John and fivedoves,

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

Solomon died in 930 BC. He reigned for 40 years. He began his reign in 970 BC. 970 BC was his first year, 969 BC was the second year, 968 BC the third year, 967 BC was the fourth year of Solomon's reign. 967 BC was the 480th year since his ancestors left Egypt. Adding 480 years to 967 BC, Exodus took place in 1447 BC.

From my post "Where are we now since Adam", I have calculated Exodus took place in the year 2538 from Adam.

2538 from Adam = 1447 BC.

God called Abraham in 2023 ( 1948 + 75 ).

2538 minus 2023 = 515 years.

Adding 515 years to 1447 BC, 1962 BC was the year God called Abraham. Below are two equal periods of the Old Testament and New Testament.

1962 BC, God called Abraham ------- 1994 years of Old Testament -------- 33 AD, Crucifixion ------- 1994 years of New Testament ------ 2027 God calls HIs church home. End of New Testament.

I have a more precise calculation of these two equal periods. I posted on my Facebook. Ray
