Bible Prophecy Numbers: The mirror!

Smaller Timeframes in the Mirror

(Bible numbers that are building blocks of the larger
half-a-seven-year period, as explained elsewhere.)

(390 and 430 years. See Ezek. 4.)

430 x 3 equals 1290, therefore also see the just discussed "1290 years".

Israel was "430 years in Egypt", (1876 BC to 1446 BC). 430 x 2 years later was the fall of Jerusalem and exile in 586 BC. (Thus, the theme of exile.)

Moses attempts to deliver Israel in 1486 BC, but instead himself goes into exile 40 years until the exodus in 1446 BC.

Note the eight alternating cycles of 390's and 430's:

1876 BC + 390 years = 1486/1485 BC,
+ 430 + 390 + 430 + 390 + 430 (= AD 586) + 390 + 430 = AD 1405/6.

(AD 1406 is the mirror of 1406 BC, which is the year Israel entered the Promised Land after coming out of Egypt 40-years earlier in 1446 BC. Also, AD 586 is the mirror of 586 BC, the fall of Jerusalem.)

1876 BC + 430 years = 1446/1445 BC,
+ 390 + 430 + 390 + 430 + 390 (= AD 586) + 430 + 390 = AD 1405/6.

(Thus, beginning either with 390 or 430 years from the entry into Egypt, both alternating patterns yield the same end-dates of AD 586 and AD 1406, which are the mirrors of the exile from the Promised Land and the entry into the Promised Land.)

As with all the other examples, the above pattern can also be reversed, except starting at 1406 BC, when Israel entered the Promised Land, and ending at AD 1876, the mirror of 1876 BC, when Israel entered Egypt for 430 years.

Why the one-year discrepancy?

The pattern is close enough so as to be striking even if it were out one year; however, the difference can be largely accounted for anyway. For example, the tabernacle was built in 1445 BC, one year after the exodus in 1446 BC. Also, Joseph was a type of Jesus before whom every knee shall bow. It happens that the Jews bowed before Joseph in 1876 BC, but the Gentiles the next year in 1875. Ezekiel also tells us that the first exile arrived in Babylon in Dec. 586 BC or Jan. 585 BC. The point is that, arguably, the pattern holds true to the exact year and is not out the one year as seems at first glance.

This pattern also holds true for the fall of Jerusalem; because, 586/585 BC back to its mirror of AD 585/586 are 390 x 3 years! Note that Ezekiel laid siege symbolically to Jerusalem for 390 days (and 430 days). Ezekiel was a living portent of the 586 BC siege that occurred seven years after his symbolic one.

There is more to this intricate pattern: it continues except using symbolic dates as discussed in Chapter Four, but for now this is enough information.

For more on this pattern, see the 390/430-year cycles from the Exodus to the mirror of the Exodus.

(490 years)

There are four possible decrees for when the 490 years of Daniel's prophecy in chapter nine begin. Each date has its proponents among bible scholars. However, it seems that each of them are part of a larger puzzle!

The 483/486½/490 days/years of Daniel 9 are arranged so as to cause the four dates for the "decree to rebuild the city/temple" (Dan. 9:24-27) to crisscross one another at 490 x 2 years back to each other in the mirror!

This astounding effect works because the average of all four decrees amount to 490 BC. (The birth of Christ is thus central, and agrees with Rev. 12).

538 BC, 519 BC, 458 BC, and 445 BC totaled = 1960,
divided by 4 = 490 BC.

See, "Jubilees and Grand Jubilees" where this awesome pattern is discussed in detail.

Flood has 8 different possible configurations for dates.

Start of flood	*2648	2588	2518	2458	2433	2373	2303	*2243
Lamech's birth	*3430	3370	3300	3240	3215	3155	3085	*3025
Lamech's death	*2653	2593	2523	2463	2438	2378	2308	*2248

Note that each date of Lamech's death crisscrosses to its mirror date at 4900 years (70 x 70 years). This is significant because Lamech lives 777 years of age, and thus the emphasis on multiples of seven. Notice that Lamech's birth as 3430 BC equals 70 jubilees (49 years) to Christ's birth, that is, 70 x 7 x 7. (Also the book of Enoch and Jubilees emphasize the importance of 4900 years in relation to this same time period.)

"4900 years" is ten-times the 490 mentioned in Daniel 9. Thus, on this scale ten years are as one year. The Flood occurs five years (symbolic of half-a-year) after Lamech's death, and the jubilee is proclaimed half-a-year from the spring New Year. Can you spot the 5000 years of Shem, too?

All dates can idealistically be less two years due to the effect of Genesis 11:10 compared to 5:32. Thus, the birth of Lamech to each other in the mirror amounts to 6450 years (ten-times the span between when Abraham entered Egypt unto the Exodus). 6450 is 430 x 15, and is also 1290 x 5. Both 1290 and 490 are found in the book of Daniel, and 430 in Ezekiel.

All creation dates are in spring, BC.
*4304	4244	4174	4114	4089	4029	3959	*3899

With the –2 years (as explained in previous section), there is an exact 8200 years from the creation unto its mirror. Thus, to Christ are 4300 or 3900 years, and to each other in the mirror (all eight times) equals 4300 + 3900 years. 390 and 430 are mentioned in Ezekiel 4, and have to do with the 390 and 430 years from when Israel entered Egypt until when Moses fled Egypt 40 years, and then the Exodus. Israel was in Egypt 430 years to the day. Ten times this, therefore, we come to Christ and fulfills the prophecy, "...Out of Egypt I called my Son".

If we include the extra two years, and the half-year switch extra (Moses was 80.5 years old at the Exodus), we arrive at 8205 years, that is, 430.5 or 390.5 years times ten to each others mirror, etc.

Moreover, the Creation and Flood dates also circle back unto itself in the mirror!

Before we look at Creation and Flood dates, it may surprise many, but once the date for the Exodus is established, then all dates back to the Creation can be established with certainty. The date modern evangelicals have established for the Exodus is at (or near) 1446 BC. The reason why there are ultimately 8 different possible dates for the Flood and Creation is only when we introduce three anomalies created by the New Testament. (We have discussed this elsewhere and so will not detail this fact again here.) Luke 3:36 follows the LXX and adds Cainan to the list of names after the Flood, thereby adding 130 years. However, the statement from Acts 6:4 is based upon the SP text, "So Abraham left the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran until his father died..." However, the MT and LXX imply that his father died 60 years after he left the land of the Chaldeans. Thirdly, both the LXX and SP cut the time spent in Egypt in half (215 instead of 430 years). The NT appears to agree, (Gal. 3:17).

There are two ways of approaching this dilemma. Create an ecliptic chronology (such as Bishop Ussher did, who combines the +60 and the -215 of the SP and marries it with the MT, but ignores the 130 of the LXX), or we can allow the MT, LXX, and the SP to follow their own independent lines (and ignore the implications of the NT).

Rather than throwing up our hands in despair ... why not add faith to see what happens when we allow both approaches to run their course! If the results prove meaningful then we must conclude that biblical chronology prior to the the Exodus is meant to teach us spiritual lessons through mathematics. It also means that we cannot know definitively the year of creation, and that this was never the purpose.

Approach one: What each manuscript traditions says independently. (We use mainstream SP and LXX texts. The MT has no variants effecting our chronology.)

Also, there are examples of mirroring using the traditional Jewish dates for the exodus too.

According to Jewish tradition, the Exodus from Egypt occurred in 1313 BC.

The prophet Daniel spoke of a period of time similar to the 1260 already mentioned. They were the numbers 1290 and 1335. Both these numbers are variations of 3½-years. These bible numbers may be taken inclusively or exclusively. Together (exclusively reckoned), 1290 plus 1335 days total a little over 7 years. In the following table, once again, one day can symbolize one year.

"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." (Daniel 12:11-13)

1313 BC plus 1290 + 1335 years = AD 1313

1313 BC + 1290 years = 23 BC, (less 7-years = 30 BC. Yeshua ministry was between AD 26 and 30).

1313 BC + 1335 years = AD 23 , (plus 7-years = AD 30 . Yeshua ministry was between AD 26 and 30).

Therefore, 1313 BC plus 1290 + 1335 years = AD 1313.

(Also, compare 1313 BC, plus 1290 x 2 years, etc, with the following chart.)

We can show the same for the book of Jubilees, too.

Starting from the Exodus in 1446 BC, according to the chronology within the book of Jubilees the Flood was 1101 year earlier, and the Ark took one year to build. Thus we arrive at Nisan 2549 BC and 2548 BC (according to the book of Jubilees). In the book of Enoch, a year is 364 days long. Thus, from the making of the Ark of Noah in 2549 Nisan, to the traditional conception of Christ in Nisan 1 BC (and subsequent pregnancy of Mary), are 7 x 364. From the Flood to his birth, plus the 40 days cleansing for a male child means that from the Flood to Christ are also 7 x 364 years. In the mirror there are therefore 7 plus 7 years back to itself. Now it happens that the book of Enoch begins at the creation with a declaration that for a male child there are seven days cleansing, and for a female 14 days, and that the fall of Adam occurred seven years after Creation (that is, 2548 days)! (Side note: The Flood in Spring of 2548, plus 1290 plus 1290 years, also equals the death of Christ in AD 33.)

Moreover, 3.5 years on the Enochian calendar system equals 3.5 x 364 years, = 1274 years. Noah left the Ark one year later (spring of 2547 BC) and entered the New world. Therefore, it is quite remarkable that 1274 years later is 1273 BC, the traditional Jewish date of when Canaan was judged and Israel entered the new world (Promised land). (I.e., compare the above 1313 BC traditional Jewish Exodus date, less the 40 years in the wilderness, equals the said spring of 1273 BC. And so forth!)

Interestedly, the book of Jubilees places the Creation 50 jubilees before the conquest of 1406 BC, (i.e., in 3856 BC). This makes 120 jubilees to the year AD 2025 (and 70 from the conquest itself). And 3856 BC creation of Adam to 1 BC spring conception of Christ are 1260 + 1260 + 1335 to the conception of Christ at AD 1, and thus the same back to itself again in the mirror. From the birth of Adam to the death of Christ ("the second Adam") are therefore, 1260 + 1290 + 1335 years, the three-fold witness of Jesus as Christ, who undid the curse of Adam. (Note: Christ died in spring of AD 30 or 33. At any rate, the spring of AD 30 is the traditional start of Jesus ministry. (We could go on, but the above examples using the Enochian calendar suffices.)

The long-spanning Sumerian chronology also works in the mirror. (The Samaritan has parallels with the Enochian book of Jubilees between the Creation and the Flood.) The LXX and Samaritan Chronologies also glorify Christ. (Example, LXX Flood occurred 1232 years after Abraham's birth. 2166 BC + 1232 = 3398 BC. 3398 BC plus 70 jubilees equals AD 33. But the LXX drops half of the 430-years in Egypt (as 215). It happens that from Creation to when Israel entered Egypt 215 years before the Exodus, and thus, to the Exodus from the LXX Creation (5445, and perhaps 5660 BC). (If we drop the 60 years created by Acts 6 (i.e., 5385 BC), then we have 3900 years to when when Moses went into Egypt, which was 390 year from when Abraham entered Egypt, and so forth.) The exact totals are 4000 and 3900 less half-a-year or one year. (Note the 4000 years of the 360 calendar from the exodus. The reason for the half-year or one-year difference is due to the mirror.) And since Moses was 80 years at the Exodus, thus from the creation to Moses birth are 80 jubilees.

Eight positions are possible if we use the same 60 + 130 + 215 variations as discussed elsewhere. (The LXX by itself is actually limited to two creation dates (5445/5385 BC), and the Samaritan Pent to one, (4200 BC.) The 60-year variation is subtle for the Samaritan in that in agrees with Acts 6 already, and thus is to be subtracted, not added, to be consistent when using the 60 + 130 + 215 variations. (The Samaritan text to agree grinds forward 60 years so that all three chronologies have Terah dieing 60 years after Abraham enters Canaan. Also, the SP, like the MT, does not have the 130 of Cainan, {son of Arphaxad}.) These eight plus eight creation dates that are here created (eight for both the LXX and Samaritan Pentateuch), with the extra half-year position, 16 positions (32 if we count the half-year). At any rate, the dates are 4900 + 4900 years to each on in the mirror --- all of them. (Therefore, the average of them all is 4900 years, and thus intersects with the average of all the decrees of Daniel 9, as discussed earlier, at 490 BC. This, in turn agrees with Daniel 9 (on a times-ten scale) where the 490 (4900) is divided up into two main parts, 490 + 4410 years to equal 4900. Moreover, the initial decree was in 538.5 BC (see earlier chart on the 490 in the mirror). Note that the primary LXX date is ten-times this number, (5385 BC). (Note also the 120 regenerations to 586 BC, etc.) And the 4200 BC date (the only date the SP can yield standing on its own apart from any outside source) in 4900 years to AD 701, the mirror of 701 BC, the famous siege of Jerusalem wherein the very-odd jubilee passage is referred to. Also, Daniel 9 also breaks down the 490-year prophecy as "70 x 7" years (i.e., 700 x 700, thereby intersecting the birth of Christ, and note the continuum of 70-years in the context of the prayer of Daniel 9 when referring to the previous 70 years, that is 70 years to 538 BC, plus another 490 -- exactly as we see it demonstrated here on the ten-times basis.) This 4900 x 2 (200 jubilees) also connects into the previous mentioned 80 jubilees to Moses (120 + 80 jubilees).

LXX Creation (BC)	5661/0	5601/0	5531/0	5471/0	5446/5	5386/5	5316/5	5256/5
SP Creation (BC)	4546/5	4486/5	4416/5	4356/5	4331/0	4271/0	4201/0	4141/0

The same thing occurs at the Flood unto the death of Noah in the mirror. (Subtract 2262 LXX and 1307 SP from creation to the Flood).

LXX Flood (BC)	3398	3338	3268	3208	3183	3123	3053	2993
SP Flood (BC)	3238	3178	3108	3048	3023	2963	2893	2833

From the Flood (death of the world) to Noah's death 350 years later (symbolic of the death of Jesus), are exactly 5880 years, that is 120 x 49 (120 jubilees). Recall that there were 120 years unto the Flood, therefore we have 6000 years too. Moreover, Noah was 600 years of age at the time of the Flood (SP, LXX, and MT all agree on the outline of timeframes regarding Noah.) Then, plus the remaining 480 to Noah's birth makes 6480 years (i.e., from Noah's birth to death in the mirror) -- which equals one season (3 months) of precession (Precession in ancient days was 25920 years long. (Also see www.bible-codes.org/Seven_Lunar_Eclipse_Tetrad_Cycles_Equal_Menorah2.pdf for how Precession fits into ALL biblical time frames. From Shem's birth is 6450 years as well, also one season of Precession as explained in the above article. The book of Genesis says that "as the earth continues there will be ...summer and winter", i.e., seasons. Gen 8:22. This particular 6480/6450 years happens to also be in alignment with the motions of Precession, and to the "Pillar". This alignment is especially remarkable because these three months of Precession ARE either "summer" or "winter" (Taurus to Aquarius) depending on what direction one goes because Precession goes backward, back can be studied forward as well. The middle of Leo symbolizes spring (Nisan) with its +/- 1080/1075 years. See above document.)

For the sake of completeness, the observant will notice that I did not mention the possibility of the less "figurative two years" for Creation and Flood dates as spoken of earlier. However, this will produce 3.5 years less for the 20 and 12 multiples of 490-years for the Flood and Creation (to their mirrors), and thus even the 3.5 fits into the Pattern of Daniel 9 which 490 years also ends with a 3.5 years (1260 days).

Such patterns are too perfect to be chance, and it points to the Sovereign hand of God over the failings of men.

God cannot be mocked. Thus all calendars, even those invented in the minds of men established in antiquity, point to Jesus as the focal point of time itself. Jesus is the one thing that they all have in common! All points to Him! Even those that oppose Him!
