On the contrary, you make my point for me every time you post this big long explanation with all the math and mental gymnastics, etc. I'll remember you again that we started this conversation when you told me that the Bible stated the exact date. Then when I asked for the verse(s) you've demonstrated that it doesn't. My point has been made.
Jews would be scattered to many countries? How is it some great prophecy to predict that people would move around different geographic areas, as people tend to do? It's not some big stretch of the imagination to predict that people who were being persecuted at the time, would continue to be persecuted in other places and other times. The rest is a self-fulfilling prophecy, as already discussed by myself and another poster.
What other people were in diaspora 2,500 years without assimilating?
What other people comprise 1/4 of 1% of population but win 12% of Nobel prizes, outperforming other people groups at a ratio of 48:1?
What other people have been through so many diasporas, holocausts, persecutions?
Etc.
I've rephrased the below for your convenience:
The Babylonian captivity ended in the spring of 536 B.C.E., 1st
Nisan. This date is the starting point for our calculations. The
period of worldwide captivity would last 2,520 biblical years x
360 days = 907,200 days. Converting this figure into our calendar
year we divide the 907,200 days by 365.25 to reach a total of
2,483.8 calendar years. (Remember that there is only one year
between 1 B.C.E. and 1 C.E.; there was no Year Zero). The end of
Israel's worldwide captivity would occur after a total of 2,483.8
years had elapsed from the end of the Babylonian Captivity in the
spring of 536 B.C.E.
End of Babylonian Captivity: Spring 536 B.C.E. + the duration of
Worldwide Captivity: 2,483.8 Calendar Years = When the Worldwide
Captivity would end: Spring 1948.
The Rebirth of Israel: May 14th 1948
On May 14, 1948, the Jewish people proclaimed the independence of
Israel and the end of their worldwide captivity at the precise
time prophesied by the prophet Ezekiel. On this very day a united
Israel took its place as a sovereign, independent state among the
nations.
