King Darius then issued an order, and they searched in the archivesstored in the treasury at Babylon. A scroll was found in the citadel of Ecbatana in the province of Media.
In the first year of King Cyrus, the king issued a decree concerning the temple of God in Jerusalem:
Let the temple be rebuilt as a place to present sacrifices, and let its foundations be laid. It is to be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide, with three courses of large stones and one of timbers. The costs are to be paid by the royal treasury. Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, are to be returned to their places in the temple in Jerusalem; they are to be deposited in the house of God.
The temple was completed on the third day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.
Why?
The Lord has made the way and prepared the needed to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. So the governors and officials asked King and got the response. And supported the financial support, returned the articles of God's temple.
Everything looks so smoothly going, but God is the sovereign Lord who makes every detail thing and people actions.
How?
Praise the name of the Lord and give thinks to the Lord
