Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?

if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

My question is that if this 70-year period of fasting began with a definite event such as the destruction of Jerusalem then what event marked its ending in 518 BCE?
The ‘event’ was that it was then that Sharezer and Regem-Melek asked the question. It is directly stated in the passage. Some people really are thick. Your question implies that you think that some remarkable things should happen beyond simply asking about the fasts, probably for some weird religious symbolism or some other superstitious ‘significance’. 🤦‍♂️

In short. what your interpretation means is that the 70 years of Zechariah was a period of 'fastings' only and is a separate period to that of Jeremiah's 70 years both separate periods have different beginnings and endings and run parallel to each other in the course of Jewish history.
Your waffling circumlocutory aside, it is indeed a separate period. It’s not really ‘my interpretation’, it is clearly indicated in Zechariah 7:1-7. It specifically indicates 70 years of fasting that had continued until Darius’ 4th year (518 BCE). So it obviously isn’t referring to Babylon’s 70 years that ended decades earlier in 539 BCE. And of course it’s not referring to a nonexistent ‘70-year exile’ found nowhere in the Bible. It’s only nutty religious types like yourself who are desperate for it to mean something other than what it directly states. 😂

which cannot be figured precisely as to the ending of Zechariah's 70 years claimed to be from 587-520-515 BCE.Go figure!
More dishonest misdirection from the inept self-styled ‘scholar’ 😂. Zechariah’s 70 years is a clearly defined period that had not yet ended in 519 but had ended by the 9th month of 518 BCE, marking exactly 70 years of fasting since Jerusalem’s destruction in 587 BCE. Poor ‘scholar’ can’t handle the elegant simplicity and therefore tries to claim some ambiguous range of dates. 🤦‍♂️

I set you a challenge and you are not up for it.
😂 Nothing you have ever offered on this forum has proved to be a ‘challenge’ for me and I don’t see that changing any time soon. Your tedious demands do not constitute a ‘challenge’, and your expectation that I need to ‘prove’ anything to you is a reflection of your inflated ego.

Prove me wrong. List your argument for both texts and I will compare that with Jonsson's interpretation.
Fallacy: shifting the burden of proof. It may be that Jonsson has also correctly analysed the relevant verses, in which case his assessment may agree with mine. But mine was arrived at independently.
I have already provided links to my website that give sufficient details on all of the important aspects. It is not necessary to pander to special requests from you.

Wrong as usual. I’ve told you to stop telling that lie.
I thought Christians were supposed to be honest. Maybe he has a ‘theocratic warfare’ exemption. 😂

The NWT renders this verse more correctly
Always a red flag when the NWT uniquely renders something ‘more correctly’ (aka sectarian bias). 😂

I’ve provided sufficient details already for honest readers to make up their minds about who has ‘lost the argument’. After that, all that remains is to remind you that you’re thoroughly deluded. Maybe go and actually pay attention to what is written in some of those sources that you pretend to respect. 😂
