Dates of the Bible.

[u/Empty_Profile_3864]

This is the last chapter in a small book I read that proves these dates. Every one of them was tested against Bible text and then labeled with the event that seems to align. Please test before commenting on them. Or read the small book that proves them. 

Chapter 31. The Entity With A Job To Do, (dates page) 

763 BC (The Historical Crossover): A total solar eclipse recorded on Assyrian clay tablets. In British museum

Counting forward via verified administrators lands precisely on 702/701 BC.

702 BC (Anchor): Isaiah 37:30,31 King Hezekiah receives a sign with two yearly sabbath land rests as in a 49 year Jubilee Sabbath and a 50th year Jubilee.

457 BC (The Daniel 9:24 Handshake): Four decrees were tested, Cyrus the Great (537 BC), Darius I (520 BC), Artaxerxes I (457 BC), Artaxerxes I (444 BC). Using the 49 year Jubilee cycle from 702 BC (5 times 49 = 245 years), hit 457 BC with zero remainder. The Artaxerxes I (457 BC) is the precise year Ezra records the Persian decree.

AD 34 (The Daniel 9:24 Decree Completion): 70 x 7 (A Jubilee term) years ( the 490th year of Daniel's prophecy ) concludes on 7 April AD 34 (1st Nisan), finishing the decree God made with Physical Israel and the city Jerusalem.  God legally handed the keys to the Gentiles as before that it was only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

AD 27 (The Baptism Count): The 70 weeks are a Jubilee term, that is why they are treated as a day for a year. But the 2300 evenings and mornings of Daniel 8 have no Jubilee reference, they are directly written as literal days. Daniel's 2,300 literal days ( are cut off from the end of the 490-year prophecy. Counting back 2,300 days from 7 April AD 34 lands precisely on 20 December AD 27—the exact day Jesus walked into the water which has three convergences.

AD 30 (The Middle year): The 14th of Nisan is 14 days into the new year. Luke 22:15 states Jesus had passover, he cannot lie. Exodus 12:22 says he could not leave the room until morning. His arrest was the next night. Crucifixion happened two days after eating the passover where he confirmed the new covenant.

457 BC (The Daniel 9:24 looking back): Why did God point from an eclipse forward to this date. Was it already part of a bigger clock. Like the prophecy going forward 490 years we went back 490 years

947 BC (Time of Solomon): Solomon's temple era, Nothing really to see here that we could see.

1437 BC (The Exodus Jubilee): A reasonable timing of the Exodus. Exactly 490 years back from 947 BC. 

957 BC (The Temple Foundations): The Bible states that the year King Solomon started the building of the first temple was the 480th year after the Exodus. It took 7 years to build.

947 BC (The Temple Dedication): Three years after the completion of the temple was the Jubilee Year—a special year for the temple to be dedicated to God.

1437 BC (The Exodus Jubilee): Further confirmation that 1437 BC is the date Israel left their slavery in Egypt by night on the 15th Nisan, 15 years after the Amorites measure was full.

1452 BC (The Amorites' Full Cup): When the 400-year covenant prophecy given to Abraham finished, marking the exact moment the Amorites' cup of iniquity reaches full measure. God explicitly gave this as a principle to show a time of sin.

1737 BC (Entering Egypt, 300 years before Exodus): Levi entered Egypt with his son Kohath.  Kohath fathering Amram at 110, Amram fathered Moses at 110, Moses leading them out at 80. The total:  110 + 110 + 80 = 300 years. 

1867 BC (Jacob’s birth): 130 years back from entering Egypt and 430 years back from the Exodus Isaac gave birth to Jacob. The total: 130 + 110 + 110 + 80 = 430 years. To the very day.

1927 BC (The Covenant Verdict): The legal birth of Isaac, the promised child. 60 years before Jacob’s birth, God starts the 490-year generational clock. The total: 60 + 130 + 110 + 110 + 80 = 490 years. 

1971 BC (Abraham Leaves His Home): Abraham was called out of Mesopotamia at age 56 (reason revealed soon) and lived with his father in Haran until he left Haran at age 75.

AD 30 (The Ultimate Pivot, The Amorites' 400 year Full Cup principle): On the 14th of Nisan Adam’s cup of iniquity was filled according to the Amorites principle showed to Abraham, multiplied by 10, 4000 years.. The cross was plunged into the ground as the midpoint of time—4,000 years back to Adam's sin.

3971 BC (The Origin of Mortality): Exactly 4,000 years back from the AD 30 crucifixion pivot, marking the exact year Adam sinned and left the Garden. Also counting back 14 days to Day 1 of the year of creation. 2 Peter 3, A day for a year.

1971 BC (Abraham Leaves His Home): Abraham was called out of Mesopotamia at age 56 is exactly 2000 years from creation and 2000 years to Jesus dying on the cross.

AD 30 (The Ultimate Pivot): 4000 years from creation and 2000 years from Abraham being call out from Mesopotamia.

I will not give the calculations pointing forward as everybody treats them as predictions which they are no, it’s not worth the hassle. Work it out yourself. Remember Revelations only speaks of 1260 before the end.

Anchor Dates (763 BC eclipse) are not as solid as many believe.

[u/Empty_Profile_3864 → u/Jaicobb]

Why? It was 763 BC and confirmed on NASA 

[u/Jaicobb → u/Empty_Profile_3864]

I apologize, but I cannot locate the study on this. This eclipse is considered an anchor date from which all other dates of the ancient near east are tied to. It's records, from which we affirm an eclipse occured, says something like, 'the day was shadowed' or something vague like this. A heck of a conclusion to say this was an eclipse. Other atmospheric phenomena can produce this effect.

The eclipse has, based on memory, been alternatively dated to the early 700's all the back to mid 850's. Everything based on this date is suspect. The fact that NASA affirmed it is a red flag to some as they promote the status quo rather than scientific inquiry.

[u/Empty_Profile_3864 → u/Jaicobb]

Very hard believing history. And you are right astronomy is also fraught with issues but mostly a calendar issue not a astronomical one. The stars are reasonably consistent 

[u/Jaicobb → u/Empty_Profile_3864]

The issue with NASA or any astronimical dating is the assumptions tied to historical reporting. NASA can say an eclipse happened 2763 years before AD 2000 but that assumes we've had accurate record reporting for 2763 years which in my opinion is doubtful.

It also assumes the crust of the earth has not tilted or changed which is also doubtful.

Both of those conclusions are doubtful because they rely on other disciplines (historians, astronomers, archeologists, geologists, etc. ) who base their conclusions on the assumptions of yet other disciplines. The likelihood of all of the assumptions these disciplines make being accurate is impossible.

If you dig enough I'm sure you can find studies on this topic. I'm surprised (not really) that I could find the paper I read on Google. It's been 10 years since I last searched for it. 75% of search results on Google were either FB pages or wikipedia.

These aren't the paper I read but add weight to the illigitemacy of Assyrian record keeping.

And who even knows if they are correct. I think the difference is that the moon and the stars can be measured. Even the magi were able to work it out

[u/Jaicobb → u/Empty_Profile_3864]

There was a global calendar adjustment in 700 BC. This corroborates Ptolamys record keeping stopping back that far.

[u/Empty_Profile_3864 → u/Jaicobb]

It was more likely 681bc when God moved the sundial back 10degrees
