  70 years of captivity?.

  i myself have always believed that when archaeology disagreed with the bible the bible must be right.

  that is how i dismissed the idea that jerusalem was destroyed in 586/587 bce.

  You write utter nonsense and the use of insulting language merely proves that your argument is weak and pathetic. Alan F and scholar have engaged in vigorous debate on chronology over many years and at every point scholar has answered his questions, solved his problems and refuted his apostate nonsense. The debate is matter of public record on this forum and it is for others to judge as to scholar's expertise or not.

  Regarding the matter of whether the tree dream has a antypical fulfillment or not is clearly evident bythe very fact of the dream's theme and that is God's Kingdom which by very defintion was a future reality. The very mention of this Kingdom of God is of itself sufficient proof that Nebuchadnezzer's experience had far wider and greater significance and this is before one looks at the other evidences on this matter.

  No one has beaten scholar for he is too smart for apostates and atheists such as Alan F, scholar kicks ass when he has to.

  The following scriptures explain the validity of the 537 BCE. 2 Chron. 36:22-23 explains the issuing of the Decree by Cyrus which would release the Jews this decree was promulgated in his first year. Ezra 1discusses further the Decree and chapter 2 discusses the preparations which by the time of the seventh month 537 BCe the Jews had already returned home, pleas not Ezra 3:8. From these texts one can see that there is an adequate historical basis for the Return by the seventh month 537 BCE.

  In short the scriptural basis for 537 BCE is based on the last few verses of 2 Chronicles and the introductory chapters of Ezra so I have answered your question, solved your problem

  The matter is very simple clear for the entire chapter 4 of Daniel is concerned with the future Kindgom of God that as a reality was demonstrated to Nebuchadnezzer by his temporary absence from the throne for a period of seven literal years. After this lesson he confessed belief in the reality of this Kingdom and its current and future role. So, reason dictates that if the tree dream is not only about the present and the future then the dream can only be interpreted with both a literal and figurative application hence the prophecy and historical reality of the Gentile Times referred to by Jesus himeself who in his Olivet Discourse made reference to Daniel.

  If you pay attention to apostate propaganda which seeks to pervert the truth of the Bible then all that you end up is weak faith, confusion and laziness as to Christian Watchfulness.

  Scholar is no moron. Celebrated WT scholars have proven beyond any shadow of doubt from the Bible that 607 BCE is the only date for the Fall of Jerusalem. This may disturb and upset you but scholar himeself has exained all of the evidence olver many decades and has come to the same conclusion.What about that? The matter has been well and thoroughly proven and such proof has been presented in the many publications of the WT Society for all to read, examine and study. The proof presented is irrefutable and even the most clever of apostates one Carl Jonsson failed to disprove the matter, so there!

  The scriptures provide the historical facts that enable a competent scholar to calculate the precise date for the Return and this was 537 BCE which is the view of most scholars. Thus there is solid biblical and historical evidence for the date of 607 BCE beginning the definite historic period of seventy years nicely ending in 537 BCE. Therefore with all of this abundant evidence we can be confident that 1914 CE marked the end of the Gentile Times which began in 607 BCE. The evidence from all sides testifies to these facts . In fact it is demonic to ignore these facts and rely upon a chronology that proposes other false dates such as 586/587 which negate prophecy.

  Interpretations belong to God who has always and at the present reveals such matters to His servants, the True Church who then have the responsibilty of making known to others such interpretations. You need to read Daniel carefully verse by verse and read other commentaries on the book including those published by the WT Society. The book of Daniel most certainly abounds with moth literal and figurative elements so the problem is for you to deal with not me.

  Alan F was vanquished by scholar on every occasion and this is a matter of public record for the very fact that scholar disputed on every occasion over many years proves that scholar was a most worthy opponent and he is still going strong whereas Alan F has retreated into his hole defeated by scholar. The same could also be said of Jeffro and many others who sought to defeat scholar on chronology.

  I agree and because our calculation is based on the Bible and in harmony with its entirety, simple to explain and understand proves the validity of the interpretation.

  The historical evidence supports 607 BCE rather than the fictitious dates of 586 or 587BCE but more importantly our date is biblically based because it considers the historical period of the seventy years. Your dates do not consider the 70 years as a fixed historical period so your comments are foolish.

  Your regnal based chronology based on Ptolemy's Canon does not account for the seventy years whereas our superior event-based chronology does.
