Applegate;s article is a full exegesis of the principal seventy year texts and their relationship to Jeremiah and his principal text. Such exegesis does not support your whacky nonsense and thos of Jonsson. But you have not read this paper so how can you express any opinion?

For a third party perspective you should read Applegate's paper published in 1997 which destroys the Jonsson and your garbage theories.

can anyone provide me with any evidence (links to other sites is fine) that jerusalem could not have possibly fallen to the babylonians in 607?
thanks again for your answers.

Wrong again! It is impossible for the seventy years to end in 539 BCE with the demise or Fall of Babylon for at least three sound reasons:
1. The Jews as exiles were still in Babylon after 539 BCE not returning home until 537 BCE.
2. The Jews as exiles in Babylon were still the King of Babylon after 539 BCE because a new Babylonian regime was installed with the Medes and Persians.
3. The land of Judah after 539 BCE was still enjoying its foretold sabbath resting as a desolated place until it was repopulated with the returned exiles in 537 BCE.

It is you whot is bamboozled by facts. As I have repeatedly told you that chronology consists of a methodology and interpretation and that applies to all and any such scheme. The claims of celebrated WT scholars can hardly be grandiose as such are consistent with tradition and are Bible-based wheras yours are based upon a chronology that produces confusion and trivializezs the seventy years.. It is your dogma that is flawed not mine.

No, that is not misleading at all because if Grayson has not presented modern calender dates with the regnal years then it quite appropriate to provide a conversion scheme relative to those regnal years according to one's methodology as long as the reader is advised of this. The reader is thus advised because of the use of parenthesis.
I think if you are going to make a case out of your alleged misuse of a quote fro Harper's Bible Dictionary then you provide a photocopy of the relevant page and then we can proceed from there.

Indeed through the columns of the the Watchtower such research in support of 607 has been published, you can trace such research by means of the Watchtower Index.
The Appendic indeed cites secular evidence as we as biblical evidence for the fact of 607 it is simply case that you choose to ignore what you read. One such secular reference in support of 607 would be Josephus.

All that the writers of the Insight volumes have done is to insert accurate biblical dating by means of parenthesis to alert the reader when the regnal dates occur in history. This appropriate academic practice as the brackets show that these dates were not in the quoted source.

Your interpretation of the seventy years akin the Jonsson hypothesis fails and is flawed because it denies the basic facts that this period was one of a period of desolation, one of servitude and one of exile all being concurrent. from 607 until 537 BCE.

The Watchtower is a leading religious and scholarly journal and has brought to attention to all its readers and to the public developments in relation to chronology. The arguments in the Appendix are a simple presentation of both the biblical and secular evidence in support of the well established date of 607 bce.
