Systemmatic Dating of the Holy Bible
|
|
Since God has been consistent in given details of times of events, reign of kings, ages of patriarchs, etc., an attempt was made in 1993AD to date the Holy Bible without any external reference. Thus, the following was the final result in pdf format (below).

Understanding the Calendars
|

The Ancient Calendar
The Ancient Calendar was the only calendar in the olden times. This was based on the lunar month when the new moon signified the beginning of a new month and 12 lunar months made up a lunar year. The Babylonians and the Egyptians were the early people who tried to adjust the Ancient Calendar so that it was also suitable for agricultural purposes (i.e. solar year). Today, only the Arabian (commonly referred to as the Mohammedan) Calendar maintains the Ancient Calendar’s format for the Jews had forsaken the commandment of God through Moses by modifying the Calendar in 358 AD.

The Jewish Calendar
In the Bible the months are normally not named (just as the Chinese Calendar); instead they are referred to as the 1st, 2nd……up to the 12th month. No 13th month is found. This clearly shows that one Jewish or biblical year is 12 months.
In Exodus 12:1-2;13:4, God gave the name of the first month `Abib'. Henceforth was the birth of the Jewish Calendar which was identical to the Ancient Calendar except that the 1st. month was called `Abib'. The five books of Moses in the Bible (Pentateuch) only named the first month as the month of Abib. All other months are referred to as numerical months, such as the 7th month. In 1 Chron 27:1-15; the 12 tribes supplied food to King David for 12 months only, and here it again indicates a 12-month year. God revealed to His people again and again that a year was 12 months only. In the book of Revelations chapters 11 & 12, we find that 3 ½ years (times) is 42 months giving a 12-month year and 36 months for 3 years.
It was only during King Solomon’s reign that the names of the 2nd month Zif (1 King 6:1), the 8th month Bul (1 King 6:38) and the 7th month became Ethanim (1 King 8:2) were recorded. However these names are not the names of the months found in the present Hebrew calendar. Only after the Israelites were exiled to Babylon were the names of the months of the present Hebrew calendar mentioned but hardly used. From here it may be deduced that the format of the present Hebrew calendar follows the Babylonian calendar. E.g. Adar (Ez 6:15; Est 3:7), Chisleu (Neh 1:1; Zec 7:1), Nisan (Neh 2:1; Est 3:7), Ilul (Neh 6:15), Tebeth (Est 2:16), Sivan (Est 8:9), and Sebat (Zec 1:7). Throughout the Bible, the names of the months were hardly used except for the few occasions mentioned above.

The Present Day Hebrew Calendar
The present-day Hebrew calendar, which was only compiled in 358 AD, provides an additional lunar month for every 3 years to compensate for the difference of almost 11 days every year between the Solar (Gregorian) year and the Lunar year. The former Jewish Calendar (and also the Ancient Calendar) had only 36 months in a period of 3 Jewish years but the present-day Hebrew Calendar has 37 months just as the present-day Chinese Calendar. Since the crucifixion of our Lord, God's time-clock for the Israelites as His people had stopped ticking. God destroyed the Temple of God in Jerusalem in 70 AD to prevent the Jews from keeping the Laws and the Feasts, for God wanted them to acknowledge and accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah, who came to fulfill the Laws and Prophets. Because God was no longer with them, the Jews departed from the Jewish Calendar given by God to Moses (with the 1st. month known as `Abib') by creating the present-day Hebrew Calendar so that it is suitable for agricultural purposes by adding an extra (13th.) month into the former Jewish Calendar for every 3 years or so.
Note: It is unfortunate that many Bible scholars and Theologians are using the present-day Hebrew calendar (created only in 358AD) to teach Christians the times and seasons of the Lord’s feasts.

God's Divine Year
However, God’s time-clock for the final salvation of all the Israelites will be in the end time (Read ‘The Last Seven years of the Jews’ for more detail). The calendar used by God during this last 7-year period are Divine years and months i.e. 30 days in a month, 12 months in a year or 360 days in a year. {prophesied by Daniel in 8:14; 12:11-12, and also in the book of Revelation chapters 11&12}
Teachings based on the present-day Hebrew Calendar are wrong and misleading and are thus unacceptable for instruction.

This is an extremely interesting observation, for
From the Creation of Adam to the Abrahamic Covenant was 2032 Jewish years
or 2000 Divine years,
From the Abrahamic Covenant to the Lord's Crucifixion was also 2032 Jewish years
or 2000 Divine years.

Thus, the Period of Conscience is 2,000 Divine years
and the Period of the Law is also 2,000 Divine years
Will the Period of Grace be 2,000 Divine years too ?

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 2 Pet 2:1-3
