The time of serving Babylon
did not start until captives, such as
Daniel were taken, and the king became
its servant.



The 70 years did NOT begin with the first removal of Israelites.

The 70 years began with Babylon's reign over the nations... after Babylon defeated Assyria.

God decreed the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple AFTER King Josiah's death.
Ironically, King Josiah died in battle against the king of Egypt whose army was crossing
Judah to fight along side Assyria against Babylon [609BC.] Babylon had already conquered
Assyria's capital city, Nineveh. Assyria made another stand at Harran which began in 610BC
and ended in 609BC. Assyrian empire ended in 609BC after Babylon conquered Harran.

King Josiah's son was a vassal king under the king of Egypt... then under the king of Babylon.
The first exile of Israelites happened many years after that.

The 70 years began when Babylon's power over the nations began... when Babylon defeated Assyria.

609BC when Babylon conquered Assyria to 539BC when Cyrus conquered Babylon = 70 years.

Jeremiah's 70 years refers to the rule of Babylon which began around 609BC
which was also the date of the death of Judah's righteous King Josiah
whose reign had delayed God's punishment on Israel... God had decreed Israel's
destruction after King Josiah's death. King Josiah's son was a vassal king to
the king of Egypt and the king of Babylon.

The Hebrew 70yrs being 69 solar yrs is from Nebuchadnezzar's 1st yr of reign to 539bc, the year of Cyrus' decree. Nebuchadnezzar's 1st year is 608bc. I know I have read documents that said so, but today they're saying 605bc which is not 69 solar yrs to 539bc. I believe the problem lies in historians not realizing Nebuchadnezzar's three yrs of tribute on Israel was included in the 70yrs period. Sixty nine solar yrs from 608bc is 539bc.

2Ki 24:1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
2Ki 24:2 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
2Ki 24:3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

70 years was the lifespan of the Babylonian world empire... I relate this 70 year period to Mystery Babylon...
which I believe began in 1945, the year the UN was founded and the USA became the lone world superpower.

.
How could 70yrs be Babylon's life span if it was 66 solar yrs to 539bc (the Babylonian Exodus) from so-called Nebuchadnezzar's 1st yr, and his father reigned before him?

Nebuchadnezzar did not rule Babylon until his dad died in 606 BC.
You can't prove it and history's not always correct. Prophecy specifically says Israel spent 70 Hebrew yrs in Babylon, and Dan 9:2 confirms it.

Dan 9:2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

I rest my case!

Why do you make mountains out of mole hills? If God said so, then it's so.

Daniel 1:1
3rd year of Jehoiakim
besieged Jerusalem
1st year of Nebuchadnezzar II

Daniel 1:2
gave...the king of Judah into his hand

took certain of the children of Israel/Daniel and more

Daniel 1:3
3rd yr of Akim is the siege, yes. But 2 Ki 24:1-3 proves he paid tribute to Nebuchadnezzar 3yrs before the siege!

2Ki 24:1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
2Ki 24:2 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
2Ki 24:3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

Babylon rises again to finish her 70 years over the nations.
In your dreams. Babylon was left a perpetual desolation.

Isa 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Isa 13:20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.


Again I rest my case!

Jeremiah 25:11 started....verse 12 waits yet to happen,

Jeremiah 29:10 started - the Jews stayed in Babylon for 70 years.
They were not for the final years under a Babylonian king, so this
has left us still on 25:11.
A mountain out of a mole hill, Dan 9:2 confirmed the fact.

Cyrus did not destroy ancient Babylon.
Babylon later rebelled against Persian rule.
Alexander the Great died in ancient Babylon.

The total destruction of Babylon prophecy is
fulfilled with Mystery Babylon.

In the Bible there are three Babylons

Tower of Babel = city

Babylonian empire = regional empire

Mystery Babylon = world empire

It is not a coincidence that the end time evil empire in the book of Revelation is also called Babylon.

The OT tower of Babel and Babylonian empire are meant to be symbols... archetypes... of Mystery Babylon.

Indeed, one can not truly understand, Mystery Babylon, without understanding the OT tower of Babel and Babylonian empire.

Daniel 4... specifically Daniel 4:15 refers to the king of Babylon being cut down as a stump that is banded with bronze and iron
so the root [life] remains. This is prophetic symbolism of ancient Babylon being cut down... but the root remains and comes
to life again as Mystery Babylon. The bronze and iron bands refer to how Babylon's stump is preserved through the bronze and
iron kingdoms. Now we come down to the toes of time, the feet of the image. Iron has mixed with miry clay... Mystery Babylon.

Partly strong and partly weak. I like your comparisons, excellent.
