Total Life Length of Jesus

The total length of Jesus' life is given in several different ways. The day-accurate length of his life matched the number of years of his absense since Adam. The approximations given in the New Testament contain yet another puzzle.

Background

Confirmation that we have Jesus' birthday and Resurrection dates correct is found in numerous references to the the total length of Jesus' life. These references reinforce what we already know, the birthday and Resurrection day of Jesus.

Auditable Numbers

The preceeding table is difficult to follow. The following limits the data and includes an additional number. The day number in the life of Jesus rounds out the following table. That number starts at day number 1 for his birthday, the day he spent part of here on earth. This additional number increases by 1 for each additional day.

There is likely a problem of 1 day.

Difference in Dates

By inspection the date that Jesus was presented in the Temple at his 40th day is the exact same Biblical date as his crusifixion 30 years later. This 30 year span between the dates shows up in several stories contained in the Bible. Those stories confirm the dates as shown above.

Length of Life, to the Day

Notice the AA numbers of these dates. The last date, 4019618, and the first date, 4008629. The difference in these two numbers is 10989. This is also the year number of the first date, Jesus' birthday.

Jesus walked earth for exactly 1 day for each year since the first year of Adam's life.

Jesus was God incarnate, walking around as a man. Some of his divinity can be seen in this single aspect of Jesus' life length. Jesus had shown up to rescue Adam's race. The entire race, at least those who decide to follow him and be saved, are his "wife." That Jesus' age would exactly map his "wife's" age to the day is evidence of the devine plan behind his life and actions.

This day count of 10989 days between is birth and his death on a cross also strongly links these two dates. The odds of this being random are essentially 1 in 11,000. No other dating strategy shows such high odds of being accurate.

Several other stories also point at this interval. They do not carry the same precision.

Jesus Public Ministry Began "About" Age 30

Jesus was "about age 30" when he started his public ministry.1 No doubt the author believed himself to be writing about the age of Jesus' baptism. In actual fact his was probably about 29 full years old when this happened. In keeping with this scripture.

What we should also see is that is other public ministry began when the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost. This was about 90 days beyond 30 full years of life. The public ministry, when Jesus impacts the planet, began at the cross just at the end of his life.

Note that it is a strange argument, but can be made, that the Holy Spirit did not allow Luke to just write "age 30" because that would have been incorrect, so we can presume Jesus was 29,28,31 or further away just from the structure of this comment. Compare this to Luke's comment that Jesus was 12 years old when he stayed behind at the temple. It was not "about" age 12, but exactly age 12.

30 Pieces of Silver

When Judas betrayed Jesus, he agreed on a price of 30 pieces of silver for Jesus.2 3 This price was given prophetically as the amount of money that would be used to betray Jesus.4 We have previously seen that there is a general biblical principle of one unit currency for one unit time that runs throughout scripture.

When we apply the one unit currency per unit time principle here we find that there is significance in this value. The 30 pieces of silver are covering the fee paid for a man 30 full years of age. Jesus was 30 years old, or, if you will, had completed 30 full years of life when he was betrayed.
