Jehovah set a day in which the living on earth whom are now living will soon be judged and the population will be completely oblivious to the fact. Jehovah knew the Day and Hour he set for when He uttered the First Prophecy in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 3:15) Amazingly this Sacred Secret is now being slowly revealed here on earth to his servants that are called by His Name (Jehovah’s Witnesses).
The Bible gives us insight about Prophecies and that the Fulfillments of them are ‘timed events’. Prophecies often have two fulfillments, a Physical one and then a Spiritual one. In some cases, especially to chosen servants, it is vice versa. To the Spiritually Inclined, a Spiritual Revelation for them to take heed and escape with their lives. Then just a moment latter, as the chosen are escaping, the Revelation of the Prophecy is given to the wicked to allow that the death they are dying is a permanent and everlasting one. So timing and action will be needed at a precise time. After all, Jehovah is the Great Time Keeper.
The Prophet Daniel gained Spiritual Insight how long the Jews would be kept in captivity by the Babylonians. Prophecy must be backed up by two or three supporting scriptures to establish the matter, “On the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter must be established.”
“Then you should lie on your left side and lay the guilt of the house of Israel on yourself. You will carry their guilt for the number of days that you lie on your side. And I will impose on you 390 days, corresponding to the years of their guilt, and you will carry the guilt of the house of Israel.
And you must complete them. “Then for a second time you will lie down, on your right side, and you will carry the guilt of the house of Judah for 40 days. A day for a year, a day for a year, is what I have given you.
Ezekiel was to lie on his left side for 390 days to “carry the error of the house of Israel,” and on his right side for forty days to “carry the error of the house of Judah,” and each day was shown to stand for a year. The two periods (of 390 years and of 40 years) thus symbolized evidently stood for the length of Jehovah’s forbearance with the two kingdoms in their idolatrous course.
So the 390 years ran from the founding of Israel in 997 B.C.E. to the destruction of Jerusalem in 607 B.C.E. — Prophecy fulfilled on 607 BCE
Judah’s 40 years ran from Jeremiah’s appointment as God’s prophet in 647 B.C.E. to Judah’s desolation in 607 B.C.E. — Prophecy fulfilled on 607 BCE
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, discerned by the books the number of years mentioned in the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah the prophet to fulfill the desolation of Jerusalem, namely, 70 years. (Daniel 9:2) This date of 607 BCE was not known by Daniel until the Priests were slaughtered, the temple utensils were stolen and taken to Babylon along with those of noble birth including the teenage Daniel. Living the experience and studying the scroll of Jerimiah – along with that start date of 607 BCE, Daniel simply added 70 years to 607 BCE which brings us to 537 BCE.
You will find that most scholar historians are in line with the Jews returning from exile in the year 537 BCE. So let’s do some simple math with the scriptures: 537 BCE + 70 years = 607 BCE
And all this land will be reduced to ruins and will become an object of horror, and these nations will have to serve the king of Babylon for 70 years.” (Jeremiah 25:11)
“But when 70 years have been fulfilled, I will call to account the king of Babylon and that nation for their error,’ declares Jehovah, (Jeremiah 25:12)
