    Why the probs with Old Testament dating?

    Well, Kitchen is a case in point unfortunately. He dates Solomons reign beginning 971BC but the Exodus in the 13th century BC. It is contradictory IMO to have a 'Book of Kings' chronology married to a late-date Exodus. :shame Im liking Hoffmeirs book. :study He argues a case for Canaan...

    70 Weeks (and beyond) Made Simple

    Ive seen these on the other site mentioned. I would like to support several aspects (but not all aspects) of these well presented charts. The 49-year cycle is correct. Your charts explain well how the year 50 fits in. You have nailed the dates. lf we repeatedly add 7 as you have done, it...

    Why the probs with Old Testament dating?

    Ive been googling around and Dr.Kenneth Kitchen is recognized as the leading authority on ancient Egyptian chronology. From his study of the Hebrew Kings he starts Solomon’s reign at 971 BC but I cannot find what date he places the Exodus. Does anyone know? I assume he takes Solomons 4th...

    Why the probs with Old Testament dating?

    O.K, Ive just ordered James Hoffmeier's 'The Archaeology of the Bible' and Ill keep you posted. Thanks for the heads up. My own dates for the Exodus is 1445 BC, and Jericho 1404 BC. My area of research has been in the internal chronology of the Old Testament as it synchronizes with the...

    Why the probs with Old Testament dating?

    Thanks for those Cyberjosh. :) I have also seen a title called, "Did the Israelites Conquer Jericho?" by Bryant G Wood. Which of the 3 would be best for starters in your opinion?

    Why the probs with Old Testament dating?

    I get the impression that liberal scholars have a problem with biblical chronology as put forward by conservative scholars. Can someone tell me where the problem lies? Im referring to the Old Testament from Abraham onward. (Can we avoid the pre-flood era please because that topic tends to get...

    How many 70 weeks were there?

    Yeah, he lived into the 400 year span and probably even ruled for the beginning period before retiring. I doubt that Joseph himself was affected but Im inclined to think that the early part of the 400 years saw a growing hostility/resentment toward the Israelites that took a generation before...

    How many 70 weeks were there?

    Sometimes a misunderstanding arises concerning the length of the Egyptian bondage. Genesis 15:13-15 and Acts 7:6 say it was for 400 years whereas Exodus 12:40-41 says 430. However, it is not a contradiction at all! Nor are the figures an approximation. The explanation is shown in this next...

    How many 70 weeks were there?

    Bethel dream to the Exodus As said before, the year of the Exodus was 1445 BC. Now tracing this back to Bethel is as follows: Jacob entered Egypt four hundred and thirty years before the Exodus. (1875BC) It was two years into a severe region-wide famine in which many foreigners came to...

    How many 70 weeks were there?

    The main information source is Exodus 12:40-41 So, deducting 430 years from 1445BC show us that Israel and his family entered Egypt during a region-wide drought in 1875BC. The remaining 53 years to Bethel (1928BC) can be tracked in the accounts of Jacob, Rachel and Joseph. (Gen 29-47)...

    How many 70 weeks were there?

    My belief is that an ancient sabbatic calendar system counted down to the Cross. When the temple was destroyed, the system was destroyed with it, so it is no longer valid to extrapolate the former calendar system into the future. Endtimers have a bad habit of trying to guess the rapture date...

    How many 70 weeks were there?

    Yeah, I think its rather interesting. :cool: Hidden in the sabbatic system is a soli-lunar calendar. It did not have the same divisions as us which we call decades, centuries and millenniums. Instead it had weeks (sevens) jubilees (49's) and grand jubilees (490's) which kept repeating. It...

    I don't think I'll have children.

    Nathan, if your 2nd coming doctrine is causing you to think negative and fearful thoughts about the future, then it might be time to re-think your doctrine. His returning will bring great joy to those who wait for him. The pre-coming period will be a time of overcoming and hope. So have a...

    How many 70 weeks were there?

    The famous prophecy of Daniel speaks of a era of 490 years called the 'seventy weeks.' But was this a one-off period? In other words, how many '70-weeks' were there? Here is a timeline from Jacob to Christ showing 1960 years from his dream at Bethel. Please divide 1960 years by 4. Coincidence?

    Amazon for marketing books

    Can you help with a question I have about Amazon? They have a program called 'Advantage' which allows self-published authors to market books through them. Their criteria includes a requirement that any author must have 'North American distribution rights' for any title. Problem is, I am just a...

    The Old Testaments Secret

    Bump. :wave Here is a link that makes an excellent explanation of how the original jubilee system fitted into Daniels prophecy. Prophecy believers will find this interesting, Im sure. Its not actually my article but I recommend it. And here is a link to my new youtube presentation. Cyber
