A Year to Hear: by O. P.

Armstrong, November 2013 rev 02/14

Around the year 1918, C Larkin raised the following point Again we must not forget that God uses in "Prophetical Chronology" the Calendar Year of 360 days to a year, while we use the Julian or Astronomical Year of 365 days, and it would be necessary for us to find out what kind of year is used and reduce it to the Calendar year. It is proposed that at any time past 1941, his Question could be answered with certainty. This is based on the definition of a Gregorian Year and the Prophetical year, as shown by 2 graphs at right. The second graph is an expansion of the first to better visualize the matter. The first chart is a plot of 7000 Gregorian years from 3974 BC unto 3027AD. If God is marking time in Prophetic 360 day years, then the 7000 Gregorian years are being shortened by the ratio of 360 to 365.2425 days per year. As detailed by the second graph, 6000 years of prophetic days, from 3974BC, elapsed on August 25 1940. After which date we would be living in the 7th millennia of 360 day years. To get into the millennia, earth must pass a 7 year time of tribulation. During that tribulation, a half () of earths population goes extinct and all sea life dies. Seeing as this is not the case, earth is not into the last millennium rest day. Thus neither is God using a prophetic year to mark general time. The definition of a year is the nominal 365.25 days.

Finally, this method shows that any chronology system with Anno Mundi up to 3934BC is governed by Gregorian time (365.2425d/Yr), not prophetic time.

The Levitical calendar was both solar and lunar. Unlike the purely lunar Mohammedan calendar, it was adapted to the equinoctial, or solar year, for its feasts were linked with harvest ingatherings, while, at the same time, its months were strictly lunar. From this there necessarily resulted the intercalation of months of epact. As the annual difference between the lunar and solar year grew to months, such months were intercalated.

Scripture Basis The scripture basis of reckoning current time may be understood from The Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. Notice, it did not say before the foundation but from the foundation. When was this present world founded? Simple, it was started when Adam was turned out from Eden. That point is delineated by two witnesses. The first was the placing the Cherub to guard Eden. Has any single credible witness ever acknowledged seeing Eden since that time? The second witness was the slaying of an animal by Elohim to cloth Adam after the fall. Without the shedding of blood there is no atonement of sin. The slain animal was a type of Christ and it was slain at the start of this present age as was also Christ slain by Adams sin. These 2 witnesses (Cherub & Slain Lamb) testify the start of time-reckoning in this present age. The age of redemption to create a new heaven and earth began at Adams fall. Prior to his fall there was no need for a redeemed world. Adams fall marked the start of a new creation. A third indirect witness is determination of Epochs. By Usshers time we are now in year6017 Anno Mundi and by the Clinton Chronology we are around year 6150 A.M. Yet there exist no millennium peace upon this earth. Just the opposite, there are wars of all types in abundance. So either the 7 millennial days unto new creation are in error or determined time is by another calendar. The calendar proposed here is that reckoned from Jesus baptism by John at river Jordan as noted in Luke at about 27AD. The Law and Prophets were until John, since THAT TIME, the Kingdom of God Before THAT TIME were elapsed 4 millennial days. Since THAT TIME there are to be reckoned another 3 millennial days to complete this present age, of which about 1987 years have elapsed. Allowing for 1000 years of peace, seven years of tribulation and 3.5 years to go from peace to war after the millennium, there remain but only 2.5 years to be understood. If this analysis is incorrect it will be seen shortly. But if correct, then the 3rd temple construction shall start shortly in Jerusalem. Because TBC method of bible chronology starts from the fall of man, it is easy to reconcile with most chronological works. For example using Guinness or Ussher Chronology 4004BC AM, means Adam was 30 years old at age of sin. Using the so called Clinton Chronology AM 4138BC, pg 679 ATE, places Adams age at time of sin to be 164 years. Of course, not every chronology can be reconciled to TBC ages. For example Seder Olam revised chronology has creation at 3924BC or about 50 years before Adam by TBC method.

Below are listed References to the sources used here about divine calendars: 1. H. G. Guinness, Light For the Last Days, 1881, P678 the years 1923, 1917 & 1933 were proposed as termination as Daniels timelines. Below is the listed Larkin Reference: 2. C. Larkin, Second Coming of Jesus Christ 1918 If our inference is correct, then it follows that the Return of the Lord will take place before the close of this present century. How much before is uncertain. If the Millennium is to start in A.D. 2000, then the "Rapture" must take place at least 7 years before that. See Chart No. 5, on "The Seven Thousand Years of Human History." But right here we must sound a note of caution. There is too much confusion in Biblical Chronology to fix any dates with certainty. Doubtless God has ordered it so, so as to keep us in doubt as to the exact date of the Lord's Return. It may have been 4075 years, instead of 4004 (as generally given), from Adam to Christ. In that case we are living in the year 5993 from the creation of Adam, or on the eve of the Rapture. Again we must not forget that God uses in "Prophetical Chronology" the Calendar Year of 360 days to a year, while we use the Julian or Astronomical Year of 365 days, and it would be necessary for us to find out what kind of year is used and reduce it to the Calendar year. Thus we might find that we are nearer the end of the six thousandth year than we are aware, and that the Return of the Lord is IMMINENT. However, while we may look upon the above theory as suggestive and in a way confirmatory of the near coming of the Lord, it is not conclusive, and we are not warranted in fixing any date based upon it. And further, we must not forget that the "Rapture" may take place sometime before the "Tribulation Period" begins and Antichrist is revealed. So if we could fix the exact date when this century will close, and count back 7 years, the Rapture might occur 5, 10 or even 25 years before that, so as to give time for the rebuilding of Babylon and other events that are to occur before the Tribulation Period can begin, otherwise the Rapture would not be a surprise. It is not for the Christian to look for "Times" and "Seasons" and "Signs." To do so will put him in the class of those who say: "My Lord delays His Coming" (Luke 12:42-48). and he will become preoccupied with other things and neglect to be watchful. Let us live as if we expected the Return of our Lord at any moment.

Verses showing God does set boundaries on Times There is a season and a time to every purpose ( i.e. Daniels 70 weeks )

Ref. Ecc.3.1-8 Gal.4:4 Lu.21:24 Acts1:7 Eph.1:10 Lu.16:16 Acts17:30 Rev.6:17 Ex.9:5 2Sam. 24:15 Job 7:1 Job 14:14 Ecc.8:5&6 Gen. 15: 13-16 Gen. 6:3 Eph. 2:7 1Pet.1:20 Eph.1:4 Heb.4:3 Matt. 25:34 Matt. 13:35 Gen 1: 14-18

That God in the Fullness of time sent forth His Son Until The Times of the Gentiles be fulfilled To know the times or the seasons reserved by God (see also Matt16) The fullness of time He might gather together in one Since that time the kingdom of God is declared The times of this ignorance God winked at, but now.. Who shall be able to stand the day of His wrath And the Lord appointed a set time saying From the morning even to the time appointed Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? All the days of my appointed time will I wait A wise mans heart knows both time and judgment They shall afflict them 400 years in the fourth generation they shall come out .. Yet man's days shall be an hundred and twenty years In the ages to come he might show the exceeding Foreordained before the foundation of the world but was manifest in these last times for you Chosen us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world Come you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world Things kept secret from the foundation of the world Two great lights for days and years .. The greater to rule the day the lesser to rule the night to be for signs and seasons to divide light from darkness The days of our years are 70, if by reason of strength then 80 .. It is soon cut off and we fly away so teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom

Jesus baptism by John began the Kingdom Epoch. If time is linear, then knowing one point in the divine calendar allows mapping all other seven days into Gregorian time. Whilst there may be minor disputing about the precise counting of the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar, etc, all concur to within a few years (range 26AD to 29AD). The birth of Jesus in Year 4BC fits within both historical and prophetic documentation. The Biblical Seven Days of Creation teach us to consider that God shall complete all his work with fallen mankind and make a new creation in seven days of one thousand years each. And I saw a New heaven and a New Earth spake John in his Revelation. Go page 1
