  Now sit back and watch the 'feathers fly' as the apostates 'beat' themselves over the brilliant scholarship of the 'celebrated WT scholars' whose humble research glorifies Jehovah and His Word and is greatly

  appreciated by 'scholar'.

  Of course they don't know the precise year, you nitwit! One of the Kings in the chronology (I believe it was Labashi-Marduk, but I'll have to check) only ruled 9 months before he was assassinated. The Bible doesn't tell us what month he began his rule, so his rule could have started and ended in the same calendar year, or started in one calendar year and ended in another.

  No, the Bible confusion over the years comes from one verse saying Jerusalem was destroyed in the 19th year of Neb's reign, while another verse says the 18th year of Neb's reign.

  The year 587 (18th year) has been established via the secular records.

  As is typical with any witness, they provide "evidence" without any foundation. Scholar, please provide references or sources to your material.

  Your #4 uses circular reasoning, by the way: 1914 is true because it's calculated from 607.... and 607 is true, because otherwise 1914 cannot be derived.

  I am not interested in writing up a long list of references or Bibliography or sources because much of what I have stated is well substantiated either in scholarly literature. WT publications. the Bible itself and Josephus. The compiling of such a list of sources is far too time consuming but I am happy to provide such only if it is absolutely if the inquirer has already done some 'legwork' Scholar is not for lazy people and expects others to work hard at chronology as he has done for these past thirty years.

  Much of what I have stated is well known and accepted as common knowledge in ancient history, chronology and archaeology eg, the Fall of Babylon in 539 BCE and the other events are well described in the Bible itself such as Jeremiah, Daniel, Kings etc.

  Point 4 is not about circular reasoning but simply demonstrates that an interpretation can be derived from dated events in biblical history coinciding with the fulfilment of prophecy culminating as a derived date in a modern context. The validity of 1914 is well validated by the foundation of 607 BCE and its attenuating circumstances of the end of Judean Monarchy, the reality of God's Kingdom as described by Daniel and the rise and develoipment of Gentile World Powers.

  Cognac,

  Careful analysis of the 607...1914 connection is not laid out in the Bible. Instead, it is all confirmed right here:

  

  If you can get your hands on Studies in the Scriptures, Vol. 3 "Thy Kingdom Come", published 1910, a fascinating "revelation" begins on page 309. The study is entitled, "The Testimony of God's Stone Witness and Prophet, the Great Pyramid in Egypt".

  Your husband really should read Russell's bullsh!t on which WTBTS theology is completely based.

  Your comments are ludicrous. When the going gets tough the apostates blame the Bible. You and your cronies have no idea of a precise date for the Fall of Jerusalem and until you can establish a precise date then you have no business in dismissing 607 BCE. The celebrated WT scholars have for many decades proved a precise date for the Fall and that is 607 BCE and this has been done using the same biblical data that you are whining about. Do not blame the Bible for your incompetence. When you and others find the correct date then you are in a position to becritical of other proposals.

  By the way serious scholars do not accept 587 BCE but rather prefer 586 BCE so you misrepresent scholarship when you claim that 587 BCE has been established via the secular records. This is utter nonsense as you well know.

  The twenty year gap has been proved by means of biblical chronology and this has been ably researched by Rolf Furuli and invites criticism from all those qualified to do so. I have read with interest your debates with Furuli and others on this subject and at every turn your criticisms have been dealt with. If you are such an authority on the subject then why not have your research published in a respected journal or is it simply fact that you are not a expert in ancient astronomy?

  In regard to the twenty year gap it is what the Bible has to say on this matter is more important than what scientific opinion in the field of ancient astronomy has to say on this matter and that should be the primary focus.
