1975 in Prophecy – the Origin of the 588–539 BC Jubilee CycleIn contrast to having an exodus in 1255, there is
evidence that the exodus was in 1447 BC, 479 years before the temple, as in
TABLE 9. This would allegedly place the date of Creation in 3957 BC, and the
end of 6,000 years would be in 2044 AD. Since 6,000 years is not
divisible by 49; There is a surplus of three sabbaticals. Therefore, the last
jubilee would be in 2022 AD 3,936 years after “Creation”, in the 122nd
jubilee the sabbaticals of 1980, 1987, 1994, 2001, 2008 and 2015 AD. Since
we can find historical sabbaticals, which align with an exodus in 1255 BC, it
is considered to be an established, legitimate cycle. Since we also have
historical evidence of a cycle aligned with an entry into Canaan in 1407 BC,
perhaps there are actually two exodus cycles, and we have been looking for
just one exodus. More research is needed.

Fundamental
Drawbacks NOTE on
TABLE 9: The 479-year system adds 228 years to the 251-year system. 968 BC,
when the temple was founded, was 439 years after the Israelites crossed the
Jordan in 1407 BC as in TABLE 10. Therefore, the sabbatical would be in 966
BC, 441 years after the Jordan. 966 is 245 years before 721 BC, when Assyria
captured the Israelites of Samaria. This
work exposes various theories for the exodus before the temple (founded in
968 or 966 BC):
The
major problem is in finding an historical, extra-biblical record of Egypt’s
decline or economic collapse after suffering a great loss of farmers and
builders, after experiencing the ten plagues, and being plundered by the
Israelites and after losing an army in the Red sea. More research is needed. Insights
on the Samaritan Text Like the Samaritan Text,
the Book of Jubilees has 1307 years from Adam to the flood. If the Samaritan
text had allowed 29 instead of 79 for Nahor (as in the Masoretic text) and
130 years instead 70 years between Abraham and his father (as in the
Masoretic text), there would have been 251 x 9 years instead of 251 x 8 years
from Adam to Abraham. The Samaritan legend has
2753 years from Adam to the exodus in 1682 BC, 427 years before 1255 BC.
From the above chart,
obviously the original Samaritan text could have been 401 years longer than
the text extant today and the Masoreh text could have been 52 years longer
than today’s renditions of it. Methuselah lived until the year of the flood,
so his 67-years had to be changed to 168. 1055 (After Man) + 653 = 1708. The
Samaritan text also has a 251-year pattern in that a flood in 1307 would be
251 years after Noah’s birth in 1056 in the Masoretic text. The birth of
Abraham would be in 2259 (251 x 9) if the flood were in 1307, and Joseph
would be born in 2510 (251 x 10), and the exodus would be in 2761 (251 x 11).
However, it is generally believed that the Samaritan exodus was 505, instead
of 502, years after Abraham. This places Joshua’s conquest 2794 years after
Adam (2259 to Abraham + 505 to exodus + 40 to Joshua = 2794). Others
have dated the exodus as 505 years after Abraham, that is, 2513 years after
Adam. In comparison, a version of the Septuagint has the flood 2262 years
after Adam. 2513 minus 2262 equals 251. |
