It is all smoke and mirrors with your exhaustive deconstruction of WT chronology. With all being said you cannot provide an alternative biblical chronology. So, the biblical data and the secular data is meaningless. But WT chronology has certainly tried and has provided a consistent fallible bible chronolgy which has served as a framework for the fulfillment of prophecy. Perhaps, you should tell Carl Jonsson these facts that he is wasting his time with any chronology because it is meaningless, perhaps you should rewrite the Bible and omit those texts that contain any chronological data because such information is mythical.
Whatever your criticism of WT chronology amounts to, you still cannot provide an alternative to the Lord's chronology so in the absence of any surety from you I will continue to defend our accurate and splendid chronology.
Your inability or laziness in providing a chronology of the Divided Monarchy shows how puerile your comments on Wt chronology is . Many scholars have worked on this subject and have met this challenge but you cannot. WT chronology has from the earliest times also faced up to and met this challenge and continues similarly to this day providing a workable, consistent chronology for both Israel and Judah. This is the real test of the chronologist. However, all you can do is criticize the faithful labours of honest and humble men who love God, his Son and his Word. Frankly, your comments are despicable and show that you are a fool because you do not even believe in the Christian message, the Bible, prophecy and chronology.
