	Bible Prophecy Numbers: The mirror!
		From the 7 years between Ezekiel's symbolic siege and the literal one by Babylon (593-586 BC), until the attempted siege and overthrow of Jerusalem by Babylon in 701 BC (AD) are 1290 years in the mirror.
		Therefore, the average of all four decrees amount to 490 BC, (cf., to the birth of Christ, Rev. 12).
		For example, from Ezekiel's symbolic siege in 593-592 BC until the literal siege (except in the mirror as AD 589-586) are 430 x 1000 days (430,000 days.) Remember that Ezekiel was commanded to lay on his side 430 days to symbolically siege Jerusalem as a prophecy predicting the literal siege in 586 BC.

	Bible Prophecy Numbers of 1260, 1290, 390, 430.
		1876 BC (Israel enters Egypt after 2 years of the famine) + 390 years = 1486 BC (failed exodus, and exile of Moses), + 40 = 430 years total till the actual exodus of 1446 BC.
		In 593 BC, Ezekiel was told to symbolically siege Jerusalem 430 days––"a day for each year"––in anticipation of her doom that occurred exactly seven years later (593 to 586 BC).
		Therefore, it is significant that there are three cycles of 430 years from entering Egypt (1876 BC), unto exiting Egypt (1446 BC), then unto the exile back again into Egypt (and Babylon) in 586 BC.

	Book of Nahum
		The Book of Nahum, seventh of the 12 minor prophetic books in the Old Testament of the Bible, probably dates from shortly after the destruction of Assyria in 612 BC, although the book is cast in the form of a prophecy of events yet to unfold.
		Nahum prophesied, according to some, in the beginning of the reign of Ahaz (B.C. Others, however, think that his prophecies are to be referred to the latter half of the reign of Hezekiah (about B.C. This is the more probable opinion, internal evidences leading to that conclusion.

	Habakkuk
		Prior to 612 BC, Babylon was under submission to the Assyrians.
		Pre-612 BC The first interpretation is that Habakkuk must have been written before 612 BC because, after that date, the warring tendencies of the Babylonians would not have been a surprise.
		Thus Habakkuk 1:5, which is a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586 BC, becomes a prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome in AD 70.
