"THE APPOINTED TIMES" 67
time of the iniquity of the end, thus saith the
Lord Jehovah : Remove the mitre, and take off
the crown ; this shall be no more the same ; exalt
that which is low, and abase that which is high .
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it : this also
shall be no more, until he come whose right it is ;
and I will give it him ." Ezekiel 21 :25-27, ASV
This meant to say that, although Jehovah then
caused the active rule of Jerusalem's kings to be
overturned, yet he did not renounce his everlasting
covenant with David for the Kingdom . In due
time the permanent heir of that Kingdom covenant
would come. Then Jehovah would anoint
this Son of David as the rightful Heir and would
give The Theocratic Government to him .

Jehovah God used Nebuchadnezzar king of
Babylon to overturn the Jewish kingdom . This
took place in 607 B .C. That year, on the 9th day
of the 4th Jewish month or Tammuz 9 , the
Babylonian besiegers breached Jerusalem's walls,
following which King edekiah and his army fled
the city, but only to be captured . Next month, on
Ab 10, corresponding to August 3 to 4 Gregorian
calendar , sundown to sundown, the Babylonians
came and began burning down the temple,
the king's palace and other houses of Jerusalem,
broke down its walls, and took the surviving Jews
captive to carry most of them to Babylon hundreds
of miles away. Later the poor Jews that
were left in the territory became frightened and
some time in the latter half of the seventh Jewish
t2. How and when did Jerusalem and Judah become
desolate?
