The longstanding consensus among critical scholars has been that verses 24–27 is a paradigmatic example of inner-biblical interpretation, in which the latter text reinterprets Jeremiah's seventy years of exile as seventy weeks of years. [39] On this view, Jeremiah's prophecy that after seventy years God would punish the Babylonian kingdom (cf ...
The Babylonian captivity would end when the "70 years" ended. (Jeremiah 29:10) It lasted 68 years (605 BC–537 BC) from the capture of the land of Israel by Babylon [31] and the exile of a small number of hostages including Daniel, Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael (Daniel 1:1–4). [32]
The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures.

The earliest manuscripts containing the Epistle of Jeremiah are all in Greek.

The Late Great Planet Earth is a treatment of dispensational premillennialism.As such, it compared end-time prophecies in the Bible with then-current events in an attempt to predict future scenarios resulting in the rapture of believers before the Great Tribulation and Second Coming of Jesus to establish his thousand-year (i.e. millennial) kingdom on Earth.
The day-year principle was partially employed by Jews [7] as seen in Daniel 9:24–27, Ezekiel 4:4-7 [8] and in the early church. [9] It was first used in Christian exposition in 380 AD by Ticonius, who interpreted the three and a half days of Revelation 11:9 as three and a half years, writing 'three days and a half; that is, three years and six months' ('dies tres et dimidium; id est annos ...
