nebuchadnezzar's 37th year matches the year 588 bc?
any independant astronomer can test it and it only matches 568 bc.. .
scholar:
I care little for your opinion as you never contribute anything anew except some pretty charts.
hahaha... poor 'scholar' had to resort to throwing a tantrum. Maybe you should write to Watch Tower to tell them they're wrong that most secular historians say 587 BCE. đ¤Ł

According to you but most scholars prefer 586 rather than 587 so you have a BIG POBLEM here
It is not the case that a significant majority of scholars prefer 586, but any who do are wrong. No "poblem" for me whatsoever. Even mother Watch Tower disagrees with you.
The Watchtower, 1 October 2011, page 31:
Secular historians usually say that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 B.C.E.
The Watchtower, 1 November 2011, pages 22, 27:
However, most scholars date the destruction of Jerusalem at 587 B.C.E. ... At present, the majority of secular historians believe that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 B.C.E.
My suggestion to you is to consult other translations more particular how this verse is rendered in the NWT-Reference which is more to the point.
𤣠Most translations of Jeremiah 29:10 properly refer to 70 years for Babylon. Even in the rendering of the few translations that incorrectly allude to 70 years as a period at Babylon, the 70 years doesn't include the journey home, and allows the 70 years to end before attention is given to their return. But the JW interpretation is a distorted mess because they say the 70 years (which supposedly started more than a decade after most of the Jews were already in exile) ended only once they'd arrived in Judea. Worse still, in the JW interpretation, most of the Jews are in exile for over 80 years, some are in exile for less than 70 years and others are in exile for about 65 years.
There is nothing new in any of your other recent responses. Just the same old nonsense based on JW wishful thinking.

My comment demonstrates that based on Daniel 9:1-2 and 2 Chronicles 36:22-23 that the 70 years could only have ended after the Fall of Babylon in 539 BCE with the Return of the jews under Cyrus in 537 BCE.
No. It doesn't. Not even slightly. Since it was âonly when the 70 years have been fulfilled [that] judgement against Babylon [would] proceedâ, then the conquest of Babylon in 539 BCE necessarily follows the end of the 70 years. Which was then followed by the Jews returning to Judea.
SDA Theology might be nuts in part but the scholarly community are indebted to the work of Edwin Thiele the celebrated Chronologist who championed 586 BCE for the Fall and not 587 BCE.
586 is the wrong year. Hardly his best work. A notable individual advancing the wrong year only confused the issue, but the correct year is quite definitely 587 BCE.
Simple the verse explains that Jehovah would fulfil His promise for the jews to be released from their captivity and exile returning home to restore pure worship.
You haven't even attempted a valid response with regard to what the passage actually says. Your interpretation requires that the Jews arrive in Judea, the 70 years end, and then attention is given to their return. It is a complete distortion of the passage. I realise it's impossible for you to provide a valid response because your entire position is wrong. But you could at least try.

Rocketman123:
So the ending reality to what happened to Jerusalem and the surrounding area is that it was under servitude for almost 70 years by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar but was only laid desolate for approximately 47 +/- a couple of years after he finally destroyed much of the city including the main temple in 586 BCE, captivating much of the predominant inhabitants to Babylon.
There are we all happy now ?
The WTS's dating of Jerusalem's destruction in 607 BCE has little or no background support from various confirmed sources including the bible.

Indeed I have done that as you have requested by listening and reading His Word, the Bible and it tells me in Jeremiah 25:12 that only when the 70 years have been fulfilled would judgement against Babylon proceed and not before.
𤣠Your own comment demonstrates that the 70 years couldnât have ended any later than 539 BCE when Babylon was âjudgedâ. Also have to laugh at the tedious honorific capitalisation of pronouns. đ
Also. Daniel who quoted Jeremiah states in Daniel 9: 1-2 that in the first year of Darius the 70 years was yet to be fulfilled or ended and that 1 st year was after Babylon's Fall in 539 BCE.Nothing about Daniel 9:1-2 suggests that the 70 years were âyet to be fulfilledâ. Especially since by that time, Babylon had already been judged and âonly when the 70 years have been fulfilled would judgement against Babylon proceedâ.

All that effort and still doggedly clinging to JW propaganda.
Tell us, oh great scholar, how attention was given to the Jewsâ return after the Jews had already returned (as is required by the JW interpretation of Jeremiah 29:10-14). đ¤Ł

Furuli carried out independent research and has always shown to be an independent thinker and scholar right from the days of his first published work.
Heâs certainly an âindependent thinkerâ as far as scholarly consensus goes. 𤣠But itâs blatantly obvious that his efforts were targeted at âaffirmingâ JW interpretations. All those pesky verses at just the wrong places that need novel explanations. đ¤Ł
Further, your claim to have arrived independently as the best scholarship amounts to the simple fact that you were either directly or indirectly influnence by Carl Jonsson's GTR.
Fallacy: argument from incredulity. As much as it pains you to realise that multiple people can independently arrive at the same factual conclusionr from the information in the Bible, I hadnât even heard of Jonsson, his book, or this forum, or even any other secular arguments about the period when I first thoroughly debunked the JW 607 doctrine.
