The 166-year Problem Stems from 490 years of
Daniel 9 TABLE 8 illustrates how
the 166-year problem stems from making five assumptions. 1. The assumption that the second temple burned 490
years after the first temple burned in 421 BC instead of 587 BC. The
difference is 166 years. 2. The assumption that Daniel 9 is about
Jerusalem’s future destruction in 70 AD. 3. The assumption that the destruction in 70 AD is
the fulfillment of 70 weeks of years (or 490 years) mentioned in Daniel 9
(Daniel 9:26; Luke 21:20-24). 4. The assumption that Daniel 9 is not speaking of
70 literal weeks as found in Daniel 10:1; even though, both use the same
Hebrew word for “weeks”. 5. The assumption there would be a jubilee 14 years
after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD if there were a jubilee 14 years after
the fall of Jerusalem in 422 BC. This would make 132 AD a jubilee when Bar
Kochba revolted against the Roman occupiers in an attempt to reclaim the land
Joshua had given the Israelites. http://preteristarchive.com/Ancient_Revelations/archeology/2001_harvardhouse_scientific-dating.html As a result,
even though Cyrus of Persia conquered Palestine in 539 BC, the rabbinic date
is 166 years later, in 373 BC. It is likely
that the rabbinical society recognized Bar Kochba as their Messiah in 118 AD,
490 years after Cyrus’ decree allegedly in 373 BC. Alexander conquered
Palestine and visited Jerusalem in a Sabbatical year, in 331 BC. So,
according to these dates, Persia ruled Palestine only 42 years (373- 331=
42). It was actually 208 years (539- 331 = 208). Dates are missing 166 years.
More details here: http://bethelbaptistlondon.org/The%20Current%20Jewish%20Year.pdf Year of Man (AM = After Man) In the rabbinic
(Hebrew) chronology, Adam was created in the year 3760 BC. The Hebrew
calendar equivalent for 2008 AD is 5768 AM, which equals 5767 years (No year
0). In the rabbinic view, the temple was burned
twice; the first was 490 years before the second. Both times were allegedly
in a post-sabbatical year. The first destruction, they say, was in 421 BC,
that is, in 3338 AM. The second destruction was in 70 AD, that is, in 3828
AM. However, the temple was not actually destroyed in 421 but 166
years earlier, in 587 BC. The rabbinic view actually subtracts 166
years from dates after the exile of the Israelites in 721 BC down to the time
of Alexander, 331 BC. |

166 years also Added prior
to the Temple To offset the missing 166 years after the
captivity in 721 BC, note that the rabbinic chronology also adds 166
extra years prior to the temple: 1.
By subtracting 62 years prior to the exodus. 2.
By selecting 479 instead of 251 (479 - 251 = 228) adds 228 extra
years between the exodus and the era of Jerusalem. 3.
By subtracting 1 from 2, that is, 228 - 62 = 166. |
