"Jewish year 5872 and their error"


 
John and Doves,


From my thread where are we now since Adam, we are 6002 years from Adam. But Jewish calendar shows this year as 5782. Why is there a discrepancy close to 200 years?

It is because they denied their Messiah Jesus has already come based on Daniel's 70 weeks prophecy. They altered the interpretation of 70 weeks prophecy to deny Jesus is the anointed one/Messiah in Daniel 9:25 and 26. Below is how they twisted the 70 weeks prophecy. I have inserted their interpretation inside the bracket. 

Quote from Jewish writer:

[ This is how Daniel 9:24-26 should be correctly translated and understood:

24) Seventy weeks (490 years) are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.

25) Know therefore and discern that from the issuing of a word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem (starting from its destruction) until an anointed Prince (Cyrus) will be seven weeks (49 years) and then for sixty-two weeks (434 years) it will be built again with plaza and moat but in troubled times. (Persian, Greek and Roman domination)

26) Then after the sixty-two weeks (483 years from the destruction of the first Temple) an anointed one (sacrifices, last Jewish priest and king) will be cut off and will be no more, and the people of the prince (Romans) who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. (in the 70th week 490 years from the destruction of the first Temple) ]

End of quote.

They believe the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem began from the destruction of first temple. From the destruction of the first temple to the anointed prince Cyrus, there were 49 years. After Cyrus appeared, there were 434 years (sixty two weeks) to rebuild Jerusalem in troublous time. Then after this 434 years, an anointed one whom they interpret as last Jewish priest and the last king would be cutoff by the Roman soldiers. They believe the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD wrapped up the last week/70th week. This is how they construct their timeline.

They took 70 AD, work 483 years backward, and come to 414 BCE as the destruction of the first temple, while many historians and bible scholars believe the destruction of Solomon's temple occurred in 586 BC. Between 586 BC and 414 BCE, there is a shortfall of 172 years in their history. Even up to today, they still keep insisting the destruction of Solomon temple occurred in 414 BCE.. Below is their link.


This rebellious nation, when will they learn that their Messiah Jesus has already come?

A note here, since I posted this comment a year ago, someone has deleted their website which I have attached. Reason? Everyone should know.
