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”, and Adam was 1656 years before the flood, 2510 years before the
exodus, 2989 years before Solomon’s temple (i.e., 427 x 7 = 2989). 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, and the rabbinical date for the temple is 832
instead of 968 BC. These add up to 196 years (60 + 136 = 196). Therefore,
Adam was in 3957 BC. Also, in the following link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrian_calendar),
an ancient Assyrian calendar had 364 days (exactly 52 weeks) and more days
from spring to fall than from fall to spring. Links with Herod’s Capture of JerusalemAccording
to Josephus, Herod captured Jerusalem in 37 BC, in a sabbatical year. This
was 3724 years after the rabbinical date for Adam in 3761 BC. This was seven
(Easter) cycles of 532 years each (that is, 532 sabbaticals). It is also
equal to 196 times 19-year cycles and equal to 19 times four jubilees (19 x
196). Note
that the 235th and last moon in 19 years ends in 29.530588 days,
but 19 years end after only 29.44536 days. This extra time accumulates for
228 years until the moons end one day later than the 19-year cycle. Nevertheless,
this one day must have continuously somehow been adjusted since 71 AD, and
the lunar-solar calendar must be corrected because the eclipses that
have occurred on the first day and 14th days of the lunar-solar
calendar for 1934 years, from AD 71 to 2005. Those who say the calendar
should be off 8˝ days by now are, evidently, not telling the truth. This implies that the lunar-solar calendar is based upon what had
been observed and recorded for thousands of years, not upon later Jewish
calculations. 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. His views alleged that sabbaticals and jubilees could
not have begun at creation. In contrast, 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. However, the Egyptians had a calendar
with 360 days, which added 5 extra days at the end of the year, that is, 365
days per year. Another calendar allowed the extra five days to accumulate to
30 days in six years before adding an extra 30-day month in the sixth year,
but it was still a 365-day year with 30-day months. The first 3˝ years had
1260 days, and the last 3˝ years had 1290 days with a total of 2550 days.
Likewise, there were 2550 years from Adam to Joshua’s conquest (2510 to the
exodus + 40 = 2550). But years have never been
exactly 365 days either. Again, they needed an extra day every four years,
which became evident from the spring equinox, the annual flooding of the Nile
and the annual rising of the star Sirius in four years. Years were actually
365.25 days until it was eventually discovered that even this correction was
one day too long every 128 years. A year is actually 365.24219 days. In contrast, there were
sundials and star clocks, which divided the circle of the sky and the circle
of the earth into exactly 360 degrees. 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. This shows that 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 (30 days per month). The first five months had 30
days each, but the problem arises during the last seven months. The text
doesn’t specifically say the last seven months had 30 days each. There has been an
assumption that Moses did not insert 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). Again,
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. 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. The extra Five days
are not mentioned at the end of the flood year (that is, the
5-day annual festival kept in Egypt for 1,460 years) 168
days after the 17th day of the 7th
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). The
Last Seven Months 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. 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. |

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 have been exactly 52 weeks every year plus an extra 52 weeks every 294
years (in four jubilees), this implies that the weeks and jubilees have been
perpetually attached to each other since Adam. This
is supported by Samaritan tradition that dates Israel’s jubilees from the
date of creation and from Joshua’s entry into Canaan took 57 jubilees (2793
years), and the conquest began in the 2794th year, the 41st
year after the exodus - http://thesamaritanupdate.com/.
Evidently
then, sabbaticals can begin with a new era, such as Creation, entering Canaan
or after Ezra’s return from Babylon allegedly in 457 BC. 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). Note on 31 AD
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: http://code251.com/code1900-p3.html. |
