About the 240 missing years in the Hebrew calendar

By: Yosef ben Ruach

Many Hebrew scholars believe that in the year 2007, the earth is 6007 years old. However, in contrast to this, the Orthodox rabbinic calendar tells us that the earth is only 5767 years old.

If we subtract 5767 from 6007, we can see that there is a difference of some 240 years between the Nazarene and Orthodox calendars; but who is right? And why would this question be important?

This question is important because it takes away one of the anti-missionary arguments that Yahshua is not the prophesied Mashiach (Messiah)
