  ‘scholar’:

  The fact is that Daniel refers to a period during Neb's reign in which he was vacant from the throne. This period is accepted to be a literal seven years that must be factored in any scheme of Neb's reign for Chronology. The period must be inserted after Neb's 19 th year-607 BCE and before the end of his reign so you have much to play with.

  Restating the claim made in the story is not a valid response to the question. It just reminds us that you don’t understand the period or context in which Daniel was written. But the point is well made… you have no stable chronology of the neo-Babylonian period.

  586 or 587 BCE are bogus dates for the Fall of Jerusalem. Since 1975 when A.K.Grayson published his translation of BM 21946 scholars remain uncertain about which date either 586 or 587 is correct. Currently, the said scholar would propose that it is an even split between both candidates. Further, confusion remains about the methodology surrounding such a contention.

  And you’re wrong.

  Okay Jeffro l will clear off 🤣🤣.

  You’re welcome to stay, but it’s rather odd when people go to a thread just to say they aren’t interested in the subject. I’m not remotely interested in knitting but I’m not going to go to a knitting club just to tell them knitting is a waste of time.

  Back on the original purpose of this thread, which seems to have been derailed from the first reply...

  Boogerman:

  it-1 p. 881 Galatians, Letter to the ... According to the Bible, (which never implies let alone mentions a "governing body") the apostle Paul was used to resolve the circumcision issue.

  Insight is in good ('bad') company with the Bible for its dishonest presentation of events about Paul.

  According to Paul's conversion story in Acts chapter 9 (conveniently written after Paul's death), after his 'vision' of Jesus and while still blinded, he is found by Ananias in Damascus where he remains for some time (but not years), and then went to see the disciples in Jerusalem. But in Paul's version in Galatians, he "did not immediately consult with any human" (and explicitly not those in Jerusalem) and instead went off to Arabia (Galatians 1:16-17), only going to Damascus after that, and not going to Jerusalem until 3 years later (Galatians 1:18).

  The seven years of Neb are presented as the seven times or seen years in Dan 4.

  That is not an answer to the question that was asked. Typical vapid misdirection. Which specific seven years?

  The identity of the WT researchers is not disclosed but sincere inquirers could write to WT for further information.

  ‘scholar’:

  There are no facts that clearly establish 587 as opposed to 586 BCE for if this was the case then 587 nBCE would be universally endorsed by current scholarship.

  587 BCE is actually the preferred dating in scholarship since the publication of BM 21946, and no analysis of the primary texts since then supports 586 BCE. But aside from that, the cognitive dissonance is astounding coming from someone who accepts the JW nonsense about 607 BCE.

  Notice how the tedious apologist continues to ignore the actual facts provided that demonstrate his claims to be false.

  Note that ‘scholar’ did not address these requests for specific information:

  • the actual range of 7 years you’re referring to.
  • the identities of the “researchers” who the Watch Tower Society says analysed the lunar eclipse observations in VAT 4956.
    

  He also did not respond to the actual facts that confirm Jerusalem’s destruction in 587 BCE or the details of the solstice referenced in VAT 4956.

  Instead he made vague trite appeals to tradition, religious dogma, and fallacious appeals to authority.

  Pathetic.

  I used Cartes du Ciel to check all the observations of VAT 4956. 588 BCE is not a valid candidate.

  See page 17 of Divided Kingdom Timeline and page 20 of JW Timeline.

  1. Was Jerusalem destroyed in 586 or 587 BCE?

  You’re still banging that drum? 🥱 It was 587 BCE.

  https://jeffro77.wordpress.com/2022/11/17/586-or-587

  2. Why have you and Ptolemy omitted any reference to the missing 7 years of Neb's regnal vacancy?

  There are no missing 7 years. The contemporary records confirm a known continuous reign. But since you’re so intent on wanting to know specific years, specify the actual range of 7 years you’re referring to.

  Says who? You are no expert or authority on ancient Babylonian astronomy.

  🤣 Just because you don’t understand solstices, it doesn’t mean other people don’t. ‘scholar’ is wilfully ignorant, but for honest readers: VAT 4956 (line 16 on the front) indicates the summer solstice on the 9th day of the 3rd month. During the Neo-Babylonian period, the Julian date of the summer solstice must fall within the range of 27–30 June. For 568 BCE, the 9th day of the 3rd month corresponds to 29 June, exactly as expected. However, because the Watch Tower Society claims that Nisanu of 588 BCE began on 3 May, this would require that the summer solstice occurred on 9 July, which is impossible.

  Now, since ‘scholar’ is so concerned about credentials and expertise, what are the identities of the “researchers” who the Watch Tower Society says analysed the lunar eclipse observations in VAT 4956?

  K, bye. Glad you could drop by.

  Also, there’s no reasonable basis for the belief that Jesus ‘died for our sins’.
