Here it is ... a study using our regular Gentile years in common usage on every newspaper! What an amazing concept -> that God hid it all in plain sight! No need to calculate "bible years" or 360 day years, or learn the Julian/Gregorian anything. And it seems to work!!
Yes, the past truly is prologue, Jewish feasts and ancient Bible dates do mean something for the future:
"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: WHICH ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME; but the body is of Christ." Colossians 2:16-17
It is obvious from reading the Bible that the current year is not 5767 as claimed by modern Jewish rabbis. It is actually about year 6,000, and our creation "work week" is about to close - a millennial day of 1,000 year rest is about to start. Those Jewish years are about 240 years off.
Why?
Because when the dates where set up in the early centuries after Christ, they purposely miscalculated the years to avoid the obvious implication that Jesus Christ is the Messiah foretold in the book of Daniel. Daniel predicted when the messiah would come, and no other messiah showed up - other than Jesus Christ. So they decided to fudge the numbers in order to keep people from believing in Jesus. What a scam! It continues to this very day.
Now on to our study.
Here are the Literal Bible years as given by the book of Genesis.
Read the chart as being the "years from the date of creation" - so we have Adam's birth year given as "0" and all the years that follow it are in the chart.
Here are some notes to help you understand how to read the chart.
Note #1. "na" because Enoch didn't die, but was translated in year 987, Gen: 5:24.(Adam's death occurred year 930, which was 57 years before Enoch's rapture).
Note #2. Gen 11:10: Noah was 600 at flood (here calculated as year 1656), and Shem was 100 two years after flood. Therefore two years are added to the age 500 when Noah had his sons (Japhet born first, Shem later)
Note Noah, the father of the generations of all mankind (by his 3 sons who produced the three races of mankind - European, Asiatic/Semetic, and African), is generation #10, which makes perfect sense and tells us that ten is the number of the gentile nations (Also, Genesis chapter 10 is where these nations are described).
Note Genesis is 50 chapters long which is 5 times 10. Five is the number of death, so that is a combination of "Nations" and "Death" - and what are the last words of Genesis? "coffin in Egypt" -- coincidence?? I don't think so. So the book of Genesis is basically is essential because it tells the story to all mankind of why we have death (Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit).
Here is where it gets interesting:
Note that Noah died in the years after Creation 2,006. Or, if we re-label year "0" as year "1" - it was after all the first year, then Noah died in the year 2007.
Could it be a coincidence that our calendar years have also reached the same number? Surely God knew way back at the time these things were recorded that they would be significant for us. (Many people skip genealogies in the Bible - big mistake. Jesus said man lives by "EVERY WORD" of God. How sad (and Satanic!) that the phrase "ever word" was deleted from Luke 4:4 in the modern corrupt Bible versions that are paving the way for the Antichrist - Note how "Get thee behind me, Satan" was scratched out of our Lord's mouth in the same chapter verse 8!).
Continuing:
Here are the following generations after Noah:
Note that Abraham, who is generation #20 of mankind, was born in 1948! Is this a coincidence that Israel was "reborn" as a nation in this same year, the same year that the very first Jew was born??? If we add one year, it is 1949. It was by armistice in January of 1949 that the Israeli War of Independence was officially ended, and the Nation of Israel was born.
What an amazing coincidence!? I trow not.
People don't realize this, but Abraham was 58 years old when Noah finally died. But Noah's son Shem actually outlived Abraham by 35 years!
(That would seem to prove that the reason for antediluvian long-life had to do with their strong genes, but the limited genetic-pool of Noah's children and some hereditary limitation that they carried and accumulated by intermarriage after, shortened lives after, and not the sunny environment after the flood, as is commonly assumed).
Also, note that Heber dies in 2187, a full 64 years after Abraham died. Heber didn't die until Abraham's grandson Jacob was already 79 years old, and all of Jacobs 12 sons had already been born!! Now you know why the Jews were called "Hebrews" - they carried the birthright of Heber their progenitor who was a famous old man alive at that time.
Also note something interesting, that Peleg (or Phalec from the New Testament spelling) dies in 1996. The Bible says about him "for in his days was the earth divided" Genesis 10:25. If his days correspond to our modern years 1757 to 1996, then we indeed have a very long period of wars, revolutions, and divisions around the globe. But then it ENDS in 1996 (or 1997) - perhaps meaning the earth being "divided" also ended in 1996/1997, and we have entered the final United Nations stage of world history - a united world like ancient Babylon has begun. The United Nations declared 1996 to 2006 as the International Decade for the eradication of Poverty, a euphemism for wealth re-distribution by means of socialism.
Will the next decade of 2007-2016 really be called the Decade for Diplomatic Contact with Extraterrestrials?!?

If we add the number of years of the Gentiles - being "10" - to the year 1997 for a final year period of wealth and prosperity for the world's kingdoms before the tribulation starts - then we have in year 2007 a rapture, and God dealing with the Nation of Israel again, and will use them to destroy the United Nations at the second advent of Jesus Christ (See Zephania 3:8). Could it be these dates?
Note #3 in the chart above. The reference is to Gen 11:26, it says Tara is 70 when Abram born. However, according to what is written in Acts 7:2 his age might have been 130 (205-75 = 130), although that is unclear. Apparently there were two times God called to Abraham and told him to leave, once before his father died, and again after. So we will stick to the 70 year old figure for Tara's age when Abraham was born.
Lot was alive when Tara took him (his grandson) and his son Abraham with him to leave Ur to go to Haran according to Genesis 11:31. What year was that?
It depends on what date Tara left Ur and went to Haran. According to my reckoning, the oldest date we can reasonably set for Lot's birth is probably when his father Nahore was about 19 and Tara was about 89 years of age, being year 1967. Interesting that in 1967 Israel recaptures the city of Jerusalem, which the Bible calls "spiritual Sodom" - the city that Lot was famous for. Coincidence??
If we stretch the date of Lot's birth out to when Nahor was about 73, then Tara must have taken him to Haran as a newborn baby in 2011. But this makes no sense because we then have Abraham taking this baby Lot as a 1 or 2 year old infant out of the city to travel with him when Abraham is 75, and they wander together (Abraham left Haran when he was 75, but lingered around, and went to Egypt for a time, but didn't actually leave to go to Canaan until he was 135 - the year his father died - that is according to what we can deduce from Acts 7 and Genesis 11 and 12). So this late date makes no sense since the baby Lot would have stayed with his grandfather Tera in Haran, but the Bible suggests Lot is much older, having herdsmen with Abram (see Genesis 13:4).
This date seems too late, so the year of Lot's birth as 1967 seems much more reasonable.
Jesus said it would be as in the days of Noah and as the days of Lot. So if we use 1967 as Lot's birth year, then we can assume that Noah and Lot lived at the same time upon the earth from about 1967 to creation date year 2007 - a total of about 40 years - the number of Judgement in the Bible.
If this analysis is correct, then can you See how significant that is?! The "days of Noah" and the "days of Lot" that Jesus Christ warned us about preceding his coming HAVE BEEN THE LAST 40 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN LIVING IN!
The chart following is the Jewish patriarchs that came next:
As you can see, these "dates" - if they indeed correspond to our modern ones, would all fall in the millennium period from Isaac on afterwards. This would make sense, since after the Church Age is over, the millennium period will be Jewish in character, with the Sermon on the Mount and the teachings of Jesus to his Jewish subjects being the new law mankind must obey.
According to 1 Kings 6:1, the Temple construction began in the 4th year of Solomon's reign, which was the 480th year after Israel left Egypt. From what I can tell (Israel leaving when Moses 80 at year 2609), this would make Solomon's construction of the temple's start at around the year 3,089 or so.
Again, if these numbers correspond to the future dates of years, then once the millennium ends in year 3,007 or so, will will have about 82 years in which to conduct the Great White Throne Judgement before the arrival of New Jerusalem right on time [Since judgement is usually a 40 year period, we probably 40 years for the dead of the earth, and 40 years for the dead in the "sea" - i.e., outer space "angels" - totalling 80 years - with a year or two between and after]. (see Revelation chapters 20-22).
The Song of Solomon 2:13 suggests that the spring will be when the Church rapture occurs "the fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away." Fair means white, meaning our blackness (Song of Solomon 1:5) will be instantly changed in a moment - what a glorious day that will be!
My fig tree in the backyard is today just putting out its new leave-buds for the year. I assume there will be green figs in a few short weeks, right about Pentacost time - the time of Spring Harvest!! The Church was born on Pentacost, and we will likely leave here on Pentacost. Maybe this year 2007!! (sometime around May 27, which is seven weeks after Easter).
(By the way, a second rapture of saints in the tribulation is suggested in Song Solomon 6:12, at the time of the second advent):
So Hold on tight to your King James Bibles and prepare to fly, our wedding day is almost here!
