  VAT4956 - 530 BC destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar

  by jwposter in

  2. bible

  in my studies, i have concluded that year 530 bc was when the destruction of jerusalem occurred and the temple destroyed.

  i had determined this prior to investigation of vat4956.

  i had already found that the jubilees, sabbaticals, courses of the priests, and chronology attested to this.

  jwposter (quoting 1915 translation of VAT 4956):

  Jupiter apparently rose acronychally. On the 14th, the god was visible with the god; 16m passed between sunrise and moonset on the next morning

  The imaginary chronology asserted by jwposter indicates 14 April 512 BCE as the evening to check for the 'apparent' acronychal rising of Jupiter. (At a stretch he could try to wriggle a couple of days earlier if he misinterprets the meaning of "or" at the beginning of the line, but it's no better.)
  

  

  Jupiter was already high in the sky at sunset. Not remotely consistent with an acronychal rising, 'apparent' or otherwise. It would be difficult for it to be more wrong. Oh dear.

  And not forgetting that it requires an impossible date for the solstice. But at least the moon was in the right phase. 🙄

  No. An ‘apparent acronychal rising’ would not be far off an actual one, but with some difference due to glare, atmospheric conditions etc. There is nothing resembling an acronychal rising for Jupiter on the expected date in 512 BCE. Of course, in your imaginary chronology, you could be using a wrong date. If so, provide that and I can verify for it when time permits.

  So… Praesepe…

  Jupiter is achronycal on the expected date (starting in the evening of 3 May) in 568 BCE. Complete failure for your 512 BCE nonsense. Just go away.

  So He returns in the 121st Jubilee - Sept of 2040 (go look up the Astronomy in Virgo in Sept of 2040 what do you see and when?

  And so we get to the crux of it. Yet another ‘not-too-far-off’ nutty end times prediction. Good grief.

  Also, check this link. It shows that the work on the Temple BEGAN in 959 BC. It was dedicated in 950 BC.

  Your chosen article is from 1950. We know better now.

  Though jubilee years are defined in Leviticus, there is no consensus about any specific year actually being observed as a jubilee year, and the Bible doesn’t mention any jubilee years actually observed beyond the definition of the term. Logically, the tradition would point to 537 BCE and hence 587 BCE as jubilee years, and other years could be extrapolated therefrom by the most direct reading, but there also isn’t total agreement whether it should be the 49th or 50th year.

  ‘scholar’:

  pretty coloured charts

  ‘scholar’s’ ability to understand things apparently doesn’t extend beyond ‘liking pretty colours’. You have to read the words too.

  As usual, comments from ‘scholar’ (just parroting Watch Tower Society chronology) can simply be ignored.

  jwposter:

  Solomon's Temple was dedicated in 950 BC.

  The historicity of Solomon is debatable, but biblical chronology would put the completion of the temple in 959 BCE.

  Then you have the 390 years of the Kings as spoken of by Ezekiel 4.

  The 390 years began in 929 BCE, and ended in 539 BCE. (Note that the Septuagint version has a different period, which neatly corresponds to the period from the exile of Israelites to Assyria in 732 BCE during Pekah’s reign to the final deportation in 582 BCE referenced in Jeremiah 52:30. This suggests the 390 years was a later edit from the original.) See also 390 days (from review of Pure Worship.)
