Descrição:

Sarah wife of Abraham. Fairy Tale of Real History by Gerard Gertoux

This sequence of events has consequences on the Judean chronology because the Judean rulers fell under the authority of Babylon for 70 years (Jr 25:11-12, 29:10), first through the satrap of Egypt Necho II (609-605) and directly afterwards (605-539). Consequently the accession of Nebuchadnezzar, Babylonian year 0, is reckoned as year 1 (Jr 25:1, 46:2) according to the Egyptian reckoning, which explains why Jerusalem was destroyed in the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar (Jr 52:12) which was in fact his 18th (Jr 52:29).

DATING THE BIBLICAL CHRONOLOGY by Gerard Gertoux

In the Hebrew Scriptures, Judean kingship legally represented God's authority (1Chronicles 29:23). We can read in the book of Ezekiel: "Remove the turban [symbolizing the priesthood], and lift off the crown [symbolizing the kingship]. This will not be the same. Put on high even what is low, and bring low even the high one. A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I shall make it. As for this also, it will certainly become no [one's] until he comes who has the legal right, and I must give [it] to him (Ezekiel 21:26-27) According to the Gospels, Jesus was "he who has the legal right", since we read (Luke1:32-33): God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule as king over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end of his kingdom. The Septuagint renders Shilo "it belongs to him (Genesis 49:10)" by "for him to which it is reserved". So, when Ezekiel says: "This will not be the same. Put on high even what is low [the pagan kingdoms], and bring low even the high one [Judean legal kingdom]. A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I shall make it [temple destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar]. " He refers to pharaoh Necho II bringing the Judean kingdom under subjection. Josiah therefore was the last legal king.

In the Bible, a king is considered legal only if he is anointed by God or by one of His representatives (a prophet or a high-priest). All the "legal" kings were appointed in the same way (1Kings 1:39; 2Kings 11:9-12). Otherwise they were illegal and were consequently not buried in the city of David. All Judean kings, from David to Josiah included, were buried in the city of David, excepted Athaliah who was replaced by high- priest Jehoiada (2Chronicles 24:15-16). Athaliah had (illegally) appointed herself as king. She was executed 6 years later (2Kings 11:1-20) and was not buried. Kings after Josiah were illegal kings: Jehoahaz was appointed by the people, Jehoiakim by pharaoh Necho II, and Jehoiachin by Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar (2Chronicles 36:1-8). These kings died in exile, excepted Jehoiakim, who nevertheless received "the burial of a he-ass (Jeremiah 22:18-19)". The text stipulates that from Jehoiakim included "he will come to have no one sitting upon the throne of David (Jeremiah 36:30)". Therefore, after Josiah 's death, the Judean kingdom legally felt under the control of the nations.

Noah and the Deluge Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by Gerard Gertoux.

According to Berossus a Babylonian writer, a priest of Bel Marduk and astronomer, in his History of Babylonia (c. 280 BCE), Necho was appointed satrap of Palestine and Phoenicia, presumably for his renunciation to support the Assyrian king at the Battle of Harran (which began July 609 BCE), but was then dismissed for having rebelled (February 605 BCE) against Nebuchadnezzar (Against Apion I:134-137). This turnaround explains why Necho's intervention in Syria was a victory according to Herodotus (The Histories II:159) and also why he was able to depose Jehoahaz (September 609 BCE) who he replaced by Jehoiakim, actually a vassal of Nebuchadnezzar (2Ki 24:1). Consequently the destruction of Jerusalem in Jeremiah's text is dated on 10/V/19 of Nebuchadnezzar II (Jr 52:12), instead of the usual 10/V/18 (Jr 52:29), because the Babylonian reign began under Egyptian administration.
