 Bible numbers: The writing is on the wall, 2d
Therefore, amazingly the primary number of "1290 years" spans to the like primary exile of 586 (587) BC, whereas the minor lunar and solar calendars aligns with the like minor exiles of 605 (606) and 597 (598) BC.
There are a total of 8 separate strands of alignment when using the prophetic number of 1290, but only two each for the lunar and the solar, (hence a total of 12 separate strands––see the next few tables for clarification).
If one objects to my using the possible dates of 606, 598, 587, and 582 BC for the exiles of Judah idealistically in company at once with the commonly preferred dates (i.e., set one year later), it matters little anyway; whatever one’s own preference, there yet remains a minimum of 6 strands of alignment!

 Lehi's 600-year Prophecy
The destruction they inflicted upon Judah in Nov.-Dec. 601 BC was severe enough that, as stated in the above quotation, it was said to have fulfilled the words of the prophets that Jerusalem would be destroyed.
That is, Nephi would not have been referring to the final destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BC, but rather to the first destruction which occurred in Dec., 601 BC.
The 600th year of Lehi would have ended in Nov 2 BC, which is supported by studies of seasonal warfare patterns in Mesoamerica which indicate that the Nephi year began about December at that time.

 Obadiah, Book Of (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
Certain it is that the events of 587 accord remarkably with the language of Obadiah 1:10-14.
Pusey indeed argues from the use of the form of the direct prohibition in Obadiah 1:12-14 that Edom had not yet committed the sins against which the prophet warns him, and so Jerusalem was not yet destroyed, when Obadiah wrote.
It must be acknowledged that the events of 587 BC accord more fully with the description in Obadiah 1:10-14, though the disaster in the days of Jehoram must have been terrible.

587 BC To calculate total years since the captivity of Judah to the present time we will have to base our calculation on historical records.
According to history, the year of the captivity of Judah by King Nebuchadnezzar was 587 B.C. This would give us 587 years until the end of the BC era (before the common era).
Therefore, it will only be necessary to add 586 years (year 587 is 3424)plus our present year to our original total of 3424 years.
