Misunderstanding of Gentile times.

The History of  misunderstanding of the "gentile times" by some religious leaders.

This article shows us  what was the  reality of misunderstanding  of the gentile times which had said Jesus Christ!

In 1823  english man John Aquila  Brown realises that the period(Gentile times) is 2520 years long, and believed it started in 604BC at the accession of Nebuchadnezzar.

He  calculates that the 2520 years would end in 1917AD if they started in 604BC. He had used (7×360=2520) method for this conclusion.

1875Barbour calculates that the 2520 years (which was used by John Aquila Brown)start in 606(changed by his concept of time of  destruction of Jerusalem),  this being 70 years before 536 when the Jews rebuilt the altar he thought.

He miscalculates that the 2520 years end in 1914, he was one year out. He forgot that there was no 0 BC, it went 1 BC then 1 AD !

1876Russell publishes the same in his Bible Examiner.

1904Russell realises that he may be one year out and the Gentile Times might actually end in October 1915.

1914Gentile Times ends (Russell thought on Tishri10, but actually on Tishri15)

1943Franz adjusts the start date to 607Tishri in the book: 'The truth shall set you free'.  The date for the rebuilding of the altar by Zerubbabel, 70 years after 607Tishri is now 537Tishri, a correct date.

But the date for the burning of Jerusalem by Nebuchanezzar of 607 is wrong.

And the start of the Gentile Times being the assassination of Gedaliah is also wrong.

1988Ed Schnopp, collates overwhelming evidence that 604 was the 1st regnal year of Nebuchadnezzar and therefore Jerusalem was burned in 586 BC. 

John Brown knew this in 1823, he had the first year of Nebuchadnezzar as 604 !!

Ed shows that there are two 70 year exiles, one for Israel and one for Judah. Israel's exile ends in 539Tishri at the fall of Babylon and starts he thought in 609 with the Babylonian conquest of Nineveh or the fall of Assyria to Babylon.

1992Gordon proved that the Gentile times were 2520 years long from Leviticus 26 (something Franz had suspected but could not prove).

He had also stumbled across the Discontinuous Israeli Gentile Times, a part of the curse of the law on genetic Israel preventing them from having a king from their own people for 2520 years plus a 13 year gap for Jehoiachin's elevated throne in Babylon, from 586Tammuz, the deposing of Zedekiah, to 19148Sivan4, the founding of the state of modern Israel.

All these opinions are misunderstanding of gentile times of Luke 21:24.
