Rabbinical tradition states there are about 165 “missing years” from the date of the destruction of the First Temple to the date of the destruction of the Second Temple.
The missing years in the Hebrew calendar is due to a misleading accounting of the years of the Persian monarchies and that these years were consciously suppressed in order to disguise the fact that Daniel’s prophecy of the 70 weeks pointed to Yeshua as the true Messiah.
Jewish calendar represents the number of years since creation but immediately deny the proposition that the Creation account of the Bible is a literal six day event. I can only conclude that the Jewish Calendar is totally unreliable for dating the year from creation.
Personally, I think that the counting of days should only be from the expulsion from the Garden of Creation. We do not know how long Adam and Eve were in the Garden. We do know that the plan of redemption was instituted from that moment of expulsion.
6,000 years of dealing with sin, 7,000 [millennial rest - Sabbath rest from sin] make sense to me.
There are some things that are fixed in history and prophesied in Bible. God told Daniel he gave them a 483 year countdown to the year that He would show up on the scene. A total of 69 weeks of years from the going forth of the decree to rebuild and restore the city Jerusalem.
I use this pivot point to both start and finish in the counting of years, Jubilees, etc. So what year is it? You and I among many others have been working on this. Since my starting point is Yeshua, the anchor in both history and prophecy, I am having a little difficulty seeing the accuracy without this in the midst of your counting.
Added complications in the calculations of time is the fact that And he shall … think to change times and laws: (Daniel 7:25)
So we know for sure, that the times and laws are going to be messed with. That throws out using the common calendar that both the Jews and the world in general uses. So finding the changes is critical to understanding and accounting for these changes.
Using Adam 130th year when he had a son named Seth as a recorded time frame to start our counting to Messiah, it would be simple.. NOT.
One of the problems with the Jewish Calendar is how Daniels Seventy Weeks are calculated. They do agree that Daniels 70 weeks total 490 years, so that’s not the problem. The problem is where they fix the starting and ending point of those 490 years. Rabbi’s fixed the starting point with the Babylonian Desolation of the First Temple and then fixed the ending point with the Roman Desolation of the Second Temple. “Desolation to Desolation.” But in the real world that time period was actually about 165 years longer than the 490 years of Daniel’s seventy weeks.
Jewish Calendar omissions are the 70 years from the Babylonian desolation of the Temple until its rebuilding and the 58 years until the decree of Artaxerxes to restore and rebuild the city Jerusalem, the prophesied beginning of the final seventy weeks determined upon the Jewish people and upon the holy city. Also omitted are the 36.5 years from the end of the 70 weeks until the Roman Desolation.
5779 + 165 = 5944 But I am sure there is other misunderstandings within the counting of years in both the history dating and in all calendar calculations. So I still continue to check out conclusions of others to see what they have found.
I always question the traditions of men as many times they throw lies in to hide the truth. For example in your
30Ad thread we discussed one of the traditions of men in the church placing Yeshua's birth at ~
4-6BC: I said this was false as it betrays the very principle of the
BC/AD timeline itself which is centered around the birth of Jesus Christ. Therefore any
BC dates for Christ's birth are false as He could not be born any number of years
BC (
Before Christ) so, this means that His birth is
1 AD by default; His death would be
30 AD according to
Luke 3:23 which states that He was
30 Years old when He was baptized and, the year before He died. With this in mind it would seem as if there are ~
2,000 years from the time of Christ's death to our present time...BUT, there's one key question to answer concerning the
BC/AD timeline:
How many years were there Before Christ's death?
The only books which explicitly state this fact are
1 Adam and Eve and
The Acts of Pilate. The latter is when Pilate questions the priests after Christ's crucifixion and he asks them to prove Jesus is the Messiah in the the Torah; the priests admit they realized too late that Jesus is the Messiah and, they show Pilate that according to their scriptures Jesus would die on the cross
5,500 Years after Adam was created. The former book is when God tells Adam that He will send His Word to save and his descendants after
5 and 1/2 Days = 5,500 Years.
This proves that from the time of Yeshua's death to His second coming and
1,000 Year Reign are
500 Years. And since we know that Yeshua has not returned a second time the Jews would be the only ones who truly care to keep track of the number of years from Adam to our present time but, to throw us off the trail of Yeshua being the Messiah Satan moved them to switch to a lunar calendar and tampered with history.
At this point I will now prove the number of missing years. We cannot simply add the
165 Years that are"missing" according to Rabbinic tradition...
5,779 Years + 165 Years = 5,944 Years
The above assumes that the year is lunar, not solar but, we know this is false as I have proven above with scripture and math; and, in addition because God created the Sun to be greater than the Moon and the stars: it follows that the Sun leads the days and years and, that God's calendar is solar, not lunar or astral (see
Genesis 1:14-19). So how do we arrive at the true solar year with the above assumption? Since the Moon falls behind the Sun
10 Days each year...
5,944 Years x 10 Days = 59,440 Days
59,440 Days / 364 Days = 163.2967032967033 Years
5,944 Years + 163 Years = 6,107 Years
The above is false as this would put us in the millennial reign of Jesus Christ but, He has not come back yet nor is He ruling physically at this time nor have the beast and the false prophet been thrown into the lake of fire. Therefore we must use the current number of years to find the true solar year....
5,779 Days x 10 Days = 57,779 Days
57,779 Days / 364 Days = 158.7335164835165 Years
5,779 Years + 158 Years = 5,937 Years
The numbers I have arrived at match closely with what we see going on with the Euphrates river being close to dried up:
This video shows how the drying of the Euphrates river is affecting the Tigris river and other marsh rivers near the villages and towns of local farmers, fisherman, and all the families in the middle east who rely on agriculture for their livelihood.
This river shows how dams are being built in order to redirect water flow from the Euphrate to other Muslim countries and, how these dams are contributing to the drying up of the Euphrates river itself.
Here Steve ben Nun from Israeli News is showing Russia and the US forming near the Euphrates river and fighting to control it.
