Hi Al,

I'm not hedging. I need more information from you as to exactly "where you are" as far as understanding the "70 weeks" prophecy. I ask specific questions below.

Basically, what I need to know from you is do you have any specific beliefs about the "70 weeks" prophecy and what specific dates you currently believe begin and end the 70-weeks prophecy. Then I can provide you more specifically with the documentation you wish.

You want an overview?

Basically, the THREE MAIN categories in this setting (JWs) is 1) JW, 2) Popular Revised Secular, and 3) Biblical.

For example, 1) the WTS date for the begining of that prophecy is in 455BCE to which date they assign the 20th of Artaxerxes.

This conflicts with 2) the Popular Secular dating for the 20th of Artaxerxes which is in 445 B.C.E.

I need to know if you agree with the Witnesses or with secular history, in which case, I can provide you with the references you need to see regarding either. If you already agree with the Witnesses, who dismiss 10 years of Xerxes'reign by making him co-ruler with Darius for 10 years, then I don't need to provide you with that source.

If you think that secular date of 445 is correct and you're dating the 70-weeks prophecy from that date, then I have another set of sources for you.

But if you believe the prophecy must be fulfilled in 455BCE in the 1st of Cyrus, then I don't need to deal with those other issues relating to the 20th of Artaxerxes at all. So I'm just trying to be more specific so this topic stays as pointed as possible.

So as soon as you tell me what your current beliefs are about the prophecy, then I can provide you with the specific information in support of or contradicting that position, in addition to the supportive information regarding the correct fulfillment.

So as soon as you tell me that information, I'll provide you with the sources you need. Which won't be that much, but quite specific.

So again, in case that was unclear.

I just need to know what you currently believe about the "70 weeks" prophecy. Begin-end date would be sufficient.

Thaaaaanks. :>

Cheers,
Bibleman
