Bible Time

This web site lays out an extensive and complete theory of how time works in the Bible. This includes dating all of the stories within the Bible and includes explaining how the Bible predicts modern headlines.

Key Ideas

• The Bible was written using a very different calendar than used anywhere today. That calendar is neither solar, like that used throughout the Roman world, nor lunar like the Jewish calendar. As readers we must rediscover the original Bible calendar then restate history counting time forward from Adam all the way to the modern era. We show how this is done, accurate to the day.

• Much of the Bible's timeline is recorded as time decorations on genealogies. This is especially true of the pre-flood timeline, and the timeline from Noah to Abraham. Biblical genealogies are extremely dense and have tricky literary conventions. When those conventions are understood and unpacked, Adam is found to be around 13,000 years ago, not 6,000 years ago as popularly thought.

• There are a considerable number of stories that explain how the text of the Bible predicts future headlines. The most important chapter is Leviticus 26. Perhaps the most well known predicted headline is general timing of the Jewish return to the modern nation of Israel. There are many more predictive Bible passages and many more fulfillment headlines.

• The overall timeline of the text is reused at various time scales using various time ratios. This means time has a fractal design. Jesus' life, ministry, and passion week are all rerunning the main timeline of the text at different time scales.

• There are various times in our modern era where the text is rerunning again at various time scales. All of its key stories are informing modern headlines. This includes big wars, like World War II, it also includes smaller wars especially in the middle east. It also includes a host of political headlines, including events like 9/11.

• There is a season coming up in the late 2020s when there is a convergence of the tail of a prophetic replay of the 2000th anniversary of Jesus' ministry year and passion weeks. There is also an important prophetic anniversary of Noah's flood. As Noah replays generally involve war, this is likely a world war.

Website Organization

Think of this website as an online book with a series of chapters. Tabs across the top are groups of chapters. Each chapter is made up of a series of articles. Swipe left/right, use keyboard arrows, or tap navigation links in the headers/footers to move around.

Here is the outline of all the tabs with the introduction to each contained chapter.

• Home
• Chronology
• Jesus
• Parables
• Passion
• Tech
• More

The Home tab provides the foundation to this study. This page is the overview. Then there is 1 theory chapter.

• Theory  (12 articles, 24,878 words)

  This chapter develops the theory of time in the Bible. The articles here form steps in a story. The starting point is how the Bible counts things and how the calendar is structured. The story continues with how time runs at different scales for prophetic purposes. Issues surrounding genealogies are the next step, as well as the need to use parallel calendars. Finally this section ends with the starting epochs for counting time.

The Chronology tab provides works out the chronology of the Bible from Adam to the modern era. This is broken into 2 chapters. The first deals with the historical chronology. The second deals with placing the modern era on the Bible's original calendar.

• History  (8 articles, 15,881 words)

  As written, the Bible counts years in small increments, usually years in the life of someone. Different eras have different textual riddles that must be unpacked in order to chain those references together. Each article in this chapter takes a different era, solving the textual riddles and then chains the year counts together. By the end of the chapter we have years from Adam assigned all the way to Ezra's era.

• Modern  (6 articles, 15,852 words)

  The Bible stops direct counts of years at the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon. It contains a series of parables about the Jewish return to Jerusalem in our modern era. Using those parables we can pick up the calendar after a 2550 year gap. Articles in this chapter show how this is done, establishing day-accuracy from text to the modern era.

• Mark  (7 articles, 8,715 words)

  The Book of Mark has a interesting feature. Jesus repeatedly crosses the Sea of Galilee by boat. When he gets off the boat he gives timed parables about historical events. These travels are historical parables measuring time forward from Noah. Articles here take each parable in turn.

• Grand Tour  (15 articles, 12,533 words)

  The Books of Matthew and Mark both contain a series of parables where Jesus gives editorial on history. The series starts with Adam. It continues with Bible history through Jesus' own era.

• Jesus’ Passion Dates  (4 articles, 5,324 words)

  The Passion of Jesus, the week of his crucifixion, is the most well documented week in all of the Bible. The timing of the week can be established as a high-speed replay of his ministry and therefore of all of human history. Unlike his ministry the week continues past his era and is highly prophetic for future, including end-times, events. There are 3 key sections.

Former Tabs

2 of the tabs from this website were important or big enough to be moved to websites of their own. To finish your education about time in the Bible you need to continue reading these other websites.

• Bible Tribes uses the Seal Dates of Revelation 7 to identify the lost tribes of ancient Israel. Currently around 120 articles of material there.

• Bible Clocks takes the hour based time system of Passion Week and looks at it as an alternative way of actually telling time. Various 3d models are available there with faces designed for telling time by hour of the day.

Hub Project

Together all these projects educated us enough to see there are general problems with all of the Bible manuscripts passed to us by history. To get the Bible Time project finished will require a letter perfect text which nobody holds today.

• Paleo.In is the hub for our manuscript recovery work. Go there if you want to follow along. Especially important is the weekly blog where we deal with headlines and progress on the problem of manuscript recovery.
