We could speculate that Adam was age 130 at
Seth’s birth and age 196 (four jubilees after 3957 BC) in 3761 BC (while Seth
was age 66). Thus, they are likely to be the inventors of the “Sethite
calendar”. Adam was 1656 years before the flood, 2510
years before the exodus, 2989 (i. e., 427 x 7) years before Solomon’s temple.
The rabbinical date for Adam was allegedly
in 3761 BC, but it omitted 196 years (4 jubilees). 60 years were subtracted
between Abraham and his father (http://code251.com/code427.html),
and the rabbinical date for the temple is 832 instead of 968 BC. These add up
to 196 years (60 + 136 = 196). Also, in the following link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_calendar),
years have 364 days (52 weeks), and there are more days from spring to fall
than from fall to spring. On today’s calendars, both are equal. Links with Herod’s Capture of JerusalemIn the 19-year pattern during 37 BC, when Herod conquered
Jerusalem, this was 3724 years after 3761 BC, the rabbinical date for Adam.
This was seven (Easter) cycles of 532 years each (that is, 532 sabbaticals).
It is equal to 196 times 19 years and equal to 19 times four jubilees (19 x
196). Note that, at the end of 19 years, the last moon is 29.44536 days
instead of 29.530588 days. This extra time accumulates to one day every 228
years. This one day must have continuously been subtracted since 71 AD, and
the calendar must be correct because the eclipses that have occurred
on the first and 14th days of the lunar-solar calendar for 1934 years,
from AD 71 to 2005. Those who say the calendar should be off 8½ days by now
are, evidently, not telling the truth. Noah’s Calendar
had 360 Days?
In dating back to Adam, we
need to understand that ages are not in chaos as proposed by
Immanuel Velikovsky. God is not the author of chaos but is the author of
pattern and design. We can be confident that
years have never been exactly 360 days. Egypt had a calendar with 360 days
plus 5 extra days at the end of the year, but years have never been exactly
365 days either. Years are 365.24219 days. In contrast, the circle of
the sky and the circle of the earth were divided into exactly 360 degrees
using sum dials and star clocks, and, obviously, 72 degrees around the sun
takes 73 days. 144 degrees takes 146 days. 360 degrees takes 365.24219 days.
Why 360 degrees? Well, perhaps it’s because the sun and moon are both
one-degree in diameter. Velikovsky’s belief in a 360-day year before the
flood is a bit irrational. Therefore, the year of the
flood with months of 30 days may not be a forerunner of the 30, 360, 1260 and
2520 days found in Daniel and Revelation because, as will be covered, 52
weeks and 6 jubilees have been perpetually joined together since Adam. This
would make the 360-day year incredible. Lunar-Solar
Versus 30-Day Calendar Obviously, there is a problem
with saying the year of Noah’s flood had the usual lunar-solar calendar with
alternating 29 & 30-day months. This would only allow 147 days (21
weeks) for the first 5 months instead of the stated 150 days until the water
was abated (Gen 8:3-4). The rain lasted five months, from 2-17-600 to
7-17-600, that is, 150 days. The first five months had 30 days each, but the
problem arises after this. The text doesn’t specifically say the last seven
months had 30 days each. There has been an
assumption that Moses did not insert the usual extra 5 days,
which the Egyptians (Mizraim, the land of Noe or Noah) had celebrated as
feast days for over 1,500 years before Alexander captured Egypt (Venus and
Sothis, How the Ancient Near East Was Rediscovered, Wilbur Devereux
Jones). The calendar had also lacked a day every 4 years, which caused the
Nile’s annual flood to come one day earlier every four years on their
calendar, which was also corrected by Alexander. The
Last Seven Months After the first five months,
the water level dropped for 13 days during the remainder of the 7th
month, 30 days during the 8th month, and 30 days during the ninth
month, 73 days altogether. Then, in the 40th
day after that, Noah opened the ark’s window to send a raven and a dove to
see if land had appeared beyond the horizon. They returned without hope. Seven days later, the dove
was resent and came back with an olive leaf. Seven days later, the dove
was resent and did not return. Altogether, this makes 150 +
73 + 40 + 7 + 7 = 277 days. There are still 88 days until the year is
completed, until the 17th day of the 2nd month (365 –
277 = 88). A
problem arises because the context does not say how much time expired after
the dove did not return until the new year began. We could assume there were
30 x 7 months (210 days) from 7-17-600 to 2-17-601 and 10 more days until
2-27-601 (220 days). This would also assume that the missing five days were
not inserted as several other nations did after the flood. Without
inserting the five days, this contradicts a regular pattern since Adam.
52-week years and six jubilees appear to be perpetually locked together: 1 year = 52 weeks (364 days)
plus 1.24219 days. The extra 1.24219 days x 294 (6 jubilees) = 365 days.
Therefore, in six jubilees, 52 extra weeks need to be inserted. Every 28 years, 5 extra weeks
need to be inserted. Every 7 years, 1 extra week
needs to be inserted. 360-day years do not allow
this to happen. Last Seven Months of the Flood Year
So
here is a revision of the flood year, which fills in the missing time after
the dove did not return: 13
days after 17th day of the 2nd month, the flood began
(Gen 7:11) |
|||||||||
|
13 days after 17th day to the end of the 7th
month 30 days = 10th
month.
30 days = 11th month. 30 days = 12th month. |
|||||||||

5 Five
days are not mentioned at the end of the year (the
5-day annual festival in Egypt for 1,460 years) 168 days after
the 17th day of the 7th month 30 days = 1st month. 150 days from the
17th day of the 2nd month to the 17th day of
the 7th month. 365 days
from the 17th day of the 2nd month (year
600) to the 17th day of the 2nd month (year
601). |

Archaeologists found that the
calendar of Egypt, Mizraim, the land of Noe (Noah) had 30-day months with 5
days at the end of each year and lacked a day every 4 years... for over 1,500
years. Quoting other Sources
If
there are exactly 52 weeks per year plus an extra 52 weeks in 294 years (4
jubilees) to replace the 1.24219 days missed each year, this implies that the
52 weeks and jubilees have been perpetually linked since Adam creating an
average year of 365.24219 days. This supports Samaritan tradition that there
were jubilees from the date of creation to Joshua’s entry into Canaan (in
1642 BC, in the 41st year after the exodus of 1682 BC) http://thesamaritanupdate.com/.
This would be 128 sabbaticals before the Era of Nebonassar, in 747 BC. Evidently
then, sabbaticals can begin with a new era, such as Creation, entering Canaan
or during the new Era of Nebonassar (http://www.ancientlibrary.com/smith-bio/2243.html
- search for “sabbatical”). Herod
conquered Jerusalem in 37 AD, 196 x 19 year cycles after 3761 BC, that is, 19
196-year jubilee cycles after 3761 BC (the Hebrew date of Creation). As a
final note on the year of the Crucifixion, we find that Eusebius, in his
Chronicle, citing the Gospel of John, states that Jesus was crucified in his
third visit to Jerusalem to keep the Passover during his ministry (John 3:13;
6:4; 11:55) Jerome also said it was in the third year of the 202nd
Olympiad (http://www.mgh-bibliothek.de/dokumente/a/a127662.txt.
Search for “third year of the 202nd Olympiad”). The 202nd
begins after 201 Olympiads, after 776 BC, which equal 804 years (201 x 4).
The third year is the 807th year. This makes 31 AD the 807th
year (201 x 4 + 3= 807) (776 BC – 807 = 31 AD (inclusive reckoning). After restoring the lunar-solar calendar (TABLE 2) by subtracting
an extra day every 228 years, it becomes apparent that the new year in 31 AD,
the month of the Crucifixion, began on 4-11-31 AD, and, thus, the Crucifixion
was on 4-25-31, on a day of a lunar eclipse as demonstrated here: |
