Last June we assumed that time does not exist of and by itself but as something made in conjunction with our universe. We hypothesized that if God exists and made everything that was ever made (John 1:3), then He made time as a grid work for significant events. Therefore once we figured out the the years between them we should expect some mean- ingful pattern. We now look at the inclusive and exclusive years (= N + 1 or N respectively) between Biblical events and factor N (or N + 1). We then show that this "pattern" emerges as significant factors of N (or N + 1) as defined on February 21. Since we expect the numbers 2 and 3 to appear in the factorization about one half and one third of the time re- spectively (assuming N isn't a prime), statistically speaking they don't serve our purpose. Only the higher numbers like 23, 37, 40 and 43 inter- est us. However we begin recording the numbers at ni = 5. Thus we record 2^n for n greater to or equal to 3 and we record 3^n for n greater than or equal to 2. Once we show this pattern exists we'll need an explanation. The much higher frequency of these significant factors–compared to those from a random sample of integers, 17 ≤ N ≤ 13000–should rule out coincidence. For a further discusion on choosing dates relative to another, see supplement: March 3.
The dates used below can be checked here:
CALENDAR #1: FROM ADAM TO ABRAM
CALENDAR #2: FROM ABRAM TO THE LAND OF CANAAN
CALENDAR #3: THE JUDGES
CALENDAR #4: THE HEBREW KINGS
CALENDAR #5: FROM DANIEL TO THE END OF THE WORLD
The factorization can be checked here.
Again the significant numbers from February 21: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 23, 37, 40, 43.
- In B.C. 11013 the world began and in A.D. 1988 the church age ended. So we look at (|-11013 – 1988| – 1) = 13000 = 2^3 5^3 13 = 13 5^2 40. Beginning in 1988 Christ comes as the judge in the churches (13) to test (40) and condemn (5) those (2) remaining. We have 13 5^2 40 in 13000.
- In B.C. 4990 with the great flood we have salvation for a remnant and judgment on the rest. In B.C. 587 we have salvation for those leaving Jerusalem and judgment on those who remain. So we look at |-4990 – (-587)| = 4403 = 7 17 37: God's perfect (7) justice in salvation (17) and judgment (37). We have 7 17 37 in 4403.
- Noah entered the ark on the 17th day of the second month and left on the 27th day of the second month of the following year. Since each month had 30 days (see October 15), he resided on the ark for 370 (= (12 x 30) + 10) days: God's complete (10) judgment (37) on the world. We have 10 37 in 370.
- In B.C. 4990 the great flood brought salvation and judgment. In 2011 we also have judgment and salvation on the world. So we now look at (|-4990 – 2011| – 1) = 7000 = 10^3 7: Complete (10) perfection (7) in God's purpose (3). We have 7 10^3 in 7000.
- In B.C. 2092 Abram entered Canaan and died in B.C. 1992. There- fore he lived for a hundred years in the "Promised Land" as a picture of all true believers living in heaven for eternity. So we look at 100 = 102. The elect (2) have the Gospel (2) and live in heaven for the completeness (10 and eternity) of God's plan. We have 10^2 in 100.
- In B.C. 2092 Abram entered the land of Canaan, a portrait of God's kingdom. In B.C. 1877 God commands Abram's grandson, Jacob, to leave Canaan and go into Egypt. Jacob's emigration points to God abandoning the external representation of His kingdom as He does the churches in A.D. 1988. So we look at |-2092 – (-1877)| = 215 = 5 43. The atonement (5) brings judgment (43) on those refusing to leave the congregations after 1988 and life (43) for those who obey God's commandment. We have 5 43 in 215.
- In B.C. 2092 Abram entered the land of Canaan, a portrait of God's kingdom and in B.C. 1407 the Israelites entered Canaan. So we look at |-2092 – (-1407)| = 685 or 686 inclusive and 686 = 2 7^3: God's perfect (7) purpose (3) for those under the hearing of God's Word (2). We have 7^3 in 685 + 1.
- In B.C. 2092 Abram entered Canaan, a portrait of God's kingdom, and in A.D. 33 Christ went to the cross to demonstrate payment for sin for those entering His kingdom. So we look at |-2092 – 33| – 1 = 2124 or 2124 + 1 inclusive and 2125 = 17 5^3: God's purpose (3) to make atonement (5) for those that will enter heaven (17). We have 17 5^3 in 2124 + 1.
- In B.C. 2092 Abram entered Canaan and in 1988 God commands us to leave the churches, a representation of God's kingdom. So we look at |-2092 – 1988| – 1 = 4079 and 4079 + 1 inclusive. 4080 = 2^4 3 5 17 = 2 3 17 40: The geat tribulation is a time of testing (40). The elect (2) leave and anticipate heaven (17) according to God's purpose (3). We have 17 40 in 4079 + 1.
- In 2068 Abram's circumcision pointed to salvation from bondage to the law and Satan. Israel's enslavement in Egypt demonstrates this captivity. Therefore we would expect to find significance between B.C. 2068 and the Exodus (from Egyptian bondage) in B.C. 1447. So we look at |-2068 – (-1447)| = 621 = 23 3^3: God's purpose (3) brings judgment (23) on the world, as represented by Egypt. We have 23 3^3 in 621.
- In B.C. 2068 God commanded Abram's circumcision as a sign point- ing to the cutting off of sins through Christ. In A.D. 33 Christ demon- strated the payment (death) for the transgressions of the elect through His atonement, which justifies the cutting off of sin for the elect. So we look at (|-2068 – 33| – 1) = 2100 = 2^2 3 5^2 7 = 7 12 5^2. God's full (12) and perfect (7) justice of atonement (5)—salvation or judgment (5)—on those having the Gospel (2). We have 7 12 5^2 in 2100.
- In B.C. 2068 God introduced circumcision as a sign pointing to hav- ing one's sins cut off and His covenant with the elect. In Genesis 17 God tells Abram, 7…I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. From Hebrews 6 we know that after 1988 it's too late to have one's sins cut off for those remaining in the churches: 4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame . We now expect the years between the first circumcision and A.D. 1988 to have some significance. So we look at (|-2068 – 1988| – 1) = 4055 and 4055 + 1 = 4056 years inclusive. 4056 = 3 2^3 13^2: the tares remain in the churches with their false gospels (2) according to God's purpose (3) until the return of Christ (13) as the judge in 1988. We have 2^3 13^2 in 4055 + 1.
- In B.C. 2067 the birth of Isaac pointed to Christ. So we now look at |-2067 – 33| – 1 = 2099 and 2099 + 1 = 2100 = 2^2 3 5^2 7 = 7 12 5^2: the perfect (7) and full (12) atonement (5) for those with God's word (2). We have 7 12 5^2 in 2099 + 1.
- In B.C. 2007 we have the birth of Jacob, a picture of Christ, who was born in B.C. 7. So we look at |-2007 – (-7)| = 2000 = 2^4 5^3: God's purpose (3) for atonement (5) reaches to the furthest extent (4) to those with the Gospel (2). We have 2^4 5^3 in 2000.
- In B.C. 1992 we have the death of Abraham, a picture of Christ, crucified in A.D. 33. So we look at, |-1992 – 33| – 1 = 2024 and 2024 = 2^3 11 23: God's purpose (3) in his first coming (11) to undergo judgment (23) for those with the Gospel (2). Also 2024 + 1 = 3^4 5^2: God's purpose (3) for atonement (5) reaches to the furthest extent (4) for those with the Gospel (2). We have 2^3 11 23 in 2024 and 3^4 5^2 in 2024 + 1.
- In B.C. 1899 Joseph's brothers sold him into Egypt, a picture of the world. Betrayed by those closest to him, Joseph was a picture of Christ. In A.D. 33 one of the disciples betrayed Jesus into the hands of the world. So we look at (|-1899 – 33| – 1) = 1931 or 1931 + 1 = 1932 inclusive years and 1932 = 2^2 3 7 23 = 7 12 23: God's perfect (7) and full (12) judgment (23) on Christ, according to 2 Corinthians 5:10 (the verse does not apply to the non elect). We have 7 12 23 in 1931 + 1.
- In B.C. 1877 Jacob had to leave Canaan and in B.C. 587 the Jews had to leave Jerusalem. Both these events serve as portraits of the command to leave the churches in A.D. 1988. So we look at |-1877 – (-587)| = 1290 = 2 3 5 43 = 3 10 43: God's purpose (3) brings complete (10) judgment (43) on the churches. We have 10 43 in 1290.
- In B.C. 1877 Jacob departed Canaan and went into Egypt and in A.D. 1988 the saved departed the churches to go into the world (Egypt). So we look at |-1877 – 1988| – 1 = 3864 and 3864 = 2^3 3 7 23; the perfect (7) purpose (3) of God to bring judgment (23) on those with the Gospel (2) in the churches. We have 7 2^3 23 in 3864.
- In B.C. 1877 Jacob departed Canaan for the second part of the first great tribulation to find bread (Christ) in Egypt (the world) and in A.D. 1994 those in the churches had to leave the congregations for the second part of the third great tribulation to find Christ outside the churches. So we look at (|-1877 – 1994| – 1) = 3870 = 2 5 3^2 43 = 10 3^2 43: God's complete (10) purpose (3) for those with the Gospel (2) brings judgment (43) or salvation (43). We have 3^2 10 43 in 3870.
- In B.C. 1860 we have the death of Jacob and |-1877 – (-1860)| = 17. Seventeen signifies heaven and Jacob lived under the auspices of Joseph for 17 years as a picture of those in God's kingdom. We have 17 in 17.
- In B.C. 1860 we have the death of Jacob, a picture of Christ. So we look at |-1860 – 33| – 1 = 1892 = 2^2 11 43. So the cross (11) brings judgment (43) on Christ according to the Gospel (2). We have 11 43 in 1892.
- In B.C. 1806 we have the death of Joseph, a picture of Christ. So we look at, |-1806 – (-7)| = 1799 or 1799 + 1 years inclusive and 1799 + 1 = 2^3 3^2 5^2: God's purpose (3) for those with the Gospel (2) is atonement (5). We have 2^3 3^2 5^2 in 1799 + 1
- In B.C. 1527 we have the birth of Moses, who at times represents the law of God; and in B.C. 1447 God gives the law to Moses on Mount Sinai. So we look at |-1527 – (-1447)| = 80 = 2 4 10: God's law (2) blankets (10) the earth to the furthest extent (4). We have 10 80.
- In B.C. 1527 Moses was born as a picture of Christ and in B.C. 1407 the Israelites entered Canaan, a picture of the Promised Land. So we look at |-1527 – (-1407)| = 120 = 3 2^3 5 = 2^2 3 10: God's complete (10) purpose (3) for those with the Gospel (2). We have 10 in 120.
- In B.C. 1527 we have the birth of Moses, at times a picture of Christ; so we look at |-1527 – (-7)| = 1520 and 1520 + 1 years inclusive. 1520 + 1 = 3^2 13^2; God's purpose (3) for those with the Gospel (2) on May 21 1988 and May 21, 2011 (13). We have 3^2 13^2 in 1520 + 1.
- In B.C. 1447 God killed the firstborn in Egypt, which points to Christ as the firstborn (Colossians 1:18) crucified in A.D. 33. So we look at (|-1447 – 33| – 1) = 1479 or 1479 + 1 = 1480 years inclusive. 1480 = 2^2 10 37: complete (10) judgment under God's Word (2) We have 10 37 in 1479 + 1.
- In B.C. 1447 in Exodus 12: 41…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. 430 = 10 43: the completeness (10) of God's Judgment (43) for the Egyptians or salvation (43) for the Israelites. We have 10 43 in 430.
We look at the remaining entries on Wednesday, February 25.
