Thursday's article, "After Two Days, He Will Revive Us", by Jack Kinsella, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
EXCERPT:
In the 1650's an Anglican bishop named James Ussher published his 'Annals of the World', subtitled, "The Origin of Time, and Continued to the Beginning of the Emperor Vespasian's Reign and the Total Destruction and Abolition of the Temple and Commonwealth of the Jews."
It was a ponderous title, but Ussher's work was a ponderous book. First published in Latin, it consisted of more than 1600 pages.
Bishop Ussher was no ordinary man, but one who was unmistakably blessed with incredible intelligence and insight that he devoted entirely to the study of God's Word. (By age 26, Ussher was chair of the Divinity Department at Dublin University.)
While that in and of itself would be worthy of a lifetime achievement award, Ussher went on to full professorship, served as vice-chancellor of Trinity College twice, and, by age 44, was elevated to the rank of Archbishop of Armagh, the highest position in the Irish Anglican Church.
The point is that Bishop Ussher was not just a smart man. He was an intellectual giant who used his God-given gifts to advance the understanding of God's Word.
Bishop Ussher's "Annals of the World" begins at the point of creation, which he determined was October 23, 4004 BC.
Ussher's arrival at the date of October 23 was determined based on the fact that most peoples of antiquity, especially the Jews, started their calendar at harvest time.

I pray you are blessed by all, and that you have a blessed day in the Lord!
