Where Josephus supports a 607 BC destruction

[Elijah]

Josephus uses a Marduk calendar of 936 years (he claims is 4x 936 =3744 from 2256 AM Flood 3460 BC to 284 AD as year 6000) yet he uses it as 2009 BC (death of 500-year old Nimrod) to Marduk temple in the common false belief that Babylon's Marduk temple and Solomon's temple revive the same year of Jupiter as 1073 BC. (It is hard to imagine that he accredits Nimrod's death in 2009 BC as disrupting the true 936-year calendar, if he then uses it to build Jehovah's temple; but it should be noted that this Marduk 2009 BC is his birth for Jacob. The true correlation is that Adam's year 2256 AM in 1770 BC is Hamurabi's new Marduk of 3744 years at death of Nimrod and borth of baby Judah.) To do this placement of temple in 1073 BC, he accepts the true year of Division 997 BC, but then gives Solomon 80 years (1077-997 BC) instead of 40 (1037-997 BC). Giving to Solomon the 1st year of David (1077 BC), he thus gives to David the 1st year of Saul (1117 BC), and claims David took Jerusalem in year 7 (1110 BC correctly 40 years later in 1070 BC). He does this in both books, Wars and then Antiquities.

So in his book Wars when he gives David 470 years of kingship in the Davidic line he reckons it as in Jerusalem only as 470 from 1110-640 BC where upon Jerusalem is destroyed in 640 BC for 70 years until 570 BC. This 470 years of kingship in Jerusalem match the true TOTAL kingship as 1077-607 BC where in Jerusalem ONLY is actually 463 years (1070-607 BC). So the figure of 470 years stands as a RECORDED FIGURE known to the current schools of Josephus, and he merely doesnt know how to account for these 470. But this goes further yet. Though Josephus takes these 470 years of David and adds an additional 7 years before Jerusalem making 477 (which 7 are actually already included in the 470), Josephus then makes the claim it is the temple that lasted 470 years from (David's year 7) 1110 BC to destruction in 640 BC. He actually refers to the temple in David's year 4 (+76) and then says oops Solomon's year 4 (+76) showing that Josephus is typical for scholastic incompetence, yet he gets published. Because his temple of his 80-year Solomon is 1073 BC (or 37 years later than 1110 BC), a 470 year Temple would then not be destroyed in 640 BC but 603 BC. This error is confirmed by his Antiquities where he really screws up by contradicting his book titles (which begin in 5716 BC and offers both a Flood of 2256 AM in 3460 BC and 2656 AM as Japanese Flood Era 3060 BC). Here in Antiquities when Jerusalem is destroyed by Babylon, using his Marduk temple year of 1073 BC for Solomon's temple his destruction is only 470 years later in 603 BC. Thus he has Antiquities (1073-603 BC conflicting with 1110-640 BC) perhaps realizing that his Wars was counting 470 from David not from temple. But as shown the 470 of David is 1077-607 BC because it includes the preJerusalem 7 years that Josephus excludes. His 470 from temple to 603 BC is confirmed by his saying (at 10:8:5) the temple is 592 years after Exodus (his chronology of Wars and Antiquities holding true to 591 from 1664-1073 BC). (We can ignore his total screw up then of 895 years back to 2560 BC Flood and 1556 years back to 4116 BC Adam which he doesnt say is creation or is Adam, but rather says it is Adam's generation of which of his consistant 5716 BC Adam, this 4116 BC is Adam's year 700. An interesting correlation is that the figures he uses totaling 3513 years (perceived as Adam 4116-603 BC destruction) may be egyptian calendar years lacking 2.5 years in leap days. If this 3510 years were the completed temple 516-515 BC it then counts back to the true 4025 BC Adam; or counting 3510 from his 5716 BC Adam instead and you get the 1st year of Reu Aanipada as king of Ur in 2206 BC; or counting back 3513 from his 603 BC is this 4116 BC Adam, but counting back forward only 3510 years and you get a 606 BC destruction. Thus the span 3510 is significant somewhere as twice 1460 plus 590. Since he places the temple as 592nd year or 591 years from exodus, or 590 from his emphasized 2 years after exodus, and the exodus is referred to as sothic, a strong implication exists here of regarding 3510 as twice 1460 to exodus plus 590/591/592.)

The point is that we have the confirmation of a 470-year David. But now with a 603 BC destruction, another factor arises. His 1179 years from 1st temple built (1110 BC)  to temple destruction by Rome (70 AD), proving to actually be his David takes Jerusalem (1110 BC) to Rome surrounds Jerusalem (66 AD) has the problem of adding up all his years he records as 1179 up to 66 AD. Thus he has a 3.5 year shift in all his dates from division to 70 AD. His chronology does not allow his dates for David 1117-1077 BC (as 1117-1110 and 1110-1077), nor Solomon 1077-997 BC (as 1077-1073 and 1073-997 BC) to be altered. So the altering or shift of a 3.5 year error exists from Nebuchadnezzar to Herod. This means his two destruction dates of 640 BC or 603 BC (derived to fit a debated 470 years as David's 1110-640 BC and temple's 1073-603 BC) can be shifted 3.5 years back to 644 BC and 607 BC. This confirms 607 BC as a possible destruction. But it also confirms the 1st year of Nebuchanezzar. Though Josephus supplies info of a 50-year desolation in his book Against Apion, it is against his belief and inclination because everywhere he says the land was empty and desolate 70 years. This includes his 640-570 BC as well as his 603-523 BC. The 523 BC comes from thinking that the 1st year of Darius the Persian (father of Xerxes) is also the 1st year of Darius (the Mede who was 538 BC). Thus the 70 years ended by the 2nd year of Darius became debated as 607-537 BC to Darius the Mede versus 592-522 BC for Darius the Persian. With the throne usurped by Magi due to astral calendar reasons, his rule actually is 520 BC for 1st year and 5 years later 515 BC for 6th year (520-515 BC). Calendar new year month Thoth in December (Zoroaster Deh) refers then to 521-516 BC. Now although his 603 BC to 70 AD is corrected by his book titles to being 607 BC to 66 AD, his interlocked chronology does not use his 603 BC error, but rather it uses 640 BC (70 years 640-570 BC) shifted 3.5 years as 644-574 BC. This locks in 150 years by confirming his beleif that 624 BC is the 1st year of Nebuchanezzar and 474 BC is the first year of Artaxerxes, doing so in this way. His failure to prove 70 years from 640-570 BC is complicated by the 3.5 year shift of 640 years (570 BC to 70 AD) to being 574 BC to 66 AD. This makes his 70 years 644-574 BC, so that when he decides the evidence of Hirom to Nebuchanezzar allows only 50 years it reduces the 644-574 BC to being 624-574 BC. What does this say if not that the 1st year of Nebuchanezzar, that he assumes is not capitivity for 70 years starting 644 BC, but a 1st year over a destroyed Jerusalem for 50 years starting 624 BC. It says he beleives the Era of 624 BC to be Nebuchanezzar not his father Nabopolassar. And as his 1st year, a destruction could be 17 years later in year 18 (607 BC) if this 1st year of 50 year destruction (624 BC) were instead 1st year in Babylon. It confirms that Josephus is using 624 BC as a 1st year of something (Babylon or captivity or Jerusalem). Now his 570 BC as 70 years (640-570) can be mistaken as being instead 50 year desolation 570-520 BC to Darius. And shifting the 3.5 years, gives not just 50 years from Nebuchanezzar (624 BC as 624-574 BC), but also 50 years to Darius (524 BC as 574-524 BC). This span is thus 100 years being - - either a Jubilee (50) more than 50 so as to induce the concept that Jubilee never ceased and started over (and this evolves into 49 +49), or as 30 years more than 70 and suddenly Cyrus ruled all 30 years over the Jews and not just 7 years (537-530 BC) of 30 (560-530 BC).
The following of Josephus is clearly and firmly established as his timeline for the Persian empire (which counts to 66 AD and is mistakenly accredited to 70 AD).
626 BC / 624 BC Nebuchanezzar 1st year
70 years
576 BC / 574 BC Cyrus
30 years
546 BC / 544 BC Cambyses
6
540 BC / 538 BC Smerdis (Gamata)
539 BC / 537 BC Darius
36 years
503 BC / 501 BC Xerxes
29 years
474 BC / 472 BC Artaxerxes
51 years
423 BC / 421 BC
93 years of kings
330 BC / 328 BC Alexander
7 years
323 BC / 321 BC dies
total 253 years according to his book 11 title
11 years to 312 BC

It is the date in the right hand side that he shifts
even another 3.5 years by mistaking 66 AD and 70 AD
so that column spans 620 BC and 570 BC to
a 324 BC Alexander in which his 7 years ends in 317 BC
and continues all the eay to 70 AD instead of 66 AD
unless somewhere accounted for like perhaps 11 years
right here 324-313 BC as including is 7 years.
An example of further shift is 104 BC kingship mistaken
as 100 BC, or Herod 4 BC versus 1 BC.
