"if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it wel enough" albert einstein.
ok i got it.
i confused myself.
so babylon became the dominant nation under nabopolasar with the invading of ninevah in 612bce then onto harran 609bce which was the biggie as far a supremacy and the 70yrs of domination. all srarted with nabo nebs dad.
then in 605 neb
was in charge of the army but not yet king and he was succesful at carchemish and conquered the hatti land. he returned to babylon to beade king as

further to what Londo111 about 539-609 as being the 70yrs.
something that has recently occured to me regarding the World Powers that ruled over God's people:
Egypt - Assyria - Babylon - Medo Persia - Greece - Rome - Anglo America
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Carchemish
Carchemish was the defining battle when the Babylonians became the World power after defeating the Assyrians for the final time at Harran in 609BCE
this gave Babylon 70yrs of dominating the surrounding lands, all of which are mentioned by Jeremiah as the cup which all the nations should drink from. or to allow themselves to come under the yoke of Babylon. How do we know it was 70yrs of being the World Power? Because the Medo Persian empire took Babylon in 539BCE!!!!! It's not hard is it.
now that is how I have it simply in my mind, in a FEW words and have explained it to my wife.
have i got it right?
Jeffro, far be it for me to correct you on this subject, i'm like Jonny 5 - More Inpuuut!!!!
"if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it wel enough" albert einstein.
Jeffro, is that true! wow, that is amazing.... 30yrs.. Jer 25:12.. but verse 11 has maybe a hundred or more references? i mean verse 12 is THE answer to what 70yrs means without any GUESSING for what a desolation may mean.
BTW thanks for your blog on this subject.

Londo111 so simply put, thanks
this is a great thread.
i have been out 3 years.
i was baptized, never df'd.
ignored the 2 or 3 phone calls from the elders, and then they left me alone.
Acts 11:26 "and, after he found him, he brought him to Antioch. It thus came about that for a whole year they gathered together with them in the congregation and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.
in 1931 Bro Jo "Da Judge" Rutherford adopted the name "Jehovah's Witnesses". Which was a change from "Bible Students".
A.H Macmillan stated in his book Faith On The March that he had no doubt that Bro Rutherford got this change from God.
Hmm Really???
I can accept that IF God had also told Da Judge to build a big house in San Diego called Beth Sarim in 1929 to accomodate the Ancient Worthies mentioned at Hebrews 11,( Abraham, David, Isaac, Jacob, Samson, Moses, Gideon, Barak, Jephthae, Samuel) after their earthly ressurection , so that they had somewere to live while being in charge of Gods Kingdom on Earth. And while they are at it, a couple of chaufered 16cyl Cadillacs to help them get around.
http://www.quotes-watchtower.co.uk/beth_sarim.html
And then sell it in 1947.... er ok
How about they build another down the road called Beth Shan in 1939 10yrs after Beth Sarim. take a look its HUGE:
http://www.seanet.com/~raines/bethshan.html
Now why would ressurected perfect humans administrating Gods Kingdom on Earth have any need for a bomb shelter?
Or how about I dont believe a thing that came out of the mans mouth. Therefore not one word he spoke was Jehovah's.
Deuteronomy 18:20-22: “‘However, the prophet who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. And in case you should say in your heart: “How shall we know the word that Jehovah has not spoken?” when the prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word does not occur or come true, that is the word that Jehovah did not speak. With presumptuousness the prophet spoke it. You must not get frightened at him.’
It's all a big joke and they got 4 generations of my family.
i remember hearing from a former elder of a situation he found himself in while conducting the old weekly bible study.
that morning only one male was present during the morning study, however that brother forgot his tie.
under instruction from the slave, any brother not properly dressed for a meeting is not to have any congregation priviledges (hold mics, talk, attendent, magazines, reading).
thanks blondie
