Things I was able to prove:

Adam's first year was 3966 BCE.

The Tower of Babel narrative in Gen 11 occurred in 2209 BCE.

Peleg was born in 2209 BCE, the same year the Watchers confused the languages at Babel. His name means "division."

Tell el-Hammam was Sodom.

At the time of the sacrifice narrative on Mount Mariah, Isaac was 12 years old, the same age as Jesus in the temple.

Josephus was right; the Hyksos were the Israelites.

Jesus' sacrifice was Passover 31 CE.

-------

We start with the 430 years Paul speaks of, from the promise ratified through Abraham to the Law given to Moses just after the Exodus.

"To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void. For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise." Gal 3:15-18

God promised Abraham's offspring would possess the land He showed him in chapter 12. However, this covenant was not ratified through sacrifice until chapter 15. This is the covenant promise Paul speaks of ratified by God beginning the 430 years. As a side note, Paul is saying Christ is promised the land.

"To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates." Gen 15:18

"Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon." Gen 15:8,9

There are 1656 years from Adam to the flood and 352 years from the flood to Abraham's birth.

After Abraham and Sarah left Haran in chapter 12, they went to Egypt. After leaving Egypt, Abraham and Lot separated in chapter 13 when Abraham settled in the oaks of Mamre.

Then, in Chapter 14, Abraham rescues Lot and is blessed by Melchizedek. Then, in Gen 15, the covenant is ratified through sacrifice, which Paul speaks of beginning the 430 years before the law. So, at this point, we know Abraham was older than 75 when he left Haran and not yet 86 when having Ishmael.

In chapter 16, Abraham's servant Hagar had Ishmael when Abraham was 86.

Issac is promised in Gen 17 when Abraham is 99

Then you have Sodom destroyed in chapter 19.

Isaac was born when Abraham was 100; therefore, 452 years after the flood.

Isaac is weaned in chapter 21, and the sacrifice narrative comes in chapter 22. Once you know the year Abraham was born, you know the year Sodom was destroyed and Isaac's age at the sacrifice narrative.

Sarah dies at 127 in chapter 23. Therefore, Isaac is between 3 and 5 to 37 in the sacrifice narrative.

-------

450 years

"The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. And for about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. And after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance. All this took about 450 years. And after that he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet." Acts 13:17-20

These 450 years end with the division of Canaan and begin with the choosing of the ancestors who were led out of Egypt.

-------

400 years

"And God spoke to this effect—that his offspring would be sojourners in a land belonging to others, who would enslave them and afflict them four hundred years. ‘But I will judge the nation that they serve,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out and worship me in this place." Acts 7:6,7

"Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years." Gen 15:13

Abraham's offspring would sojourn in a land belonging to others. The critical distinction is that it doesn't say Abraham alone, but his offspring specifically.

Therefore, the 400 and 450 years begin the same year, while the 450 ends 50 years later. Since we know the years of the Exodus were 40 years, then 10 years after entering Canaan, the land was divided among the Israelites, according to scriptural chronology.

-------

480 years

"In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the Lord." 1King 6:1

The 480 years begin at the Exodus to the fourth year of Solomon's reign and the foundation of the first temple. Now, we're starting to get close to a fixed date in history. It's well held that the construction of the temple began in the year 966 BCE, but we can further verify this lynchpin in history.

Jephthah said there were 300 years from the last year of the Exodus to his time. Then we know the remaining judges to Samson were 57 years until Saul's reign. Paul said Saul reigned 40 years, and we know David reigned 40 years. We also know the temple's foundation came in the fourth year of Solomon's reign.

"While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, 300 years, why did you not deliver them within that time?" Jug 11:26

At this point, you have the anchor to work back from the foundation of the temple to the Exodus, Abraham, Isaac, and ultimately Adam.

-------

Some notable consequences of this finished chronology are:

Joseph began his rule as governor in Egypt in 1677 BCE, the same decade excepted as the entrance of the Hyksos. This name means the shepherds/foreign royalty. The Hyksos were the Semitic culture through Abraham from Ur to their entrance into Egypt.

Jesus was the same age as Isaac when remaining in the temple three days after Joseph and Mary had left Jerusalem, that of 12 years old.

Peleg was born in 2209 BCE, the same year as the fall of Babylon by God in Gen 11.

Sodom's destruction occurred in 1859 BCE; at the same time, science says an airburst destroyed Tell el-Hammam in the 1850s BCE.

There are precisely 70 jubilee cycles from the division of Canaan in 1396 BCE to 2035 CE.

3966 BCE and Adam's first year is 6000 years from 2035 CE. The holidays yet to be fulfilled line up with Daniel's chronology only once in every 2000-year period.

The Seven Times​

The narrative of Dan 4 matches that of Gen 11 as both represent the fate of Babylon throughout Scripture.

Dan 4:11 "The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven."

Gen 11:4 "Tower with its top in the heavens."

Dan 4:14 "Scatter its fruit."

Gen 11:4 "keep us from being scattered all over the world."

Dan 4: 34 "My reason returned to me."

Gen 11:7 "Let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech."

Dan 4:23 "Chop down the tree and destroy it."

Gen 11:8 "And they left off building the city."

The Tower of Babel narrative in Gen 11 and the birth of Peleg occurred in 2209 BCE. Adding 2520 years to the year of the Babel narrative brings us to 312 CE, the year of Emperor Constantine's vision.

Accounts from Constantine himself say that at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge on 28 October 312 CE, he looked up to the sun and saw a cross of light above it. With it, the Greek words " Ἐν Τούτῳ Νίκα," En toutōi níka, usually translated into Latin as "in hoc signo vinces". The phrase's literal meaning in Greek is "In this (sign), conquer."

This event signified the adoption of Christianity as Rome's official religion, culminating in the construction of the Old St. Peter's Basilica in 318 CE. It was here, in 325 CE, that the Nicene Creed, a cornerstone of modern Catholicism, was formulated. A new construction on the site in 1626 CE brought about the New Saint Peter's Basilica, also known as the Vatican.

The Lateran Treaty and associated pacts, named after the Lateran Palace, were signed on 11 February 1929 and recognized Vatican City as an independent state under the sovereignty of the Holy See. Subtracting 2520 years from that year brings us to 592 BCE. This is right after Daniel entered Babylon and before the destruction of Jerusalem itself in 586 BCE.

The Lion of Dan 7 represents Nebbi's healed condition in his tree narrative of Dan 4, which also represents the death stroke of the head of Rev 13, the mouth being of the Lion.

Dan 4:33 "His hair grew long just like eagles feathers and his nails were like birds claws."

Dan 7:4 "The first one was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were plucked out,

Dan 4:25 "Your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field."

Dan 7:4 "And it was lifted up from the earth and was made to stand up on two feet like a man."

Dan 4:16 "Let his mind be changed from a man’s, and let a beast’s mind be given to him."

Dan 7:4 "And the mind of a man was given to it."

"And its mouth was like a lion's mouth." Rev 13:2

"It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling." Rev 13:6

-------

In Dan 2, the statue's feet and toes are made of Iron and clay. We recognize that the beasts of Dan 7 mirror the elements of the statue in Dan 2. Therefore, the Little Horn of Dan 7 represents the clay from the statue's feet and toes of Dan 2.

As we know, the Babel narrative of Gen 11 matches the tree narrative of Dan 7; the clay of Dan 2 represents the bricks of Gen 11. The Tower of Babel was built from fired bricks of clay. Therefore, the Little horn of Dan 7 and the clay of the feet and toes of the statue in Dan 2 are the reborn Babylon. While the statue narrative of Dan 2 repeats over time (see media), we see a repeating pattern of Babylon, the head of Gold and Lion being reborn after its deathstroke in the form of the little horn. The head of gold is chopped down and then returned to power.

Dan 7:8 "And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things."

Dan 4:30 "Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?"

Dan 11:4 "Let us make a name for ourselves."

Dan 7:25 "He shall speak words against the Most High."

Dan 11:36 "He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods."

Rev 13:2 "Its mouth was like a lion’s mouth."

Rev 13:5 "And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words."

Rev 13:6 "It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven."

-------

The deathstroke of the first beast of Rev 13 was the wound to the head of the serpent from the Garden of Eden.

Ish 14:13 "You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north."

That headwound narrative occurred at Babel and then upon Nebbi. Each of these two head wounds is represented in the deathstroke of the Lion's head in the first beast of Rev 13, representing the Lion and Babylon the Great; the only ancient city from Scripture said to be alive again in the Revelation of Christ.

2520 years after each of these deathstrokes, Babylon was once again established as the little horn and head of gold.

"Why Promise and Sojourn Coexist

1. Legal Grant vs. Present Possession
   God repeatedly legally grants Canaan to Abraham’s seed even before they possess it:
   • “On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land…’ ” (Gen 15:18) (Bible Hub)
     
     
   • “I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.” (Ex 6:4) (Bible Hub)
2. Sojourn as a Test of Faith
   Having the right to a land does not equal immediate occupancy. Scripture portrays the patriarchs living “by faith” as foreigners in the land God promised:
   • “By faith he sojourned in the land of promise… as a foreigner, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.” (Heb 11:9) (Bible Hub)
     
     
   • “Your offspring will be strangers… and will be afflicted for 400 years.” (Gen 15:13) (BibleRef.com)
3. Divine Timing and Covenant Fulfillment
   God’s timetable includes a period of pilgrimage and affliction before the inheritance is realized:
   • “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers… and they will be afflicted for 400 years.” (Gen 15:13) (Bible Hub)
     
     
   • “Now the time that the sons of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years… The law… does not set aside the covenant….” (Ex 12:40; Gal 3:17) (GotQuestions.org, Bible Tools)

Genesis 22 as the Launch of the Sojourn

1. Isaac as Covenant “Seed”
   In Gen 15 the promise is made to Abraham’s “offspring” (seed) in the singular (Gen 15:5, 18)—a theme Paul picks up in Galatians 3:16:
   
   “The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed… ‘And to your seed,’ who is Christ.” (Gal 3:16)
   
   
2. The Near-Sacrifice as Consecration
   Genesis 22’s akédah (binding of Isaac) is not merely a faith-test but consecrates Isaac—the chosen seed—to God’s service, effectively marking the start of their distinct sojourn and affliction:
   
   “By faith Abraham… offered up Isaac… yet he considered that God was able to raise him….” (Heb 11:17–19) (TruthUnity)
   
   
3. Chronological Correlation
   • Abraham called at 1876 BCE (Gen 12), inaugurating the 430-year period to Exodus (Gal 3:17; Ex 12:40).
     
     
   • Isaac’s offering in 1846 BCE (age ~12) launches the 400 years of affliction (Gen 15:13; Acts 7:6). (TheBibleSays.com)
     
     
   • The final 450 years (Acts 13:17–20) coincide with the full span from Isaac’s near-sacrifice to the conquest and division of Canaan.

Additional Witnesses

• Stephen’s Sermon: “For four hundred years your descendants… will be strangers… and will be enslaved.” (Acts 7:6) (Bible Hub)
  
  
• Psalm 105: “He remembers His covenant… the oath He swore to Abraham… to give the land of Canaan.” (Ps 105:8–11) (Bible Hub)
  
  
• Jeremiah’s Reminder: “When they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts, I will make them like the calf.” (Jer 34:18)—recalling the covenant-by-sacrifice (Gen 15) that defines Israel’s trajectory.

In Sum:

God’s promise of the land is a legal grant ratified by covenant sacrifice (Gen 15) and oath (Heb 6:13–17), but its fulfillment unfolds in stages—first through a period of sojourning and affliction (Gen 15:13; Gen 22), then through deliverance, conquest, and final inheritance (Ex 12; Josh 24). The offering of Isaac (Gen 22) stands as the functional kick-off to the 400-year sojourn within the larger 430-year covenant timeline."

"Here is an overview of the key distinctions between the covenant‐ratification in Genesis 15 and the testing‐oath episode in Genesis 22, with Scripture and scholarly citations for each point.

1. Initiator and Party Participation

• Genesis 15 is a solemn, unilateral covenant ceremony: Yahweh alone walks through the cut animal pieces, sealing His promise to Abram—Abram himself remains passive (he “fell into a deep sleep”) while God “binds Himself” to the terms. (StudyLight.org)
  
  
• Genesis 22 is a dialogue: God commands Abraham to offer Isaac, Abraham actively obeys, and then the LORD Himself swears an oath in response to that obedience. (Bible Hub)

2. Symbolic Action

• Gen 15: Animals are cut in two, halves laid opposite one another—a common Ancient Near Eastern “blood‐oath” ritual—yet no human passes between; a smoking firepot and flaming torch alone traverse the path, indicating Yahweh’s unilateral commitment. (StudyLight.org)
  
  
• Gen 22: The act of binding Isaac (the one “offspring” of promise) and Abraham’s willingness to slay him functions as a living enactment of total devotion—a human‐divine partnership in covenant making rather than a purely symbolic rite. (Wikipedia)

3. Nature of the Promise

• Gen 15: Focuses on land and progeny—Yahweh promises to give Abram’s “seed” all the land from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates, and prophesies a 400-year period of sojourning and affliction. It is unconditional in its terms. (Wikipedia, The Gospel Coalition)
  
  
• Gen 22: Reiterates the same promises (“I will greatly bless you and multiply your seed… and in your seed all nations of the earth shall be blessed”—Gen 22:17–18), but now adds a formal divine oath (“By Myself I have sworn…”), emphasizing confirmation rather than initiation. (BibleRef.com, Bible Hub)

4. Conditions and Emphasis

• Gen 15: No precondition of human action; God’s promise rests solely on His character. (StudyLight.org)
  
  
• Gen 22: God’s oath follows Abraham’s act of faith—not withholding his son. The narrative highlights obedience as the occasion for the renewed promise, though the underlying covenant remains God’s initiative. (Bible Hub)

5. Ritual Formality vs. Personal Test

• Gen 15: Described as a formal treaty ritual (“covenant between the parts”), employing standard sacrificial‐covenant imagery. (Blue Letter Bible)
  
  
• Gen 22: Presented as a sacred test of faith, more akin to a disciplinary trial than a liturgical rite—yet it results in covenant ratification by oath. (Ligonier Ministries)

6. Temporal and Thematic Focus

• Gen 15: Occurs when Abram is childless (age 75); it launches the long‐term promise of nationhood and land, including the prophecy of 400 years’ sojourn. (Wikipedia)
  
  
• Gen 22: Takes place decades later (when Isaac is about 12), confirming and activating that earlier promise through the near‐sacrifice—marking the practical start of the covenant line’s consecration and the attendant period of testing. (Wikipedia)

7. Theological Emphasis

• Gen 15 highlights God’s faithfulness and the unconditional scope of His covenant.
  
  
• Gen 22 underscores obedience, faith under trial, and the certainty of God’s word—so certain that He swears by Himself (the only possible “greater” to swear by). (BibleRef.com, TIPs)

In summary, Genesis 15 inaugurates God’s unconditional, self-binding covenant with Abram in a formal, symbolic rite; Genesis 22 recapitulates and affirms that same covenant at the climax of Abraham’s faith, now ratified by a divine oath in response to human obedience. These two passages together reveal both the sovereign grace and the faith-triggered confirmation inherent in the Abrahamic covenant."

"Excellent and essential question: How can Genesis 22 mark the beginning of the sojourning of Abraham’s offspring, as foretold in Genesis 15:13?

“Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will be afflicted for 400 years.” — Genesis 15:13

Context Recap:

• The promise is that Abraham’s "offspring" would begin a sojourning, serving, and affliction cycle lasting 400 years, ending with the Exodus.
  
  
• Galatians 3:17 says the law came 430 years after the promise, identifying the starting point with God's covenant to Abraham (Gen 15).
  
  
• But Gen 15 refers to "offspring" sojourning—not Abraham himself. That raises the question: when do Abraham’s “offspring” actually begin sojourning in a land not theirs?

The Argument for Genesis 22 as the Beginning of Sojourning

1. Isaac Is Now Conscious and Accountable

• In Genesis 22, Isaac is likely around 12—old enough to carry wood, speak for himself, and comprehend the event. He is not a toddler; he is entering accountability.
  
  
• Isaac represents the first "offspring" of promise, now old enough to be consciously participating in the covenantal story.
  
  
• This aligns with Jewish bar-mitzvah age (~13) and parallels Jesus at 12 in the temple (Luke 2:42)—both age markers of covenantal awareness.

2. Abraham Is Living as an Alien in the Land

• Abraham explicitly owns no land (Gen 23:4: “I am a foreigner and sojourner among you”), and Isaac, as his offspring, is born into this land that is not yet theirs (Gen 17:8).
  
  
• Genesis 22 occurs in the land of Moriah, which is within Canaan, but it is still not possessed by Abraham’s seed.
  
  
• Thus, Isaac is the first “offspring” born into and actively sojourning in a land not theirs.

3. Genesis 22 Represents a Covenant Consecration of Isaac

• Isaac is offered up (in type) as a sacrifice, and then received back as from death (Hebrews 11:19). This marks his formal consecration into the covenant—he is no longer merely “the promised seed” but now the dedicated servant of God.
  
  
• This shift parallels Exodus typology: Israel is “God’s firstborn son” (Ex. 4:22) and becomes His servant after consecration through deliverance and blood.

4. This Is the First Covenant-Oath Regarding Isaac

• In Genesis 22:16–18, God swears by Himself (a legal oath), based on Abraham’s faith in offering Isaac.
  
  
• The language mirrors Genesis 15, but now shifts to offspring multiplication, gates of enemies, and blessing all nations—through Isaac.
  
  
• This indicates Isaac is now bound into the covenant responsibilities, including the sojourn.

5. Historical Timing Supports It

• If Exodus occurred in 1446 BCE, subtracting 400 years places the start of affliction/sojourning at 1846 BCE.
  
  
• This is about 30 years after the covenant of Gen 15 (1876 BCE) and matches Isaac’s coming of age.
  
  
• It aligns with Galatians 3:17, which uses the 430-year mark from the original promise, but recognizes the 400-year experiential fulfillment beginning with Isaac.

Final Summary

Genesis 22 is where:

• Isaac, the offspring of promise, becomes consecrated to God’s covenant through the near-sacrifice.
  
  
• He is living in Canaan, a land not yet his.
  
  
• Abraham reaffirms his alien status.
  
  
• God responds with a sworn oath to bless Abraham's offspring, beginning now with Isaac.
  
  
• Therefore, the sojourning begins here—not just in territory, but in covenantal identity, separation, and vulnerability.

This makes Genesis 22 the functional and spiritual beginning of the 400-year period of sojourning and affliction, even though the legal promise began in Genesis 15."
