Two Macedonian kings, Philip II (ruled 359-336 bc) and his son Alexander the Great (ruled 336-323 bc), filled the power vacuum in Greece by turning their formerly weak kingdom into an international superpower.
The mountainous kingdom of Macedonia, north of the central Greek heartland, eventually became the leader of Greece and conqueror of the Persian empire.
Philip was murdered by a Macedonian noble in 336 bc (possibly as part of a palace plot), but Alexander, who succeeded him, continued to pursue his father’s goal.

 457BC_WhyCorrect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
There is a short gap between 404 BC and 403 BC with a couple of minor kings during that gap.  This was apparently due to political situations at the palace.
To begin, the author wishes to show why 444 BC is not the correct date for the beginning of the 70 weeks/years prophecy.  Then the reasons why 457 BC is the correct date will be covered.
There are several flaws in the arguments against 457 BC as the correct date for the fulfillment of the 70 weeks/years prophecy.  These flaws listed here are the common ones the author has run into, but certainly there probably exist other arguments against it.
