Consider also that Jeremiah foretells in chapter 25 that "all THESE NATIONS", plural, "must serve the king of Babylon seventy years." This prophecy had to do with far more than just Jerusalem. The Society takes this verse out of its context and forces its own ideas onto it, when any individual who is capable of basic reading comprehension would never have drawn the conclusion that this prophecy was about Jerusalem alone. There were several nations involved, and in order for it to fit all of them comprehensively--plus the fact that Jehovah would punish Babylon right after these seventy years were over--we'd have to find a date where Babylon reasonably holds control over the areas Jeremiah prophesied against.

Well, he seems to at least have found a friend with poster Titus...

Hey!

You must not take up my name in a worthless way, for I will not leave the one unpunished who takes up my name in a worthless way.

Titus, what Biblical support is there for 607 BCE? I have found absolutely none.

OK, Isaac. I have found.

Titus, what source is the WT quoting from?

Canon of Ptolemy

[During the time from Ashurbanipal], the king of Assyria, [in] whose [rule] I was born—(to wit): [21 years] under Ashurbanipal, [4 years under Ashur]etillu-ilani, his son, [21 years under Nabopola]ssar, 43 years under Nebuchadnezzar, [2 years under Ewil-Merodach], 4 years under Neriglissar, [in summa 95 yea]rs, [the god was away] till Sin, the king of the gods, [remembered the temple] . . . of his [great] godhead, his clouded face [shone up], [and he listened] to my prayers, [forgot] the angry command [which he had given, and decided to return t]o the temple é-hul-hul, the temple, [the mansion,] his heart’s delight. [With regard to his impending return to] the [temp]le, Sin, the king of [the gods, said (to me)]: ‘Nabonidus, the king of Babylon, the son [of my womb] [shall] make [me] en[ter/sit down (again)] in (to) the temple é-hul-hul!’ I care[fully] obeyed the orders which [Sin], the king of the gods, had pronounced (and therefore) I did see myself (how) Nabonidus, the king of Babylon, the offspring of my womb, reinstalled completely the forgotten rites of Sin, . . . ”
Farther along in the text Nabonidus’ mother (or grandmother) is represented as crediting Sin with granting her long life “from the time of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, to the 6th year of Nabonidus, king of Babylon, the son of my womb, (that is) for 104 happy years, . . .

Also here is no mention of Labashi-Marduk, now generally acknowledged by historians as reigning between Neriglissar and Nabonidus.

I am not troll! I am sorry for this cut-paste informations.

Bible wins. You got owned too. 607 is the date. Period

Glad to hear that, Peter. Bible first, and then other evidences. Other evidences should SUPPORT the Bible, not CONTRADICT it.

Obviously, there is no enough evidences outside of the Bible for any date, whether for 607 or 587. That's why I gave up in examining that issue.

People who claim that 587 is right, cannot say that they appreciate the Bible wholehearted.

Isaac, that's interesting idea. But there is one king without reference for the length of his reign. You know that probably....

w65 1/1 p. 29 says:

Evil-merodach reigned two years and was murdered by his brother-in-law Neriglissar, who reigned for four years, which time he spent mainly in building operations.

I mentioned that several times on this forum. There is no any evidensce that Neriglissar reigned for four years only. It is from the WT, and they admited it was wrong.

Later, the w69 2/1 p. 89 said:

As to this latter monarch, the text does not necessarily limit his reign to four years; rather it tells of something that happened in his fourth year.

Peter, I don't wanna discourage you from using your brain. My advice was friendly - take care of your brain. Use it for something more productive.
