What most forget is, that every 7th year was a leap year and had the extra-month of AdarII added to harmonize again the lunar and the solar calender. So it plainly had 390 days, not 360 as the previous 6. So one could argue that 7times taken a day for a year could mean 2550 years! That would bring us to the fall of 1944 counted from 607 BC.
But many agree that Jerusalem fell in 586/587. If we now apply this rule, we end up in 1964.

No, the extra month of Adar II was added seven times every 19 years (on average) in the 354-day lunisolar calendar, not the 360/364-day solar calendar. The solar calendar (which was short one day compared to the 365-day Julian calendar) only needed a leap week every 7 years to harmonize with the solar cycle....although this was only a partial synchronization since like the Julian calendar you would still have a drift of the equinoxes over several centuries.
All the Evangelicals have there own system for the Daniel prophecy. Last one I heard was 2069.....and another one was 2012..and another one was 2023...and on and on...
