Hahaha. Mildly curious to see your list of sources arguing for 586 over 587—not just parroting tradition but providing argumentation. But I won’t hold my breath. Your previous promised responses have been delayed since Christmas. Of 2013. 😂

Kelley959’s method, using twelve 360-day years and seven 390-day years per Metonic cycle, results in a period that is 110 days too long per cycle.

Your comment proves that you have no knowledge of Chronology and the issues that scholars deal with. Would you like me to give you a Reading List on the subject of 586 vs 587?

Hahaha once again a response bereft of any argumentation whatsoever. If you have any sources presenting argumentation for 586, just provide them. However, I am yet to see any argument for 586 that is compatible with a correct understanding of the relevant dating systems. And obviously 607 has been thoroughly debunked to the point that it’s beyond a joke.

70 years of servitude, scholar. Not desolation.

For starters, The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings, Edwin Thiele; Handbook of Biblical Chronology, Jack Finegan; The Chronology of the Old Testament, Floyd Nelson Jones.
Enjoy!!

Nope. The seventy years was a period of the Exile in Babylon, Desolation of the Land of Judah and Servitude to Babylon beginning with the Fall of Jerusalem in 607 BCE. and ending with the Return in 537 BCE. Nice and easy!!!

You're such a doofus. Of course the Bible never mentions 70 years of exile at all. But it's worse than that. According to the Bible, attention would be given to the Jews' return after 70 years had ended. But according to pseudo-scholar and other JWs, the Jews have already returned when the 70 years ends (even though most of the Jews remained in Babylon and the 'return' in 538 BCE was actually just permission to rebuild the temple), so turning attention to their return after they've arrived is just stupid.

All this date calculating by the JWS was futilely redundant and an act of apostasy for centuries after the words by the Prophet Daniel were made Jesus Christ said that no one knows of the time not even he.
Once again proving the JWS are false prophet apostate charlatans.

Ho hum... no argumentation provided and nothing new here. Only one of those is a recent source, and he inconsistently applies dating systems for the reigns of Jehoiakim and Zedekiah (giving Zedekiah a 13-month accession period) resulting in his error of 586.
