God had already promised years ago to restore Jerusalem and kingly rulership therein (Jeremiah 30:18 KJV) and Ezra 7:14 KJV specifically says the king's decree concerned "Judah and Jerusalem", not just temple. Judah was the entire region surrounding Jerusalem, the walled capital city within.
Please stop insisting Artaxerxes' 457 B.C. decree only concerned the temple. Ezra 7 KJV explicitly says it concerned Judah, Jerusalem, the establishment of the priesthood, education system, judicial system, constabulary, and the wall around Jerusalem in the region of Judah.
Ezra 9:9 KJV plainly says God extended mercy in the sight of the kings of Persia "to give us a wall" meaning royal authorization of a wall had been established long before 445/444 B.C. Therefore, reckoning of Daniel 9:25 KJV MUST begin at 457 B.C.
