CREATION WEEK THROUGH THE PATRIARCHS

DID NOAH BEGIN COUNTING THE MONTHS 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).

Video Timeline #03 CREATION WEEK THROUGH THE PATRIARCHS

The creation week through the patriarchs will be covered in this third presentation of the timeline. Before adding a year to the creation narrative it must be established, by a biblical account, that thirteen cycles of nineteen years each was factually God’s method of tracking time.  What was the bible event that shows the Metonic cycle to be the structure that God used to mark time?  It was the worldwide flood, and the record of the length of time it lasted.

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.
