It's complete after a week of no sleep, hours of work, and removing assumptions and contradictions. 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 days 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. Joshua: In service of God's kingdom.
Culmination The 6000th year from Adam ends in 2035. The 70th Jubilee ends in 2035. The Capstone only occurs once every 2000 years; its following subsequent completion is in 2035.
