>>There's no way to figure out exactly when God created Adam.
That is not true at all. The Bible, both old and new has all the genologys from Jesus back to Adam. The old Testament has all the years recorded. It is very easy to trace the genology from Adam to Abraham. It is quite a bit more difficult to trace from Abraham to Jesus, but not impossible and also, the Jewish people have records from Abraham on. They lost a lot of the genologys when the temple was burned down in 70 ad, but they still have a record of a lot of them, and as I said, we have the ones we need recorded in our Bible.
Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.
We have to remember, God could have very well created other men and women, before Adam, they were given dominion over ALL the Earth to subdue it. They were perhaps what some call a food gather. Adam and then Eve were created to tend the Garden of Eden, they were perhaps what some call a food producer. Some believe the "food gathers" were the daughters of man, and the "food producers" Adam and Eve were the Son's of God. Of course Adam, Eve & Cain fell from Grace and were no longer Sons of God, because they no longer reflected the Image of God. Only in and through Jesus are we restored so that we again reflect the image of God and we again become Sons of God. We take on the mind, thought and attitude of God, to always do His will. When we nail SELF to the Cross with Jesus.
>>Could it be, that the church would be in the earth for two days
The Bible says, today is the day and now is the time of salvation. If you think about that, one meaning could be that a day to God is 1000 years. While we were not promised a second day, there is actually two days of salvation. There is no place in the Bible that I am aware of, that we are given a third day of salvation.
>>He told them, "The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,".
WE are now "the christ", ever sense the day of pentacost. The Bible actually calls us the "body" of christ, but we are to have the mind of christ. We are actually to be everything Jesus was, we are to have His love, His attitude, we are to have the divine thoughts of God, just the same as Jesus had. We are to do the same works He did.
>>If I have not shown you enough evidence, wait there is more.
Just remember one thing, God reveiled His WHOLE plan of Salvation to Moses. So you always have go be able to come up with a verse from Moses. Just use the key word's third day, and remember moses taught in shaddows and types. For exmaple:
Genesis 40:20a-22
Now it came to pass on the third day, ... Then he restored the chief butler to his butlership again, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand. [22] But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
>>40 Jubilees = 2000 years
Yeah, I guess it does. What was the meaning of the 40 and the 50? And while you are at it, what was the significance of the 38 years that the man at the pool of bathesba was paralized? I did find a 38 year mark in the Old Testament. Having something to do with after 38 years of wondering in the wilderness and the men of war.
>>the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been (turned into wine). He did not realize where it had come from
That is kinda funny if you think about it, that it had come out of the bucket of water that they washed themselves in. It was dusty back then and I am sure they were not clean vessels before Jesus transformed them. The servants knew where the water had come from. I wonder if they thought that perhaps someone was playing a joke. They must have been more amazed than anyone that the water had been turned into wine.
>>28.729166 + 1970 = 1998.729166
Well, I don't know about that, I am not that good at math. Let us say the VERY soonest Jesus could have been born is 7 BC, then you add 33 years to that and that 0 year thing. That means we can expect Jesus in about the year 2025 and I think they say He is coming on the feast of trumpet. This is the year 2002 and you say Jesus will come in about a year, but it could be He will come a little more than 20 years from now. I think we should be ready to go though, because a LOT of people do not have a promise of tomorrow. God only gives us today, He could call us home at any time. Today is the day and NOW is the time of Salvation.
Also, if we are going to go in the Rapture, then the Holy Spirit is ALREADY doing a work in us to get us ready. SO in a way, the Rapture has already begun, because the Holy Spirit is doing a work in us now for the Rapture.
One more thing we need to take into consideration is that TIME as WE know time, very much involves decay and corruption. That has only existed for about 6000 years now. If there is any such thing as TIME outside of this ERA or AGE we live in, then it would be different because there would be NO decay and corruption. ALL of creation fell and ALL of creation is involved in redemption. This 2000 year period we live in now is the Holy Spirit dispensation, it is the Age of Grace OR the Church Age. In some verses it is called the TIME of the Gentiles. I am sure we could find other names for it. But the point is the end of the age is not the end of time, nor is it the end of the world.
