On what date was Solomon's temple destroyed compared to the later temple?

According to the transcript, Solomon's temple was destroyed on exactly the same month and the same day as the later temple. The context states it was the same day of the same month, though it does not name the specific calendar date. This underscores God's meticulous timing.

Les explains that God is meticulous in His timing and shares an observation that shook him: the first temple, built by Solomon, was destroyed on exactly the same month and the same day as the later temple. He repeats that it was the same day of the same month. This comes in a discussion of the four angels confined at the Euphrates River, a boundary between eastern and western religions, and the fact that God kept them waiting for a particular hour of a particular day of a particular month.
