Indeed Jer. 25;12 describes the punishment on Babylon only after the 70 years had ended and not before. The judgement on Babylon also involved apart from the city but its King or rulership and the Land which was fulfilled overtime ending in its complete desolation which did not happen in 539 BCE experiencing a Fall only. Pretty clear!!

You should leave the hysterics aside and focus on the real issue at hand and practice critical thinking and use your common sense.

Sorry. That opinion does not work for the Bible clearly shows that the 70 years ended with the Return of the Jewish Exiles in 537 BCE and not with the Fall of Babylon in 539 BCE. In 539 BCE the Jews were still in Babylon not yet then released and Judah was still desolated so such a hypothesis is impossible.

WT Chronology in connection with the doctrine of the Gentile Times ending in 1914 CE is well based on Daniel 4 attested by Luke 21:24. Further, the book of Jeremiah does not deal with 70 weeks but 70 years for the 70 weeks prophecy is described in Daniel 9 which is based on the prayer of Daniel on the basis of the 70 years of Desolation lamented by Daniel the prophet.
Make sure your mental gymnastics is accurate and fair!!!

WT scholars and the said scholar love facts and only deal with facts for we are factual and love the Bible. Do you?

The date 537 BCE is generally accepted by scholars for the Return of the Jews which means once you go back 70 years you arrive at 607 BCE. nice and easy!!!!!
You need to reread Jer. 25:12
Daniel provides context essential in the understanding of matters. Nice and Easy!!!!
We are talking about Darius the Mede in the case of Daniel 9:1

You are not prepared to debate the matter because you will lose as the said scholar has a long history on this forum of engaging in intense debate on this topic over many years so I have nothing to fear. The Bible presents the facts about what happened to the Jews during the period of Babylonian domination and such facts can only support 607 BCE for the Fall of Jerusalem and not 586 or 587 BCE

it is nice to Finkelstein's hysterical nonsense which shows the weakness and foolishness of the arguments trying to disprove 607 BCE for the Fall of Jerusalem proven by the biblical 70 years of Jeremiah the prophet.
