MMM:They do reference Jerimiah. And Jerimiah has very clear language.It's not that Jerimiah was or was not "all about" the Exile. He talks about it. But he doesn't equate it to the 70 years.scolar: False. Ezra and Daniel when referring to the Exile quote Jeremiah's prophecy of the 70 years thus proving that Jeremiah linked the Exile with the 70 years.
You've put yourself on the horns of a dilemma: Either the Bible contradicts itself, or the WT is incorrect - which do you choose? Your statement above prefers the Bible to contradict. Jerimiah's language is so plain and simple, attempts to "clairify" it by later prophets just means there is a contradiction in the scriptures. You are asserting "Yes, Jerimiah referred to seventy years of servitude, not equated to the desolation, and yes, he said plainly that it applied to many nations (plural), and yes he explicitly stated that the seventy years would end and then the desolation would end, but you know, Jerimiah was really sloppy with his writing. Yeah the language is really clear, but golly gosh darn, it seems what he REALLY meant was something completely different. He meant it WAS the seventy years wasn't servitude, and applies to Judah only (singular), and ends together with the seventy years, because they are the same thing. See? Ezra just "clairifies" all of that for us."
