Total Years From Creation to 2021.

The 1st Sabbath, of the 1st Month —Nisan—Sets ALL the Holy Days for ANY Year

Refer to Chart 6 as well.

New knowledge of this world comes to light every day.  This is also true about some of the technical aspects of the flood account which will be addressed here. The additional information does not change the original article, but gives more insight and clarification of this important bible account.

Most people have difficulty in understanding the bible.  A reason for this is that many times the bible gives concluding factual statements leaving the reader wondering what has gone before without the supporting information.

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 exact – 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.

In Matthew 24 Christ makes an insightful statement, “But of that day and hour no one knows, no not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only” (vs. 36; NKJ referenced throughout, unless otherwise noted). 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?

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.

Thus far all the material covering this subject has been academic. Herbert W. Armstrong gave a convincing argument in his 1952 booklet, Has Time Been Lost? In it he shows how the origin of time can be traced back to the creation week, but the part that he did not address was mathematical and calendrical proof which would have shown his work to be totally correct.

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?

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!

As shown in the previous presentation there is a biblically fixed system of time on which the historical events of the Bible can be brought to light.

Continuing to reveal the true timeline will put to rest all the innuendoes and false ideas so many have about the historic value of the Bible.  As we move away from the creation narrative discussed in the previous video, a foundation of truth must be laid. Ask yourself what does the Father and Christ want to accomplish through this act of creation?

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).

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. 

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.

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?

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.

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.
