What the said scholar knows is that Jerusalem fell in 607 BCE and not 586 or 587 BCE for the latter two years are impossible. In all of the information, you have just posted one solitary fact stands out and that is that there is no mention of the 70 years of Jeremiah which falsifies all of that information. So sad! Too bad!

@Any Lurker or questioning JW: Read Carl Jonsson’s book “The Gentile Times Reconsidered”.
I haven’t wasted much time on this topic in years because of that book. It’s just flat out the best and most thorough dissection of this topic.
However jo jo took the same course earlier in the thread that Jonsson takes in his book - the prophecy originated with Jeremiah, and the language is simple and easy to understand. Seventy years “for” Babylon. And the seventy years would end before the King of Babylon was held to account - establishing a clear order of events that can’t be reconciled with WT chronology - directly from Biblical sources.
The way scholar speaks... he (or she) does seem like a troll.
