To Emphasize Truth And Integrity.
We are taking this challenge to students, colleges and universities across the country. The purpose of this challenge is to know the truth. That is why we are reaching across the entire spectrum of a diverse audience to get a broad perspective from both Christian and secular communities. We know everyone on both sides are committed to knowing and upholding the truth. We all want to ensure our information is accurate relying on verified facts to everyone’s best interest. No one wants to perpetuate a myth or sustain a narrative that is not true.
John F Kennedy said, "The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth."
Bertrand Russell, "Education ought to foster the wish for truth, not the conviction that some particular creed is the truth”.
Martin Luther King Jr, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education”.
Sir Isaac Newton, “I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me”.
Aldous Huxley, "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored”.
Ayn Rand, "You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality”.
George Orwell: "However much you deny the truth, the truth goes on existing”.
There are many quotes throughout time from influential and famous people regarding the importance of truth. Although, the one that stands out the most is the quote from John 8:32, And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The Divinity Of The Old Testament Timeline
People make the claim man wrote the Bible. Oh, Really? Well then explain this to me. Here are just two key points that shows the divinity of the Old Testament timeline.
The progression of the Old Testament timeline is found in seven books of the Old Testament written down over a period of 1000 years by four separate authors who did not live at the same time. There is no way these four authors could have collaborated with one another to write the timeline. The only common denominator they had was God.
According to the Old Testament timeline from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus is 4,000 years 7 months and 10 days as God laid it out in scripture. The divinity of the Old Testament timeline is proven by what God told Moses in Leviticus 16:29-34. God told Moses in the 7th month of Tishrei on the Jewish calendar and on the 10th day was to be the Day of Atonement.
Knowing no one can control time and the events of time. Explain to me how according to the Old Testament timeline Jesus was born in the 7th month and on the 10th day that God told Moses was the Day of Atonement, which represented Jesus and Jesus sole purpose for being born was to atone for the sins of the world. Explain to me how man wrote the timeline to the very year, month and day God told Moses was the Day of Atonement. Explain to me how Jesus being born on the Day of Atonement according to the timeline could possibly happen.
What is remarkable about the completed Old Testament timeline is the way God laid out those 4,000 years, 7 months and 10 days and how no one can explain the timeline found in the Old Testament without the presence of God.
NOTE:. The 7th month of Tishrei on the Jewish calendar begins in late September on the Gregorian calendar. It is not in July.
Here is the second point of divinity. From the creation of Adam to the Babylonian captivity puts the year in 434 BC. The last gap on the timeline from the Babylonian captivity to the birth of Jesus is filled in by the 62 weeks of Daniel, which are 434 years. Explain to me how the timeline puts the Babylonian captivity in the year in 434 BC and the 62 weeks of Daniel, which completes the timeline from the Babylonian captivity to the birth of Jesus is 434 years. Explain to me how that is even possible. Just a coincidence?
Daniel said when he wrote his part of the timeline he did not understand it and he asked God to explain it. God told Daniel to seal it up until the end of time. At the 7th trumpet of the 7th seal time is no more, Revelation 10:6-7.
Christians today believe we are at the end of time and living in the last days. So what does that mean? It means God is revealing truths in His word never seen before. God is unsealing the book of time.
The Rules Of Dispute:
I do not want to hear opinions, speculations, surmises, suppositions, hypothesis, theories, conjectures or even guesswork.
Your dispute must be credible with a valid reasonable argument supported by empirical evidence, grounded in substantiated verifiable historical records and documentations with accurate dating in order to be considered legitimate.
You must be able to present hardcore facts that are irrefutable objective pieces of information, uncompromising free from personal opinion, emotion, or subjective bias that can stand up to intense scrutiny.
Take The Challenge.
The completed Old Testament timeline is the only credible and reliable ancient documentation of a consistent historical record. It embeds precise, sequential genealogies of human history, and unlike many fragmented ancient records, the Old Testament provides a cohesive, unbroken timeline from Adam (in the beginning) to the birth of Jesus, using 62 generations to link major historical figures and events. Other ancient timelines such as the Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greco-Roman and Mesopotamian dating systems, all rely on archeological records (pottery, tree rings, carbon dating) in order to build a chronological timeline, none of which record a timeline from the beginning of mankind.
These dating systems are based on guesswork and are totally inaccurate to a specific year of dating. Only the Old Testament timeline with its generational dating shows a divinity by the way the timeline is presented from the creation of mankind in the beginning, ending with the birth of Jesus. All the aforementioned timelines do not begin with a creation as in the beginning of all humanity, which is a crucial point.
The aforementioned timelines are not compatible with the Old Testament timeline and show discrepancies not only with the Old Testament timeline but also contradict each other. What is simply amazing, the Old Testament timeline with the birth of Jesus as the center point of reference is the bases for our BC/AD calendar.
Although here’s the challenge. If you think you have a legitimate argument to make a claim, give it your best shot.
Remember the rules. Your dispute cannot be based on guesswork.
No One Can Meet This Challenge.
What does it mean if no one can meet the challenge to dispute or disprove the completed Old Testament timeline from the creation to the birth of Jesus?
It means there is a God, God wrote the Bible, Jesus is God’s son and God’s word is true.
It also means God offers you something far more greater than $50,000. Through God’s son Jesus He offers you eternal life.
Yes, offering $50,000 to disprove the completed Old Testament timeline is unconventional but these are the days we live in. The only thing most people today understand is $$ CASH $$, including the majority of Christians today who have become lukewarm and complacent in their Christianity with their love and affections for the things of the world.
You say or even make the claim the completed Old Testament timeline is not valid. Well, here is your chance to disprove it and collect $50,000.
Do not tell me the timeline is not valid unless you can present concrete evidence to the contrary that it is not. I am willing to put up $50,000 to say you cannot backup your claim.
I have grown weary of people disparaging the completed Old Testament timeline without reading it, or giving a valid argument against it. It is easy for people especially unbelievers to scorn, mock and belittle something they consider a fairytale, myth or fiction. However, as the cliche goes, money talks, put up or shut up.
This is not a proselytizing or even an evangelizing post to bring people to faith. I am proving a point here not only to skeptics, scoffers and unbelievers but also to lackadaisical Christians.
If you consider yourself an academic scholar, a philosophical brainiac, an intellect of higher learning, or even if you’re just an average ordinary smart person and you feel you can make a legitimate claim to dispute the completed Old Testament timeline with evidence, I want to hear your argument. If you can make a valid dispute you can collect $50,000. There’s the challenge, put up or shut up.
In 2023 when I post this recent discovery after 20 years of research, most people including Christians just shrugged it off.
Even without reading the timeline many people claimed it was not valid, which raises the question. How can you be taken serious to give a credible opinion without first reading the Old Testament timeline? Everyone who reads the timeline cannot explain it without concluding only God could have made the timeline happen as it is laid out in the scripture.
Let’s Get Into It.
Just recently discovered, very few people have seen the Old Testament Timeline in its completion.
For the last 2,000 years not even the Jews have seen the completed Old Testament Timeline because God has kept it hidden in His word until now.
It is a part of the mystery of God to be revealed in God’s own time in the last days. I discuss this on my page, "How To Win Jews To Christ Using The Old Testament Timeline".
Why Only Now Has The Timeline Been Discovered In Its Completion?
In my book, The True Birthday Of Jesus According To The Bible, I give several valid reasons why the Old Testament timeline is only now being discovered. Although, this is what I believe is the most compelling reason for this new discovery. It has a lot to do with what the apostle Paul said in Romans chapters 10-11 and II Corinthians chapter 3.
Paul said God has placed a veil of blindness over the eyes of the Jews from the truth of His word for their rejection of Jesus but in the last days God will lift the veil of blindness and open their eyes to accept Jesus as their Messiah. There are over 15 million Jews in the world today and not one of them have ever seen the completed Old Testament Timeline that points to Jesus as God’s Son. God has blinded their eyes but is now ready to lift the veil of blindness.
Read Romans chapter 9:15-33 and you might understand, God has a purpose in His own time. God shows mercy on whom He will show mercy.
The Jews regard the Old Testament as God's sacred holy word.
Although, did you know Isaiah 53 is referred to as the forbidden chapter by the Jews? Why? Because it points to Jesus as the true Messiah.
However, when shown the Old Testament Timeline with Isaiah 53 and Psalms 22, there is no Jew who can deny Jesus is the son of God and the true Messiah.
They cannot deny what they see in the Old Testament with their very own eyes when pointed out to them from God's own word.
Jesus fulfilled 356 Old Testament prophecies. That is an undeniable fact that no one can dispute.
What about Messianic Jews?
From the apostles to the early church Christians who were all Jews. There has always been a remnant of Jews who believe in Jesus by faith and have accepted Christ as the true Messiah. However, the majority of Jews and even Jews today do not believe by tradition Jesus is the true Messiah. They have rejected Christ and because of their unbelief God has blinded their eyes. Just as God did not allow the Jews of the Exodus to enter into the promise land but made them wonder in the wilderness forty years until they died for their unbelief. God has rejected those Jews who have rejected His son Jesus as the true Messiah.
God said in Hosea 4:6, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Here is another possible reason why no one including the Jews discovered the complete Old Testament Timeline until now? It was right there in God’ word all this time.
It not only has to do with God’s veil of blindness for the Jews rejection of Jesus but it may also have to do with the history of the Bible.
Up until 200 years ago, no one had access to the Bible. Only church monks, scribes, bishops and priest were allowed to read and interpret the Bible. Written in Latin transcribed from the original Greek text, the common people depended on the Catholic church to know what was written in God’s word. It is how the Catholic church was able to deceive so many people for over a thousand years. Not until the reformation in 1517 did the common man begin to have access to God’s word we call the Bible. Even after the printing press was invented in 1440, it would still take another 400 years for the masses to have access to their own copy of the Bible. Even so, most people who were poor could not afford a printed Bible and 90% were illiterate and could not read even if they could get their hands on a Bible.
The American Bible Society (ABS) founded in 1816 printed tens of millions of Bibles in the King James Version to be distributed all over the world throughout the 19th century. The ABS played a significant role in making Bibles more accessible and affordable during that time period. It was not until the early 1900’s that the Bible became the most printed, most sold and most read book in the world.
If God is in complete control of His word to preserve His word, why did He keep His word from the masses for over 2,000 years? I explain this in my book, The True Birthday Of Jesus According To The Bible.
Jesus before He ascended into heaven told his 12 disciples to take the gospel to the entire world. The gospel of salvation by believing in faith Jesus crucified, buried and resurrected on the third day.
Romans 10:17 says, So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Hearing the gospel, not reading the gospel as the masses for the most part of the last 2,000 years could not read but yet they heard the gospel and believed in Jesus by faith.
Why does God require believing in faith as a condition of salvation? The short answer is, to weed out the wheat from the chaff, the true believer from the skeptic unbeliever.
The lukewarm church and world events is evidence we are living in the last days. The gospel of Jesus by the grace of God has been taken to the four corners of the world to fulfill the Great Commission. Now the mystery of God is being revealed as we get closer to the coming of Christ. God is even now lifting the veil of blindness not only for the Jews but also for anyone who seeks to know the truth of God’s word.
Here is a question to any reasonable person who wants to know the truth. If Jesus is not the only begotten son of God then why does the Old Testament Timeline in its divinity begin with the creation of Adam and end with the birth of Jesus?
Because Jesus is the only begotten son of God and the Old Testament Timeline proves it.
You have seen the timeline in the Old Testament many times when you read the Bible. It is all those “begats” no one pays any real attention to but usually skips over when reading the Bible.
As it turns out, those “begats” with the three gaps and three catches on the Old Testament Timeline proves God wrote the Bible and God’s word is true.
When you see it you will understand how only God could have written the Bible. It is a part of the “mystery of God” for His purpose.
The Old Testament Timeline Summary.
The Old Testament timeline in its completion is miraculous. Its perfect coordination over centuries of time proves that such a flawless unfolding of history points directly to the presence of God. Far beyond human comprehension, this majestic progression of time throughout the ages operates as a symphony of divine orchestration, revealing the unseen hand of God who is in control of time and the events of time.
The Old Testament timeline is based on the lineage and genealogy of Jesus, 62 generations from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus.
The progression of the Old Testament timeline is found in seven books of the Old Testament written over a period of 1,000 years by four separate authors who did not live at the same time. Therefore, it is not possible these four authors could have collaborated with one another to write the timeline. Even so, no one can control time or the events of time, which again makes the Old Testament timeline so remarkable and divine.
The timeline features seven key events, which are seven reference points as markers in time.
There are three gaps and three catches but God fills in the three gaps and clarifies the three catches. It only shows how God is specific in His word and how He left nothing out or by chance.
The timeline begins in Genesis chapter 5 with the creation of Adam on the 6th day. This is the 1st key reference point. In the book of Genesis the Bible tells us the age of each father when his son was born from Adam to Jacob.
When we come to Noah we have our first catch. It is the 2nd reference point on the timeline and a key event.
The Bible says Noah was 500 years old when he begins to have sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. That would leave you to believe that Shem was the first born son but he’s not. Shem is the third born son. We do not find this out until chapter 7, chapter 10, and chapter 11. The Bible says Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood. Two years after the flood, Shem is 100 years old when his son Arphaxad is born. By doing the math that means Noah was 502 years old when Shem was born. Those two years are very important on the timeline as you will soon see.
Jacob is the last person on the timeline in the book of Genesis and the 3rd referenced point. The Bible does not tell us how old Jacob was when his 4th son Judah was born from whom Jesus would descend. Instead the Bible tells us Jacob goes down into Egypt with his family when he is 130 years old.
Later God changes Jacob’s name to Israel. That is important because in Exodus 12:40 we learn the children of Israel are in Egypt for 430 years until the Exodus, which is the 4th reference point on the timeline and a key event. This is the first gap God fills in on the timeline with 430 years.
It is also important to note that the Exodus takes place in the first month of Nisan on the Jewish calendar. Nisan is the month of Passover.
Now we come to the 5th reference point and a very important key event. It is the second gap on the timeline and also the 2nd catch.
In I Kings 6:1 we learn in the 4th year of Solomon’s reign in the 2nd month of Zif on the Jewish calendar, Solomon begins to build the Temple 480 years and 1 month after the Exodus. Remember the Exodus took place in the first month of Nisan. So, the second month of Zif would be one month later. That one month is very important to the divinity of the timeline. You would have to ask the question, why did God mention that one month to be so specific? In just a minute you are going to see why.
After Solomon the timeline picks up with 19 kings that reigned over Judah and the Bible tells us how many years each king reigned.
Solomon reigned for 40 years but because the timeline left off in the 4th year of Solomon’s reign, a key reference point. We add 36 years to the timeline instead of 40.
The 6th reference point on the timeline is not a key event but it is extremely important to the timeline. Up until now we have been marking the timeline by years except for the second catch with the month of Zif but now we come to one of the 19 kings that reigned after Solomon, king Jehoahaz who the Bible says reigned for 3 months. Those 3 months are extremely important to the timeline.
The 7th reference point on the timeline and a major event is the Babylonian captivity and the destruction of Solomon’s temple.
This is the 3rd catch on the timeline. In the book of Kings and Chronicles, the last king to reign over Judah was king Zedekiah. However, king Zedekiah is not in the genealogy or linage of Jesus. We find this out in Matthew chapter 1 where the linage of Jesus is given and king Zedekiah is not mentioned.
When king Nebuchadnezzar came up from Babylon and captured Jerusalem and the royal family. King Jehoiachin was the king on the throne and the Bible says he reigned for 3 months and 10 days.
Let me stop right here. Why did God mention those 10 days? If you have been paying attention you already know.
What happened is king Nebuchadnezzar replaced king Jehoiachin with a man by the name of Mattaniah who was the king’s uncle and king Nebuchadnezzar changed his name to Zedekiah. The Bible says Zedekiah reigned for 11 years and did evil in the sight of the Lord. When king Zedekiah rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar had to come back up from Babylon and remove him from the throne.
It is very important for you to understand why Zedekiah is not a part of the timeline. It is because Zedekiah is not in the genealogy of Jesus.
So, the last key reference or marker is the Babylonian captivity and this is a major key event on the timeline when king Solomon’s temple is completely destroyed.
The last gap on the timeline from the Babylonian captivity to the birth of Jesus is filled in by the 62 weeks of Daniel, which are 434 years. The birth of Jesus is the center point of time.
You can take your own Bible and trace the timeline using this outline as a guide.

Here Is The Completed Old Testament Timeline.
This Timeline Comes Straight From God's Word.
The timeline from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus is based on the lineage and genealogy of Jesus and anyone can take their own Bible and trace the timeline from the beginning to the end.
We trace the Old Testament timeline beginning with Adam in Genesis chapter 5.
You can trace the timeline from Adam to Jacob by adding the number of years how old each father was when his son was born.
Note: The timeline is 4,000 years 7 months and 10 days which puts creation at 4000 BC.
In just a minute you are going to see why those 7 months and 10 days are so important.
The Completed Old Testament Timeline.
The Creation Of Adam And Eve - 4000 BC.
Adam is 130 years old when Seth is born - 3870 BC.
Seth is 105 years old when Enos is born - 3765 BC.
Enos is 90 years old when Cainan is born - 3675 BC.
Cainan is 70 years old when Mahalaleel is born - 3605 BC.
Mahalaleel is 65 years old when Jared is born - 3540 BC.
Jared is 162 years old when Enoch is born - 3378 BC.
Enoch is 65 years old when Methuselah is born - 3313 BC.
Methuselah is 187 years old when Lamech is born - 3126 BC.
Adam Dies In 3070 BC
Seth Dies In 2958 BC
Lamech is 182 years old when Noah is born - 2944 BC.
Enos dies in 2860 BC
Cainan dies in 2765 BC
Mahalaleel dies in 2710 BC
Jared dies in 2578 BC
Enoch did not die because God took him.
Noah was 500 years old when he began to have sons in 2444 BC but Noah was 502 years old when his son Shem was born in 2442 BC, so we add 502 years to the timeline instead of 500 because the timeline goes through Shem.
Noah’s father Lamech dies 5 years before the flood in 2349 BC.
Methuselah, Noah's grandfather dies in 2344 BC in the same year as the flood.
Methuselah did not die in the flood but he dies before the flood.
Total years from the beginning to Noah’s son Shem, 1,558 years.
The time of the flood was 2344 BC, 100 years after Noah begins to have sons.
All the fathers from Adam to Lamech die before the flood.
How do we know Noah was 502 years old when Shem was born?
When you come to Noah the timeline has a catch but God in His word is specific in every detail.
Shem is listed first but Shem is the 3rd son.
Why is Shem listed first if he is the 3rd Son? Because Shem is from whom Jesus will descend.
The Bible says Noah was 500 years old when his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth are born, Genesis 5:32.
That would leave you to believe Noah was 500 years old when Shem is born but here’s the catch.
It is not until later the Bible reveals that Noah was 502 years old when Shem is born. This is also shown later in Genesis chapter 10 when the genealogy of Shem, Ham and Japheth are given and Japheth is listed first as the first born, then Ham and then Shem.
Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood, Genesis 7:6.
The timeline picks up in Genesis chapter 11 after the story of Noah and God’s destruction of the world by flood. The Bible says Shem was 100 years old 2 years after the flood when his son Arphaxad is born, Genesis 11:10. Which means Noah was 502 years old when Shem is born since Noah was 600 years old at the time of the flood and then 2 years later Noah is 602 years old after the flood when Shem is 100 years old.
The Bible is remarkable. God did not leave anything out or by chance.
Shem is 100 years old when Arphaxad is born - 2342 BC.
Arphaxad is 35 years old when Salah is born - 2307 BC.
Salah is 30 years old when Eber is born - 2277 BC.
Eber is 34 years old when Peleg is born - 2243 BC.
Peleg is 30 years old when Reu is born - 2213 BC.
Reu is 32 years old when Serug is born - 2181 BC.
Serug is 30 years old when Nahor is born - 2151 BC.
Nahor is 29 years old when Terah is born - 2122 BC.
Terah is 70 years old when Abraham is born - 2052 BC.
Abraham is 100 years old when Isaac is born - 1952 BC, Genesis 21:5.
Isaac is 60 years old when Jacob is born - 1892 BC, Genesis 25:26.
The timeline from Father to son stops with Jacob but the Bible continues the timeline by saying Jacob is 130 years old when he goes down into Egypt in 1762 BC, Genesis 47:9.
Add 130 years to the timeline.
Total years from the beginning, 2,238 years.
Now we have two gaps in the timeline but the Bible fills in the gaps.
After Jacob goes down into Egypt, the Hebrew children are in Egypt 430 years until the Exodus in 1332 BC, Exodus 12:40.
Add 430 years to the timeline.
Total years from the beginning, 2,668 years.
The next gap is from the Exodus to the building of Solomon’s Temple.
The Temple is built in the 4th year of Solomon’s reign in the second month of Zif, 480 years and 1 month after the Exodus, I Kings 6:1.
The Exodus was in the month of Nisan, which is the first month of the year and the month of Passover. So, the second month Zif (Ziv) would be 1 month from the month of Nisan, 480 years and 1 month.
That 1 month is important.
Add 480 years and 1 month to the timeline.
Total years from the beginning 3,148 years and 1 month.
We pick up the timeline again at the reign of Solomon in the book of Kings and Chronicles and the Bible says how long each king reigns over Judah from king Solomon to king Jehoiachin.
Solomon reigned for 40 years but the timeline is from the Exodus to the building of the Temple in the 4th year of Solomon’s reign in 852 BC, so we add 36 years to the timeline instead of 40.
Solomon begins to build the Temple 480 years and 1 month after the Exodus in the 4th year of his reign in 852 BC, I Kings 6:1.
Solomon began his reign 4 years earlier in 856 BC which means king David rules 40 years from 896 BC - 856 BC.
Solomon dies in 816 BC after a 40 years reign, 36 years after he begins to build the Temple in the 4th year of his reign.
Rehoboam reigns 17 years until 799 BC.
Abijah reigns 3 years until 796 BC.
Asa reigns 41 years until 755 BC.
Jehoshaphat reigns 25 years until 730 BC.
Jehoram reigns 8 years until 722 BC.
Ahaziah reigns 1 year until 721 BC.
Athaliah reigns 6 years until 715 BC.
Jehoash reigns 40 years until 675 BC.
Amaziah reigns 29 years until 646 BC.
Uzziah reigns 52 years until 594 BC.
Jotham reigns 16 years until 578 BC.
Ahaz reigns 16 years until 562 BC.
Hezekiah reigns 29 years until 533 BC.
Manasseh reigns 55 years until 478 BC.
Amon reigns 2 years until 476 BC.
Josiah reigns 31 years until 445 BC.
Jehoahaz reign 3 months in 445 BC.
Jehoiakim reigns 11 years until 434 BC.
Jehoiachin reigns 3 months 10 days in 434 BC.
Babylonian Captivity 434 BC.
Those 2 kings and the 6 months and 10 days are important.
Then came king Nebuchadnezzar up from Babylon and carried away king Jehoiachin and his family into Babylon and made Mattaniah king changing his name to Zedekiah. Mattaniah was the brother of king Jehoichin’s father.
Zedekiah is not in the lineage of Jesus and is not a part of the timeline. He was appointed as king by king Nebuchadnezzar.
The timeline at this point ends with king Jehoiachin being taken into captive and taken to Babylon. This is confirmed in Matthew chapter 1.
Jehoiachin is the last king of Judah in the linage of Jesus.
Total years from the beginning 3,566 years, 7 months and 10 days.
After king Jehoiachin there is another gap but the Bible fills in the gap with the 70 weeks of Daniel.
The 70 weeks of Daniel are divided into 3 parts, Daniel chapter 9.
62 weeks, 434 years from the Babylonian captivity to the birth of Jesus.
7 weeks, 49 years from the Babylonian captivity to the commandment from king Cyrus for the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple, 385 BC.
The Commandment goes forth from King Cyrus in 385 BC. By 384 BC in the year of jubilee the first group of Jews arrive in Jerusalem.
1 week, which is called the 70th week of Daniel and referred to by Christians as the Great Tribulation, is 7 years reserved for the last days. This is when the 3rd Temple is built and the antiChrist rules the world.
The antiChrist makes a covenant with Israel for daily sacrifices in the 3rd Temple. In the midst of the 70th week the antiChrist breaks the covenant with Israel and stands in the Temple to commit the abomination of desolation prophesied by Daniel and by Jesus.
NOTE: No where in the Bible is the 70th week of Daniel referred to as the great tribulation.
The 70th week of Daniel is called the great tribulation only by Christian tradition. I go into this in my book, The Rapture Of The Church.
In Daniel chapter 9 verse 26 says, And after threescore and two weeks (62 weeks which is 434 years) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
What does that mean? It means the timeline ended with Jesus because Jesus had no children or descendants and the Jews rejected Christ as the Messiah.
The timeline is based on the lineage and genealogy of Jesus.
The timeline begins with Jesus at the creation of Adam on the sixth day and the timeline ends with Jesus being born. Think about that.
From the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus.
The 7 weeks and the 1 week are separate time periods and not a apart of the timeline from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus.
The 62 weeks, which is 434 years is from king Jehoiachin and the Babylonian captivity to the birth of Jesus which brings us to 00AD.
The Old Testament timeline is a countdown from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus and it ends with zero to the year. Think about that.
Add 434 years to the timeline.
Total Years From Adam To The Birth Of Jesus,
4000 years, 7 months and 10 days.
Why are those 7 months and 10 days so significant?
Because God told Moses in Leviticus 16:29-34, in the 7th month and on the 10th day, you are to make a blood sacrifice for the sins of the people, which is the Day Of Atonement.
Jesus Was Born On The Day Of Atone In The 7th Month of Tishrei And On The 10th Day, Leviticus 16:29-34.
Is this just a coincidence that the Old Testament Timeline ends with 7 months and 10 days that God told Moses is the Day of Atonement?
Only God could have made it happen that way.
Read my book, The True Birthday Of Jesus, According To The Bible that completely explains the timeline from the creation of Adam to the birth of Jesus and is confirmed by Luke chapter 1.
It just fits to the year, month and day. God’s word is perfect.
NOTE: In 385 BC Cyrus the great gives the command for the Jews to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple in fulfillment of Daniel’s 7 weeks, which is the second part of the 70 weeks of Daniel, 49 years after the Babylonian captivity.
In 384 BC, the first return of the Hebrew people to Jerusalem from exile arrive and begin to build the wall of Jerusalem and the second temple.
20 years after the arrival of the first group of Hebrew people from exile in the year 364 BC the 2nd Temple is completed.
30 years after the 2nd Temple is completed in the year 334 BC, Alexander the great begins his conquest for world domination.
Important Note:
Jesus was of the house of David by His father Joseph who was a descendant of king Solomon, Matthew chapter 1.
However, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost but was also a descendant of king David by His mother Mary who was also a descendant of king David’s son Nathan, Luke chapter 3.
Later on in the book I will explain the 70 weeks of Daniel divided into 3 parts and what it means, which is important to the timeline.
I will also explain in detail the importance of the 7 months and 10 days on the timeline and how God made it happen.
If you look at the timeline above you may have already figured it out.
It is so incredible how the timeline shows God is in control of his word and time. How the timeline reflects what God told Moses in Leviticus 16:29-34.
Let me ask you.
Is it just a coincidence the timeline from Adam to Jesus is 4000 years 7 months and 10 days?
Or, that God told Moses in Leviticus 16:29-34, in the 7th month and on the 10th day you are to sacrifice an animal for the sins of the people, the Day of Atonement?
Or, that Jesus sole purpose for coming to be born was to atone for the sins of the world and as it so happens he was born on the Day of Atonement?
Or, that Luke chapter 1 puts the timing of Jesus birth on the Gregorian calendar in late September at the time of the Day of Atonement in the 7th month of Tishrei on the Jewish calendar.
Or, that Jesus was crucified, buried and rose again on the 3rd day at Passover, which represented the crucifixion of Jesus?
Think About This.
If God had not mentioned those 10 days with king Jehoiachin and the 3 months and 10 days he reigned. We would not have the exact day on the timeline, the 10th day. Why did God mention those 10 days?
The same thing with the second month of Zif in I Kings 6:1. If God had not made a point of mentioning the second month of Zif in I Kings 6:1. Or the two kings, the one king that reigned for 3 months and the other king who reigned for 3 months and 10 days. We would not have the exact month that gives us the exact timeline of 7 months and 10 days that God told Moses in Leviticus chapter 16:29-34.
Also, remember the catch with Noah? The Bible says Noah was 500 years old when he had his 3 sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. The Bible list Shem first which would leave you to believe Shem was born when Noah was 500 years old. Except God clarifies it in chapters 7, 10 and 11 that Shem was actually born when Noah was 502 years old. Those 2 years God clarified were important to put the timeline exactly to the year.
The same thing with Solomon. Solomon reigned for 40 years but God made a point to say that the timeline from the Exodus to Solomon was in the 4th year of his reign when he begins to build the Temple. So we added 36 years to the timeline instead of 40 to give us exactly 4,000 years.
Here is something else to consider. Why do you suppose God made a point to say how old each father was when his son was born from Adam to Abraham?
Or that Jacob was 130 years old when he went down into Egypt?
Also, why would God fill in three gaps with the number of years in each gap?
Or why would God make a point to say how many years each king reigned after Solomon?
How about this? The timeline countdown from Adam to the Babylonian captivity puts the year at 434 BC when you add up all the years.
The 62 weeks of Daniel, which is the first part of the 70 weeks, is exactly 434 years from the captivity to the birth of Jesus.
That would have to be the biggest coincidence of them all.
Daniel got it right to the very year. WHY? Because God told it to him.
Are all these just coincidences? Or, is it God?
There are just too many for them all to be just a coincidence.
God wanted us to know the timeline for his purpose.
People, do you see how God is alive in the truth of his word? God is in control because God has a purpose and a plan.
That ought to give you chills up your back if you are a true faith believing Christian. That God has proven by the evidence of the timeline His word is true because no man could have done it except only God.
If you could possibly think this is all just one big coincidence then you have no idea who God is.
There is not anything in history or on the timeline that just happened by chance. It was all a part of God’s design for His glory.
The creation of Adam and Eve. Their disobedience to bring sin and death into the world. The timing of Noah and the flood. The timing of Jacob going down into Egypt. The timing of Moses and the Exodus.
The timing of Solomon building the Temple. The timing of the Babylonian captivity. All these events were by God’s design and they took place on God’s timeline to the very year, month and day as it was by His purpose and by His plan.
The Old Testament Timeline is found in 7 books of the Old Testament, written by 4 separate authors who lived at different times spanning a period of 1,000 years.
There is no way these authors could have possibly conceived the timeline or collaborated with one another to write the timeline.
No one can control time, or the events of time, or control when someone is born, or how long a king will reign. Only God could have written the timeline as it happened in time, which proves God is in control of time.
To The Unbelievers.
You may say you do not believe the timeline. Oh Really?
Let me ask you. Knowing the timeline is found in 7 books of the Old Testament, written by 4 separate authors who did not know one another spanning 1,000 years.
Explain how the timeline as it is laid out in the Old Testament could have possibly been written?
Explain 4000 years, 7 months and 10 days at it is written and that God told Moses in Leviticus 16:29-34 in the 7th month and on the 10th day you are to make a sacrifice for the sins of the people, the Day of Atonement. Explain how the timeline ends with the birth of Jesus according to his genealogy on the Day of Atonement and Jesus sole purpose for coming to be born was to atone for the sins of the world.
EXPLAIN IT.
