Position de l’organisation ou explication ultérieure : L’article conclut néanmoins que sa lecture « est également appuyée par des arguments tirés de sources profanes », désignant par là les données astronomiques qu’il examine plutôt que les spécialistes qu’il cite.

The Watchtower, “When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?—Part Two”

1 novembre 2011 · p.27 · pars. 35-36 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“At present, the majority of secular historians believe that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 B.C.E. However, the Bible writers Jeremiah and Daniel clearly state that the Jews were in exile for 70 years, not 50 years. (Jeremiah 25:1, 2, 11; 29:10; Daniel 9:2) Those statements strongly indicate that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 B.C.E. As the above evidence shows, that conclusion has some secular support.”

The closing section, headed “Why Trust the Bible?”, continues: “Secular experts have repeatedly questioned the Bible’s accuracy. Yet, when more evidence is uncovered, the Bible record has time and again been vindicated.”
