with the city of Jerusalem, is destroyed. Ellen White writes: "Christ came to save Jerusalem with her children; but Pharisaical pride, hypocrisy, jealousy, and malice had prevented Him from accomplishing His purpose.
Jesus knew the terrible retribution which would be visited upon the doomed city. He saw Jerusalem encompassed with armies, the besieged inhabitants driven to starvation and death, mothers feeding upon the dead bodies of their own children, and both parents and children snatching the last morsel of food from one another, natural affection being destroyed by the gnawing pangs of hunger. He saw that the stubbornness of the Jews, as evinced in their rejection of His salvation, would also lead them to refuse submission to the invading armies.
He beheld Calvary, on which He was to be lifted up, set with crosses as thickly as forest trees. He saw the wretched inhabitants suffering torture on the rack and by crucifixion, the beautiful palaces destroyed, the temple in ruins, and of its massive walls not one stone left upon another, while the city was plowed like a field.
Well might the Saviour weep in agony in view of that fearful scene. Jeremiah had prophesied these events, but it was Ezekiel's prophecy that predicted the year. If the Jews of Jesus' time had studied well these prophecies, they might have known in what year Jerusalem would again be besieged and their lives endangered in the second destruction of Jerusalem. Jesus himself foretold again the destruction of Jerusalem Are there more prophecies in the Bible which we need to understand for our own day?
Ezekiel 4 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: Ezekiel And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
