… not sure of exact date but hub saw it mentioned somewhere.
kinda a burden to look up the #65:
The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 65
In the Bible the number sixty-five, being a multiple of thirteen (13 x 5 = 65), is specially associated with Ephraim (see Isaiah 7:8), and marks the apostasy of that Tribe. This apostasy, which began in Judges 17, afterwards extended to the Ten Tribes of Israel kingdom, which is frequently spoken of therefore under the name of Ephraim:
"Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be broken, so that it will not be a people." (Isaiah 7:8, NKJV)
-------------
The number 130 is also 65 x 2, and "65" is the number of "shattering," (Isaiah 7:8, cf., vs. 4-6, "let us divide [in half], and vs. 16, "before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings will be laid waste;" i.e., 13 years of age is when a Jewish boy had his bar- mitzvah and was held accountable to the Law. Also, the Law was given to Moses on Pentecost, which was the 65th day of the year.)
The above period prophesied by Isaiah ran from 735 to 670 BC, with the first 13 years of the prediction ending at the destruction of Israel (the northern kingdom, "Ephraim" in 722 BC), and the full 65 years referring to the importation of pagans to occupy the land of Israel (i.e., the later "Samaritans"). The effect of this was that the nation of Israel forever lost her identity. Thus, Israel was "shattered" after "65 years". (Note too,13 x 5 = 65).
Amazingly, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was a nation from 930 to 735 (65 x 3) to Isaiah's prophecy of the "65 years", plus the 65 more years to 670 BC, a total of 65 x 4 years, (or 130 x 2 years).
However, 65-more years later (65 x 2 = 130 years from 735 BC to 605 BC), Southern Kingdom of Judah was overcome by the Babylonians in 605 BC, thus fulfilling this remarkable prophecy in a multiple of ways.
And 66 years later, Babylon in turn fell, (539 BC). Hence, from the divided kingdom of 930 BC, till the fall of Babylon and return of Judah from captivity are 390 years (930/929 to 539 BC), fulfilling the prophecy of Ezekiel 4 about the 390 day/years on his side to bear the sins of the house of Israel, (and 390 is therefore, 6 x 65, meaning, "the shattered man/nation." The 390 is therefore also divided in half at 735 BC (i.e., the prophecy of Isaiah and start of Israel's demise), (930 BC, less 3 x 65 years = 735 BC, less 3 x 65 = 539 BC).
