JW Bible "SCHOLARS" Why do U think that itwas SO Wise 4 the Society 2 use the Year 539BC as an ABSOLUTE Date ?

Question

Remember that Brother Russel and his IMMEDIATE Associates Decided after an (EXTREMELY) Extensive Bible Study that the "Worldly" Date of 539 B.C.E. was the "Foundation" 4 Understanding the END of the "Gentile Times" in the Year 1914 AND Then ALL (OTHER) Bible Prophecies ! ! !

Why was the year 539 B.C.E. So (CRITICAL) to having an "Accurate" Understanding of Bible Chronology and Utimately the year 1914 ???

Lavender; Hasn't Silenced Lamb had a "Talk with You" about How YOU R "Supposed" 2 (TOTALLY) Ignore Me; Like ALL tHE (other) apostates ???

p.s. I could Block You; BUT "Eyes" Love tH.E. "Action" ! ! !

Answer 1

The Bible expresses dates in relation to the lifetime of individuals, the period during which certain rulers were in office, or other notable events. It contains the only complete chronology reaching back to the time of Adam’s creation. Bible chronology also pinpointed in advance the time when certain important events in the fulfillment of God’s purpose would take place. The Gregorian calendar, which is now popular in much of the world, did not come into use until 1582. In secular sources there is disagreement on dates given for events in ancient history. However, certain key dates, such as 539 B.C.E. for the fall of Babylon, and hence 537 B.C.E. for the Jews’ return from captivity, are well established. (Ezra 1:1-3) Using such dates as starting points, it is possible to express in terms of current calendars the dates for ancient Biblical events.And events that would take place in the future.

Answer 2

The New World Translation labels historical dates (called keys within it,) to help understand why they came to the theory. (The keys can be found in other translations also such as the King James.) The Watchtower does not claim infallibility, though – and does not prophecies. Russell’s teaching are very out of date, and some (although few) have been proven false. It was never claimed by Witnesses or himself this could not happen.
Part of the understanding of when the last days would come is reviled in King Nebuchadnezzar dream interpreted by Daniel. I warmly suggest you read the book of Daniel, and also if needed a copy of the publication ‘’Pay Attention to Daniel’s Prophecy.’’ This book will help describe why the date 1914 (or somewhere around that time) was chosen as the beginning of the last days.
And also note that the Witnesses do not claim Armageddon is coming at a certain time. A day to God is like 1000 days to man according to the Bible. There are also prophecies in Revelation that have not happened yet. When referring to the last days don’t get the idea Witnesses are saying – It could be here tomorrow. You see we are urged to keep acting like it could so it won’t come upon us as a thief, according to the Bible no one – not even the Son knows.

Answer 3

Nebuchadnezzar’s “seven times” involved seven years. In prophecy, a year averages 360 days, or 12 months of 30 days each. (Compare Revelation 12:6, 14.) So the king’s “seven times,” or seven years, were 360 days multiplied by 7, or 2,520 days. But what about the major fulfillment of his dream? The prophetic “seven times” lasted much longer than 2,520 days. This was indicated by Jesus’ words: “Jerusalem will be trampled on by the nations, until the appointed times of the nations are fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24) That ‘trampling’ began in 607 B.C.E. when Jerusalem was destroyed and the typical kingdom of God ceased to function in Judah. When would the trampling end? At “the times of restoration of all things,” when divine sovereignty would again be manifested toward the earth through symbolic Jerusalem, the Kingdom of God.—Acts 3:21.
If we were to count 2,520 literal days from Jerusalem’s destruction in 607 B.C.E., that would bring us only to 600 B.C.E., a year having no Scriptural significance. Even in 537 B.C.E., when the liberated Jews were back in Judah, Jehovah’s sovereignty was not manifested on the earth. That was so because Zerubbabel, the heir to David’s throne, was made not king but only governor of the Persian province of Judah.
Since the “seven times” are prophetic, we must apply to the 2,520 days the Scriptural rule: “A day for a year.” This rule is set out in a prophecy regarding the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. (Ezekiel 4:6, 7; compare Numbers 14:34.) The “seven times” of earth’s domination by Gentile powers without interference by God’s Kingdom therefore spanned 2,520 years. They began with the desolation of Judah and Jerusalem in the seventh lunar month (Tishri 15) of 607 B.C.E. (2 Kings 25:8, 9, 25, 26) From that point to 1 B.C.E. is 606 years. The remaining 1,914 years stretch from then to 1914 C.E. Thus, the “seven times,” or 2,520 years, ended by Tishri 15, or October 4/5, 1914 C.E.
In that year “the appointed times of the nations” were fulfilled, and God gave rulership to “the lowliest one of mankind”—Jesus Christ—who had been considered so base by his foes that they even had him impaled. (Daniel 4:17) To enthrone the Messianic King, Jehovah loosened the symbolic iron and copper bands around the “rootstock” of his own sovereignty. The Most High God thus allowed a royal “sprout” to grow from it as a manifestation of divine sovereignty toward the earth by means of the heavenly Kingdom in the hands of David’s greatest Heir, Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 11:1, 2; Job 14:7-9; Ezekiel 21:27) How we thank Jehovah for this blessed turn of events and for unraveling the mystery of the great tree!

Answer 4

It would seem that the questioner refers to the "Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society" in its longtime role as the legal entity listed as publisher of most Jehovah's Witness publications before 2005.

Answer 5

Do you KNOW that when the JW's SCHOLARS (aren't all of you scholars?) make predictions of the END TIMES and it DON'T come to be so, that is considered FALSE PROPHESYING? Did CHRIST JESUS say to " BEWARE OF THE FALSE PROPHETS THAT FALSE PROPHESY." ALL the WRONG End Times that YOU said WILL BE SO, also makes YOU a PROMISE one that BREAKS PROMISES. A PROMISE IS A PROMISE THAT CAN'T BE BROKEN. That is the same as "JHVH GOD CANNOT LIE". Again and so YOU LIE. Now all what I said, "HOW MANY LAWS FROM THE BIBLE DID YOU BREAK?"

Thumbs down again. Is something wrong with you..............it can't be ME.

I didn't see if you had a message for me. You are very welcome for the "special star". Please, try not to give me any thumbs down, or I may think you are prejudice towards me. Everyone is special in their own way or JHVH God would not have them here, right.
