The 1000 years from Solomon unto The Christ temple are counted by bible prophesy. This includes 17
calculated years from dedication of Solomon temple unto apostasy. As Solomon ruled 40 years, his last 10
of 40 years were in apostasy. Thus concurring scripture; only Solomons last years were in apostasy.
Ezekiel 4 may be summarized as; the number of the years of their sins lay on this and that side, a day for
each year of their sins, a total of 430 years, that they may know why they went into captivity. Thus from
the apostasy unto Messiah or the Kingdom declared by Jesus are 983 years defined clearly by scripture.
The 17 years are years by difference using the millennial epoch of 1,000 years. Thus 17 years after temple
anointing were Solomon and the house of Israel faithful.

Review Comparison of Chronology by Prophesy to Others Work
A review of this chronology method is given by way of
comparison in the table to right. Chronology by Prophesy
(CBP) used the year of Jesus Baptism as 27 AD. The CBP
then worked backwards by bible prophesy and principle to
establish dating of bible events. The methods are fully
elicited above. By contrast others must also rely upon a
year sequence of events and use some start point to tie
the year sequence to Gregorian calendar. Ussher used
Jesus birth year together with the bible and historical
documents to establish his chronology. Another common
tie point is year of start for building Solomons Temple.
Most, but not all chronology, take Temple start year to be
480 years after Exodus. The typical evangelical
chronology places Temple start year at 966BC. This work
disputes that date as being about 16 years too early.
This review finds the CBP method to be within an average
of 47% of one standard deviation of average listed event
dates. The range is between 8% and 85% of 1 SD. The
results from the CBP method should thusly be considered
statistically significant to results obtained by the compared
peers.
The high degree of significance of CBP results can also be
seen by looking at variants to the closest other event year.
By that comparison, the average closeness is 1.6 years
difference. The closeness to Usshers chronology is to be
expected for Ussher also placed Christ baptism in year Since about 1997 the taunts of the 6,000 year scoffer have
27AD. However the closeness to Eugene Faulstich work is sounded like the taunts of Goliath upon the Armies of Israel. Yet
another matter. For Faulstich fixed Christ baptism year at none have answered him but cowered away. Now answers by
25.5AD. this analysis:
CBP method brings a new perspective to bible chronology
that other methods lack. Specific items are 1) Estimation of 2017 starts tribulation +/- 2 years
Adams age at sin and 2) Determination of King Solomons
reign years while he remained Torah faithful. For after two days He will revive us and on the third day, He
shall raise us up and we shall live in his presence.

Some Take the Daniel prophesy to be 483 year others use 486.5Y, the residual of 490 is GogMagog

When Jesus was asked about the end of the age, his reply was to consider the fig tree. Know when you see the fig tree start to put forth its
branches, then know that this Generation shall not pass away (elapse) until all these things be fulfilled. Another criteria is also, this gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached into all the world for a witness, then shall the end come. The latter can not preclude the former as the 144,000 shall

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

The Seven Covenant Days between God & Man: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013 r.Ju14
Introduction: This topic looks at the biblical seven days of determined time from a
covenant perspective. This is to mitigate errors related to finding the determined time of
the age of man or Anno Mundi. TBC perspective is there are seven redemption days of
a thousand years each. These days relate to the Creators dealings with fallen man to
make a new heaven and earth. The 7k years start at Gods redemptive covenant upon
mans fall and end with the abolition of Time and sin. Then Satan is eternally bound and
the New Jerusalem is established marks the abolition of time. Taking time to be linear,
we have a ruler 7 units long to be mapped into a Gregorian calendar. Fixation of a
singular point should map all other units into Gregorian years. The selected singular
point is Saint Johns Baptism of Jesus in the river Jordon:

The testimony of scripture is of a faithful God towards unfaithful humanity, Adam where are you? Soon the final chapter shall be
penned, happy shall we be, if found good stewards of our talents upon his return. The quest here posed is: can we find other days of
mans times penned in redemption promises?

Rainbow Covenant was given after the passage of flood waters over the earth
(around 2342BC). The rainbow, dove, and olive branch are universal symbols of
peace. These are apt symbols to signify the end of an age of violence. For we are
told the destruction of the flood was visited upon earths inhabitants because
mans thoughts and actions towards his fellow man were continuously violent
towards his neighbor. Doubtless there was also an abundance of covetousness as
seen exhibited by certain greedy nations of this present hour. Were it not for the
coming soon judgments upon earth, humanity would shortly war themselves to
extinction. It was to this end God declared his peace:
And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an
olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off
the earth. And Noah built an altar unto the LORD; ... and the LORD said in his
heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for mans sake; for the
imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite
any more everything living, as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime
and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night
shall not cease. And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. I set My rainbow in the
cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every
living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to
destroy all flesh.
The year 2974BC marks Lamechs 152.5 year or 29.5 years before Noes birth. At
which point Gen6:3-8 notes there were Giants in the earth for the Sons of God came
into the daughters of men & God saw the wickedness of man great every
imagination evil only and it repents Me I have made them & I will destroy man, beast,
the creeping thing, and the fouls of the air; but Noah found grace. This was the start
of the Rainbow Covenant Era in 2974BC.
By the Chronicle of St. Jeromes reckoning there were 942 years from The Flood unto Abrahams birth or 1000 years from the flood
unto Abrahams 58th year. This could also be viewed as 1000 years from Abes 75th year unto the re-establishment of civilized life
under the Rainbow Covenant after the flood. Jerome & Eusebius dates are thought to be based on the Samaritan Torah . Maybe this
alternative text gives us room to better comprehend the ancient flood era.

Covenant of Abraham
And he answered, Brethren and fathers, listen to me! The God of glory appeared to our
forefather Abraham when he was still in Mesopotamia, before he [went to] live in Haran,
And He said to him, Leave your own country and your relatives and come into the land
(region) that I will point out to you. So then he went forth from the land of the Chaldeans
and settled in Haran. And from there, after his father died, [God] transferred him to this
country in which you are now dwelling. Acts 7:2-4 AMP
Now the Lord had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, from your family and from your
father's house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you
and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I
will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. So
Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was
seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. And they departed to go to the land
of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. Abram passed through the land to the place
of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land.
Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land."...And
behold Then He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the
stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be.
And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
From Abes calling at age 18.5 unto Solomons Temple anointing is about 1000 years thusly:
Abe 18.5th year to Isaac at 100Y is 81.5 years. From Isaac to Exodus is 430 years. From
Exodus to Solomon Temple dedication is 488.5. The sum of these comes to 81.5+430+488.5
= 1,000 years. From the 1462 BC Exodus unto Solomon Temple anointing and consecration
is 488.5 year in 974 BC. This chronology is given in tables of the appendix.
From 27AD there are marked 2 covenant days unto Abes calling in 1974BC and one day
forward from 1974BC is 974BC. From 974BC unto Christ Baptism in 27AD, there are 1000
years. Two days prior to Abes calling is the Adamic Covenant in 3974BC and one day
forward from 3974 is the start of Rainbow covenant in year 2974, precisely one day prior to
the Abrahamic covenant in 1974BC. TBC timeline diagrams these events.

Covenant of Temple (Christ Body or Eucharist) of the Seven 1000 Year Days of Covenants read thusly
Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord.. and spread out his hands toward heaven;
and he said: "Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like
You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all
their hearts. You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have
both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day. Therefore,
Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying,
'You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take
heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me. And now I
pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant
David my father. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of
heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built! Yet regard the
prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Lord my God, and listen to the cry and the
prayer which Your servant is praying before You today: that Your eyes may be open
toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, 'My name shall be
there,' that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes toward this place. And may
You hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward
this place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place; and when You hear, forgive. "When anyone
sins against his neighbor, .. then hear in heaven, and act, and judge Your servants,
condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his head, and justifying the righteous by
giving him according to his righteousness. "When Your people Israel are defeated before
an enemy because they have sinned against You, and when they turn back to You and
confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You in this temple, then hear in
heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which
You gave to their fathers. "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because
they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name,
and turn from their sin because You afflict them, then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin
of Your servants, .. and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an
inheritance. "When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers;
When their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is; whatever prayer,

spreads out his hands toward this temple: then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone

and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may

You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name, then hear in heaven their
prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. .. yet when they come to themselves

Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.
Using 27AD as a basis, then from Abes calling at age 18.5 unto Solomons Temple dedication
is about 1000 years thusly: Abe 18.5th year to Isaac at 100Y is 81.5 years. From Isaac to Exodus
is 430 years. From Exodus to Solomon Temple dedication is 488.5 years. The sum of these
comes to 81.5+430+488.5 = 1,000 years. From Exodus in 1462 BC to Solomon Temple
anointing and consecration is 488.5 year, or 974 BC. From 974 BC unto Christ Anointing of His
bodily Temple in 27AD is also 1000 years.
If one follows Ussher pp6280-89, He also places Christ baptism in year 27AD, 6288. But
Ussher placed 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, etc to Oct 19, 26AD as the start of
Saint Johns work, Jesus 30th year, start of the Kingdom of God, and as 30th Jubilee.
(pp6280-83) P6. The effects of such variants have little effect on Tribulation start and are considered in this Table..
The means by which it is found to be 1000 years or 1 millennial day from Solomon Temple Anointing unto Christ Anointing are given in
this Appendix Table of Temple millennium.

The Seven Covenant Days between God & Man: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013 r.Ju14
The covenant of Christ Kingdom of the Seven 1000 Year Days of Covenants read thusly
The covenant of Christ Kingdom is simply stated: For until John were the Law and prophets,
since that time the Kingdom of God is preached and every man presses into (considered by) it.
The manifestation of Christ Kingdom by his baptism at river Jordon (circa 27AD) has given us a
new and better covenant by which we may boldly and directly come to the living God.
Acceptance of the blood of Christ is our once and for all time atonement, whereby we may now
boldly approach the throne of God.
For if the blood of goats and rams were able to clear the conscience of men, there would be no
need to yearly offer the same sacrifice. But the blood of Jesus is now our eternal peace with
God. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that believes not is condemned
already. Why for without faith it is impossible to please God.
The good news is that just as with Abraham, he believed and it was counted to him as
righteousness, so our faith in Christ work is our right standing before God. The rite of baptism is
what separates the new from the old. Just as when Israel left Egypt (a type of the old life) their
baptism by passage thru the red sea completed their break with Egypt. After their passage thru
the baptism of the Red sea, the old life or Egypt was past and their passage into the land of
promise begun. The presence of God is our light and darkness upon sin that it may not follow us
thru the baptism. We were plainly told that the chariot wheels of sins pursuit fell off behind the
cloud of baptism and the new man passed over on dry ground or without resistance. Thus the
meaning of Christ as our eternal passed over to that new and better covenant. After all who
wants to be a slave to the furnace of sin? As written, I believed so thusly I speak. For with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation and with the heart man believes unto eternal
righteousness. It is our baptism which seals us unto the day of redemption. For many yearned to
see the day of Christ baptism but upon us who believe has the end of the ages appeared that we
may hold firmly to our redemption of eternal life and the joy of a cleansed conscience. For the
kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but love joy and peace in the Holy Ghost.
From Christ Baptism, about 27AD, through the Parousia unto the end of seven year tribulation
there are 1996.5 years. Seven years prior to end of the hidden kingdom age (before 2017) comes
the Parousia return and start of wrath. Jesus told the same day Lot departed Sodom fire came from heaven & again, when the door
of the Ark was closed came the flood of destruction upon the ungodly. The final half week of Daniel to bring in everlasting
righteousness and seal up prophesy is reserved until after the 1000 years, a total of 2000 kingdom work years.

The Seven Covenant Days between God & Man: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013 r.Ju14
The covenant of Christ Kingdom of the Seven 1000 Year Days of Covenants
He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a
thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so
that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these
things he must be released for a little while. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and
judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their
witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had
not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ
for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were
finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.
Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall
reign with Him a thousand years. Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be
released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the
earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved
city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. The devil, which deceived
them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And
they will be tormented day and night forever and ever
"Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression,
to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to
seal up (end) vision and prophecy, And to anoint the Most Holy.
This begs the question: does man not sin again in rebellion after the thousand year millennium? So
if this rebellion against The Kingdom is sin, then when is everlasting righteousness complete? It is
proposed that the final half week of Daniels 70 weeks is only complete when the devil is tormented
forever and ever, that is the end of sin for where did sin start or rather who is the source of sin?
Thus it is proposed that the seven thousand years of determined time runs from 3974BC unto
3027AD. Because the Sabbath rest is to be exactly 1,000 years, this final time from when man
goes from peace to war footing is assigned to the two kingdom work days that bring in everlasting
righteousness by the Messianic word of his sword.

Column (A) is end of 7,000 years of redemption work; Column (B) is start of Tribulation or 6.9 + 3.5 years from the end. The 6.9
years are 7 sacred years of 360 days and 3.5 profane years to complete Daniels 70 week prophesy. Column (C) is date of
Christ birth based upon 30 years prior to His Baptism date. Column (D) is death & resurrection year of Christ based upon 3.5
years forward from His baptism date, Column (E) is the key point of this Table. It marks beginning of Johns work and Christ
baptism; from this point all other dates are assigned. Christ stated the Law and prophets were until John, since then the
Kingdom is proclaimed, Lu16:16. Column (F) is date of Solomon Temple start. There are 1000 years from Solomon Temple
Anointing unto Christ Temple Anointing. Column (G) is date of Date of Exodus start or 1488.5 years before John. Column (H) is
date of Abrams calling when he moved from Ur to Haran, Acts 7:2-4. Column (I) marks date of Noes calling as preacher of
righteousness to a wicked generation, there are 2,000 years between Noes calling and the start of Kingdom Age, Column (J)
is Foundation of the World when Adam fell and the Lamb of God was slain. This is 4000 years prior to Johns Behold the Lamb
of God that takes away the sin of this world, Column (K) is Anno Mundi or creation of this world age. Column ( L) is difference
between K & J or age of Adam at sin in profane years. Cain and Able were born sometime prior to Adams 130 year and after
Adams sin in his 27th year.
These variants are given due to uncertainty of the exact date for start of Johns work. The importance of John was clearly
stated by Jesus: Matt.11.11 - among those born of women, there has not arisen a greater than John & Lu7.28 - among those
born of women, there is not a greater prophet than John. This means the importance of Johns work exceeded that of Moses,
Noe, Daniel, Adam, and all other prophets. No other work was so precisely dated as that of John, for Luke gave 6 markers to
date the beginning time of Johns work. Yet with all that there exists some uncertainty when looking back 2,000 years. Go

Abraham left Haran in his seventy fifth year, about year 1918BC. The calling of Abram was at age 19, about year
1974BC. So he spent about 56 years at Haran. This may be checked because his father Terra died in Abram's 75th
year.
And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. So Abram departed, as the Lord
had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of
Haran. So Abram was sired by Terra, in Terra's 130 year, (205-75 =130).
The year of Abram's calling, 1974BC, is about 2000 years prior to Christ Baptism in year 27AD. This is determined
using 'Redemption Covenant Millennial Days' principle. As found by any calendar app, 27AD less 2000Years give
1974BC. Also 56 years after year 1974BC is 1918BC. This is determined using the chronology table (4026.5 years from
Adam's creation unto Jesus baptism) and redemption covenant days, (RCD) theorem. The year 27AD is RCD four and
4000 years prior (3974BC) to Jesus baptism was the year of Adam's sin and year God promised that the woman's seed
would crush the serpent's head.
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance they had gathered, and the souls
that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they
came, Gen12:5
The 'gatherings' or accumulations did not happen over a fort night but over a period of some 56 years. About 'the
souls', we are told the Abram's army was large (318 armed trained servants) enough to retrieve Lot from captivity,
Gen14.14.
The 'showing' of Haran was that although Sarai was barren (11.30), God was making of Abram a great and mighty
nation. The testing of Haran was that although Abram had opportunity to return he remained fixed on the promise of
his future.

The Seven Covenant Days between God & Man: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013 r.Ju14
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.

Chronology by Prophesy. Four thousand years prior to 27AD is year 3974BC, when the age of redemption began, Foundation of the

At end of Daniels 70th week shall be everlasting righteousness when the devil and his angels are eternally cast into the Lake of Fire.

Know when you see the fig tree start to put forth its branches, then know that this
Generation shall not pass away until all these things be fulfilled. For the earth brings
forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Nowhere in scripture are we told the signs in the heavens must be only over
the nation of Israel. Oh contraire Pierre, the work of The Kingdom is for
God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever
believes in Him as Savior and is baptized shall be saved, whosoever
believes not is dammed already for he believes not, for without faith it is
impossible to please God. Many signs in the heavens warn to be ready:

Prophets of the Scripture - The Sign of Jonah or the 3rd Day Warning
Jesus warned that very day Lot left wicked Sodom; fire from heaven consumed those wicked cities &
again the day Noah closed the ark door, the rains came & destroyed that wicked generation: as it
was in the days of Noah; so shall it be upon His return
And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day's walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days,
and Nineveh shall be overthrown!
"This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the
prophet. For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this
generation. The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and
condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a
greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and
condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.
But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign
will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in
the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the
earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from
heaven. He answered and said to them, "When it is evening you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is
red'; and in the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites!
You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. A wicked
and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the
prophet Jonah." And He left them and departed.

If the 10 years is postponed off the 40 Jubilee of Robert, then 27AD plus 1990 brings us to 2017.
The 10 postponed years are 7 years tribulation and 3.5 years for Gog-Magog (retool from peace

The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus also relates in his Antiquities of the Jews that Herod killed John,
stating that he did so, "lest the great influence John had over the people might put it into his [John's]
power and inclination to raise a rebellion, (for they seemed ready to do any thing he should advise), [so
Herod] thought it best [to put] him to death." He further states that many of the Jews believed that the
military disaster that fell upon Herod at the hands of Aretas, his father-in-law (Phasaelis' father), was
God's punishment for his unrighteous behavior.[3]
None of the sources gives an exact date, which was probably in the years 28-29 AD (Matthew 14:1-12;
Mark 6:14-27; Luke 9:9) after imprisoning John the Baptist in 27 AD (Matthew 4:12; Mark 1:14) at the

The 6k Year Timeline Appendix 27AD Baptism Alternatives
Below in Table 6 are alternative considerations on the date of Jesus Baptism by John. This comes from dates feasible by
astronomical data for Christ resurrection. The baptism dates are 3.5 years prior using Daniels prophesy that Messiah
Prince will be cut off in midst of the week.
Look at April 33AD Easter and count back 3.5 years to arrive at Oct 29AD baptism. But if Jesus was anywhere close to 30
years of age then His birth year would fall after 4 BC. Most will concur birth year after 4BC not feasible as the baby
murder king died 4BC. Some would stretch that by saying age 34 is about 30, you decide. Also baptism after 27 AD
cannot fit TBC tribulation date start prior to 2017.
Another Passover feasible date of Easter is 30 AD. Thirty AD also is the odds on favorite of bible scholars for the 1st
Easter. Again count back 42 months to land at late October in 26AD as date of Jesus baptism. Umm pretty close to
Usshers work. Next look 3,000 years future gives Oct3026AD. Take off 3 years 6 months for completing Daniels final half
week. This gives April 3023. Remove the millennium of 1,000 years to get Apr2023. Take out 2*1260 days or 6 years 10
month 3 weeks. This arrives at June 2016. The last of 4 blood moons is Sept28,2015, the 1st solar eclipses are march
2015 and 2016, with last solar eclipse August 2017, umm?
The 27AD baptism alternative has been selected by TBC as being feasible based upon Usher
and others review. The author list many links given for 27AD and other baptism dates in prior T7 26AD Baptism 3Dy
writings. A 27AD baptism can fit within a TBC perspective that the tribulation shall start prior to Oct 26
2017AD. A tribulation start in 2017 also fits with in the Tetrad Eclipses. 3days future 3000

THE REIGN OF TIBERIUS POINTS TO THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST By Marie Casale Copyright 2011
The first three chapters of Luke give us the framework for understanding the chronology of the life of Jesus. The
first chapter tells us that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great. It also tells us that he was conceived
in the sixth month of Elizabeths pregnancy and she conceived after Zacharias, her husband, served in the temple
in the Course of Abijah. The second chapter of Luke gives us the framework of the Census that was decreed by
Augustus and finished by Cyrenius. It was this census that drew Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem where Jesus was
born. The third chapter of Luke gives us the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius as the time when Jesus was
baptized when he began to be about 30 years of age. The life of Jesus fits perfectly between the reign of Herod
and that of Tiberius. The others that Luke mentions in these scriptures also fit in with the chronology.
Lu3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of (1) TIBERIUS CAESAR, (2) PONTIUS PILATE being governor of
Judaea, and (3) HEROD being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother (4) PHILIP tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region
of Trachonitis, and (5) LYSANIAS the tetrarch of Abilene, Lu3:2 (6) ANNAS AND CAIAPHAS being the high
priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. Lu3:3 And he came into all the
country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; Lu3:21 Now when all the
people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Lu3:23 Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) son of Joseph, son of Heli,
(1) THE REIGNS OF AUGUSTUS AND TIBERIUS CAESAR
Augustus is considered the first emperor of the Roman Empire, which he ruled alone from 27 BC until his death
in 14 AD. He had only one child, a daughter Julia. He adopted Lucius and Gaius Caesar who were his two
grandsons by his daughter and her husband Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. They would have been his heirs, but
Lucius died in 2 AD and Gaius was killed in 4 AD in Armenia. So Augustus adopted Tiberius, son of his wife,
Livia, by her first husband, Tiberius Claudius Neroas, and made him full son and heir.
Along with his adoption, Tiberius received tribunician power. This meant that his person was said to be sacred
and inviolable. He could annul any decree of the senate and interfere with acts of other magistrates. Any one
could appeal to him from courts of justice.
18
A Simple Day Between Temples by OP Armstrong Oct.2016
A Simple Day Between Temples by OP Armstrong Oct.2016
He could convoke the senate and put to vote any proposal he thought proper to make. He also received a share
of Augustus's maius imperium meaning that he was more powerful than all others. Then in 12 AD the powers
held by Tiberius were made equal, rather than second, to Augustus. He was a co-princeps or co-regent with
Augustus. Augustus died in 14 AD and Tiberius Julius Caesar was confirmed as his sole surviving heir. Tiberius
was Roman Emperor from 14 AD to 37 AD when he died. That Tiberius became co-princeps with Augustus in 12
AD; Suetonius: DeVitaCaesarumTiberius http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/suet-tiberius-rolfe.html
XX. After two years he returned to the city from Germania [12 A.D.] and celebrated the triumph which he had
postponed, accompanied also by his generals, for whom he had obtained the triumphal regalia. ...
XXI. Since the consuls caused a law to be passed soon after this that he should govern the provinces jointly with
Augustus and hold the census with him, he set out for Illyricum on the conclusion of the lustral ceremonies; ...
That Augustus died in 14 AD 16 months after he made a will is confirmed by: Seutonius; De Vita Caesarum:
Augustus: CI. He had made a will in the consulship of Lucius Plancus and Gaius Silius on the third day before
the Nones of April [April 3, 13 A.D.], a year and four months before he died, in two note-books,written in part in
his own hand and in part in that of his freedmen Polybius and Hilarion.
As you see in the following chart, the reign of Tiberius is counted according to Luke to include the co-regent
years with Augustus, and his 15th year matches perfectly with Jesus baptism at about age 30 in 26 AD.
The chart again, shows that the reign of Tiberius is counted according to Jospehus to NOT include the co-regent
years with Augustus and his 20th year matches up with the year Philip, (brother of Herod Archelaus and son of
Herod the Great) died in 33 AD after reigning 37 years.
Jos Ant 18:4:6 About this time it was that Philip, Herod's ' brother, departed this life, in the twentieth year of the
reign of Tiberius, after he had been tetrarch of Trachonitis and Gaulanitis, and of the nation of the Bataneans also,
thirty-seven years.

(2) PONTIUS PILATE
Pontius Pilate was the fifth Prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, from 2636 AD. As you see in the chart,
Pilate was Prefect when the baptism of Jesus took place in 26 AD just as Luke says that he was. He was also
Prefect at the time of the death of Jesus in 30 AD. Matthew tells us that Pilate washed his hands at this time to
illustrate that he was innocent of the blood of Jesus. (Mat 27:24)
Pilate is also confirmed by Josephus as having condemned Jesus to death.
Jos Ant 18:3:3 Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a
doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both
many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles.
He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to
the cross, (9) those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third
day; (10) as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him.
And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.
The sources for Pilate's life are the four gospels, the works of Philo, Josephus, Tacitus, and an inscription known
as the Pilate Stone that establishes his title as prefect.
(3) HEROD TETRARCH OF GALILEE
This was Herod Antipas, youngest of three sons to whom Herod the Great divided his kingdom according to his
last will just before his death in the spring of 4 BC. Because Judea was a Roman client kingdom, Herod's will had
to be ratified by the Emperor Augustus.
Herods three heirs traveled to Rome to make their claims. The oldest son Archelaus argued that he ought to
inherit the whole kingdom. Antipas and Philip argued that Herod's final will should be honored. Augustus
confirmed the division of territory set forth in Herods will except that Archelaus received the title of Ethnarch
instead of King. Antipas was to rule Galilee and Peraea as Tetrarch.
Herod Antipas is the one who married his brother Philips wife Herodias and had John the Baptist put to death.
He ruled until 39 AD when he was accused by his nephew Agrippa I of conspiracy against the new Roman
emperor Caligula, who sent him into exile in Gaul
21
A Simple Day Between Temples by OP Armstrong Oct.2016
(4) PHILIP TETRARCH OF ITURAEA AND OF THE REGION OF TRACHONITIS
Philip inherited the northeast part of his father's kingdom, Ituraea and Trachonitis as Tetrarch in 4 BC. This was
territory that Herod had received from Augustus east and north-east of the Lake of Galilee.
Josephus says of Philip:
Ant 18:4:6 About this time it was that Philip, Herod's ' brother, departed this life, in the twentieth year of the
reign of Tiberius, after he had been tetrarch of Trachonitis and Gaulanitis, and of the nation of the Bataneans also,
thirty-seven years.
As you see in the chart, Josephus calculates the years of Tiberius without the co-regent years. Thus, Philips 37th
year coincides with Tiberius 20th year.
(5) LYSANIUS, TETRARCH OF ABILENE
Abilene was so called from "Abila," its chief city, situated in Syria, northwest of Damascus and southeast of
Mount Lebanon, and was adjacent to Galilee.
That Lysanius was Tetrarch of Abilene is evident from Josephus. The beginning of the government of Lysanius
cannot be found, but he evidently continued as Tetrarch of Abilene until the Emperor Claudius took it from him
and made a present of it to Agrippa in 42 AD.
Ant 19:5:1 Now when Claudius had taken out of the way all those soldiers whom he suspected, which he did
immediately, he
published an edict, and therein confirmed that kingdom to Agrippa which Caius had given him, and therein
commended the king highly. He also made all addition to it of all that country over which Herod, who was his
grandfather, had reigned, that is, Judea and Samaria; and this he restored to him as due to his family. But for
Abila of Lysanias, and all that lay at Mount Libanus, he bestowed
them upon him, as out of his own territories.
22
A Simple Day Between Temples by OP Armstrong Oct.2016
(6) ANNAS AND CAIAPHAS
In 18 AD, the Roman governor Valerius Gratus appointed Caiaphas as High Priest. The successor of Gratus,
Pontius Pilate, retained Caiaphas in office.
Jos Ant 18:2:2 This man (Valerius Gratus) deprived Ananus of the high priesthood, and appointed Ismael, the
son of Phabi, to be High Priest. He also deprived him in a little time, and ordained Eleazar, the son of Ananus,
who had been High Priest before, to be High Priest; which office, when he had held for a year, Gratus deprived
him of it, and gave the high priesthood to Simon, the son of Camithus; and when he had possessed that dignity
no longer than a year, Joseph Caiaphas was made his successor. When Gratus had done those things, he went
back to Rome, after he had tarried in Judea eleven years, when Pontius Pilate came as his successor.
In 36 AD the Roman procurator Vitellius removed Caiaphas from the high priesthood shortly after he took
charge of affairs in Palestine.
Ant 18:4:3 Besides which, he (Vitellius) also deprived Joseph, who was also called Caiaphas, of the high
priesthood, and appointed Jonathan the son of Ananus, the former High Priest, to succeed him. After which, he
took his journey back to Antioch.
Luke 3:2 mentions Annas AND Caiaphas the High Priests. There was only one High Priest at a time and at this
time Caiaphas was the High Priest. Annas had been High Priest from 6 to 15 AD. Because he was father-in-law of
Caiaphas, he continued to exercise a controlling influence. He still had his former title and a great deal of his
former authority. This is why they are mentioned together.
Jhn 18:13 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the High Priest that
same year.
Act 4:6 And Annas the High Priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred
of the High Priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

XX. After two years he returned to the city from Germania [12 A.D.] and celebrated the triumph which he had
postponed, accompanied also by his generals, for whom he had obtained the triumphal regalia. And before
turning to enter the Capitol, he dismounted from his chariot and fell at the knees of his father, who was presiding
over the knees of his father, who was presiding over the ceremonies. He sent Bato, the leader of the Pannonians,
to Ravenna, after presenting him with rich gifts; thus showing his gratitude to him for allowing him to escape
when he was trapped with his army in a dangerous place. Then he gave a banquet to the people at a thousand
tables, and a largess of three hundred sesterces to every man. With the proceeds of his spoils he restored and
dedicated the temple of Concord, as well as that of Pollux and Castor, in his own name and that of his brother.
XXI. Since the consuls caused a law to be passed soon after this that he should govern the provinces jointly with
Augustus and hold the census with him, he set out for Illyricum on the conclusion of the lustral ceremonies; but
he was at once recalled, and finding Augustus in his last illness but still alive, he spent an entire day with him in
private. I know that it is commonly believed, that when Tiberius left the room after this confidential talk,
Augustus was overheard by his chamberlains to say: "Alas for the Roman people, to be ground by jaws that
crunch so slowly!" I also am aware that some have written that Augustus so openly and unreservedly
disapproved of his austere manners, that he sometimes broke off his freer and lighter conversation when Tiberius
appeared; but that overcome by his wife's entreaties he did not reject his adoption, or perhaps was even led by
selfish considerations, that with such a successor he himself might one day be more regretted. But after all I
cannot be led to believe that an emperor of the utmost prudence and foresight acted without consideration,
especially in a matter of so great moment. It is my opinion that after weighing the faults and the merits of
Tiberius, he decided that the latter preponderated, especially since he took oath before the people that he was
adopting Tiberius for the good of the country, and alludes to him in several letters as a most able general and the
sole defence of the Roman people. In illustration of both these points, I append a few extracts from these letters:
http://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/ancient/suet-tiberius-rolfe.asp
"Fare thee well, Tiberius, most charming of men, and success go with you, as you war for me and for the Muses.
Fare thee well, most charming and valiant of men and most conscientious of generals, or may I never know
happiness."

Contrary to what some say, the above table gives no bible indication of 360 day long
years upon Earth in times past. Genesis 7.24 says waters prevailed upon earth 150 days
and at end of 150 days the waters abated, 8.3.
In reading 8:3b with 8:4a indicates end of abating process was 5 month from start. Also
from start of prevailing until abate start could be 150 days. This 150/5 gives a thirty day
month. But there is no mention of year length in these verses.
For this selected flood year, the calculated Hebrew calendar (CHC) indicates 12 months,
for this Leap year, has 385 days. From the 2nd month to 7th month, 17th month days, the
CHC finds there are 29.4 d/mo.
Also there would be notable consequences by Newtonian Physics for earth solar year to
go from 360 days to 365.2422 days. One impact would be from angular velocity
momentum changes, akin to slamming car brakes. The second impact would be from a
heat balance. A longer year requires a greater distance between earth and sun. This
increased distance reduces radiant heat by the inverse square law. This means a cooler
earth, as seen on more distant planets. The physical record indicates no such changes,
unless by divine intervention. Such divine intervention is not recorded by scripture.
70th Week Postponement until the Consummation -
This writing is to posit fulfillment of Daniels 70th week to be completed only at the end of all earthly
things. John spake: I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the 1st heaven and the 1st earth were
passed away and there was no more sea and I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down
from God out of heaven Rev.21:1-2. This end of Daniels 70th week thusly corresponds with the end of
the seven millennial days to make the new creation, see table 1. Revelations chronology places the
new creation after 1,000 years of peace and after Satans final challenge on Jerusalem (unto the end
wars are determined). There must elapse some time gap (posit: Daniels last half week) for man to
move from peace to war. Otherwise, how would the millennial population (MP) exercise a freewill to
choose ye whom ye will serve or shall we suppose all MP will serve only evil when a choice is given?
The book of Daniel was singled out by name in Jesus teaching about Jerusalem. Thus our Lord himself
sanctioned the study of Daniels writings. Two important convictions are:
1. Holy scripture is but a calling of a faithful God unto unfaithful Adam to return back to his Creator,
Adam where art thou?
2. Just as the 1st creation was complete in 7 days; the determined time between Mans separation
from his Creator, unto a new heaven and a new earth is allotted 7 millennial days or 7,000 years.
Are these two grand considerations found in Daniel? My answer would be yes, as listed below:
1) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to
build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be The messianic purpose is the restoration of
man to his creator. Second point, 2) 70 weeks are determined to make an end of sins .. And bring in
everlasting righteousness, again: In the days of those kings, the God of heaven shall establish a
kingdom that will bring an end to all kingdoms, it will not be left to another people but will crush and
consume all other kingdoms, again: those that understand shall shine bright and unmoved as the
stars forever and forever, again; unto the end, desolations are determined.

70th Week Postponement until the Consummation -
The last half week postponement concept is not new. Calvin commented on the phrase, 'In the midst
of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease," said we ought to refer this to the
time of the resurrection. For while Christ passed through the period of His life on earth, He did not
put an end to the sacrifices; but after He had offered Himself up as a victim, then all the rites of the
law came to a close." Calvin's Commentary on Daniel. p.226, from Ridgeway. The postponement
concept for Daniels last half week of the 70 weeks is accepted in many circles.
The posit to postpone the last half week completion unto the end is perhaps novel. However, this
concurs the general themes presented in Daniel. For the revelations of Daniel all deal with even to
the time of the end: Dan11.35 & in Dan12.3 For ever and forever, and in 7.14 his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Again Dan2.44 and it shall stand forever. Since Daniels other concepts present a finality, unto the
end, it is logical to consider the 70 weeks also references a finality. For unto the end is just before
forever and ever because during eternity, time is of no consequence.
Such a posit is also found in the type of the flood. An earth Sabbath was effected during the 1 year of
flood waters upon the face of the earth. After the Earth Sabbath and before start of new world was
a time break. This break happened between Face of ground dry and Earth was dry.
Speaking of the Abomination and end of sacrifices; any sacrificial system after Christ death is an
abomination and affront to the eye of God. This theme runs through the book of Hebrews. In
particular Hebrews 10:29 explains clearly; How much heavier punishment do you suppose he will be
judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has
considered the covenant blood (of Christ given on the cross at Calvary) by which he was consecrated
common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who
imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)?

The conclusion of Daniels 1st vision of the statue: And in the days of these [final ten] kings

sovereignty be left to another people; but it shall break and crush and consume all these
kingdoms and it shall stand forever. Dan2.44

Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore
and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and
two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after
threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the
prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be
with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm
the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the
sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make
it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate
The last half of verse 26 and all of v.27 (above) are viewed here as the gapped last
half week. The difference proposed here is the gap extends until the
consummation or the final battle twixt Good and Evil as told in Rev.20:7-15. The
verses in Daniel 7 and in particular v.25 relate to the antichrist. The antichrist is
also as discussed 2Thes2:3-12 and Rev11.3, whilst Rev12.6 and companion verse
Mk13.14, give a total of seven tribulation years. Those 7 years being during the
witnesses, 3.5yr and after the witnesses, 1260 days. To anoint the most Holy is
seen as the coming of New Jerusalem to the location of old Jerusalem as spoken
in Rev21.2. The know therefore is simply additional information to explain the
prior 6 points.

Postponement means Daniels 70th week is completed after the millennial
year reign.
The end of the 70th week is to bring in everlasting righteousness and make an
end of prophesy. At the end of the millennial reign Satan is loosed and
entices many of earths inhabitants against Jerusalem. All of which must
consume some of the 7,000 years of Covenant time. For just as God made
the 1st creation in seven days, it is taken that seven millennial days from fall
of Adam, there are determined 7,000 years to make a new heaven and new
earth. The last Adam is Jesus who redeemed the old Adam unto life.
All told the proposed 7000 year timeline, when reconciled by the Balfour
Century (1917-2017) method differs by 3.5 years to the more conventional
viewpoint. Please keep those wicks trimmed and oil in your lamps.

If the 10 years is postponed off the 40 Jubilee of Robert, then 27AD plus 1990 brings us to 2017.
The 10 postponed years are 7 years tribulation and 3.5 years for Gog-Magog (retool from peace
to war) after the Grand Sabbath Millennial rest.
Others such as Dewey Bruton have done much work with Daniels prophesy and consider 2017

Per the prior chart, Y6k was reached in 1997 by many Evangelicals accepted Anno Mundi year
of 4004BC. Y6k of Luke 16:16 in 27AD is 2027 AD & Y6k with postponement is 2023.5 AD. TBC
ethos looks at the start of this era as dealing with fallen man. Thus Adams sin is taken to have
happened in 3974BC. This means Adam started his reign of sin & death at age 30, for an AM of
4004BC. If earlier creation dates of Adam are considered, then a corresponding increase in
Adams age at start of sin would follow. For A.M. dates as late as 3926 Adams sin age would be
younger. AM dates younger than about 3974 BC are not compatible with TBC ethos.
For the record, the gapped creation theory seems more plausible. The gapped creation is well
explained by C Larkins charts.
TBC view takes the bible to be but a love story of God seeking reconciliation with His lost friend,
Adam & his offspring. The information outside of a redemption narrative, for mans return back
to God, is irrelative in a bible context. The 7000 years (6 work days and 1 rest day) of
determined new creation time, starts from the fall of man and ends with the complete
restoration. At which point death is swallowed in victory over the result of mans fall, sin.
Those who look outside the redemption narrative cannot reconcile their work with the 7 day
re-creation idea. For that would mean earth is now in the millennial Sabbath rest. Such a rest is
not compatible with the wars & other grief most see on a regular basis.
Actually most have recognized this flaw since around 2002. Thus the shift in AM dates older
that 4004BC. Unfortunately that also negates understanding the 7 days of determined time
unless viewed as presented here. Chiefly as 7 days of restoration from mans fall from grace
unto total redemption.

Victory over Defeat: by O. P. Armstrong, December 2013
There are times when one can be challenged by bewildering circumstances. The
difference between being overwhelmed and an over comer is attitude and faith in
Jesus. Sadly some lose faith (Peter) and become overwhelmed. At which point many
tragic things can happen. The recent killing at another high school points this out all
too succinctly. This is tragic for all the victims family members who held such hope
for their terminated child. Holy Scripture tells us to let no root of bitterness spring up
among us by which many are defiled. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the
Lord delivers him out of them all, with the caveat that we seek Gods deliverance and
not take matters into our own hand. Wait, wait I say upon the Lord.
Joseph suffered two major setbacks in his life. First after being told in a dream that he
would be over his 10 brothers (Benjamin as yet unborn) he was cast into a pit by those
same brothers. Next he was sold as a slave. Then after a meteoric rise in Potiphars
house, again he is unjustly cast into prison. After two dungeon years he emerges as the
de-facto ruler of Egypt. Some likely traits of Joseph were forgiveness, no self pity nor
despair or bitterness. Paul tells of some circumstances to which he almost despaired of
his own life.
Another example was David who faced many adversities, some unjustly, another self
inflicted. In all these trials his faith in the goodness of God sustained him to a good end.
The examples of bible personalities and scripture provide insights for hope. There are
many metrics by which one could define success. Perhaps a word of caution is apt;
things highly esteemed in the eyes of the world are not esteemed in the Kingdom of
Heaven. Sadly some are so busy in frivolous works they fail to find Christ in their midst.
Job was upright before God and man. Yet the tempter brought great affliction upon
him. Shall we consider ourselves above Job and Peter? For your enemy walks about as a
roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, whom resist steadfast in the faith knowing
this that the same God who delivered righteous men of old shall deliver us also, that we
may obtain a better resurrection?

also in example of Ishmael age in Genesis. Abes age There is also a very strong prophetic reference to the
given, 86Y, when Ishmael born, Gen16:16, then is day count, Hos6:2 After two days he will revive us, on

the bible counts by intuitive years. But at the Exodus Adding these year counts, as given on page 9, one

The coming of the two witnesses will signal a
paradigm change in operation of the Kingdom of
God. For just as Jesus ministry in the Kingdom of
God awaited the passing of John the Baptist, so also
does the start of the two witnesses represent a
change of Kingdom Epochs.
John the Baptist came only preaching but gave no
recorded miracles. After John was arrested, he sent
to Jesus asking if Jesus was the coming one. Jesus
answer was to call for the afflicted. After that He
showed many miracles to Johns disciples and told
them to go tell John of these many signs.
Were such signs exhibited during Johns ministry,
then there would be a house divided.
The next Kingdom Epoch is the Holy Spirit and
Church Epoch. Just as there was no competition
between the ministry of John and Jesus, there will be
no competition between the church and the witness
of Revelation. The witness of Revelation by the
Jewish era Two Witness and the 144,000 from the 12
tribes will start only after the church is removed.
This is shown by the question of James and John to
Jesus and his answer.

More Triad Types by O.P. Armstrong, March 2015
And when his disciples James and John saw this, they
said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come
down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias
did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye
know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the
Son of man is not come to destroy mens lives, but to
save them.
The church age is an age of saving life and without
destruction. However when the two witnesses come
the manifestation of the Kingdom takes another
dimension. And I will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two
hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of
their mouth, and devours their enemies: and if any
man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in
the days of their prophecy: and have power over
waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth
with all plagues, as often as they will.

Stephens stoning was the final rejection of Yshua by Yahudah. Yahs wrath at rejection of His Grand Passover
started the judgment clock. A similar act of disbelief some 1500 years earlier also triggered a 40 year judgment

When Jesus was asked about the end of the age, his reply was to consider the fig tree. Know when you see
the fig tree start to put forth its branches, then know that this Generation shall not pass away (elapse)
until all these things be fulfilled. Another criteria is also, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached
into all the world for a witness, then shall the end come. The latter can not preclude the former as the

date of Noah. Those day numbers are detailed in the chronology table, Chronology by Prophecy.
Note: NB! Calendar programs i.e.; Kalendis, et-al, & Fourmilab.ch have opted to present Gregorian years as being in negative terms with a year

Is Rudd Wrong about Exodus ?
The Balfour Century, TBC, view looks at the bible as but a love story of God seeking
reconciliation with His lost friend, Adam & his offspring. The information outside of a
redemption narrative, mans return back to God, is irrelative by this context. The 7000 years (6
work days and 1 rest day) of determined new creation time, starts from the fall of man and
ends with earths complete restoration. At which point death is swallowed in victory. This is
when Christ cast the source of mans fall, Satan and sin, into everlasting fire for all Eternity.
For the Anno Mundi, (AM), year of 4004BC, accepted by many Evangelicals, Y6k was reached
in 1997. Those who look outside a redemption narrative cannot reconcile their work with the 7
day re-creation idea. For this means earth is now in the millennial Sabbath rest. Such a rest is
not compatible with the wars & other grief seen today on a regular basis. Actually many have
recognized this flaw since around 1995 and suggested various alternatives.
For Jesus Baptism on 29Sept26AD, Y6k, Luke16:16, is 2026AD & Y6k with 3.5 year postponement
is 07Aug2023AD. TBC ethos looks at the start of the redemption era as dealing with fallen man.
Thus Adams sin is taken to have happened G29Sep3974BC (4k years before Christ Baptism).
This means Adam started his reign of sin & death at about age 27, for an AM of G4001BC. If
earlier creation dates of Adam are considered, then a corresponding increase in Adams age at
start of sin would follow. For any A.M. date one must consider age of accountability, that
Adams offspring must begin after original sin, for by one sin entered all.
The 7 days of determined time as viewed here, are the 7 days unto restoration from mans fall
by sin unto final redemption when Satan is Eternally bound and start of a new heaven and new
earth, 29Sep3026AD. For the record, the gapped creation theory seems more plausible. The
gapped creation is well explained by C Larkins charts.

Mass Extinction Event Escape?
A mass extinction event is foretold by scripture in the seven Bowls of Wrath. Prior
to this massive event are two other dreadful events; the seven trumpets and the
seven seals. Holy writ is explicit about a coming 7 year tribulation. This tribulation
begins with 7 seals being opened, followed by 7 trumpets and ending with 7 Bowls
of Wrath. None of these judgments are pleasant. Seal 4 results in death of or
25% of world population. This is roughly 2 billion people. Next follows the
Trumpet judgment. During trumpets a further 1/3 of all life becomes extinct. Last
are the Bowls or Grapes of wrath where every living thing in the sea dies. From
start to end more than of the initial human population of the world perishes,
and every living thing in the sea dies. There are other horrific events also suffered
by the global population, in short: A mass extinction event is shortly to come. It
was Jesus admonition for us to pray that we be counted worthy to escape all these
things. If that is not enough then during this last 7 years men choosing to follow
Jesus will be executed by a nut jobber known as the Anti-Christ. Also privations
and wars will become the rule, not the exception. Will you be worthy to escape
these events? Many will choose a life on the out where will be sorcerers, and the
whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving
and is doing a lie. But to as many as received Jesus, to them he gives the power to
become the children of God.
The following tables indicate these events could start as early as 2016 (or sooner)
and not later than early 2020. The only prep work that can save you is Jesus, all
other ground is sinking sand. Table Tribulation Start

Postponement means Daniels 70th week is completed after the millennial year reign. The end of the
70th week is to bring in everlasting righteousness and make an end of prophesy. At the end of the
millennial reign Satan is loosed and entices many of earths inhabitants against Jerusalem. All of which
must consume some of the 7,000 years of Covenant time. For just as God made the 1st creation in
seven days, also seven millennial days from fall of Adam, there are determined 7,000 years to make a
new heaven and new earth. The last Adam is Jesus who redeemed the old Adam unto life. By divine
design, Solomons Temple building completion was seven years.
The story of Jerichos fall also instructs us that 7 millennial days are determined for the destruction of
earth and making a new heaven and a new earth. For Jericho could represent sinful earth. Only those
inside the house marked by the blood red string were saved from destruction. The destruction of
Jericho came after 7 priests blowing 7 trumpets marched around the city 7 days. For each of the 1st 6
days, the 7 priests marched around the city once. But on the 7th day, the 7 priests with 7 trumpets
marched around the city 7 times. Upon each of the last 7 round the 7 trumpets were blown once, but
at end of the 7th march on the 7th day the final loud trumpet blast and great shout sealed the fate of
all but the blood redeemed. So began the entry to the promised land. The following two charts
indicate the beginning of the 7th day is close upon sinful earth. Are you sheltered in the redeemed
room? In 7 days all were gathered into the ark, then the doors closed & the floods destroyed that
age. You are called to enter before the door is closed, how shall you reply?

The work of Larkin (AD1916-1924) offers many useful insights about end time prophesy interpretation.
I expect a clearer understanding of End Times to unfold as the last days are closed, by Simpsons /=/
analogy. My revision would place the start at Adams fall BC3974 and End of Satan at AD3027. We are
past AD2000 but without Second Coming. So other revisions are needed, as follows.

My revisions to Larkins work would place the Second Coming at around AD2023.5 with tribulation start
around 2017. The start of the 4th day would be at 27AD with Jesus baptism at river Jordon. The rapture
and 3rd temple start are thusly placed sometime before the 2017 to 2020 window. As several prominent
evangelist and personalities have noted The warning is clear: prepare to meet thy God
A logical timeframe for the Elijah work is just prior to that great and terrible day. Scripture
declares that the 2 witness work within 3rd temple period (the great abomination) and during
the time of the beast mark. Another marker would be the 144,000 sealed witnesses.

Here is an evaluation of some GGCs showing
Spring Equinox dates near or on a new moon
conjunction of nearly same date.
The alignment of double conjunctions can be
seen to last about 6 cycles of 391 years.
Ridgeway showed the GGC to develop an
error of 1 day in 1738 year, or about 5 cycles.
From J. Geisen & use RMS average at 82%
Inex, on page2, expected stability is:
((0.18*1700*0.82*26680)^ = 2587 YR
or about 7 cycles. By the Eclipse patterns of
page1, a stability of 3900 years is indicated.
For example look at the 1681 series for +/-
one day alignment near the plus to minus
node. There one can count off about 12
cycles of 391 years each, or around 4700
years for near alignment.
If on the other hand the alignment is limited to +/- one-half a day, the cycle count is about 6
or 7 cycles or nearly 2300 years. The 19 year Metonic cycle can find additional GG cycles. In

Gregorian date and weekday. The 353 cycle (128930.6d) also finds same Gregorian date.

The above plot of Walker new moon date (recommended save as offline) shows increased error with increasing
time difference from present error . The NASA (Mr. Eclipse) data show slight variance to that of Kalendar and
Torah Times results. However all three NASA, Kalendis, and Torah Times show Walkers new moon date to be in
error for all but more recent dates. Since his date is easily corrected by a second order polynomial, it is
concluded that Walker neglected to utilize a delta T correction factor.

Considerations on Grattan Guinness Cycle, of 391Yrs by OP Armstrong 6.26/15

conjunction of Equinox and New Moon. In the 1st
instance, the Hermetic Systems & Kalendis
calendar programs were used to find some early
Equinox Solar Eclipses. These eclipses tend to
run in bands of various density. The Metonic
cycle starting in year (-3139) had several. From
there, steps of the Daniel Cycle were used to find
additional years, see Table & upper graph. At
each Daniel cycle start year the Metonic cycle
can be used to find additional alignments, chart
2. Alternatively, there are a series of equinox
Lunar Eclipse cycles when the moon moves
behind or in opposition, years: -3010, -2991 and
-2972. These may also be mapped by the Daniel
Cycle.
The Daniel cycle was discovered by Swiss
Astronomer Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux as the
difference between Daniels numbers of 2300
and 1260. The error in this cycle is about 1 day
in 15,000 years. It is seen in lower graph that
each series has a point of minimum error or
maximum alignment of New Moon with Spring
Equinox. Another accurate bible cycle is the
Dawson Cycle of 630773.3 days, an average of
2300 and 1260 years. The bible periods of 391
(GGC), 486, (706=391+1260/4), and 2520
years are other bible based solar lunar cycles
that may be used to predict alignments.

happened concurrently were -4054, -4016, -

are eclipses. The years of eclipses on equinox

Vernal/Spring equinox is by Table formula 4, JD#.Equinox the Lunation Number Epact is better than a Metonic Cycle.
The Catholic system calls the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after
spring equinox to be Easter Sunday. The full moon is about 14.75 days
after new moon. Thus 14.75 added to JD# of first March moon and it is
just simple counting to find Easter Sunday JD#. If the first March moon
JD# plus 14.75 is less than VE, then increment by (28.5 +14.75) days to
1st March moon and find next Sunday. All this is calculated by JD# and
the final JD# is converted to Gregorian calendar date, if needed.
Because the Catholic VE is artificially set to 21 March, then to get the
Gregorian Easter date, simply substitute JD# of 21March for year, Y.
This JD# is by Table Formula 7. The counting of week days from a JD#
is by Table formula 6.
The original 19 year Metonic cycle was eventually found to be deficient by
one day in 228 years. This secondary correction is still linear. 17

The above Table-A is a tabulation of calculation steps for finding Astronomical date of Easter. The
example calculations use formula-2 of Table-B to determine moment of January New Moon for
selected year, expressed as astronomical Julian Day number, JD#. Alternatively one could use
any number of resources to arrive at a value for column B. Just be sure to express the moment as
an Astronomical formatted Julian Day Number, JD#. Julian calendar or Gregorian calendar dates
may be verified by the day of week. The numbers in column F, JD#.Equinox, are for equinox
moment by formula 4 of Table B. The month number and day-of-month may be determined in a
spreadsheet by adding two more columns and using formula 8 and 9,Table B, given that Year, Yr,
is stated as input in column-A. Alternatively, the Easter JD# may be converted back to Gregorian

this method using formula 2 and 4 reproduced their result. Other checked instances returned
results that matched either the Catholic Easter dates or alternative astronomical calculation

Therefore, for Jerusalem the partial phase of the eclipse began
at 16:06 LT, mid-eclipse was at 17:27 LT, and the partial phase
ended at 18:48 LT. In the first century the vernal equinox was
on March 25, so this eclipse was just nine days after the vernal
equinox. At this equinox, moon rise would be at 6:00 PM, so
moon rise on April 3 would be delayed at most 2-3 minutes.
But ignore this factor, and assume that moon rise was at 18:00
LT. The eclipse had already passed its deepest point more than
a hour before the moon rose that night. 2

Chronology above shows by use of Calculated Hebrew Calendar, CHC, the end of the 150 day 5 month
period is a difference of 193 days from start. The end of Hebrew year 1416AM is at 385 days from start.
Thus is yet 192 days unto end of year 1416AM from end of 150 day 5 month period. Check: 385= 192+193. The
length of a CHC long leap year is 385 days. So by CHC in this flood year there is not a 360 day long year.
Another calendar alternative is to use the Leap Weeks. A reasonable drift is had by using 12 months, 30
days each, and 3 leap weeks per 4 years. Many other more accurate constructs with leap weeks have
been proposed. So having one 5 month span of 150 days does NOT prove nor make the year length to be
360 days. It just indicates a calendar construction framework. Ditto for any 360 day year calendars.
Gapping from a 360 day orbit to 365.2425 day long year is a physical impossibility. The total sun mass
available to burn is about 0.07% over an estimated 7 billion year sun life. Astronomers say this mass burn
will only change orbit time by day. There is not enough usable sun mass change to drop 5 days. 2

Lunar eclipses is even
more uncertain. For
there are some 2 to 4
times more lunar
97+% used eclipses than solar
97+% not used eclipses. Thus
correlation of any
sequence of Lunar
eclipses requires
much more data. But
sources are often
sparsely populated.

Eclipses & Calendars of Occidental Kings: by O. P. Armstrong, Dec., 2014 / 1-2015
This is a review of the Eclipse Calendar for Near East Kingdoms in cities
of ancient; Babylon, Jerusalem, and Pi-Ramses of Egypt. The locations of T1 Reference Locations
these cities, as refered to by this work, are listed in Table 1. city lat.n lon.e
The bible record shows there is not a single mention of an eclipse from Babylon 32.5 44.5
Genesis to Revelation. There are supernatural events reguarding the sun, Jerusalem 31.8 35.2
and none of these events, neither historical nor prophetic, are natural
Pi-Ramses 30.8 31.8
eclipses. The eclipse deficit indicates supernatural (above nature) works
by G_d. It also shows Bible Time is marked in; years, months, weeks, & days, not by eclipses.

Egypt and Jerusalem. This is about 1 total solar eclipse every 100 to 200 years. The most
common dates were start and end for the calamitous Hebrew month of Av. For partial solar
eclipses, the average is about one partial eclipse every 3 years. There are about 3 times more
lunar eclipses than solar eclipses. Solar eclipses are of short duration, less than 0.2 hours.
This then presents an entirely new criteria set. For what degree of partial eclipse would be
recorded in historical records? Another issue is how to validate such claimed dates? The ancient
records, when available, are typically set to a regal year of some potentate. However, there is
much uncertianty in reconcillation of such regal years to a modern calendar system. A further
uncertianity is introduced by variations in earth rotation, as acknowledged by any crediable
astronomer.
These issues are illustrated by the following two tables for eclipses over Egypt. Table A is a
recording of used Eclipses for dating an Egyptian Chronology. Table B is a summary of Total and
substiantial eclipses over Egypt. By that comparison it is determined that many substiantial
eclipses were skipped in the development of that chronology. If these skipped eclipses were
included, the result would be a much shorter chronology.

The 1990 Av1 eclipse preceded Gulf War 1, starting Av
24, 1990. The next three eclipses for month of Av fall in
sequence for 2016, 2017, and 2018. The lunar eclipses
with the Blood Moon are sometimes also taken as a bad
omen. The calculated start date for the tribulation falls
between 2016 and 2017. Could these be indicators of a
global misfortune during the time of tribulation? The
greatest quake know in USA was the New Madrid Quake,
does the X from 2017/2024 mark unprecedented misfortune for the USA?

The eclipse image files were
placed into a separate
document. The graphics files
used a lot of space. This made
the original document very
large to download. They may
be found by title: Eclipse-
Canon-of-Ancient-Near-East-
Kings. This Canon may be
accessed by the hyperlink.
This canon is not considered
complete. The completeness
level does allow one to
visualize issues of chronology
via eclipses. Solar partial
eclipses happen at about 2
every year. So the number of
eclipses to review for relevancy
is very large. For the mentioned
location & time frame, perhaps
there are a dozen total
eclipses. There were also
found over 60 significant
partials. From year 2000BC
forward the NASA work speeds
the review process. At right are
samples from the developed
Eclipse Graphics Canon.
The below appendix is given for
the reader to better see the
relevancy of this review.

This chart is included because some like to say earth is in the tribulation time now. But have of the worlds population died, or all the earth
moved, or 1/3 of all sea life gone? These tribulation events will be cataclysmic and better viewed as an observer from heaven than as a participant.

Appendix Balfour Century (1917-2017) Determined Times
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.

The phrase, Unto Messiah the Prince does not refer to Christ crucifixion, but His anointing and baptism. This was stated by Jesus in Luke
16:16 & Matt11:12-13, the law & prophets were until John, since then the Kingdom. A kingdom needs a king, & the angel said to Mary,
He shall sit upon the throne of his father David & of his kingdom there shall be no end (but it shall crush and consume all the earthly
kingdoms). Jesus himself said unto Pilate, of a truth you say I am a king, for this reason was I born but my kingdom is not of this world.
Every king needs a kingdom and kingdom was established by John at Jesus baptism in river Jordan, when the voice spoke from heaven,
This is my beloved Son. Claims of the kingdom starting at crucifixion are false. John was beheaded shortly after Jesus Baptism. The
words unto John ring hollow when there is no John. Jesus is the king of Judah. He was anointed by the Father at his baptism in river
Jordan by John. This compels us to find the date of that august day. No other date has so many markers; they are: the 6 earthly pontiffs
mentioned by Luke at Jesus baptism, the 40 year sign of Jonah for Jerusalem destruction August 10, 70AD, the years of Temple building
during Jesus ministry, the number of Passovers from baptism until crucify, the Jewish solar calendar and Jesus death before the Passover,
and the prophesy of Daniel. This consideration finds the most workable dates are April 7 30AD crucify & Baptized Sept26AD, rebuild
decree issued around 457BC, and Jesus birth year 5BC.

Equinox (interval 365.2422 days) by Solar Alignment Observation
God, through Moses, ordained the first month of the Jewish calendar year
to start in spring. Many writers consider the date of this first month start as
a great mystery.
The Hebrew word for 'month' and 'new moon' are interchangeable and
translated by context. Each new moon was to be celebrated by trumpets;
Nu10:10, Ps81:3, 2Ch2:4.
This was practiced from Moses, at least thru the time of Paul's epistles,
Col2:16. The ancient means to select when the 1st month of each new year
started has been avidly discussed by many writers.
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first
month of the year to you.... keep this ordinance in ITS SEASON from year
to year, Ex12:2,13:10 .
And Moses was learned in ALL the wisdom of the Egyptians... Acts 7:22
Indeed it is a mystery, if the ancients time keeping method of simple
alignment is not understood. Much ink has been used talking of the Barley

Marking Years by Astronomical Moments of Equinox and New Moon: The first new moon of each new
year is selected so the 14th day (full moon) must fall on or after the Spring Equinox. This causes the
lunar months to cycle in a progression of 400 Years of 12 lunar months to about 233 years of 13 lunar
months. By using observation, the years of 12 and 13 moons will be automatically selected from the
determination rule. Over increasing intervals (19,38,190,391) the average length of a year will trend
towards 365.2422 days. This is demonstrated by graph above. In whole days, average results are same.

The Solar Lunar cycles are times periods that give
repeating calendar cycles. The older cycles are the Saros,
(18 Year) and Metonic, 19Y. Some other whole year cycles
are Half Sar, 9Yr, Unidos, 65Y, 176Y, 298Y. Longer Cycles Without Equinox Sunset
are Trihex, 195Y, Hipparchus, 345Y, Gregorian1, 353Y,
Without Equinox Sunset
Gregoriana 372Y, Hexdodea 390Y, Grattan Guinness
391Y, Gregorian2, 725Y, 1042Y.Any multiple of smaller
cycles can be tried, like double basic 1042Y.
Meton's cycle of 19 years harmonizes the solar year (19 solar years)
with the lunar month (235 lunar months) with a remainder of about 2
hours and 3 minutes by which the solar year finishes earlier than the
lunar. Another cycle is 190 or 10 Metons.
M. de Cheseaux's cycle of 315 years harmonizes the solar and
lunar years within 3 hours and 24 minutes. The Metonic 19-year
cycle gets rid of most of it's remainder in a larger Biblical cycle of
2,300 years, Dan8:14.
Cheseaux's cycle, 315 years, is one quarter of a larger Biblical
cycle of 1,260 years (Dan. 8:12; 12:7; Rev. 12:6,14) which is ten
times more accurate than Meton's cycle. After 1260 years the sun
and moon return, within less than half a degree, to the same point
of the ecliptic precisely, and that within an hour of each other. If With Equinox Sunset Meridian Alignments
we subtract 1260 from 2300 we get 1040 which is the long-
awaited solar-lunar cycle that harmonizes all three W
measurements: the year, month and day "with an almost
imperceptible error" (Error is .11 of a day, Parker's Celestial
Cycles, p.22). In fact, this 1040 year "Daniel Cycle" reaches an
error of one day in 15,056 years. Every 687 years the sun and
the moon come back into the same relative positions to within 43 N
minutes. In 1906, Dr. W. Bell Dawson discovered that the
average of 2300 and 1260 lunar years, or 1780 lunar years, was
almost exactly equal to 1727 solar years, giving a cycle of even
higher accuracy than the 1040 "Daniel Cycle." The most accurate
anomalistic cycle (the time it takes for the moon to return to the
corresponding point on its elliptical orbit), viz. 1336, is the
difference between 1727 and 391. (see Soli-Lunar Cycles In
Greek Research and Jewish Revelation by Walter S. Ridgway, E 8
UBC, 1946).

Jesus as prophet like unto Moses: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
Introduction:
The bible shows in many places that Jesus was liken to Moses.
The following tables provide such comparisons of some points
whereby Jesus may be likened to Moses. It is also proposed
that there are comparisons to be made between the wives of
Moses and the spiritual elect of Christ. For Moses had two
wives, one of the Abrahamic covenant (the circumcision). The
other wife was from Cush or African ancestors who represent
the uncircumcised or gentile believers. So also has not Jesus
incorporated the two types as Gods elect from every nation
and every tongue?
One point of Jesus redemption work may be for saintly peoples
who passed outside of His death and resurrection. This complete
redemption of Godly humanity could be alluded to in Jesus first
miracle at Cana. There He changed six earthen pots of water into
wine. For as earth and water speak of the entire planet so may
the number 6 speak of the allotted time to natural or carnal or
fallen humanity. The change of water to wine in all six earthen
pots speaks of Jesus saving blood reaching out to all goodly
mankind throughout all determined time.
The apostle Peter stated that during Jesus death, before his resurrection, Christ
descended into Sheol as a sinful man. After God accepted Jesus perfect blood as the
covering for our sins, Jesus was made alive in Sheol and preached to the departed souls
held captive there. Those who accepted his Word and Work were raised with him.
Scripture tells that after Jesus resurrection, but before He ascended; many departed
saints were seen walking in Jerusalem.
As for the new covenant, unto as many as received Jesus atonement, to those it is
granted the power to be called the Sons of God and heirs together with Christ in his
kingdom.
Those of his first 4,000 year redemption work have ascended with Jesus when he took
captivity captive. They serve as a surety to we who await the end of his 2,000 year
work, that we also shall be raised incorruptible and blameless by his blessed Spirit.
See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on
earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose
voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the
earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are
being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we
may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.

Day of Lot & Day of Noah: by O. P. Armstrong, Sept. 2013
The end time type of Lot is considered here. It was Our Lord, Himself, who said we should consider this type for
insights about his return.
Lot & Noah And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: until
the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all, Likewise as it was also in the days
of Lot: but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them
all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his
goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him
not turn back. Remember Lot's wife
The important message here is that Judgment will not come until the righteous are preserved or removed. This
rapture or deliverance teaching by Jesus ties two likewise events together. These two likewise events are that
before Judgment comes there will be:
1. a time of great ungodliness shall be upon the earth
2. the godly shall be delivered out of temptation or tribulation or trouble
Before I realized what our Lord Jesus was teaching about here, I was an either-or on pretribulation or post
tribulation rapture. My take on these verses was focused on the first item, and item two was completely
overlooked. Admittedly the pretribulation arguments always seemed of greater weight than that of the post trib.
However, a pretribulation focus is clearly seen when one looks at the Old Testament references, below.
Noah

commanded him. .. And it came to pass after (the) seven days; the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the
six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all
the fountains of the great deep broken up , and the windows of heaven were opened.
What Jesus said about this event was there were 7 days of warning, yet the world was too occupied with their
doings to heed that final warning. But on the very last 7th day was the ark closed and the flood (read tribulation)
burst like water from a collapsed dam upon those outside the ark.
Lot
And while he lingered, the men (read angels) took hold of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two
daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city ... Hurry, escape
there. For I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar (little
strongs 6819). The sun (read: son) had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar. Then the Lord rained
brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens.
It is even more pungent here, the son of man shall arise with healing in his wings. Do you see what I see? The
angel raptures Lot, then tells Lot (veiled or covered Strong 3874) he cannot do anything until Lot is removed. The
Son of man is revealed the instant of the church rapture, he shall send forth his angels to gather his elect from the
four corners of the earth and once we are in the heavenly city then judgment comes. And from an earth
perspective heaven will still seem small. It is not until the millennial reign that heaven be seen. Even then, only
after the millennial reign it will be like a new heaven and a new earth. While we are earth bound, is it possible to
fully comprehend how large heaven is truly?

Part B Hastening that Day
In preface, the rapture represents a time of gloom for those left behind. It is best that none be left and everyone
be found in Christ. Sadly this will not happen. For there are those who willfully choose to reject Christ claim of
redemption by his blood and water.
At the head of that group, are those who defile themselves with un-natural affections. Why does scripture say un-
natural? The main reason is that procreation of human life depends on man and woman in a normal family
relationship. Without this society would have long ago dissolved. For example: a statistic fact is that the
population is roughly 50/50 male/female. If every female has zero offspring, it is crash and burn in the 1st
generation; if only 1 child per female, it is crash and burn in 7 generations; at 2 per female there would have only
been a small population. So it takes more than 2 offspring per average female for natural population growth.
The explosion of homo lifestyle is doomed from scratch and an affront to one of the 1st commands of God, be
fruitful and multiply. As one friend said, it seems society has been bombed with a homo bomb. But this is just the
final sign: lovers of themselves.
And the LORD said , Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous. I will
go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me;
Just how did this come to Gods attention? The answer is given here: and delivered righteous Lot, who was
oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his
righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds).
By scripture Lot was tormented by their wicked actions and cried unto God. This is indicated by Lot himself when
he told the homos to take his two virgin married daughters. Lots sons-in-law were queerer than a three dollar bill.
Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place;
for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. And when the morning
arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, who are here. Those
closet homos didnt fool the angels, for they did not mention his sons-in-law when it was time to depart.
Thus we see it was Lots cry unto God that prompted the dispatch of Angels to destroy of the men of Sodom, who
were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving
of his household. By which (action) he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is
according to faith. Again: (God) did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people. Noah as a
preacher of righteousness brought in the flood on the world of the ungodly. Thus was it not Noahs faith in action
that brought in the flood? So the flood was from God, but was it not the preaching (ark building) of Noah that
moved God?
And as it was in the
days of Noah, so it
will be also in the
days of the Son of
Man Likewise as
it was also in the
days of Lot Even
so will it be in the
day when the Son
of Man is revealed.
In finality, Jesus explains that doing our normal business as Christ Disciples we are his witness to this world. Then
two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will
be taken and the other left.

Scripture About Lot
And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere, before
the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as you go to
Zoar. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. And the LORD
said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now,
and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will
know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the
LORD. And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure
there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are
therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the
righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the
LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And
Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and
ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he
said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure
there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the
LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find
thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be
twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry,
and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's
sake. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto
his place. And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose
up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground; And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn
in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on
your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night. And he pressed upon them greatly; and
they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread,
and they did eat. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house
round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where
are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them. And Lot went out
at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold
now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to
them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my
roof. And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a
judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came
near to break the door. But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the
door. And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that
they wearied themselves to find the door. And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and
thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place: For we will destroy
this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to
destroy it. And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you
out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. And
when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which
are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand,
and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and
they brought him forth, and set him without the city. And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth
abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the
mountain, lest thou be consumed. And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD: Behold now, thy servant hath
found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my life;
and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die: Behold now, this city is near to flee unto,
and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live. And he said unto him,
See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the thing which thou hast
Page 3
Day of Lot & Day of Noah: by O. P. Armstrong, Sept. 2013
spoken. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be (come) thither. Therefore the name of the
city was called Zoar. The sun was (risen) upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Then the LORD rained upon
Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities, and all
the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from
behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood
before the LORD: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld,
and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the
cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he
overthrew the cities in (the) which Lot dwelt. And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain and his two
daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank,
they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and
destroyed them all. Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and
destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. In that day, he who is on the
housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is
in the field, let him not turn back. Remember Lot's wife
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into
chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight
people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of
Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who
afterward would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked
(for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing
their lawless deeds)-- then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust
under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of
dignitaries, where-as angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them
before the Lord. Luke 17: 26-32 Gen. 13:10, 13:13 18:20-33 19:1-30- 2Peter 2:4-11

Anchored in Hope: by O. P. Armstrong, December 2013
Consider the woman with issue of blood who was healed by only touching
the hem of Jesus garment. If there were ever a reason to lose hope she
would be it. For it is told she spent all her money on physicians but was
none the better. Yet her healing was a miracle of great faith. For as Jesus
was being thronged by the crowds he said, who touched me? To which
his disciples said what mean you?, for people were all about Him. We are
told Jesus perceived virtue had gone out of Him and healed this woman.
But she had said, if I but touch the hem of his garment, I shall be healed.
For her to do that she could have been cast away but the law of faith
proved superior to Moses Law.

child opened his eyes. And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he
called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. Then
she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her
son, and went out.

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.

Spirit World Principles: by O. P. Armstrong, December 2013
Man lives in at least three dimensions. The first is the physical dimension of length,
width, and height. Another is the time dimension. Last is the spiritual. God made man a
living spirit, after first making the natural world.
Just as a child must learn navigational methods of the natural world, so also are there
navigational methods of the spiritual world. All things were created by words, In the
beginning was the word and by him was not anything made that was made and by him
all things consist. Having a body gives one the right to operate or live in this natural
world. When the body is finished, people lose the right to operate in this physical world.
So we can say that navigation of the spiritual dimension is by faith words.
Jesus says whosoever shall say and believe shall have what so ever he says. Paul further
expounded that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow whether they be things of
this world or things of the spiritual world.
Paul mused over this point when he said, to be absent from the body is to be present
with the Lord. He was torn between his desire to be with Jesus and his desire to build
the church.
Many think angels must fly around on wings and only work when they are seen. Like an
iceberg, that is just the visible tip, much more is unseen. For illustration purposes it is
nice to have some visual aid. But Paul said we deal with spiritual words to describe
spiritual concepts. In fact the Greek word used for spirit is pneuma or air. Jesus said so
is everyone who is born of the spirit. In these matters, we can see the effect without
seeing the agent by which it is accomplished.
One translated verse that aroused my interest in this topic was: See to it, then, that no
one enslaves you by means of the worthless deceit of human wisdom, which comes
from the teachings handed down by human beings and from the ruling spirits of the
universe, and not from Christ.
A similar Old Testament verse is: He answered, 'I will go and be a deceiving spirit in the
mouths of all his prophets. 'ADONAI said, 'You will succeed in enticing him. Go, and do
it.'
Thus the work of many fallen angels is to influence our thoughts and words away from
truth. This begs the question, what is the correct truth? By scripture is found: For I
know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to
harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. The words of Jesus are truth and life.
The following table presents some bible examples of good and evil angels. The list is
not comprehensive.

A Detailed Explanation of The Balfour Century Timeline: by O. P. Armstrong, 2010 r09/14
The Balfour Century timeline is proposed based on Lord Balfours letter of 1917 to establish a Jewish
homeland in Palestine. For not since 70AD had any prince, power, nor potentate; decreed such a
sweeping edict. Just the opposite, for since the destruction of Jerusalem the idiom:
"The wild bird hath her nest, the fox his cave, Mankind a country, Israelbut the grave." Rang true.
But with the stroke of a pen in 1917, a national homeland for the Jew was established and ushered in
the Balfour Century. For Jesus said, when you see the fig tree put forth its leaves, then know that this
generation shall not pass away until all is fulfilled.
The length of a bible generation concerning judgment and redemption is 100 years. For we are told
Israel would be in oppression, four (4) generations but after four-hundred (400) years they would be
redeemed from bondage. This makes one generation equal to one-hundred years or a century. The
Balfour Century started 1917 and ends around 2017, with all things being fulfilled.
Six days of work are decreed but the 7th day is the day of rest. The determined time of Gods dealing
with mankind is Six days of One Thousand years each. On the 7th day a 1000 year rest is declared. The
1000 year day-of-rest or Sabbath may also be called a New Era millennium. During the Sabbath era,
men shall beat swords into plows and the lion shall rest with the lamb with peace as the supreme order
of the empire. After the 1000 years the dragon is loosed from the pit for (3.5 years of) confusion, to be
eternally bound and everlasting righteousness brought in.
All these days are detailed in the following timeline. It is based on a starting point of Jesus baptism at
age 30 in the year 27AD. Three thousand years forward from that is the end of all ages in 3027AD.
Then 4000 years prior to that is 3974BC for a total of 7,000 years. Based on this timeline, the age of
peace shall start in 2023AD. Prior to 2023AD is shown Tribulation, of 7 years length, starting around
2017.
These events also fit Daniels 69 and 70 weeks prophesy. For from the issuing of the decree to rebuild
the temple at Jerusalem will be Seventy Weeks to bring in everlasting righteousness. From the time of
the decree-to-rebuild until Messiah will be sixty-nine weeks. In the midst of the last week shall Messiah
be cut off but that not for himself. These events are shown in the Daniel timeline chart, based on
Jesus Baptism date of 27AD, 69 weeks of years from 457BC. The year 457BC was the decree of
Artaxerxes to restore Jerusalem.
Other events shown are listed in Table 1. Below is a quote from ABS, The Coming One 1912 NYC
The subjugation of Israel and the supremacy of the Gentile Powers did not come about in a moment of
time, but through forces slowly operating during many years. We may therefore expect that the end of
Gentile rule and the restoration of Israel will come about in the same way by gradual processes. We
may, therefore, expect to find several successive points of departure in our measurement and several
points of arrival corresponding. The whole process resembles a ribbon cut diagonally at both ends so
that a number of lines carried horizontally from any one end to the other would be of equal length, e.g.,
//. The earliest date of Gentile supremacy would be the era of Nabonassar, 747 B.C. & 2,520 years
from this date would bring us to the opening stages of the French Revolution, when the governments of
the world received their most terrific shock and the beginning of the end was distinctly foreshadowed.
The latest period from which the subjugation of Israel and the domination of the Gentiles (begins) is
587 B.C., the date of the fall of Jerusalem. Our measuring line from this point would bring us to the
year 1934, not now far distant. Between these two periods of about a century and a half God has
certainly been working with a mighty hand in bringing about the dissolution of the great world powers
which Daniel described and before it shall have expired may we not humbly expect some glorious
consummation? (Perhaps start of the Balfour Century?)
The six days of labor are broken down as follows: 2 days of Messianic or New Covenant Time starting
27AD, 2 days of Torah or Old Covenant Time starting 1974BC, 2 days of Darkness Time starting
3974BC.
Idioms giving these day types are discussed at length in this link.

A Detailed Explanation of The Balfour Century Timeline: by O. P. Armstrong, 2010 r09/14
It seems clear that mankind has 6,000 years of rule while under the influence of the devil; but how long
is the Church age supposed to last? How long until the Church takes over? And the LORD said unto
Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, (This is equivalent of 2 days; or
2,000 years! Here is a profile of 2,000 years for the age to follow!) and let them wash their clothes.
This is just one of many other cryptic prophecies concerning two prophetic days. The Lord prophesied
as follows, And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, (It is important to
understand that one pence was one days wages!) and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take
care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, (This is prophetic of His return.) I
will repay you. Here the Good Samaritan gave two days wages to the host. This is yet another
indication that the Lord will return after 2,000 years! Jesus met the woman at the well; notice what
follows, So when the Samaritans were come to him, they besought him that he would stay with them:
and he stayed there two days. Here we find Jesus after He left Israel, abiding two days with the
Samaritans. This two-day lodging is a prophetic period symbolic of a 2,000-year season! In this context,
the Samaritans (Those rejected by the Jews!) were symbolic of the church! Going back to Exodus 19,
lets notice what happens after two prophetic days, And be ready against the third day: for the third
day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai. How will the rapture take
place? Paul writes, Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: (in Greek, this specific word for air means from ground level to the
top of a mountain) and so shall we ever be with the Lord. At the very first Pentecost or 50 days after
the children of Israel left Egypt, they met at the foot of a mountain on the third day after they were
consecrated, and the Lord came down in the sight of the people after two days, be ready for the
third day: for on the third day the LORD will come down!
Concerning raising Lazareth from the dead, some see the 4000 bible years to Christ, typed in Lazarus
Resurrection narrative. If one accepts 6000 bible years of determined time, then the difference is 2000
bible years of New Testament time.
Now a certain [man] was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was
[that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother
Lazarus was sick.) Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you loves is sick.
When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he
was. Then after that said he to [his] disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. But if a man walks in the
night, he stumbles, because there is no light in him. Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead
nevertheless let us go to him... Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the grave
four days already Now Bethany was close to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: Jesus said
unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he
live: And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Believe you this?

Very few chronologists allow any time for the final Gog-Magog battle after the 1000 year reign of peace. In a miracle rivaling the Immaculate
Conception, the greatest battle of world history begins and ends in the blink of an eye (the short time). Please explain that to me? For that reason I
place the postponed time of Daniels 70 week prophecy after the millennium and before Satans banishment into the Lake of Fire. The scripture
references to the Antichrist are not in Daniel 9 but in Daniel 12. So if one takes 69/70 weeks complete, this leaves 7 years after the 1000 to end
prophesy. If 69.5 of 70 are complete, then remain 3.5 years after the 1000, to bring in everlasting righteousness.

From Jacob birth until Abraham death, there were years of peace.
The oppression term is taken to mean conflict & oppression after
Abes death until & into the return again. For Abraham had
established a peace treaty with Canaanites, Gen 20:14 to 22:19.
After Abraham death there was conflict over the water wells of
Beersheba Gen26:15-32. By 5th year of the 7 year conquest of
Canaan, it was clear who had the upper hand. During wilderness
time there were conflicts as some nations refused Israel passage or
other oppressions.
By one accounting, the birth of Isaac was 30Mar1893BC, Nissan 14/15
and the Exodus date would be 1463 Nissan 14/15. By the moths, the other
dates follow.
None of these ancient date can be as precise as many chronographers wish
to portray. As stated often, the most reliable dates are for Jesus Baptism
year and for the year of Temple destruction. Even for these dates, a
variation of up to one year can be easily shown.
To understand these timing then compare to more modern dates, such as
the Balfour Century concept. The Jew and Jerusalem are the divine time
piece.

Stephens stoning was the final rejection of Yshua by Yahudah. Yahs wrath at rejection of His Grand Passover started the
judgment clock. A similar act of disbelief some 1500 years earlier also triggered a 40 year judgment upon Yahudah. The
overspreading of abominations by the priesthood made the city and temple desolate. The certainty of Temple destruction date
is greater, than any other bible date, 5 to 10 August 70AD. The 15th year of Tiberius Caesar is noted as the year of Johns

This table list, events related to a time known as the Great Tribulation. This period is
also called the Time of Jacobs trouble. During this time over half of the worlds
population and all sea life die. (GoPg2)
By reference K, these events last must last at least 2300 days. Many of the events of this
table last for 1260 days. The 1260 days are also 42 prophetical months of 30 days. A
prophetical month is 30 days in length. Stacking any two 42 month events in series
gives a total time of 2520 days. This time frame is shown in the graph termed

Lebanon war.
A seven year tribulation time frame is typed in the building time for Solomons 1st
Temple. For the tribulation time is the time immediately prior to Jesus physical return
and setting up that Temple not made with human hands. Another type of this last days
seven year tribulation was given in the story of closing of Noahs ark. Seven days prior
to that cataclysmic flood, Noah was instructed to begin loading all animals into the Ark.

Jesus shall come to establish a new era of 1,000 years of peace. During that time the

days.
Two events in the above Table and the hypothetical Timeline have double references.
The events H & D, Sojourn of the woman in the wilderness and Woman's flight from
the serpent are considered as one event, of duration 1230 days. Also events A & B,
Accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people and Domination of the little
horn over the saints, are considered as one event lasting 1230 days. The possible total
time is for events A,B,C,D, at eighty four (84) prophetic months or 2520 days.
Just because events are listed as having the same duration, it does not require those
events to be the same occurrence. Neither is the tribulation of 2520 days from St.
Johns Revelation cross referenced to the 70th week of Daniel. Neither is any reference
of a seven year length peace accord found in scripture. The phrase seven years is
not in The Revelation; 7 year treaty is false doctrine & false flag.

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.

When Jesus was asked about the end of the age, his reply was to consider the fig tree. Know when you see
the fig tree start to put forth its branches, then know that this Generation shall not pass away (elapse) until
all these things be fulfilled. Another criteria is also, this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached into all the
world for a witness, then shall the end come. The latter can not preclude the former as the 144,000 shall
witness during tribulation time.
For the earth brings forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Life and times of Samuel and Saul
While I like to talk only of Samuel, the lives of these two are so intertwined it really not possible to mention Samuel without Saul.
The scripture does not directly mention the exact duration of either of their years. These details can only be hinted by looking at
references to other items.
Samuel is a great study in patience and the trials of perseverance many people face. Yet he comes thru without complaints nor
bitterness but endures to obtain a better resurrection and as a captain of faith. The book of Psalms recommends Samuel to be
emulated: "Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD,
and he answered them. Psalms 99:6"
First we find no mention of exactly when Sam began his work. But we know his mother offered him as a servant of God before
conception.
1Sam1:9&11So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a
post of the temple of the Lord. ... And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine
handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him
unto the Lord all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
Once he reached suitable age she presented him to Eli to be in service at Shiloh. This was likely between Eli 30th and 50th year.
For Eli is mentioned as the high priest of the Tabernacle.
Eli we know served that position for 40Y, from ages 30 to 70 years. We also know that Samuel was not promoted to service as
Tabernacle high priest but rather the corrupt sons of Eli assumed that position.
The times of Samuel are defined from after death of Eli & Sons until the rebellion to have a king
so Samuel life ends shortly after anointing David and Saul. Imagine this d
1Sam13:1 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
First we find a listing of Saul wife and early children at beginning of Saul kingship, just after his first victory as king: 'Now the sons
of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters were these ; the name of the firstborn
Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, ... 1Sam14:49-50
1Sam27:7 And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
1 Samuel 29:3 .. said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been
with me these days, or these years, ...
1Sam31:2,6 hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons...
Saul died, and his 3 sons.. that same day together.
2Sam2:10-11 Ish-bosheth Saul's son was 40Yo when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned 2Y. But the house of Judah
followed David. And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was 7Y and 6 months. 2Sam4:8 And they
brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine
enemy... (David 32Y as Esh-baal 42Yo)
1Chrn8:33 ... Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal (Eshbaal = "a man of Baal, the fourth son of
Saul, also called Ishbosheth) 10:14 And enquired not of the Lord : therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the
son of Jesse.

1Chrn13:3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it during the days of Saul.
2Sam5:4-5 David was 30Yo when he began to reign, and he reigned 40Y. In Hebron he reigned over Judah 7 years and 6 months:
and in Jerusalem he reigned 33 years over all Israel and Judah.
Time of the Ark from Eli death unto move in David 38Y was 20Y7M or Eli about 120Y
1Sam6:1 And the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
1Sam7:2,13-15 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the
time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord ... So the Philistines were subdued, .. the
hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were
restored to Israel, ... And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites. And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
1Sam14:3,18 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord's priest in Shiloh,
wearing an ephod... And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of
Israel. 1Sam14:19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went
on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.
2Sam6:3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah ( ):...
(To David in Jerusalem) 2Sam6:11 And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite 3 months: and the
Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.
1Chrn16:39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at
( )Gibeon ... 1Chrn21:29 For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt
offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon. 2Chrn1:4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to
the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
2Sam1:1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David
had abode two days in Ziklag; (10:) I took the crown that was upon his (Saul's) head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and
have brought them hither
Ps109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office
Gibeah may be a variation of the Hebrew word meaning hill, other names include Gibeah of God ( ) Gibeah of
Benjamin ( ) for it is in the territory of Benjamin and Gibeah of Saul ( ) where the biblical King Saul lived.

...the Saul son Kis out of tribe Benjamin years forty and deposing him He lifted to them the David into
king to whom also he witnesses .. (From Greek interlinear and strong's Greek words)
20Y ark less 7.5 = 13.5 ark years from death Eli unto David at Hebron when Saul die & Samuel die
about 2 year prior (for David was at Ziklag or in 11.5 year of Ark in David 28Y) So less 11.5 mean Ark
capture and Eli die in David 16.5 year. So David perhaps 18-20 when he fight Golaith.

Sam 8:1-22 In his old age (he is now over eighty years old), Samuel appoints his sons Joel and Abijah to be Judges
at Beersheba. But they are dishonest men, so the people gather at Ramah and plead with Samuel for a strong king like all the
other nations (1 Samuel 8:5) (see also Deuteronomy 17:14).
Samuel reluctant at first as he recalls the brief (and disastrous) reign of Israels first king Abimelech at Shechem in c.1170BC to
c.1168BC (see Judges 9:1-6) - begins his search for a suitable leader.
1 Sam 9:1-13 In the Spring, around 1012BC, Saul an impressive looking forty-year-old - goes in search of his father's donkeys,
from Gibeah (in Benjamin) to Shalishah, Shaalim and Zuph (see 1 on Map 54).
1 Sam 9:14-10:1 At Ramah, Saul and his fathers servant consult Samuel about the missing donkeys. Samuel immediately
recognises the young man as Gods appointed leader, and anoints Saul as King of Israel (see 2 on Map 54).
1 Sam 10:2-8 Samuel tells Saul to go to Rachel's tomb at Zelzah near Bethlehem (see Genesis 35:19) where two men will tell
him that the donkeys have been found (see 3 on Map 54).
1 Sam 10:9 As Saul turns to leave, he becomes a new person as the Spirit of God comes upon him in power (see 4on Map 54).
1 Sam 10:10-16 When he arrives home at Gibeah, Saul begins prophesying as he joins a group of prophets singing and
dancing (see 5 on Map 54).
1 Sam 10:17-27 Samuel calls the people together and publicly proclaims Saul king at Mizpah (see 6 on Map 54).
Saul meaning asked for' (by the people) was probably the name given to Saul at his coronation (in the same way as Prince Albert
of Great Britain took the coronation name George to become King George VI in December 1936). The Bible doesn't state Saul's
earlier name, but he may be the Labayu (the Great Lion of God) mentioned in the Amarna letters written by the Philistines and
other allies to the Egyptian Pharoah Akenaten.
1 Sam 11:1-7 A month later, King Nahash of Ammon beseiges Jabesh Gilead (see 7 on Map 54).
1 Sam 11:8-11 Saul rallies the Israelite forces at Bezek and defeats the Ammonites at Jabesh (see 8 on Map 54).
1 Sam 11:12-15 Saul is confirmed as king at Gilgal (see 9 on Map 54, Joshua 4:19 & the feature on Gilgal).
1 Sam 12:1-25 Samuel reminds the Israelites how God has blessed them when they have followed his commandments, but has
allowed disaster to fall when they deserted him.

Acts 13:21-22. Afterward they desired a king Being foolishly desirous of being like the neighbouring nations in that

years So Beza, Grotius, Limborch, and many other eminent critics. And when he had removed him In his righteous
displeasure, from reigning over Israel; he raised up unto them David Hence they might understand that the

2Sam1:1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David
had abode two days in Ziklag; (10:) I took the crown that was upon his (Saul's) head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and
have brought them hither
1 Samuel 31:2,6 hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's
sons... Saul died, and his 3 sons.. that same day together.
2Sam2:10-11 Ish-bosheth Saul's son was 40Yo when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned 2Y. But the house of Judah
followed David. And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was 7Y and 6 months. 2Sam4:8 And they
brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine
enemy... (David 32Y as Esh-baal 42Yo)
1Chrn8:33 ... Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal (Eshbaal = "a man of Baal, the fourth son of
Saul, also called Ishbosheth) 10:14 And enquired not of the Lord : therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the
son of Jesse.
2Sam5:4-5 David was 30Yo when he began to reign, and he reigned 40Y. In Hebron he reigned over Judah 7 years and 6 months:
and in Jerusalem he reigned 33 years over all Israel and Judah.
1Sam15:33-35 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And
Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal. Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of
Saul. And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: never the less Samuel mourned for Saul: and the Lord
repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
1Sam25:1 Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah.
And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.
1Sam25:38-43 Then it happened, after about ten days, that the LORD struck Nabal, and he died. So when David heard that
Nabal was dead, ...And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife... and she followed the messengers of David,
and became his wife. David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were his wives.
1Sam27:4 And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; so he sought him no more. 1Sam27:6-7 So Achish gave him Ziklag
that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. Now the time that David dwelt in the country of the
Philistines was one full year and four months.
1Sam31:2,6 hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons...
Saul died, and his 3 sons.. that same day together.
2Sam2:10-11 Ish-bosheth Saul's son was 40Yo when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned 2Y. But the house of Judah
followed David. And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was 7Y and 6 months. 2Sam4:8 And they
brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine
enemy... (David 32Y as Esh-baal 42Yo)
1Chrn8:33 ... Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal (Eshbaal = "a man of Baal, the fourth son of
Saul, also called Ishbosheth) 10:14 And enquired not of the Lord : therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the
son of Jesse.
A more definite corroboration of St. Pauls statement is given by Josephus (Ant. vi.14, 9), who states that he reigned eighteen
years before Samuels death and twenty-two after it. Bible hub, also Benson commentary on 13:21-22 see just a combined 40Y
And God gave them Saul Whose government, with that of Samuel the prophet, lasted for the space of forty years So

from reigning over Israel; he raised up unto them David Hence they might understand that the dispensations of God

As is common in rabbinical literature of the time, periods were rounded off to spiritually

significant timeframes, such as 40.
Perhaps, this 40-year period involving Shaul includes the period of decline in respectability in the
The true explanation of Paul's remark in Acts 13:21 seems to be, that towards the end of Samuel's career God gave them Saul,
and that Samuel and Saul's joint administration endured "by the space of forty years" - another "round number," like the four
hundred and fifty. Josephus says that Saul reigned 20 years - 18 years contemporary with Samuel, and two years after his death
(Ant. 6: 5, and 14: 9). Also that Samuel "governed and presided over the people alone, after the death of Eli the High Priest, 12
years" (ibid.). This makes 32 years from the death of Eli to the death of Saul (Ant. 6:1). Whiston's Josephus, by interpotating in
brackets ["and twenty"] in Ant. 6:14, 9, to make Saul's reign up to 40 years, to square with the popular misunderstanding of Acts
13:21, at once upsets the Bible history and Josephus' paraphrase thereof. http://www.christadelphia.org/books/chronikona.htm
It is quite evident, as Dr. Thomas argues, that a reign of 40 years is impossible for Saul; but, on the other hand, to assign to him a
reign of less than seven would seem to be an error in the other direction. It may be remarked here that in the difficult passage: 1
Sam. 13:1, the R.V. points in the margin to a certain rescension of the Septuagint which reads: "Saul was thirty years old when he
began to reign." He reigned two years and committed a trespass which caused him the loss of the kingdom. But he afterwards
reigned long enough to subdue all his enemies round about. "Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies
on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the Kings of Zobah, and against
the Philistines, and whithersoever he turned himself he vexed them. And he gathered an host and smote the Amalekites, and
delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them" (I Sam. 14:47). A period of less than five years would seem to be
inadequate for all this. Further, Islibosheth, Saul's son, was 40 years old at Saul's death (2 Sam. 2:10); and Jonathan's little son
was five years old at the same time (2 Sam. 4:4), which better accords with the longer reign of Saul. Josephus is manifestly
somewhere near the truth, even if he be not actually correct.
From this Samuel died 1Y 4or6m before Saul died. At Saul death, Ish-bosheth (Ishbosheth, Eshbaal) son of Saul was 40 and
David was 30. In David 38Y the Ark was moved from Gibeah to Jerusalem.
Time of the Ark from Eli death unto move in David 38Y was 20Y7M or Eli about 119Y
1Sam6:1 And the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
1Sam7:2,13-15 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the
time was long; for it was 20Y
David become king in ark's 12Y at Kirjath-jearim or 12Y after Eli death at 98 or in 110Y of Eli. Samuel die 2 Yr before Saul, based
on David time at Ziklag, this being in David 28Y, in Ark 10Y at Gibeath, from this Saul reign was only 10Y.
Samuel at 5Yo came to service of tabernacle in Eli 40Y. In round years, Samuel die in Eli 110Y, so Samuel was 75Yo. Since Saul
youngest son was 40Yo at death of Saul but must be under 20Yo at time of Saul Ascent as he not follow Saul to war. Perhaps
Saul was 20Yo to have his youngest, Saul die in his 50Y, Saul Ascend Throne in Eli 100Y at age 40.

-Star Gate 2024 Jerusalem O. P. Armstrong, June 2014
Introduction:
It is posited that a star-gate will be established
close to city Jerusalem near year 2024AD. The
portal for this star gate will likely be Ezekiels
Temple. The refurbished and expanded city of
Jerusalem in Israel will be capital of the world in
every aspect. This dimensional portal was seen by
Jacob when he dreamed of a stairway to heaven
with angels ascending and descending. In the
physical aspect, every nation that fails or fakes
annual homage to this star-gate in Israel shall suffer
depravation. The Lord Jesus will rule the nations
with a Rod of Iron from His Temple at Jerusalem.
Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves

Thinking of the Heavenly Jerusalem in physical terms may not even be the correct
consideration. Most assuredly the inhabitants will be clothed in spirit bodies, not
earthly bodies. Jesus said God is spirit in heaven they neither marry nor are given in
marriage, Paul said, that sown corruptible is raised in corruptible for the glory of flesh
and spirit are not same substance. The angels to whom Abraham offered food, ate only
by fire, not by mouth.
The earth is his foot stool and Jerusalem the city of the Great King. The temple of
Ezekiel could thus serve as the base of Jacobs ladder unto refurbished Jerusalem. This
stargate is scheduled for opening in year 2024, at the end of the tribulation period.

3. Jesus in Boat: Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the
boat was at the land where they were going. On the following day, when the
people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no
other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus
had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone
4. Jesus at Cliff: So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were
filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to
the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down
over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

perished, and is cut off from their mouth. Cut off your hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it
away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and
forsaken the generation of his wrath. For the children of Judah have done evil in my
sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by
my name, to pollute it. And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the
valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I
commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. Therefore, behold, the days
come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son
of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no
place. And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven and
for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. Then will I cause to cease
from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the
voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land
shall be desolate.

Jesus said, destroy this temple and in three days I shall raise it anew. The temple was the Christ himself. The
anointing at baptism in river Jordan marked the Kingdom era. The only recorded miracle performed before Christ
anointing was the miraculous conception. The work of messiah began only after baptism by water and Spirit. The
warning was: Be ready against that day, For on that day shall the Lord come down in the sight of all the people upon the top of the mountain?

The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
This is a brief to clarify an ambiguity presented previously under title; The Balfour
Century, (TBC), July 2012. In that title it was implied that four generations could be
equated to either 400 or 430 years. Addition study, since then, indicates the four
generations of Genesis 15 can only apply to the mentioned 400 year time span, or
100 years per generation. A recap of TBC is given in Appendix 1, below.
The 430 year time span, of Exodus 12, marks a retro time from the Exodus
backwards to, that very day. The 400 year time span starts with Abrahams
children (possibly after his death). It then ends after the descendents are no longer
travelers in a land that is not their own. This return is marked by Israel having
possession of Canaan. Such is consistent with the Judgment/Redemption
generation time span being 100 years, as indicated by the story of Noah.
Footnote 2 of TBC stated; The 400 year or 435 years is taken not of necessity of
total time in Egypt. The equating of 400 years to 4 generations is specifically
provided in the same bible passage. This equating is consistent with most other
reviews of Genesis, chapter 15, which place the four generations running co-
currently with the 400 year time span.
The TBC method of date numeration is thusly accomplished:
Seven Days, of 1000 years each, account for Determined Time of The Creators
dealings with fallen mankind. These days are numbered as: two (2) days of
darkness or promise, two days of old covenant time or confirmation, two days of
new covenant or Kingdom time, and one (1) day of rest or dominion time.
Demarcation of TBC time uses a start point of Jesus Baptism by John in river
Jordon at Jesus age of about 30 years. TBC takes the year of this event at 27AD
for a birth year of 4BC. The Law and Prophets were until John, since that time, the
Kingdom of God is preached. The year 27 AD corresponds, by some accounts, to
the 70 weeks of determined time, as given by Daniel, see Appendix 2.
Two thousand years prior to Johns Baptism is the start of the old covenant given
to Abraham when he was age 75. Two thousand years prior to Gen12:4, marks the
beginning of darkness when man fell from grace and a promise of redemption
given. Three thousand years after Johns Baptism of Jesus, marks the end of Sin
when the devil is eternally bound and time ends.
There is a simple way to see why the four hundred years and four generations of
Genesis 15 cannot be the same time span as 430 years to that very day. The 400
years must end with return into Canaan in the 4th generation, see appendix 5. This
return to Canaan is more than 40 years after the Exodus. The 430 years looks
backward from the day of Exodus. These arrangements are diagramed in the 3
charts of Appendix 3. Selection of Exodus year is arbitrary for the diagrams of
Page 1 of 32
The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
appendix 3. The starting date for these charts may be changed to fit any
reasonable sequence. The Balfour Century epochs are fixed to Jesus Baptism by
John. The baptism event is viewed to start a 2000 year epoch of the new covenant.
The baptism of Christ also marks the end of 2000 years of old covenant. The 2000
years of old covenant is separated from 2,000 years of Darkness Time with the
calling of Abraham at age 75, which allows dating of Israels entry into Egypt.
Table 1
Results for Possible Exodus Date & 1st Temple Completion date based on
Alternatives for 430 year start date and year of Jesus Birth by TBC Timeline
The time from Abes 75th year unto Israels entry into Egypt is established by
scripture. The Genesis account tells of: 1) Abrahams covenant calling at age 75
and death at age 175; 2) Abe at age 100 sired Isaac who died age 180 and; 3)
Isaac sired Jacob at age 60, Jacob enters Egypt at age 130 in 9th year after Joseph
appointment as Grand Master at age 30, & Jacob died age 147. When Jacob
arrived in Egypt, he was accompanied by 70 people including Levi and Kohath.
Isaac is not listed as entering Egypt. These are the fixed criteria given by Moses.
Appendix 4 shows how Israels year of entry into Egypt corresponds to the Exodus
year using the TBC method of Epochs. The results for the most likely parameters
are tabulated in Table 1, above, as extracted from Appendix 6.
Page 2 of 32
The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
The use of I-Kings 6 criteria for Solomons Temple completion, 487 years after
Exodus, allows a cross check for the calculated year of Exodus. References to
dating Solomons Temple are provided in Appendix 9. Babylonian history can date
the approximate year of the Temple destruction. Destruction matches well with
others review of Solomons temple era around 972BC.
Summary of Findings (See also Index):
The 400 year time span, encompassing 4 generations, was shown by the diagrams
of Appendix 3 to be a separate time span from the 430 year time span. This is
because the 400 year time span must end with Israels entry into Canaan. This entry
is more than 40 years after the Exodus. While the 430 year retro-time span starts at
Exodus, ending at Covenant Confirmation.
Both the 240 and 300 years in Egypt appear to fit and explain all necessary criteria.
Key criteria are: 1: Life spans of listed four generations must over lap within
specified 430 years; 2: The specified time span of 430 years starts the very day of
Exodus, Exod.12:40-41; 3: the 400 year time span must end on or after Israels entry
to Canaan.
The two different time spans, of 430 and 400 years, may be used to estimate a year
for Israels first Passover and the Exodus date using the method of TBC, Appendix4.
It is certain that the date for the start of Sabbath Years has been lost. This makes it
imprudent to use Jubile counts or year to pontificate eschatological events.
Appendix 7B & Table 2 do present some interesting coincidental dates.
The time period of Solomons Temple may be used as a marker to substantiate a
year range for the Exodus date, Table1.
There is not a common consensus among scholars and archeologists for the precise
year of the Exodus and associated events. However, TBC method of epochs and
Jesus birth & baptism year is one way to biblically set an improved range of years
for Israels Exodus date. This is because the consensus for the year of Jesus birth has
less variance that the estimated date for Solomons Temple. However the Exodus
dates thusly obtained are at variance with some pontificators.
The use of scriptural genealogical time spans, alone, does not provide enough data
to determine an accurate Exodus date. This fact has been well established to
provide ample fodder for vigorous debate amongst scholars. Thus it appears
prudent, to realize conclusions about faith may not always be validated by
prevailing historical understanding.

The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
"And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a
land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred
years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall
they come out with great substance. And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you
shall be buried in a good old age. But in the fourth generation they shall come
hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. Genesis, chapter 15:
Now, the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred
and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty
years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went
out from the land of Egypt. Exodus 12:40-41
So is given that a generation by one biblical account is around 100 years. The end
of the last Diaspora was initiated November 1917. The significance of the two facts
was told by Jesus in Mark 13:28-30:
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putts forth
leaves, you know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see
these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Truly I say unto
you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."
Notice Jesus did not say, 'when the fig tree is mature', but rather, 'when it starts to
grow or put fourth'. Indicating the clock starts counting from the moment the event
is initiated. Some eschatological counts start from 1948. However by 1948, the
Diaspora-end was well underway, with substantial immigration to the holy land by
1948. The immigration was substantial enough for formation of militant groups to
resist Crown administration of Jerusalem, prior to 1948.
Additional clarification was added by Jesus when he stated, "This generation shall
not pass away until all these things be completed". Possibly the generation to
which he referenced are those born since the end of the Diaspora starting in 1917.
If so, then, counting places the end of the church age somewhere between 2017
and 2024.5 A.D. Arrived at by counting the length of a Genesis generation and
adding those years to the date of Balfour's declaration. - return.P1 goP2 goP3 -

Many have advanced various theories or solutions to the twin periods of 'four hundred
years' and 'four hundred and thirty years', but when one considers these theories carefully
they do not completely satisfy the stated requirements. The verses which mention these
periods are as follows.
400 YEARS
Gen 15:13 Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers
in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred
years. :14 And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out
with great possessions."
Acts 7:6 But God spoke in this way: that his descendants would sojourn in a foreign land,
and that they would bring them into bondage and oppress them four hundred years.
7:'And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will judge', said God, 'and after that
they shall come out and serve Me in this place'.
430 YEARS
Exod 12:40 Now the sojourn of the children of Israel, who lived in Egypt, was four hundred
and thirty years.:41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years -
on that very same day - it came to pass that all the armies of the LORD went out from the
land of Egypt.
[ Literal = Exod 12:40 And dwelling of sons/builders of Israel, which dwelt in Egypt, thirty
year and four of hundreds year. :41 And is becoming from end of thirty year and four of
hundreds year and is becoming very of the day this they went forth all of hosts of Yahweh
from land of Egypt.]
The rendering 'sojourn' is questionable. The Hebrew word according to Strong's means
"a seat; figuratively, a site; abstractly, a session; by extension an abode (the place or
time); ..."

(My note: The confirmed before is taken to be the birth of Jacob. Jacob was chosen
(confirmed) by grace, for by birthright the privileges of covenant should have passed to
the 1st born, Esau. This is the election by grace. After this election was confirmed, all 12
sired offspring of Jacob were counted as heirs of the promise. Abraham & Isaac had many
children but each had only 1 heir to promise. But with Israel forward, all were counted as
heirs of the covenant)
450 years.
NIV Acts 13:16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said: "Men of Israel and you
Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! :17 The God of the people of Israel chose our
fathers; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt, with mighty power he led
them out of that country,:18 he endured their conduct for about forty years in the
desert,:19 he overthrew seven nations in Canaan and gave their land to his people as their
inheritance. :20 All this took about 450 years.:21 After this, God gave them judges until
the time of Samuel the prophet.
NKJV Acts 13:19 And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He
distributed their land to them by allotment. :20 After that He gave them judges for about
four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
The NIV rendering associates the 450 years with the period between Exodus and the
overthrow of the 7 nations. The NKJV rendering associates the 450 years with the period
between the overthrow of the 7 nations and the arrival of Samuel.
NIV - "About years four hundred and fifty. And after these He gave judges until Samuel
the prophet" return.P1 goP2 goP3
Page 22 of 32
The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
NKJV - "And after these about years four hundred and fifty He gave judges until Samuel
the prophet."
The text used by the NKJV mentions the 450 years following 'And after' so initially
indicating association with the judges period, but it also mentions the 450 years
immediately following the word 'these' and the word 'these' refers to the prior mentioned
events.
This NKJV received text does seem to carry a degree of ambiguity, which could have been
removed by a few extra words, e.g.
- And after these which took about years four hundred and fifty, He gave judges until
Samuel the prophet. Or - And after these, about years four hundred and fifty passed
during which he gave judges until Samuel the prophet.
It is interesting to note that the NKJV translation moves the word 'judges' forward in their
translation. The NKJV translation chooses to mention 'judges' prior to the mention of the
450 years. In doing they remove any ambiguity and depict only the latter meaning.
However, despite concerns over which received text is reliable and issues over translation,
God's intended meaning becomes quite clear when one considers 1Kings 6:1. 1Kings 6:1
states that a period of 480 years passed from the Exodus to the 4th year of Solomon.
Hence a period of 450 years from the defeat of the 7 nations to Samuel is clearly seen as
being far too long! To equate with the duration of the 1Kings 6:1 period, one would have
to add at least 47 years to the start (wilderness + defeat of 7 nations) and 20 + 40 + 40
years to the end (Samuel, Saul and David).So the 450 years would become at least 597
years and therefore be in excess of 117 years over the defined 1 Kings 6:1, 480 years.
So in conclusion the 450 years in Acts chapter 13 must be referring to the period between
the Exodus and the defeat of the 7 nations.
The NIV translation correctly identifies the events associated with 450 years and the KNJV
translation does not. Upon reflection the structure of the period of 450 years is suggested
to be: return.P1 goP2 goP3
Page 23 of 32
The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
In summary, the main points concerning the twin periods of 400 years and 430 years can
be listed as follows:
400 YEARS -
1) Encompasses sojourning and bondage (AND affliction, which stopped at the crossing
into the promised land or bring backor return.
2) Involves Abraham's descendants, Gen 15:13
3) Ends with the Exodus, (entry to their promised land) Acts 7:6-7 & 13:17-20
4) Begins with the choosing of the fathers! (Thy seed, or possibly Abes death)
(NB: The 400 year period initiates the longer 450 year period and since the 450 years
starts with the choosing of the fathers, then the choosing of the fathers must also be the
event which begins the 400 years.)
430 YEARS
1) Encompasses some time in Egypt
2) Ends with the Exodus, Exodus 12:40
3) Begins at Passover (at the same time of the year that Israel left Egypt,
Exod. 12:41 'that very same day')
4) Begins when the Abrahamic covenant was 'confirmed' Gal 3:17.(by Jacob birth)
If both the 400 and 430 year periods end at the Exodus, then apparently their starting
points are 30 years apart. Unfortunately, with this knowledge, determining the events
which initiate the 400 and 430 year periods is still difficult.
However, rather than at this point entering upon a lengthy analysis, for the sake of
brevity the starting points are simply stated.

This event was a type of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which also occurred at Passover.
Following the willingness of Abraham to offer his son God made the prior promises to
Abraham unconditional!
Gen 22:16 ... "By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing,
and have not withheld your son, your only son,:17 in blessing I will bless you, and in
multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand
which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their
enemies.:18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have
obeyed My voice."
Consider also; Exod 32:13,'You swore by Your own self'- Heb 6:13, because He could
swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself'.
[ NB: The circumcision covenant, which is described in chapter 17 of Genesis, did not
cause the promises to Abraham to be unconditional. ] Although not dated this event
would have occurred when Abraham was 130(160-30) years old! (Really? Looks like
guessing) Isaac about 30 years of age, an adult!!
The common, but ill-conceived, portrayal of the intended sacrifice
falsely views Isaac as a child.
SACRIFICE OF ISAAC COMMENTARY
I cannot concur this section: 1) Date guessing 2) Adulthood listed as
age 20 and up by Numbers 32:11-12 and thirdly the trial of Isaac was
only one part of the confirmation. Otherwise no need for election by
grace of Jacob over Esau later. 4) Moses said: to the very day no
guessing- this is only possible by using the stated ages for birth of
Jacob & Isaac. Possibly both 430 and 400 years reference same start

2) Not noticing that the length of the stay in Egypt could not have exceeded 350 years (80
yrs + 137 yrs + 133 yrs). Moses at the time of the Exodus was 80 years old. Exod 7:7 And
Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty three years old when they spoke to
Pharaoh.
The father of Moses was Amram, who lived 137 years. Exod 6:20 Now Amram took for
himself Jochebed, his father's sister, as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the
years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven.
The father of Amram was Kohath, who lived 133 years. Exod 6:18 And the sons of Kohath
were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were one
hundred and thirty-three.
Kohath had already been born when Jacob entered Egypt. Gen 46:8 now these were the
names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: ...:11 the sons of
Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
3) Placing too much emphasis upon the text of Exodus 12:40-41, without moderating it
with the teaching of Galatians 3:17. In Exodus 12:40 the 'who lived in Egypt' statement
should be considered a side comment and therefore not a clause which defined the period
of 430 years. In Exodus 12:40 there appears to be two further aspects which would initially
indicate a quite different timing.
1) 'Children of Israel' the word 'Israel' may be thought to refer to Jacob and this would
lead to views which would try to allow at least two children of Jacob to be born before the
430 years began. Such an approach runs into difficulty with the above maximum
allowance of 350 years in Egypt as Jacob entered Egypt being 130 years old and did not
have any children 80 years earlier, (i.e. before turning 50 years old). Therefore, rather than
being a reference to Jacob, 'Israel' in Exodus 12:40 has to be a reference to the spiritual
nation of Israel (i.e. sons/builders of the Promises).
2) 'Dwelling of the children of Israel' if this indicated a dwelling in one place, then that
would be in Egypt. However, once again the maximum time of 350 years in Egypt would
be a problem and not allow any interpretation which would desire a full 430 years in
Egypt. While at first not obvious quality translations show the word 'was' as in 'was four
hundred and thirty year' has been added. One may at first wonder why the Hebrew
sentence would not indicate the 'was' as the verse does require it. Looking back to the
Page 26 of 32
The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
Strong's meaning of the Hebrew word for 'dwelling' we can notice that in the definition, if
used in an abstract manner, it could indicate abode not in a place, but abode in time. This
seemingly would provide the necessary link to the 430 year time period without the need
for a 'was'. So the meaning would be 'abode in time ... 430 years'.
These elders, apart from Caleb, must have been less than twenty years old at the Exodus
or they would have perished in the wilderness with that unfaithful generation (Nu.14:22-
24, 29-33). They must also have been old enough to witness and appreciate God's great
works. We can therefore assume a minimum age for these later elders of, say, five years
at the Exodus (or even twelve years if they were to be held responsible for this witness).
Page 27 of 32
The Forth Generation Through Exodus: by O. P. Armstrong, June 2013
Thus, at the time Caleb received his inheritance, these elders would have been between
50 (or 57) and 64 years old. This puts an undefined yet sensible upper limit on the length of
their rule. There followed alternate periods of oppression by enemies and deliverance by
judges (2:14 -19).
All the Judges in this period up to Jephtha are given in consecutive order interspersed with
the oppressors - with the possible exception of the chapter following Deborah where
there is no linking after or then in the narrative (6:1). Thus, there is the possibility of an
overlap here. This has been incorporated in the chart so that the time following Deborah
and Barak's defeat of Sisera (Jabin's commander) in Ephraim when the land had rest
forty years (5:31), has been made concurrent with Gideon's forty years Judgeship of
Manasseh (8:28). This also requires that the 7 years oppression by Midian prior to Gideon's
deliverance must have occurred during the latter part of the 20 year oppression of Jabin
before Deborah and Barak's deliverance. This gives a 13 year space for Shamgar, who
followed Ehud, and was contemporary with Jael (who killed Sisera) while there was still
oppression in Ephraim (5:6-7) This compression leads to a 27 year period from the entry
into the land west of the Jordan to the falling away after the death of the last elder (who
could have lived to the age of 87 but no longer - except that Caleb would have been 108
had he survived that long).
These are sensible figures and allow for the full 80 years of Ehud's judgeship. This latter
figure has been questioned because of the need to compress the data in this 300 year
period (Whiston, in a footnote in his Josephus, suggests it should be eight years). There
is no justification for questioning the accuracy of the Biblical figure but there is the
possibility that the 80 year period can be interpreted differently - for example the time
from the entry to the land to Ehud's judgeship. There are other possible interpretations
which result in a range of values for the period to the first falling away of Israel after the
conquest.
The next period, 140 years from Jephtha to the fourth of Solomon, has to include the rest
of the judges, including Samuel, followed by the reigns of Saul, David and Solomon.
Based on Acts 13:20 (NIV), the chart puts Samuel's judgeship immediately after the last of
the judges - it appears that, apart from Eli, they were all consecutive following Jephtha.
Allowing for a 40 year reign for Saul, this results in a period of 25 years for Samuel's
judgeship, plus the number of years David and Solomon reigned concurrently. (1K.1).
Samuel also followed directly after Eli's 40 year judgeship, so Eli must have been
concurrent with other judges.

Passover Dates, Day of Week, for likely year of Crucifixion & possible baptism year Table2
Easter, but more surely, Passover is set by a lunar-solar calendar system. Passover is the
1st full moon after the Spring Equinox. Kepler established a periodic table of golden
numbers, which allows this event to be determined for any future or past date. Bible
scholars were surveyed and found to favor either 30 AD or 33 AD as the most likely year.
This is likely due to proximity to the 1st day of the week to fulfill Christs resurrection on a
Sunday, after three days. For 30AD Passover of 03-April, Jesus baptism year would be
around 27AD. For 33AD Passover of 01-April, Jesus baptism year would be around 30AD.
Both dates correlate well with the selected dates of Table 1 for birth year and baptism at
about age 30. return.P1 goP2 goP3

The above table gives no bible indication of 360 day long year upon Earth in times past.
Genesis 7.24 says waters prevailed upon earth 150 days and at end of 150 days the
waters abated, 8.3.
In reading 8:3b with 8:4a indicates end of abating process was 5 months from start.
From the start of prevailing until abate start could be 150 days. This 150/5 gives a thirty
day month. But there is no mention of year length in these verses.
For this selected flood year, the calculated Hebrew calendar (CHC) indicates 12 months,
for this Leap year, has 385 days. From the 2nd month to 7th month, 17th month days, the
CHC finds there are 29.4 d/mo.
Also there would be notable consequences by Newtonian Physics for earth solar year to
go from 360 days to 365.2422 days. One impact would be from angular velocity
momentum changes, akin to slamming car brakes. The second impact would be from a
heat balance. A longer year requires a greater distance between earth and sun. This
increased distance reduces radiant heat by the inverse square law. This means a cooler
earth, as seen on more distant planets. The physical record indicates no such changes,
unless by divine intervention. Such divine intervention is not recorded by scripture.

From here forward is reprint of Balfour Century Timeline Method to acquaint the reader of mentioned ideas.
The Balfour Century timeline is proposed based on Lord Balfours letter of 1917 to establish a Jewish homeland in
Palestine. For not since 70AD had any prince, power, nor potentate; decreed such a sweeping edict. Just the
opposite, for since the destruction of Jerusalem the idiom:
"The wild bird hath her nest, the fox his cave, Mankind a country, Israelbut the grave." Rang true.
But with the stroke of a pen in 1917, a national homeland for the Jew was established and ushered in the Balfour
Century. For Jesus said, when you see the fig tree put forth its leaves, then know that this generation shall not pass
away until all is fulfilled.
The length of a bible generation concerning judgment and redemption is 100 years. For we are told Israel would be
in oppression, four (4) generations but after four-hundred (400) years they would be redeemed from bondage. This
makes one generation equal to one-hundred years or a century. The Balfour Century started 1917 and ends
between 2017 and 2024 with all things being fulfilled.
Six days of work are decreed but the 7th day is the day of rest. The determined time of Gods dealing with fallen
mankind is Six days of One Thousand years each. On the 7th day a 1000 year rest is declared. The 1000 year day-of-
rest or Sabbath may also be called a New Age millennium. During the Sabbath era, men shall beat swords into plows
and the lion shall rest with the lamb with peace as the supreme order of the empire. After the 1000 years the
dragon is loosed from the pit for (3.5 years of) confusion, to be eternally bound and everlasting righteousness
brought in.
All these days are detailed in the following timeline. It is based on a starting point of Jesus baptism at age 30 in the
year 27AD. Three thousand years forward from that is the end of all ages in 3027AD. Then 4000 years prior to that is
3974BC for a total of 7,000 years. Based on this timeline, the age of peace shall start in 2023AD. Prior to 2023AD is
shown Tribulation, of 7 years length, starting around 2017.
These events also fit Daniels 69 and 70 weeks prophesy (Daniel 9.24:27). For from the issuing of the decree to
rebuild the temple at Jerusalem will be Seventy Weeks to bring in everlasting righteousness. From the time of the
decree-to-rebuild until Messiah will be sixty-nine weeks. In the middle of the last week shall Messiah be cut off but
that not for himself. These events are shown in the Daniel timeline chart, which affirms Jesus Baptism date of
27AD, 69 weeks of years from 457BC. The year 457BC was the decree of Artaxerxes to restore Jerusalem.
Other events shown are listed in Table 1. Below is a quote from ABS, The Coming One 1912 NYC
The subjugation of Israel and the supremacy of the Gentile Powers did not come about in a moment of time, but through
forces slowly operating during many years. We may therefore expect that the end of Gentile rule and the restoration of Israel
will come about in the same way by gradual processes. We may, therefore, expect to find several successive points of departure
in our measurement and several points of arrival corresponding. The whole process resembles a ribbon cut diagonally at both
ends so that a number of lines carried horizontally from any one end to the other would be of equal length, e.g., //. The
earliest date of Gentile supremacy would be the era of Nabonassar, 747 B.C. & 2,520 years from this date would bring us to the
opening stages of the French Revolution, when the governments of the world received their most terrific shock and the
beginning of the end was distinctly foreshadowed. The latest period from which the subjugation of Israel and the domination of
the Gentiles (begins) is 587 B.C., the date of the fall of Jerusalem. Our measuring line from this point would bring us to the year
1934, not now far distant. Between these two periods of about a century and a half God has certainly been working with a
mighty hand in bringing about the dissolution of the great world powers which Daniel described and before it shall have expired
may we not humbly expect some glorious consummation? (perhaps start of the Balfour Century?)
The six days of labor are broken down as follows: 2 days of Messianic or New Covenant Time starting 27AD, 2 days of
Torah or Old Covenant Time starting 1974BC, 2 days of Darkness Time starting 3974BC.
Idioms giving these day types are discussed at length in this link.
It seems clear that mankind has 6,000 years of rule while under the influence of the devil; but how long is the
Church age supposed to last? How long until the Church takes over? And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the
people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, (This is equivalent of 2 days; or 2,000 years! Here is a profile of
2,000 years for the age to follow!) and let them wash their clothes (Ex 19:10). This is just one of many other
cryptic prophecies concerning two prophetic days. The Lord prophesied as follows, And on the morrow when he
departed, he took out two pence, (It is important to understand that one pence was one days wages!) and gave
Page 4
As in the Days of Noah: by O. P. Armstrong, Sept 2013
them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever you spend more, when I come again, (This
is prophetic of His return.) I will repay you (Luke 10:35). Here the Good Samaritan gave two days wages to the
host. This is yet another indication that the Lord will return after 2,000 years! Jesus met the woman at the well;
notice what follows, So when the Samaritans were come to him, they besought him that he would stay with
them: and he stayed there two days (John 4:40). Here we find Jesus after He left Israel, abiding two days with the
Samaritans. This two-day lodging is a prophetic period symbolic of a 2,000-year season! In this context, the
Samaritans (Those rejected by the Jews!) were symbolic of the church! Going back to Exodus 19, lets notice what
happens after two prophetic days, And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down
in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai (Ex 19:11). How will the rapture take place? Paul writes, Then we
which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: (in
Greek, this specific word for air means from ground level to the top of a mountain) and so shall we ever be with
the Lord (1 Thess 4:17). At the very first Pentecost or 50 days after the children of Israel left Egypt, they met at
the foot of a mountain on the third day after they were consecrated, and the Lord came down in the sight of the
people after two days, be ready for the third day: for on the third day the LORD will come down (Ex 19:11)!
Concerning raising Lazareth from the dead, some see the 4000 bible years to Christ, typed in Lazarus Resurrection
narrative. If one accepts 6000 bible years of determined time, then the difference is 2000 bible years of New
Testament time.
Now a certain [man] was sick, Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. (It was [that] Mary
which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom you loves is sick. When he had heard
therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that said he to [his]
disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. But if a man walks in the night, he stumbles, because there is no light in
him. Then said Jesus to them plainly, Lazarus is dead nevertheless let us go to him... Then when Jesus came,
he found that he had [lain] in the grave four days already Now Bethany was close to Jerusalem, about fifteen
furlongs off: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead,

Table3
As seen here there is a maximum of 20.6 years missing. In Table 2 it was found necessary to add 19.8 year(items 20&24)
to match the 430 year prophesy of Ezekiel 4. This table substantiates that addition of about 19.8 years. It is thought
most overlook these years as they want fit Judean Kings into a total 390 year time gap. Ignoring the continuity of Ezekiel
prophesies is not correct.

people prepared for the Lord."

The second time the spirit and power of Elijah comes is to utterly smite the land. This is
seen in Youngs literal translation: Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, before the
coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful. And he hath turned back the
heart of fathers to sons, and the heart of sons to their fathers, before I come and have
utterly smitten the land! Jesus discussion after his transfiguration has no denial the
Elijah would come again. Jesus said both, 1) Elijah had come and 2) denied not he would
come. Also shown in above table is that in all synoptic gospels, Johns death preceded
Elijah & Moses appearance with Jesus on Mount Transfiguration. This signified John
was that prophet to turn the childrens hearts to the fathers way. Malachi simply states
that the second coming of the Elijah spirit or perhaps the prophet himself will be as a
lion to smite the earth. A reason for the two witness of Revelation to be Enoch and
Elijah is so they can experience earthly death. For it is appointed once for man to die.
Both Enoch and Elijah were translated or raptured. A problem in that logic is, how shall
the death requirement be fulfilled for raptured believers? In the twinkle of an eye we
shall be changed. Shall that change include death and resurrection in an instant?
The 3 days in Revelation is a type of the Elijah. Only Jesus and James explicitly specify
the time of drought under Elijah was 3 years. The O.T. text states just, in the third
year. In all scripture, only the Elijah story uses the 3 years. This suggest by the Year-
Day concept, a total tribulation time of two sums, 1260 days (under the 2 witness) plus
3year 6months (after the 2 witness) or 7 prophetic year in total.

The Biblical 7Days of Creation teaches us that God shall complete all his work with fallen mankind and make
a new creation in seven days of 1,000 years each. And I saw a New heaven and a New Earth spake John
in his Revelation. A combination of this and Usshers work, gives Adams age to begin his sin ministry to be
about 30 years. (4004BC - 3974BC = 30), or by this work 26.5 years old, (4026.5-4000).

Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
Many teachings about the Kingdom of God were stated in parable by Jesus.

highest place. Our lot is cast in the times of great enterprise and importance.
We are on the threshold of the coming kingdom. We are in the midst of a
mighty competition. Prophets and martyrs are already waiting for their
appointments. Busy and earnest lives today are sweeping on in the power of the
Holy Ghost. Beloved, do not let us be left behind. May God arouse us from
lethargy, apathy and petty goals. We have a glorious crown to win. We have a
living age in which to win it. We have one short life to gain our future rewards.
This will be our joy and crown of rejoicing in the presence of Christ at His
coming. That we are laying up our treasures over yonder and life is being
invested in the glorious possibilities and prospects of the ages to come and the
kingdom which shall never pass away. Let us then be "steadfast, immovable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord," for "we know that our labor is not in
vain in the Lord.'
When the Lord Jesus appeared we find Him at once facing
the "Sabbath question, and we notice two distinct
attitudes which He takes from the beginning. The first is a
positive recognition of the Sabbath as one of the
institutions which He assumed and incorporated into His
kingdom and took under His direction and authority. "The
Son of man," He says, "is Lord also of the Sabbath."
Mark2.28. In the Lord's day parallel passage in Matthew
12:1-8, He assumes still more authoritative direction of
this day; and, after citing several Old Testament precedents for a proper
freedom in the observance of the day, as, for example, in the case of David and
the priests themselves, who were obliged to minister in the many manual
services. He then adds the strong expression of His authority to deal with the
Sabbath supremely: "But I say unto you that in this place is one greater than
the temple, for the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day." The Lord
Jesus Christ thus distinctly recognizes the Sabbath, but, on the other hand. He
as distinctly set His face against the severe Jewish conception of it, and from
the very beginning insisted upon the new construction of its meaning and a new
charter of liberty and beneficence in its observance. He openly defied the
prejudices of the people by walking through the cornfields on the Sabbath day
and allowing His disciples to pluck the ears of corn. He healed the man with the
withered hand when He knew they were waiting to watch Him and condemn
Him for it.

and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,
having forgiven you all trespasses" (Col.2:13). Dead in sin once, they had
become dead to sin now through the cross of Jesus Christ. Crucified with Him
they had come forth to resurrection life. They were raised with Christ, and he
could say of them, "Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God."
In speaking of the true seed of the kingdom Christ says the good seed are "the
children of the kingdom." And so again He says, "Ye are the light of the world."
It is not what we say, but what we are and what Christ is within us that
constitutes the strength of our testimony and the power of our life. It is the life
of Christ within shining through the broken vessel in a suffering saint, a feeble
instrumentality that most honors God and most effectively works for His
kingdom and glory.
David, in his exile years, was surrounded by the outlaws
and outcasts of Israel, but through the power of his own
personality and the grace of God that was with him, these
men became transformed into his noblest followers and
friends, and afterward were made the very princes of His
kingdom. So the Lord Jesus Christ takes us, a company of
poor, worthless sinners and things that are despised, and,
by the transforming power of His grace, He lifts us into
His own likeness, and crowns us with His own glory. And
so, as we are thrown into the society of evil men, be it ours
to lift and ennoble them, and instead of letting them draw us down let us lift
them up to the mounts of blessing, where God has set us, in order that we may
be the lights of a dark world and shine the brighter through the very darkness
that surrounds us.
But the redeemer not only sacrificed his own inheritance, but also brought back
the forfeited inheritance of the dead husband; and so our precious God has
brought back for us all that we lost in Adam, and added to it infinitely more --
all the fullness of His grace, all the riches of His glory, all that the ages to come
are yet to unfold in His mighty plan, victory over death, the restoration of the
divine image, sonship with God, triumph over Satan, a world restored to more
than Eden blessedness and beauty, the crowns and thrones of the coming
kingdom, and all the exceeding riches of His grace and kindness toward us
which in the ages to come He to show.
All this and more is the purchase of His redemption, "In whom the tribes of
Adam boast more blessings than their father lost."
Page 6 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
But the best of all the blessings brought by the Kinsman Redeemer is Himself.
Not only does He redeem the inheritance, but He purchases the bride and He
becomes her Bridegroom.
When Boaz bought the inheritance of Elimelech he took
Ruth also in and she became his bride. And so our blessed
Kinsman Redeemer is also our Husband. Not only does He
come down into our nature in the incarnation, but He takes
us up into His person in that wondrous betrothal which is to
reach its consummation in the Marriage of the Lamb.
Finally, the fruit of the union was the dynasty of David and
the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of man, the King of kings,
and Lord of lords. Ruth's faith brought her into a family of
princes and a kingdom of glory. And so for us, too,
redemption means a crown and a throne at the Master's glorious coming. But
back of the throne and the crown lays the love story of redemption and the bold
appropriation of faith. We must learn to know the Bridegroom now if we would
sit with Him upon His throne then and share the glory of His millennial reign.
Oh! shall we take Him as our Redeemer, our Husband, and our coming Lord,
and have Him say to us, "Thy Maker is thy Husband and thy Redeemer the
Holy One of Israel, the God of the whole earth shall He be called."
In speaking of the true seed of the kingdom Christ says the good seed are "the
children of the kingdom." And so again He says, "Ye are the light of the world."
It is not what we say, but what we are and what Christ is within us that
constitutes the strength of our testimony and the power of our life. It is the life
of Christ within shining through the broken vessel in a suffering saint, a feeble
instrumentality that most honors God and most effectively works for His
kingdom and glory.
The first is the story of the creation. Recognizing, of course, the literal and
historical reality of the record, we have the authority of the scriptures
themselves to regard it as the figure of the new creation, which the Divine
Spirit is working out in the hearts of God's people, and ultimately will
consummate in the Kingdom of Glory. For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should
walk in them. If any man be in Christ Jesus he is a new creation; old things
have passed away, behold all things have become new. The first chapter of
Genesis is repeated in the twenty-first chapter of Revelation, And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth were passed
away. Underlying the whole record of the first creation we can trace the story
Page 7 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
of grace in figure and spiritual foreshadowing. Like that ancient process, the
new creation begins in wreck and chaos -- a wreck, like that of primeval order.
The new creation like the old emerges from a scene of darkness and desolation.
Every new stage begins in comparative evening and ends in a clear morning,
and it is as true now as in the creation days, It was evening and it was
morning, one day. So the transformation is going forward in every Christian
heart, and the path of the just is like the shining light, which shines more and
more unto the perfect day. So too, the kingdom of God is going forward through
the ages of time, and by and by it will be evening and morning, one eternal
day. And he that sits on the throne will say, behold I make all things new.
Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, who brings out of
his treasure things new and old. Have we received not only the truth, but the
spirit which is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given us of
God? We are in the Palace Beautiful; the Interpreter leads us, and as he shows
us all its treasures, he stops and adds, These things are all your own. Have
we received them? -- the new creation, the bridegroom's love, the rest of God,
the flowers and fruits of His spiritual husbandry, and the life of Christ to be
made manifest even in our mortal flesh? Then, indeed, for us is it true even
now, He that sits upon the throne says, behold I make all things new. And he
said it is done; I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of
life freely. He that overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and
he will be my son.
God's fourfold picture of His Son. One by one are we,
also following in sublime procession and entering
into the spirit of the new man, and the Son of Man,
the kingliness of His Sonship, the strength and
patience of His crucified and risen life, and the
intimacy and exaltation of His ascension and
heavenly fellowship; and bye and bye we shall stand
with Him in all the glory of His mediatorial throne,
and shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of our Father. This was the ideal of
redeemed humanity which God placed as a group of heavenly statuary, as a
pledge of our future destiny, as the goal of our highest aspirations, at the very
threshold of man's lost inheritance, and in the very hour of man's deepest fall
and darkest gloom. So ever, when things seem the saddest and even our fears
have almost overwhelmed us, the same unconquerable love meets our
helplessness, lifts up our sinking weakness, and points our languishing eye
forward and upward to the prize set before us, and purchased for us by the
Page 8 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
glorious Captain of our salvation. Let us rise to meet His marvelous love. Let us
realize these infinite and eternal possibilities. Let us claim these divine
resources and promises, and, from the gates of Paradise lost, begin the pathway
which leads by the way of the cherubim to the closing pictures of Revelation,
and the open gates of Paradise restored.
There is another miracle and mystery of grace, which was also foreshadowed by
the birth of Isaac -- that is, the new birth of all the spiritual seed of Abraham.
Just as truly as Isaac was born of the Spirit, and Jesus became incarnate
through the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, so "except a man be born of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God." This is not a natural
reformation, not the result of human energy or will, but the work of the
Almighty Spirit; beyond the power of nature and after it has failed. "As many
as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God: which were
born not of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Have we experienced
this mighty new creation? Blessed be God, it is for us as well as Abraham.
This is not to be despised; this is not depreciated even in the Scriptures, but it
cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The word "natural" in the Epistles is
literally "psychical," the man of soul rather than the spiritual man. This is the
nature which all the sons of Adam inherit, and which sin has tainted and
overshadowed with the curse.
The fact that Isaac had but one bride in an age of polygamy was a marked type
of his illustrious Antitype, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is gathering to Himself
His one spiritual and beloved partner in the fellowship of His glory and His
kingdom. Isaac's bride was chosen by the most deliberate counsel and care from
his own kindred in distant Mesopotamia; so God is calling out of this remote
world a people for his Son, and a race who are linked with Him by the kindred
ties of His own blood.
"I know that in nothing I shall be ashamed;" "The Lord shall deliver me from
every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom ---"; I know
whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I
have committed unto Him against that day." So also he says to Timothy:
"According to the prophecies which went before on thee, that by them thou
mightiest war a good warfare." It was for the joy set before Him that our
Master endured the cross and despised the shame, and we, too, shall overcome
as we steadily hold in view our high calling and our immortal crown.
And so it shall be during the days of tribulation that Christ's brethren after the
flesh, the Jews shall recognize Him, repent of their sins, and be restored to His
friendship and blessing, and afterwards share with Him in their own separate
Page 9 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
national life, as in Egypt of old, the blessing of His millennial kingdom. This is
to be one of the crowning glories of the once rejected Nazarene that "they shall
look upon Him they have pierced, and shall mourn," and shall be reconciled to
the Messiah that they delivered to the Gentiles, and that God has made such a
blessing to the Gentiles, as He made Joseph of old.
A selfish Christian is as inconsistent and impossible as a selfish Christ. We,
too, are come to our kingdom for such a time as this. Years of famine are
coming to the souls around us; in a little while they shall be perishing for
eternal bread; they need our prayers, our help; and even although they may not
know it now as we do, yet the day is coming when they shall reap the blessings
of our faith and our foresight. Let us be true to our trust, and thus worthy to
stand with Joseph and his greater Master, as the dispensers of God's blessings
to a dying world.
The Great Deliverer has come to bind up the brokenhearted; to preach
deliverance to the captives; to set at liberty them that are oppressed; to deliver
us from the power of darkness and translate us into the kingdom of His dear
Son. Only let us recognize our true condition; let us take His side against our
oppressor; let us not, like them, refuse Moses when he comes to set us free; let
us lift up our cry to heaven, and the answer is already spoken. "Behold the cry
of the children of Israel is come unto me, and I have seen the oppression
wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
And this word, Yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are
shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken
may remain. Wherefore we, receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us
have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly
fear: For our God is a consuming fire." To these beautiful words Let us add, "see
that you refuse not Him that speaks;" this mighty salvation, this mighty
indwelling, in working Christ; but receiving a kingdom that cannot be moved, a
kingdom of grace and of power, let us have grace, not our own efforts, our own
desperate struggles, but the grace whereby we may be enabled to serve God
acceptably, with reverence and godly fear. He does not say, "let us try our best,"
but let us have the grace of God to do it; and it will keep us, and enable us to so
appropriate His holiness and love, that those words will not affright us, "our
God is a consuming fire."
"Your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things? Seek you
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you."

He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being
seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom
of God.** Acts 1:3
And look at his interview with Simon Peter! What backslider
need ever doubt again the Saviors forgiving love, or fear to
come and know that he will be welcomed to a nearer place in
His heart and a higher service in His kingdom if only he can
say as Simon said, '' Thou knows all things, Thou knows that I
love Thee. Yes, there is not anything on earth, animate or
inanimate, but is going to be benefited by the
spreading of the Gospel and the coming of the
kingdom of Christ. That is what He means. The whole material
universe is to be made free through its uplifting power.

1. We must be struck, first of all, with the boldness and majesty of this
command. He did not send them now simply to individuals, but to nations. He
looked upon the mighty communities of earth as not too great for the conquest
of His kingdom, and the mission of His followers to win.
Forty Days were passed, and they were likely marked by many interviews, as
He taught them of the things concerning the Kingdom of God with a fullness of
which John says, If they should be every one written, I suppose that even the
world itself could not contain the books that should be written."
''Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? His answer is
a very faithful and yet tender one. He does not rebuke them or even intimate
that their desire is wholly without foundation in the purpose of God. He does
not deny that He will restore the kingdom to Israel, but He simply tells them
away from this expectation to their proper and present work, and gently
reminds them with a shade of reproof ''that the times and seasons are not for
them at all, but reserved by the Father in His own power.
And so the whole story of the planting of the church in Jerusalem was the story
of the power of the Holy Ghost, and the testimony of Jesus through the lips of
weak and humble instruments. The same power is still ready to crown our
labors with success and establish Christ's kingdom in our midst.
In the fifth chapter we behold Him as the Priest-King, the Lion and the Lamb
together, combining almightiness and mercy, as He takes the book to open the
seals, and administer the mediatorial kingdom. And in the nineteenth chapter
we behold Him in His royal majesty about to leave the heavenly throne and
assume His millennial kingdom on earth. Such are some of the scattered.
There is no natural law but is now perfectly subject to His control. There is no
physical force but He can use or restrain at His Sovereign pleasure. There is no
created intelligence but He can move at His will or destroy at His command.
His ascension has forever challenged the absolute despotism of natural law and
physical force and placed at the command of faith the highest force, which will
be employed whenever His kingdom requires it, in defiance of every natural
and ordinary principle.
True, He does not ordinarily need to act in a manner contrary to existing laws
and principles, any more than the entry of the young king of Germany upon the
administration of the empire requires him to change the machinery of the
government. He usually works in a line with it, but is always supreme above it.
So the Son of God, sitting upon the throne of providence and grace, does not
constantly assert His power by coming into collision with the existing
Page 13 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
machinery of the natural world, but works in harmony with it and uses it for
His own higher purpose.
But He is perfectly at liberty to suspend it and contradict it when He so
pleases. The ascension of Christ, therefore, has given us the right to expect His
interposition, even to the utmost extent of the miraculous and supernatural,
where the interests of His kingdom truly requires it ; and yet His power may be
no less mighty when it is working along lines of perfect simplicity and
naturalness.
Christ is King of nations. Strange as it may seem, yet He
has been controlling for eighteen centuries the dynasties
and kingdoms of earth in accordance with Daniels prophecy,
and along the lines which are to develop to His own Second
Coming. He is King and Head of His Church. Christ is King
of nature and providence. His hand makes all things work
together for good to them that love God. His power appears
in every chapter of the story of the Apostolic Church.
The Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve
me unto His heavenly kingdom." Is He our King? Have we
enthroned Him above every difficulty, adversary and circumstances, and placed
on His head many crowns? It was for this that He ascended. He holds the reins
of universal power for our sake and on our account. He is Head over all things
for the church which is His body.
At last He said to me -Oh so tenderly- My child, just take Me, and let Me be in
you the constant supply of all this, Myself. And when at last I got my eyes off
my sanctification, and my experience of it, and just placed them on the Christ
in me, I found, instead of an experience, the Christ larger than the moments
need, the Christ that had all that I should ever need who was given to me at
once, and forever! And when I thus saw Him, it was such rest; it was all right,
and right for ever. For I had not only what I could hold that little hour, but also
in Him, all that I should need the next and the next and so on, until sometimes
I get a glimpse of what it will be a million years afterwards, when we shall
shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of our Father (Matt13:43), and have all
the fullness of God. And so I thought the healing would be and it too, that the
Lord would take me like the old run-down clock, wind me up.

should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly
lusts. These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit"
(Jude17-19).Already the fulfillment of these ominous forewarnings is manifest
on every hand. The Church of the Apostles became the apostasy of Rome, and
the Church of the Reformation appears in even greater danger of developing
into the Laodicea of the Apocalypse, if not the Babylon of God's last and most
terrible judgment. (See Footnote 1)
PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM:
But the Lord Jesus has not left us mere fragments, of prophetic foreshadowing,
but has given us in the seven Parables of the Kingdom in the thirteenth
chapter of Matthew a very distinct unfolding of the
progress of Christianity from the Ascension to the
Advent. The disciples were looking for prosperity and
popularity. They were delighted with the success of their
Master, with His victory over disease, Satan, death and
sin. What power could resist Him? They saw themselves
already sitting with Him on the thrones of David's
restored kingdom. The Lord knew better. He saw the
dark scenes that were just before them and the centuries
of suffering and seeming failure for the cause which He
was establishing at such awful cost. It was necessary that they should
understand it, should be disillusioned and should be sent forth as ministers of
the New Testament with their eyes fully opened. It is a very dreadful thing to-
day for the minister of the Gospel to go forth expecting a brilliant future,
expecting the acclamations of the crowd, expecting the people to applaud him
because he is true to Jesus Christ. It is necessary that the worker should
understand that the kingdom of heaven always means the cross, the judgment
hall, the minority with the Lord Jesus Christ, our rejected Master. This was
what He taught them in this series of parables. The parable of the Sower
represents the planting of Christianity. Three parts .of the seed are lost, but
one-fourth is productive, and the increase is thirty, sixty, and one hundred fold.
They had to learn that most of their words seemed to fail, and there would be
no response from the multitudes of hearts. From others the fruit would be
transient and soon forgotten. From other it would be lost in the temptations of
the world. Only part of it would come to perfection. That is the first lesson the
worker has to learn.
Page 16 of 30

in the individuals-the many; the Pearl in their unity, as the one small, yet pure
and heavenly jewel of the Lord amid the encompassing corruption. Both find
their historical fulfillment in the faithful few who have
ever existed in even the darkest ages of medieval
corruption; the Albigenses and Paulicians, the
Hussites and Moravians, the Waldernses and Vaudois,
the Wyc1iffites and Huguenots, the Reformers and
Covenanters, and the pure and true ones who have
before and since dared to be faithful to God and His
holy Word. There has ever been a little flock, of which
He says: "They shall be mine in the day when I make
up My jewels." There are some who identify the
Treasure with Israel, and the Pearl with the Church,
the Bride of the Lamb. But this does not affect the
dispensational bearing of the parables. Thus have we
seen the two sowings, the growth of the evil, the
hidden remnant of the good; and we ask, perhaps, are
they always to be thus confounded?
No, the parable of the Draw Net reveals to us the final
separation. Angel hands will make it with impartial
and unerring exactness, and they shall be consigned to
their eternal states and places, the righteous to "shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom .of their Father," the
wicked to "the furnace of fire."
Once more in the Seven Epistles to the churches of
Asia, our Lord's last word to the present age, we have
what appears to the most thoughtful expositors an
historical panorama of the successive stages of visible
Christianity from die vision of Patmos to the end of
time, the seven churches correspond to the seven
parables of the thirteenth chapter of Matthew. They
teach the same lessons and unfold the same panorama
and we may well meet the solemn conclusion which the Master does after He
had delivered them, "He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith
unto the churches," for that is the "last message of the Holy Ghost to the
modern church. It is not the ancient church, not the apostolic church; it is the
church that was on earth two generations after the death of Jesus. Thousands
had gone to heaven. Thousands of churches had been organized. And now at
Page 18 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
last the Lord comes down to earth again for a second visitation in person, and
on the isle of Patmos He gives John a last revelation, a last outlook of the
churches of the present age. The wisest expositors have almost uniformly
united in recognizing in these seven epistles a panorama stretching down from
the days of John to the last time, each of these churches representing a
different age, and yet each of them
continuing in spirit to the end and adding a
new coloring to the whole picture. They
seem to meet like a great stream flowing
down through church history. It begins in
the church at Ephesus. Then we see
another tributary running into it, the
church of Smyrna.
Then come Pergamos and Thyatira. Still
later Sardis pours its dark waters. Then
follows the bright crystal river of
Philadelphia, and at last it ends in a great sluggish swamp, Laodicea, which
lies hard by the cities of the plain, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the gates of hell.
The church in Ephesus, orthodox, active, conservative and growing cold,
represents the second generation of primitive Christians, already so far losing
their first love that Paul and John both speak of this same Ephesian church as
turning away from them.
The church in Smyrna is a suffering church, going through its ten days of
tribulation and purchasing by blood and shame the martyr's crown. This
corresponds to the age of persecution that came in the second and third
centuries to recall the cold and formal Ephesus to her first love, during which a
series of ten distinct persecutions swept the whole line with fire and blood, and
carried countless martyrs into heaven. The church in Pergamos is a different
type. It dwells at Satan's seat, the dominion of the world. It is assailed by
Balaam's wiles, the allurements of the world. It is the church of Constantine
and the converted empire, the church suddenly exalted to imperial favor,
wealth and power and corrupted by the world from its faithfulness and purity;
until the smile of an emperor, the seat of honor at a banquet, the grand
cathedral, the proud bishopric or patriarchate took the place of ancient
simplicity and fidelity, and prepared the way for the next and deeper plunge.
Then comes Thyatira, "that woman Jezebel, the "depths of Satan," a true and
vivid picture of the rise of Romanism and all its deep and devilish wiles and
widespread domination over the Church of God from the sixth to the sixteenth
Page 19 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
century. Sardis represents a yet darker eclipse, "a name to live, and thou art
dead." It is the Dark Ages, the putrid corpse of Medieval Romanism. And yet in
both these churches there are a few exceptions; there is a holy seed; there are
those in Thyatira that "have not known this doctrine," and there are "a few
names even in Sardis that have not defiled their garments." These are the
refugees of medieval times, the martyrs of Romanism, the witnesses for God
before the Reformation, who suffered and died for the testimony of Jesus, to the
number of countless millions. Like a burst of sunrise comes the church in
Philadelphia. It has "a little strength," but it is true. Especially does it honor
God's "Word" and hold up Christ's "name." Can we mistake it? It is the Church
of the Reformation, and its honored names shall forever be as pillars in the
Temple of God, and share the glories of the New Jerusalem. But there is one
chapter more (would that we had not to write it). It is Laodicea, the church of
wealth and pride, but so languid and lukewarm that the impatient Master is
about to reject it as a nauseous offence. It is our modem Protestantism,
boasting of its numbers, its works, its resources, while 149 out of every 150 of
the human race are yet unsaved, while heathenism is increasing at the rate of
two million a year, and one sixtieth of one per cent of our' wealth is given for
the Gospel, and one third is paid for whiskey and tobacco alone; while luxury,
avarice and pleasure are sapping the springs of piety and morality, and culture
leading thousands into skepticism; and the Master, in anger and concern,
alternately pleads and warns, begs her to open the door and let Him in,
threatens with rebukes and chastening, and, with His hand on the very latch of
Time, is about to enter once more His temple and His world, and make His last
awful Inquisition. And yet He pauses, and pointing to the Millennial Throne on
which He is just about to sit down, He offers this glorious reward: "To him that
overcomes will I grant to sit down with Me on My throne, even as I also
overcame, and am set down with My Father upon His throne." Such is the
picture of the Church through the Christian age. "Have we understood all these
things?" Have we seen any family photographs? Are we ready for the inspection
of Him who walks amid the Seven Golden Lamps, and looks with eyes that are
as a flame of fire? Are we in Ephesus, Laodicea or Pergamos, or worse, in
Thyatira or Sardis? Or are we in suffering Smyrna, or humble, faithful
Philadelphia? Thank God, the Seven Churches are not merely for brief and
transient periods, but the spirit of each continues to the end. So there is a holy
Philadelphia even amid an insipid Laodicea, May He find us with the little
flock to whom it is the Father's good pleasure to give the kingdom.

A woman is many times used in tine Scriptures as a type of evil. The prototype
of this same evil power was the ancient Jezebel of Samaria. In Zechariah the
emblem of corruption is a woman sitting in an ephah and carried forth to
Babylon (vss. 7. II). In the parable of the leaven it is a woman who prefigures
the spirit of corruption there symbolized. John wonders at this woman because
he had seen the Church just before (ch.xii.) as a woman clothed with the sun.
Alas that so soon the Bride of Christ should seem like an harlot! Once more in
the same chapter, and more fully in the 18th, the same system of evil is
described by yet another name-viz., BABYLON, or MYSTERY OF BABYLON-
that is, not the real, but the mystical Babylon, corresponding in spirit and
destiny, in pride, profligacy and destiny, to the ancient Queen of Empires. This
name may refer THE GREAT APOSTASY especially to the city of Rome as
much as to the system of Romanism. We know this name was given by the
early fathers to it, and even Peter is thought by many, in writing his epistle
"from Babylon," to have really meant Rome. The fall of Babylon, in the 18th
chapter, involves probably the destruction of the city of Rome. The next feature
of this system of evil is universal dominion. "Power was given him over all
kindreds and tongues and nations." During the middle ages the power of Rome
was universal, so far at least as the world was under the sway of any European
State. It was to be a blasphemous power. We cannot better interpret this than
by quoting the following reference to the names and claims of the Roman
Pontiff at various periods in the past: "He claims a homage which even rivals
that of Jehovah. Some of the titles which have been given to him are truly
awful. Christopher Marcellus in the fourth session of the fifth Lateran Council,
called Pope Julius II. another God upon earth. In the sixth session of the same
council, Leo. X. was called by Simon Bengnius the Savior that was to come; and
the same Pope, in the next session of that council, was called King of kings. It
was to be worshipped. The word worship here applied both to the Beast and the
Dragon. This worship of the Beast was really a worship of the Dragon. Papal
worship is therefore devil worship. The word worshipped here means literally
"kissed." The method of Papal worship is to kiss the great toe. And in St. Peter's
the bronze statue said to represent St. Peter has had more than half of its toe
literally kissed away. To make the description still more literal it is said that
this statue is not St. Peter at all, but just an old heathen JUPITER found at
Rome, and dedicated to the great Apostle. If this be so, then their worship is
truly to the Dragon, for all the gods of Greece and Rome were literally symbols
of demon powers. He was to do great wonders, and deceive them that dwelt on
earth by those miracles that he should have power to do. This describes the
Page 21 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
Page 22 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
France and Austria, and her present attempt is to get control of the
democracies of Europe and America.
6. She is represented as holding in her hand a golden cup full of
abominations. The very seal of Rome is a woman holding in her hand a
golden cup with the inscription-"Sedet super uniuersom:"
7. She is to be supported by the kings of earth and then despoiled by them.
"They shall hate the harlot and make her desolate and naked, and shall
eat her flesh and burn her with fire." This is one of the most remarkable
fulfillments of prophecy. The world has witnessed just this spectacle for
nearly one hundred years. France, the eldest son of the Papacy, was the
first to turn upon her. The French Revolution struck her the first terrible
blow, and then Napoleon finished it, capturing and deposing the Pope
himself. Then Italy finished what France began. Portugal has since
followed suit, and today Cardinal Manning truly says, there is not a
nation to stand up, for the rights of the Church.
8. The same picture as Daniel gave of her as a persecuting power. She Is
"drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus."
9. And the same duration is also assigned, as given by Daniel, "Power was
given to continue forty and two months"; that is, 1,260 years,
10. The fall of Rome is described in the eighteenth chapter. This has not
yet come. It would seem to indicate some sudden and terrific catastrophe
coming "in one hour," and engulfing the City of Ages in a ruin like Sodom
and Gomorrah, Ever since the days of the fathers it has been supposed
that 'this will come through some great natural convulsion, and that
Rome will go to its doom amid earthquake shock and fearful eruptions of
fire and brimstone.
Page 23 of 30
Kingdom of Heaven & God: by O. P. Armstrong, July 2013
11. But before this comes it may be we have much to develop. Out of its
mouth, along with the Dragon and False Prophet; are to go, and are going,
"the unclean spirits, like frogs, which are the spirits of devils working
miracles," which are to gather the kings of the earth to the last battle of
the present age, the day of Armageddon. It is to grow more distinctly and
manifestly evil to the close, its last head will be the 'devil himself. When
Romanism falls then Satan in person is to be the head of the old Roman
beast, and lead the powers of earth once more against the Lamb'. "The
beast that was and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven and
goes into perdition." This, then, is the Divine picture of the great Apostasy.
Today she is making her last desperate struggle. Let us not be deceived.
Her kingdom is gone, but her life is not dead. Innumerable facts show her
vitality. She is not going to be converted, but consumed. But there is a
remnant in her .bosom that God is calling forth. And our ministry
preparatory to the end is to send forth the heralds of the Gospel among all
her benighted votaries, and cry: "Come out of her my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."
THE PAROUSIA
The Parable of the Ten Virgins in the 25th chapter of
Matthew gives us a far-off vision of the Marriage
Supper of the Lamb, and suggests with solemn
warning the danger that some may miss their place
in that blessed company. Surely there must be a
difference between the saintly souls that have been
"washed and made white and tried," and the men
and women who have found their happiness in the things of the world, and
would not understand the Rapture of the Bridegrooms love. Are these earth-
stained souls, even if saved at last, to have the same place as John of Patmos,
and Bernard of Cluny, with Monica and Mary of Bethany? Surely, the question
is enough to make us pause and ask our hearts if it is worthwhile to run the
risk. What would an earthly marriage be without love? Then what will heaven
mean if we do not already know the betrothal of the heart to our Heavenly
Bridegroom and the rapture of His love? Have we seen Him in His beauty?
Have we hearkened to His call? Have we been won by His love? And have we
learned, "For Oh the Master is so fair, His smile so sweet to banished men,
That they who meet Him anywhere, can never rest on earth again."And they
who see Him risen afar, At God's right hand for sinful men, Forgetful stand, of
home and land, Remembering fair Jerusalem."

Many a quiet heart will be brought out into the light of heaven as the true
instrument of a blessing in which others, perhaps, had a more public part.
Some of the special recompenses are definitely described. There are wages and
fruit for the reaper in life's harvest, and glories like the eternal stars for those
that turn many to righteousness. There is "a crown of glory that fades not
away" for the faithful minister. There is a crown of life for the man that bravely
and truly stands in the battlefield of the life and endures the ordeal of
temptation. These bitter strokes are fashioning our diadem
for by-and-by. Then the suffering martyr shall find his
blood drops crystallized into the rubies of a "crown of life."
Then they who simply overcome shall receive a royal
heritage with Christ Himself. And even they who could do
little else than live and look for His appearing shall be
recompensed with a crown of righteousness." The one that
has faithfully used his natural talents shall receive in
proportion to his improvement of them (Matt.25.) and he
who has multiplied and rightly employed his spiritual
privileges and endowments will be made a ruler over as many cities as the
pound she gained. The faithful and wise steward who took good care of his
Lord's household here, and gave to his children a portion-in season, will be
made "ruler over all that he hath." And they who left all and followed Christ
shall be recompensed hundredfold more in that time in the things they
sacrificed for Christ. Even the secret thought of service that never was
expressed will be recognized and recompensed, and "every man have praise of
God." Nor will our gifts to His treasury be lost. The generous millionaire and
the self-denying widow will find all their gifts on deposit, at compound interest,
and they will stand astonished at their colossal fortunes. Like the crowns of the
Restoration time, forged out of the golden gifts of the captives in Babylon, their
gold will be found hanging in diadems above their heads on heaven's pillars,
inscribed with their names inwrought with His. Oh, then, no sacrifice will seem
to have been too great, no gift too large, no love too warm, no enthusiasm too
intense. Life's full significance will be unrolled, and our only regret will be that
we cannot live it over again.

Footnotes
FN1 Great Beast
ABS (1843-1919) seventy plus writings were penned in large part between 1880
and 1917. Since then a century has passed from which to take a perspective on
his writings. The only changed perspective is here-in held that the great beast
and abomination of revelation 17 may be seen as a confluence of Apostate-
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam centered in Jerusalem. ABS alluded to some
aspects of this in his writings. There is no better way to focus the lens of
understanding than passing of time. RTN14

December 2012 was my 1st and likely best Christmas Tour of the Holy Lands. There were many nice people Griffy
and I meet. Tops of the list was the taxi driver in Eilat who returned my backpack inadvertently left on back seat,
even refusing an extra tip. Then was the wonderful lady who entertained Griffy on the bus from Jerusalem to Eilat,
giving Griffy a nice harmonica that he enjoys playing. Also was the Rabi who posted a note to the Wailing Wall for
us. All our tour guides were very helpful. Especially considering that Griffy is a typical 3 year old who likes
exploring everything with zeal and gusto. The Palatine hotel provided a good taxi/guide to do Bethlehem, greater
Jerusalem, Jericho, Saint George, the Zoo, sundry museums, and seven hills of Jerusalem.
Israel is a land of contrasts; the blessing and the curse, the antiquity (Jericho oldest inhabited city due to spring)
and Tel-Aviv modern hi-tech center; Desert and Fertile plain, poor Palestine and opulent business people, metro
hustle and quiet country side, tension and peace. By and large, much the same as in time of Jesus, who scolded
the ruling elite as white washed tombs, den of vipers, unbelieving hypocrites, callous, beholden to tradition, but
yet there are those for whom Jesus came to heal, seek the lost, restore the contrite, uphold and lead to a fuller life,
that he gladly endured the shame of Crucifixion for whom we are forever indebted.
Our Arab guide was likely a Jebucite descendent (after Jebu, the name of ancient Jerusalem) living on Mt. Olivet.
As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah
could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah
at Jerusalem unto this day. Joshua 15:63 ... the children of Benjamin did
not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites
dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. Judges 1:21
As for all the people that were left and the Jebusites, which were not of
Israel whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon
make to pay tribute until this day. 2 Chronicles 8:7-8 Therefore I will
not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your
sides I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the
nations which Joshua left when he died: Judges 2 v3 & 21
Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one
by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the
freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai,
which makes to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and
is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice,
you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that travails not: for the desolate has many more children than she who
has husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh
persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what says scripture? Cast out the bondwoman
and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. Galatians 4:21-30
Revelation 17:8-10 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:

world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads
are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet
come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space. 1

Babylon is mentioned as an idiom for a city set on seven hills in the book of Revelation. Many say this refers
exclusively to the Roman Catholic Church. Others view it as a reference to Jerusalem and Judaism. It is proposed
that the reference to Mystery Babylon describes a convergence of the three monotheistic religions upon the
physical city of Jerusalem. Already all three religions hold or claim some portion of Jerusalem. Uniting these
claims is UN Resolution 181 passed in 1947 A.D. Whereby Jerusalem was decreed as a Corpus Separatum or
separate entity. Separate in the fact that UN 181 declared a partition of Palestine into three zones; Jerusalem,

The Seven Hills
Several substantial world cities lay claim to be built on 7 hills. Besides Jerusalem, the seven hilled sister cities are
Rome, Mecca, Istanbul, Moscow, Tehran, Athens, and Ancient Babylon.
The linking of Islam and modern Jerusalem is
well explained in New Testament literature. A
uniting of the monotheist religions, as
represented by these major cities, would be a
modern tower of Babel.
If one starts with the Mount of Olives just to
the east of the main City of Jerusalem (but still
reckoned to be located within the environs of
Jerusalem), there are three summits to that
Mount of Olives:
The northern summit is called Scopus [Hill One],
The middle summit (hill) was called Nob [Hill Two],
The highest point of Olivet itself, and the
southern summit (hill) was called in the Holy

Babel
Babylon is a name taken from root word Babel. The tower of Babel was a confluence of people who thought to
raise themselves up to God by building a tower up to God. This collective work displeased God. Subsequently, God
scattered the people by giving people many languages; lest mankind try to make themselves as equals to God. In
the concept of Babylon as Jerusalem , this represents mankind again attempting to unite, into a confluence, the
universal God concept for all peoples. Hence a Babel of religions or a Babel of the God concept, united under a
false prophet and false messiah. The book of revelation indicates such a system will initiate supernatural wrath on
earth from heaven.
Using, The Balfour Century, concept, (1917-2017), it is predicted these events will commence prior to December
2017. The Balfour Century time line concept is based on 7,000 years total of determined time. Four thousand years
of determined time had elapsed up to the anointing of Jesus the Christ by St. John, about 27 AD. There are one
thousand years reserved as a future Sabbath Day of millennial peace. This leaves 2 millennial days of Messianic
work, of which 1,985 years had passed in 2012 since Messiah anointing in 27AD. The remaining 15 years of
Messianic work are envisioned as: five years of preparation, 2012 to 2017; 2520 days of tribulation, 2017-2024;
about three years of confusion and war, 3024 to 3027. After 3027 follows eternal righteousness and time no
more. The Balfour Century from 1917 until 2017 is a hundred year warning Generation, similar to the warning
time from Noah. The hundred year generation of judgment and redemption is also indicated by the generations of
Israel from Egypt to Canaan.

Israel, A Land of Milk and Honey?
Another striking feature of Israels geography was how great a portion of
the land is arid desert. Because of the desert only a small portion of Israel
and the Palestine Authoritys land are presently inhabited. This is one
source of antagonism between the Jewish and other populations.
Improved irrigation of selected arid parts of the land is one way to reduce
these tensions between the population groups. The missing element is a
suitable water supply. The present water supply is stretched beyond
capacity when rainfall is sparse. New reverse osmosis seawater to potable
water system is slated to be commissioned in 2013. However more water
sources would be required to make the arid lands fertile. One possible
source would be thermal desalination, were a suitable energy supply
available. An Extensive supply of offshore gas is slated to become
available by year 2017 . With such gas, thermal desalination could become
a viable option to produce a copious supply of irrigation water from
seawater. That could truly transform the desert of Palestine and alleviate
the land issue for the population.

Explanation of Info Graphic
The above info graphic is given as some doubt the claim that those offshore from Jerusalem shall see the smoke
of her burning. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her
torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and
scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to naught. And
every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried
when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! Rev18.15-18
The 1st table gives consideration to the recorded fact that Mediterranean Sea is visible from some Judean
mountains. But as witnessed by Prof. Adam Zertal of Haifa this is recorded in the case of Mount Ebal. This
observation is thus mathematically extended to city Jerusalem by means of geography and the Distance-to-
Horizon-Equation. This analogy concludes that one could see between 14 and 25 miles offshore, depending on
atmospheric conditions. The next fact is that seeing a cloud from afar off is much easier that seeing through a
cloud to some distant point. For the view when looking out from a cloud can be obscured by the cloud haze.
Seeing a cloud from afar only requires a clear view from the sea inland, I C U, U not C Me.
The second table considers obstruction of view by line of sight hills or buildings. This is done using similar
triangles. The question is how high a barrier must be placed in the line of sight to obscure the view from afar?
The answer depends upon the distance between the observation point and the viewed point. The greater that
distance the higher an allowed obstruction can be. Secondly, more atmospheric haze can be tolerated the closer
an observation point is to the viewed object. This effect is considered in the latter columns of Table 2. For
example at only 1 mile offshore, only 68% opacity is needed but an object of a mere 68 feet could hide the cloud.
Conversely, at about 12 miles offshore (the afar off case) one needs an average atmospheric opacity of 80%.
From this view it would require a building or hill of 645 feet onshore to obscure the view. This holds only for
objects onshore. The further inland a hill the higher it must be to block the cloud view. As seen by the scaled
relief such elevations are not found between sea shore and Jerusalem.
Comparison of Jerusalem to Humanity
Some ignore the depravity of humanity or consider fallen Jerusalem above humanity. In truth the saying rings
out like a bell at midnight, we have turned each to our own way and none seeks His council. Even within
Solomons lifetime, did the cankerworm of idolatry set to work in the infant city of Jerusalem. Five short years
after Solomons death and after dedication by Shekina Glory in Jerusalem, was the city sacked and the temple
ornaments carted off to Egypt. No surer confirmation of apostasy could be made than this judgment. No truer
foreshadow could be issued upon the citys future than this fast judgment. For in the following 3,000 years
this scene has repeated itself on a predictable basis. Yet for all this, Jerusalem remains the city of The Great
King. So also with man and humanity, for shortly after Eves creation was the fall and promise of redemption.
That man in the likeness of God is where will be the dwelling of The Great King. So also with the Church have
been a predictable past of honor and decay of renewal and falling away. So with redeemed man the cycle of
fire and ice is predictable. But of those you have given me have none been lost except Judas and he that
comes to me will I in nowise cast out To Peter were the words of assurance, Satan hath desired to shift thee
as wheat but I have prayed that your faith fail not. Know that He ever lives to make intercession until that day
when the tempter is assigned his final rest never to shift people again.
Revelation 17:8-10 The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the

Introduction:
An important time concept is The Foundation of The World. This gives rise to two
ages, either Before The Foundation of The World or Since The Foundation of The
World. The time Before The Foundation of The World, takes in everything that
happened prior to that event. This present age of redemption is The World referred to
by scripture. This 6,000 year age of redemption began with Adams fall. The other
information contained in bible scripture is provided as a foot note to facilitate
understanding Gods plan of redemption. For scripture is but a love letter from a jilted
lover to his lost love, mankind. Man, made in the likeness of God, has no greater
purpose than to reflect the light and image of the unseen Godhead. For as the moon is
to rule the night so also is regenerated man to rule or fill the darkness of this fallen age.
We are told the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. Thus the world or
this age was founded when the Lamb was slain. When did that happen? It happened
shortly after the fall of man. The Genesis account tells that after man ate of the
forbidden fruit he sewed garments from fig leaves to cover his nakedness. Gods
question was, who told you that you are naked?
Adams fig leafs speak of man trying to redeem himself or cover his nakedness. Not
pleased with this act of works, the Elohim slew an animal to cloth man. That act of
grace signifies the slaying of the Lamb, Christ our eternal reconciliation unto a righteous
God. For without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. But the blood of
Lambs and calves cannot eternally cover our sin. Only Christ who entered the Holy
place by way of his own blood could forever cover our sins. Christ death made a way
for wayward man to stand once again in presence of a righteous God. This was by
offering the just for the unjust, the clean for the unclean. Before the fall there was not a
need for redemption. After the fall God made a complete work of reconciliation. For it
was then, that Christ agreed within the Godhead Foundation of The World FOTW range

fall was prior to Seths birth. If Seths birth preceded Sin, then not all would be polluted
by sin. But scripture says by one man sin entered all. Resolution of this question had to
await the Kingdom of God. This happened when Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan.

This being about 27AD by most accounts. John was 3 month elder to Jesus. Jesus
baptism being at about age 30 and John likely started his priestly work about age 30
also. So, the baptism of Jesus likely happened around 27 or 28 AD.

The seven days of creation explain that just as God made this world in six days and
rested on the 7th day He shall complete the world re-creation in seven millennial days.
The completion of Solomons temple in 7 years also alludes to this concept. The book of
revelation also shows this concept. For after the world rests from sin for a millennial
day, it is explained God begins his work anew by casting Satan into the Lake-of-Fire.

every green herb for food. But the creation account of Gen2.9 there was placed a
garden of trees, pleasant to the sight and good for food. In the Gen2 account a
restriction is placed on eating of one particular tree.
Another difference in Gen1.27 creation is that in the image of God He created him, male
and female. Thus is a sense of immediate creation of a breeding species of humans in
His image 1.28 and 1.26. But not until chapter 2 and after the Sabbath rest that one is
told and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being,
Gen2.7. Further the Gen 2 account has the woman being created after the garden was
made and after Adam named every beast. Thus the Gen2 account has a definitive space
of time between creation of man and woman. This is not given in Gen1.27 account.
These points are detailed in Table4.

The above diagram chart from Larkin was modified to better see these concepts. The
Tables 5 & 6 provides scripture references to the concepts given in Larkins chart.
Simply stated there were likely other ages prior to the current world. For this world
concept deals with fallen man upon whom God breathed a soul. It is likely that older
humanoid types were devoid of a living soul. This is called the Gap Theory of Creation.
Appendix 1 Chronology Comparisons with TBC Age of Sin
The Balfour Century, TBC, method uses Age of Sin or Foundation of the World
(FOTW) basis of chronology. The best way to place some perspective upon this
method is by comparison to others work.
TBC perspective is that the baptism of Jesus by John in river Jordan at year 27AD
(+/-2) defined the beginning of the Kingdom of God. When Jesus stated the Law
and Prophets were until John and since then the Kingdom of God is preached,
then He announced the final 3000 years of this age. The Foundation of the World
(FOTW) began when the Lamb of God was slain and this event happened when
man sinned. The sin of man made it necessary for God to begin a new work of
creation to make a new heaven and new earth. This present work of creating a
new heaven and new earth is a seven thousand year process. Seven thousand
years corresponds to seven millennial days. These days were divided at the river
Jordan by Jesus baptism, just as God parted the river Jordan for the Children of
Israel to enter the Promised Land in the days of Joshua. Joshua is the Latinized
Hebrew name of Jesus. This supernatural parting of Jordan again happened upon
Elisha getting the double portion from Elijah. Again as a symbol of starting a new
era whereby the work of God would be completed in double rhythm compared to
the prior pace. The work time prior to Jesus crossing Jordan was 4000 years. The
work time remaining after Jesus crossed Jordan by his baptism was 2000 years,
with one millennial day of rest after the work of God is complete. This makes a
total of 7000 years. Four thousand years prior to 27AD was the year 3974. This
year 3974 represents also the year when this present world of sin and redemption
was founded, FOTW. The sin of Adam slew the Lamb of God which in-turn,
founded this present world of sin and redemption by grace.
By scripture & Josephus there is sufficient information to compile an approximate
chronology from Adam unto Christ. This was done by Ussher. However there is not
given a specific age or date when Adam sinned. It is TBC view that any reasonable
chronology must fit within the 4,000 years prior to 27AD, the age of Adam, and the
age of Adam when his first son Seth was born. For if Adam sinned after Seths birth
in Adams 130th year, then Seth would be born sinless.

Temple. It was at the dedication that the glory of God filled the temple and God set His
Name or Logos there. Many incorrectly mark time from Jesus birth or death. This is not
taught by Luke16.16. Nor is the start of Solomons temple an august date. Rather it is
the dedication or anointing dates for these two temples that mark time. The

This Table details methods and criteria for error minimization by 6 Independent items. The result
determined the most likely 15th Year of Tiberius Caesar to be27.3AD. The result was marginally different
from just using the 1st two criteria. . The 1st two criteria of Exodus date and Solomon temple completion
date were discussed earlier. The rebuild decree date criteria looked at years 457,458, & 444BC. For the
444 date the elapsed year criteria are lunar years converted back to solar years. The Passover count
indicated there to be 3.5 years from anointing to crucify. Various crucify date were used with error count
from Tiberius 15th year. Again a similar criterion is for assumed birth years 4-8 BC unto selected minimum
there would be 31 years. The last criteria added was the 40 year Jonah warning from resurrection year
unto 70AD.
Since the likely baptism event of Jesus by John was in autumn, the closest date would be autumn 26 AD,
and next closest autumn 27AD. Most scholars see either 30 or 33 AD as crucify, then only 26.75AD
works for Jesus baptism, Birth year about 5BC, Passover as 30AD, and decree issue date 457BC and all
that matched to the 40 year warning of Jonah alluded to by Jesus that foretold Jerusalem destroy date of
70AD. The 3.5 year span from Baptism to crucify runs as 26.75AD+3.5=30.25AD.
They who wish match 40year warning to 33AD crucify fall into post dating prophecy. For they must arrive
at 30AD & that, say they, is baptism. However Jesus issued the Jonah warning mid to late ministry.

For the 33AD crucify group, the 15th year of TC then jumps forward to 29AD. The effect is to bring
forward Exodus and Temple completion dates by about 10 years, and add 6.9 years to the age at which
Solomon departed from Torah. That runs the risk of nullifying only Solomon latter years as apostate. A
33AD date also makes Adam age at Sin to be only 19.5. Fearfully close to being adolescent and under
the age of accountability. A surprising effect of last whole week postponement is that Tribulation start
date falls to end of year 2015. That is very close to the spring 2016 tribulation start for a 30AD crucify.

Jesus baptism by John began the Kingdom Epoch, the Law & the prophets were until John, since then the Kingdom is preached. 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 28AD). 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
