for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.. 1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.
the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.
Compare Jeremiah 29:10 with Isaiah 50:1.
Isaiah 50:1 is prophetic, the Jews not in exile yet. Your referenced scripture is about the completion of 70 and does not establish its start, and its interpretation must also reconcile with 539-70.
Your belief depends upon interpretation but 607 depends upon 539. So unless you can debunk 539, 607 makes sense to me.

The land had to pay back its Sabbaths, resting 70 years not 47.

Gven the historical date 539, without any other obfuscation:
Since the Jews returned to Jerusalem circa 537, being in captivity 70 years,
537 -70 = 607
This isn't because the wt says as you can see.
some people like to believe in something others believe in nothing; so in what location did the substance that expanded into the time/space universe exist before the big bang?
where did the energy that caused the big band come from?
how did the substance that became the big bang change from being inert and sterile and come to life to having the properties and drive that it does?
Where is the location on earth 360.7 miles north of the North Pole? It does not exist; you cannot put a photon in there nor anything else that exists including the tiny physical substance of the big bang. How can non existing things change and become physical things?

not the prophetic mythical version
Fin, 539 is a historical date. There is nothing mythical about it nor is the 70 years of Babylonian captivity mystical.
have we ever noticed how witnesses are constantly being told that life is something that needs to be "endured", rather that "enjoyed"?.
life is always so tough, so hard, so difficult in "these last days".
"persecution and trials abound".
I always thought about that. Endurance means having to carry a load with no hope of immediate relief but a promise that relief will ultimately come. The long drawn out study articles are directed to those in pain, like Job. But also, in a general sense, it applies to everyone wanting to earn some reward; enduring 8 years of post graduate work to earn a medical degree and to complete the required medical training, for example. It pays off if you keep your eyes on the price.
i can't remember where i first heard about this movie but it was recently.
i guess they even showed it on tv.
probably payed for like an infomercial.. anyway, i looked it up on youtube and viola!.
Thank you, NikL, very interesting!

You can't apply the question, "what location" to when no space existed,
It is believed that photons, and some sub-atomic particles (not being 3 dimensional) do not occupy space ( so it is believed) But the way I see it, every thing needs a location, being inside the universe and part of it. But getting back to my OP question, since the universe is believed to begin with the big bang, what caused it to become the big bang since something physical expanded becoming the universe, requiring location outside it to contain it, and energy to fuel its expansion. Where does the expanding universe exist now, space being part of it? Does space need some location to exist?

Of course why is there something rather than nothing is the ultimate question -Cofty
No. Rather, the real question is how did it happen given the universe and its nature. To say that nothing is another option presumes that something isn't infinite but if something is in reality infinite then nothing never existed and never an option.

I found his book to be satisfying for me. -- Charles
So is the Bible something to some.
Krauss' book about nothing is scientific in the beginning but everything else is fiction. His nothing is not idle but is defined by its nature, a physical force that morphs into something.
SBF, this is off topic but your posts on this Forum are an adornment to every thread. (what a loss to wt!)
