Introduction to Biblical Time |
Most people do not consider the Bible a time sensitive book. In reality it stands on an accurate passage of time; but it is much different than the calendar in use today, the Gregorian calendar. Herein lays a problem. This is because the English translation of the Bible uses the terms “years” and “months.” These terms are equated to how time is defined today. God uses a different system and for the majority of people this is why. Including accepted scholars of the Bible they do not know how the Bible tracks time. Because they are using the Gregorian calendar the results are timelines with no relevance to Biblical history or prophecies. The Bible records historical events by placing them in a specific time order based on a more accurate time clock. God’s clock is one that man is unable to change or falsify because God’s timeclock is based on the movements of the earth and moon as they traverse the sun. |

1335_1290_1260 Explained |
Until certain "events" take place for all to see, we are always at least 3.5 years away from the start of The Great Tribulation, which starts the countdown to the actual return of Jesus Christ. The Father is in charge of this as per Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” |

Strong's Numbering System—Why? |
From time to time, when reading articles about passages in the Bible, references are made to a number referring to a system known as Strong’s Numbering System—a system that puts a number on every translated word of the Bible. The exceptions are a few words that have been added by the translators which they felt were necessary to make the English more readable. These words are normally italicized. |

John 5:22 Clarification of the word "Judgment" |
Many times when reading a Bible scripture—God’s Word, a statement seems so clear and positive that there could be no further discussion as to its meaning. In a recent conversation it was pointed out that a basic tenant of the New Testament is that the Father was choosing the Bride of Christ; that it is the Father who determines who the bride is to be, and who will be invited as guests to the wedding. This makes the Father’s decision an eternal life and death judgment concerning those individuals. |

Additional Calendar Information |
ADDITIONAL CALENDAR INFORMATION January 29, 2020, Revised 2021 10 17. A criticism that is leveled against the Jewish system (Hebrew system) of setting the Passover date for any year requires that they look to the first of Tishri—Feast of Trumpets. They then figure backward to establish the Passover of that year. This logic appears faulty until one knows that their belief that the first day of Tishri was the first day of creation. However this belief creates the insurmountable problem of not having the first day of the creation week beginning on a Sunday as explained by the following information. |

THE WORD "SIN" IS THE PENALTY |
THE WORD “SIN” IS THE PENALTY
This word “sin” is misunderstood by many. The Old Testament and the New Testament scholars alike define it as “missing the mark.” Is it true that God forgives us for missing the mark? Is there any urgency felt by wanting to avoid sin with such an indecisive definition?

Has God Appeared in Physical Form? |
HAS GOD APPEARED IN PHYSICAL FORM? (Bible verses quoted are from NKJV unless otherwise noted)
Does the Bible ever show God in a human form walking and talking with man? Or was He some shadowy voice as portrayed in the movies? The Bible tells us that God both walked and talked among men many times. Because of this, an important question needs to be asked: “Why did God choose to walk and talk among man in the form of a man so that He appeared as a man?” |

The Prophetic Days of Daniel 12:11-13 |
This article is not written to give an exact date in which the Messiah is to return to rule this world, but to delineate a series of events that have a distinct ending point in time; the starting date of which is unknown. By doing so, this work will provide those who are watching a timetable of events that will allow them to know when a potential beginning of the count to this ending point would start. Clearly Christ tells us in Matthew 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” What day and hour is Christ referring to? This statement refers back to the sign of Verse 30. Sign is #4592, meaning “a portent transcending the common causes of nature and so terrorizing that the whole world will see and try to escape.” |

Solar Calendar Proves Biblical Sabbaths (A Proof Study Dating Biblical Sabbaths & Holy Days) |
1 A PROOF STUDY DATING BIBLICAL SABBATHS AND HOLY DAYS In the fall of 2007 I was challenged by a group who set their observation of God’s high day Sabbaths by the sighting of the first visible crescent of the new moon, rather than the traditional days known as the Hebrew Calculated Calendar which is set by the Jewish authorities. These traditional Holy Days that I had been keeping for over 40 years were challenged as those not designated by God in his Word, but a counterfeit set of days. Could a factual proof be established for either of these beliefs? In the spring of 2008 the Midwestern U.S. experienced unprecedented flooding. |

430 Years of Exodus & 400 Years of Genesis Clarified/Combined |
It is vital when studying biblical events, especially prophetic events that one should consider all of the scriptures pertaining to what happened over the span of time involved. By following this method of study God will reward one with understanding. This is true when looking at a prophetic event, such as Genesis 15:13-16— 13Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. 14And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. 15Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. 16But in the fourth generation they shall return here for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” (Underlined emphasis mine.) |

God's Timeline of Man's Walk On Earth |
Through simple math this presentation will show by using the time elements God has put in His Word that the Bible proves an exact accounting of time from creation to the present weekly cycle of seven days. It will be precise—meaning that every day will be accounted for; not one day added or one missing. This work will use three types of years. AM (After Man) meaning the count begins at creation and comes forward in increments of seven to the present day. Also used is God’s Sacred Calendar, (aka Hebrew Calculated Calendar). The third calendar used is the Gregorian with its designation of B.C. and A.D. years, coming from the present and reaching back to creation. |

Books of Joshua and Judges Dated |
The key to determining the passage of time for these two Bible books is found in Judges 11:26. “While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its villages, in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities along the banks of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?” |

The Ten Virgins and Christ’s Return |
In Matthew 24:36 Christ makes an insightful statement, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only” This scripture has caused some to wonder why is the timing of the return of Christ the prerogative of the Father? Why is it an unknown day, when the Father has total command of what ultimately occurs? |

Has Time Been Lost? |
Many have struggled to answer this very fascinating question, either in the positive or in the negative. The answer is important to various religious groups because their beliefs are based on the observation of a particular day of the week, the origin of which they find in the first book of the Bible—the creation account of seven days in the book of Genesis. |

How Does God Mark Time? |
This question is fundamental, and the answer is important! Knowing His system and its parts gives an unshakable confidence in His word, the Bible, a book which relates man’s history from the first breath to the present existence and beyond. There is a provable system* which traces Biblical time and ties it to our present Gregorian calendar. It is an absolute proof of the Bible, so profound that it cannot be opposed. This is especially true if the core proof is based on the simple mathematical principal of the addition of seven, beginning with the creation week of seven literal days, and coming forward to today. |

HOW DID GOD SET HIS CALENDAR? |
Ask yourself these questions. When did God create Adam and Eve? When did He destroy all living beings except those on the ark? When did these historical events take place? Is there an unbreakable mathematic principal that God used to establish time? |

Setting the Sacred Calendar |
Ask yourself these questions. When did God create Adam and Eve? When did He destroy all living beings except those on the ark? God’s word contains many historical dates which take on a greater meaning when they are shown to reflect the creation week. This article will explain how God tracks time and how He set His Sacred calendar for all mankind to understand. His calendar is not determined by what is observed in the present skies. It was set at creation by the seven-day week. |

Errors that Nullify the Jewish Calendar |
A criticism that is leveled against the Jewish system (Hebrew system) of setting the Passover date for any year requires that they look to the first of Tishri—Feast of Trumpets. They then figure backward to establish the Passover of that year. This faulty logic is based on their belief that the first day of Tishri was the first day of creation (which it was not). |

360-Day Year Not Biblically Provable |
Some teach that the cycle of the earth moving around the sun was originally 360 days, believing that as a result of the Noachian Flood God changed the length of the year to the present 365.242 day year. First, there is nothing biblically that can be pointed to support this belief. The 365 day year was in effect from the beginning of time. This is a provable fact! |

Man's Purpose |
There is a biblically fixed system of time on which the historical events of the Bible can be brought to light. Revealing the true timeline will put to rest all the innuendoes and false ideas so many have about the historic value of the Bible. A foundation of truth must be laid. Ask yourself what does the Father and Christ want to accomplish through the act of creation? |

Noah's Flood and God's Calendar |
In light of the recent unprecedented floods in the Midwestern United States, I decided to review the account of Noah’s flood in Genesis 7 and 8. This study resulted in bringing to my attention the very detailed recording of the passage of time as the events of the Flood took place. These events are given to us as inspired by Christ—the Word—in a chronology of days and months through which God reveals a system for measuring time that parallels the present calculations of the Hebrew Calendar. |

How Do We Know That Noah Counted The Months Starting In The Fall? |
There are two biblical facts showing the start of the year is in the spring. In Genesis 1:14-17, God gives the purpose of His heavenly orbs that were set to keep track of time. Verse 17 reveals that He set them in their starting positions, like setting a clock to the right time. Setting the heavenly clock accounted for the first day of creation, meaning that the sun and the moon would have to have the starting point to be the first day of the seven-day week—a Sunday. |

WHY DID NOAH CURSE CANAAN FOR WHAT HAM DID? |
This was a question posed by our minister to the congregation of which I was a relatively new member. He did not give us the answer; but wanted us to put in writing the solution to the problem. By doing this, he accomplished two things. First, and most important, was that when reading biblical accounts that seem unclear, we need to dig out the truth of the matter. Of course in order to do this, it required more in depth study on our part; which was what he was trying to get us to do. Secondly, he wanted us to see that God did not condemn the innocent. |

THE TIME OF JACOB’S TROUBLE |
In order to understand the trouble Jacob encountered in his lifetime his life must be followed as he aged. Without a time marker this could not be accomplished. Consider the dates of the birth and death of one of his sons, Joseph. The bible does not directly record the year of Joseph’s birth, but it does reveal it through the use of several pertinent scriptures. These scriptures must be assembled in time order, and are as follows: Genesis 41:46-47. Joseph was 30 years old when he gave the Pharaoh the meaning of his dream at the beginning of the seven years of plenty. Genesis 47:9 relates that Jacob was 130 years old when he went to Egypt in the second year of the famine, making Joseph 30, plus seven years of plenty, plus 2 years of famine equals 39 years. This is Joseph’s age when his father came to Egypt. |

Was Isaac a Type of Christ? |
One of the most dramatic events of the Old Testament happened when God ordered Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. When reading this account it presents a problem. It may seem to be an isolated event in which only Abraham knew what his mission to the land of Moriah was going to be. |

Solomon's Temple Dedicated On The Jubilee |
This article takes the yearly progression of time as compiled by Dr. E.W. Bullinger through use of scriptures in the Old and New Testament, showing that the 480 years of I Kings 6:1 did not constitute an unbroken passage of time from the exodus to Solomon’s beginning of the temple. Bullinger’s writing in the Companion Bible clearly shows how this passage of time is to be calculated. What Dr. Bullinger was unable to pinpoint was how the dedication of the temple occurred in the Jubilee Year. Utilizing his timetable, but applying the following compilation of the passage of time of the Hebrew Calculated Calendar—year, month, and day, it correctly defines how and when the start of the count of the Jubilee Year was to be figured. Placing the Jubilee Year accurately, his work is proven correct biblically and calendrically. |

The Destruction of Solomon's Temple Dated |
At the end of the article, “Solomon's Temple Dedicated Dated On The Jubilee,” the concluding statement directs the reader to the need of establishing the year of the temple’s destruction. This would be the capstone that ties the Hebrew Calculated Calendar from the seven days of creation to the destruction of Solomon’s Temple, which in turn is tied to the crucifixion of Christ, proving the whole Bible is chained by God to this calendar. Obviously, the beginning point would be the dedication of the temple and its use as the timeline of the kings of Judah and Israel to set the destruction date for Solomon’s Temple. When studying the ascension of the kings of Israel and Judah it becomes clear that no absolute date could be established following this method—a method which many have unsuccessfully tried to do. For this reason, it was the prophecy of Daniel 9 and its connection to the coming Messiah that correctly reveals this date. Utilizing the Hebrew calendar to show how to accurately date this prophetic time period, the year, the monthly date, and the day of the week of the destruction of Solomon’s Temple will be revealed. |

The Good Friday Myth |
Today, millions of people and hundreds of church organizations teach and believe that Christ was crucified on a Friday and resurrected early Sunday morning. At one time, in my life, I also believed that; after all, the men (ministry) responsible for teaching the truth of God’s Word said it was so. But is this what your bible actually says? What is the truth? |

Last Seven Days of the Life of Christ |
To accurately account for the last seven days of Christ’s life it must be remembered that the biblical day begins at sunset, and not as the present Gregorian calendar day which starts at midnight. |

HAS THE PASSOVER BEEN PASSED OVER? |
The Passover is an important event in God’s calendar, and not to be taken lightly. Because there is a deep desire to follow the example set for us by Christ, we would want to structure our lives to bring the Father’s and Christ’s approval. This strong desire is what moves a true Christian to search out that way of life. |

UNDERSTANDING LEAVEN |
The past teachings have pictured leaven as being bad. This has resulted in an understanding that leaven equals sin. In I Corinthians 5:6-8 Paul equates leaven with malice and wickedness and by contrast unleavened with sincerity and truth. 6“Your glorying [is] not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed, Christ our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.” Leaven here is put in a bad light. |

The Church of God - Where Is It? |
Christ said, “I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Matt. 16:18. In our present age, the word “church” is difficult to biblically define. It is like many biblical terms which are translated from the Greek and can only be understood by the way they are used. |

What is the Government of God? — The Church of God |
What is the Government of God, or more to the point for us today, what constitutes the Government of God in the church, and how does it work? Before these questions can be answered, an acknowledgement must be made as to what is the most central truth of God. What has man been created for? The answer to this question is tied to that most wonderful truth with which God has blessed His church, and the very answers to that great “why” lie therein. Why do we live? What is the purpose of our existence? All we see in this world is death as the end product of this life, which is what the academics of great educational systems teach. For them life is an accident with death as a consequence. |
