Exodus Six Jubilees to the Temple?

Another view is that the exodus from Egypt was in about 1255 BC (251 x5). The famous movie, Exodus, starring Charlton Heston was during this time and fits the profile for dating the Exodus (See the above tab, “Code 490”). From 1255 (the Exodus) to 968 BC, when Solomon founded the temple, there were 287 years, that is, 41 Sabbaticals. From 1255 (the exodus) to 961, when the temple was completed, there were 294 years, or 6 jubilees. This matches Ussher’s statement that the temple was dedicated in a jubilee year.

TABLE 2. 251 Years from the Exodus to the Era of Jerusalem

BC	294 yrs (6 jubilees)		49 yrs. (1 jubilee)	251 yrs
1682 Samaritan Exodus		BC		BC
427 yrs.
1255 Exodus (251x5, in a Jubilee Year)		1255		1255
1010 David’s first year of reign (a Jubilee)		1010	1010	1010
1004 David captures Jerusalem (251x4, a Sabbatical)		1004	1004	1004
968 Temple founded		968	968
961 Solomon Dedicated Temple (Jubilee)		961	961
520 Second temple founded (a Sabbatical)
Sabbaticals began when Abraham was 75, when he entered Canaan, 427 years before the exodus. Abraham was called 430 years before the exodus, when he was 72 (see Acts 7:2 & Exodus 12:40).

Confusion over 50-year Jubilees

We could connect these sabbaticals with Noah’s son, Shem, who was 98 years (two jubilees) old at the flood (Gen. 11:10), and the exodus was 122 sabbaticals (854 years) after the flood, 294 years, (6 Jubilees) before the temple was finished (1656 + 854 = 2510). For more detail on this, select the tab, “Code490” above, go to page 11, and study TABLES 6 & 7.

During this time, Babel fell 1757 years, that is, 251 sabbaticals after Adam. This is also equal to 35 jubilees (50-years each) plus one sabbatical.

Moreover, the rabbinical view has 17 jubilees (850 years) from 1272 BC, when Joshua allegedly crossed the Jordan, until 422 BC, the rabbinic date for the destruction of Jerusalem and the first temple. If instead the jubilees were 49 years each, then 1255 BC would be 17 jubilees before 422 BC. 1255 would be during the time of Ramesses II.

Calendar used during Queen Esther

NOTES from Ussher in The Annals of the World, page 128, Ussher says, “518 BC: In the fourth year of Darius… concerning the appointed fast to be held to commemorate the day of the destruction of the city of Jerusalem and the temple… which they had held for seventy years (Ussher’s dates = 589-518 but should be 588-518)…

“515 BC: …the sixth year of Darius on the third day of the twelfth month called Adar, the temple was completed… On the fourteenth day of the first month, they joyfully celebrated the first Passover in the second temple…

“In the seventh year of Ahasuerus’ reign… He put the crown of the kingdom upon her head and made her queen in Vashti’s stead. From this I gather that Vashti was Atossa… Hadassah was another name given to Esther and sounds much like Atossa.

“…514 BC: The Nineteenth Jubilee” (counting from an entry into Canaan in 1446 BC). So, at least Ussher acknowledged there was a Jubilee when the first temple was finished in Solomon’s 11^th year and a jubilee 490 years later, in 514 BC, when the second temple was finished.
