Two Sabbatical Cycles
Found TABLE 9. It appears that researchers have not bothered to publish a chart showing when the sabbaticals would be if they were counted from an exodus in 1447 BC or from an entry in 1407 BC (during the time of Dynasty XVIII) or from an exodus in 1255 BC or from an entry in 1215 BC (during Ramesses II of Dynasty XIX). If counting
from an exodus in 1255 BC, then 1980 would be the 66th jubilee. If
counting from an entry into Canaan in 1407 BC, then 1975 would be the 69th
jubilee. From this, some calculated that the Messiah would return in 1982,
because this was 2520 years after the fall of Babylon in 539 BC. 1972 was 2510
(251 x 10) years after 539.
From the entry into Canaan in 1407 to 574
BC (14 years after 588 BC) there are 17 jubilees. This endorses the rabbinic
view there were 17 jubilees after the entry until the fall of Jerusalem.
However, their view had 50-year jubilees, or 850, instead of 833 years.
The Entry column (Entry into Canaan) in
1407 follows with seven Jupiter periods of 427 years (2989 years) from Adam
to the temple (3955 – 966 BC) and then 427 years from the temple to the fall
of Babylon in 539 BC, after eight Jupiter cycles, or 488 sabbaticals. This
would make 17 jubilees from 1407 BC to 574 BC (14 years after 588 BC) and
there would be 18 jubilees to 525 BC (14 years after 539 BC).
The column with exodus 1255
seems to fit the six generations from the exodus to David, but an entry in
1407 allows enough time for having 300 years from the entry to Jephthah, one of
the judges (Judges 11:26), and also allows 479 years from the exodus to the
temple (I Kings 6:1). None allow 450 years for the judges alone (as in Acts
13:20). Summary Statement Just a brief exposure to
biblical chronology shows that experts deal mainly with king lists and
astronomy instead of dealing with patterns, repetition and design. It’s just
that simple. There is ample evidence that
the original version for dating major events, from Adam to Babel, to Abraham,
to Joseph, to the exodus or to the temple was somehow defined by the Venus
cycle of 251 years. |
