The Missing 166 years from Solomon’s Temple to 70 AD The following link and TABLE 4 have 166 years missing in the rabbinic chronology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_years_%28Jewish_calendar%29 Here are some dates before and after removing the 166 years: The exile in the sabbatical of 721 BC minus 166 years becomes 555 BC in the rabbinic. The scroll of Moses found in 623 BC minus 166 years becomes 457 BC in rabbinic. The sabbatical of 588 BC minus 166 years becomes 422 BC in rabbinic dates. The temple burned in 587 BC minus 166 years becomes 421 BC in rabbinic dates. The 10^th sabbatical after 422 BC minus 166 years becomes 352 BC in rabbinic dates. The 2^nd temple dedicated and Esther crowned in 515 BC minus 166 years becomes 349 BC. (515 is supported by Archbishop Ussher. 349 is also supported by Megillah Esther.) Jerusalem’s wall repaired in 502 BC minus 166 years becomes 336 BC (only five years before Alexander). These dates after 721 coincide with TABLE 9, in the right column.

TABLE 4. Solution to the 1448 BC date of the Exodus – the Missing 136 Years
	Conventional System with 480 years to the Temple			Rabbinic System with 480 years to the Temple
Epoch		BC		Uncorrected
Exodus		1448	1448 – 136 = 1312		1312
(Entry in 1408 / 1272 BC)		480			480
First temple founded		968	968 – 136 = 832		832
		-247	247 + 30 = 277		-277
Sabbatical – Exile of ten tribes		721	721 – 166 yrs = 555		555
		-98			-98
Sabbatical: Temple Scroll found		623	623 – 166 yrs = 457		457
		-35			-35
Sabbatical		588	588 – 166 yrs = 422		422
First temple burned		587	587 – 166 yrs = 421		421
Explanation of the 1448 BC date of the Exodus James Ussher made a fundamental mistake, which was repeated by the Conventional and Rabbinical versions. If the exodus were actually in 1447 BC, and the temple was 479 years later, then the temple was founded in 968 BC, 439 years after crossing the Jordan in 1407 BC. This means the sabbatical would have been in 966 BC, 441 years after crossing the Jordan (7 x 43). The sabbaticals during the second temple in 520 BC were based upon the first temple being founded in a sabbatical year, in 968 BC (968 – 520 = 448 yrs.). Sabbaticals would more likely have been in 966, 588, 539 and 518 BC, and rabbinical sabbaticals to the present day would, therefore, be two years off. This would confirm that Babylon fell in a sabbatical year, in 539 BC, 427 years after 966 BC. This supports the idea that Revelation repeats this by inferring that Babylon the Great also falls in a sabbatical or jubilee year. The formula often followed is to add 136 years to the rabbinic date for the founding of the temple in 832 BC to obtain the true date, that is, 968 BC. Then add 136 years to the rabbinic date for the exodus in 1312 BC to obtain the true date of the exodus, that is, in 1448 BC, 480 years before the temple. 480 years would allow time for Jepthah to be judging 300 years after the entrance into Canaan (Judges 11:26), but it would not allow enough time for all the judges to rule 450 years as stated in Acts: 13:20. We must pick and choose which source we will accept. Note there were 136 years instead of 166 years of difference between the two systems because the reigns of the kings of Israel overlapped 30 years between Solomon (968) and the Assyrian captivity in 721 BC. Nevertheless, the six generations between the exodus and David cannot likely be stretched 480 years. Since these generations are recorded repeatedly (in Ruth 4:19, Mat. 1:17 and Luke 3:31), it is not likely there are any gaps with unknown names. This begs the question of why have many highly esteemed chronologists rejected the 480 and 300 years in favor of an exodus during the reign of Ramesses II? It is more likely that the exodus was in 1255 BC, 667 years before Jerusalem fell in 588/87 BC. 667 years represent 17 jubilees (17 x 49) after removing 166 years.
